Cynicism, when perfectly executed, can become strangely positive. Imbued with both honesty and relevance, this sort of cynicism is more about statement than about persuasion - and you can take it or leave it - but in the case of Donny Miller's Beautiful People with Beautiful Feelings we recommend you take it.
Each page is like a colourful fortune cookie for the new age. Phrases like "I was so horny I masturbated thinking of my own girlfriend" and "Expectation is disappointment in disguise" are matched against iconic imagery that is both humourous and naively haunting.
Beautiful People with Beautiful Feelings is the perfect coffee table book to show your friends. Sit back and watch their reactions to each page and you might just find out what they've been thinking but have never been able to say.
