Audio Books →Ready for Absolutely Nothing A Memoir [Audiobook]

This darkly funny, confessional memoir from the star of What Not to Wear tells all: from her posh upbringing and the dishy details of her career in fashion to her journey as a recovering alcoholic. The fact that Susannah Constantine made her name as a "style guru" as part of "Trinny and Susannah" from What Not to Wear is the least interesting thing about her.Susannah grew up amongst the great and good of British aristocracy and (unwittingly) trained to be a society bride.
Fittingly, Barbara Cartland was her touchstone for romance: she wanted to be the underdog heroine who ended up marrying a prince. Instead she dated Princess Margaret's son for several years and traveled in royal circles, including on the island of Mustique, where Princess Margaret-and Hachette author Anne Glenconner-owned homes and had holidays. When that marriage proposal never showed up, she dated Imran Khan-then a gorgeous playboy/cricket player and now the Prime Minister of Pakistan, before meeting her husband. Hers is a tale full to the brim with extraordinary anecdotes. From lavatory dramas with Princess Margaret, to behind-the-scenes power struggles between Margaret Thatcher and the Queen at Balmoral and eye-opening sex-club etiquette with pop royalty-her social landscape has been nothing if not varied.
