Gwyneth Paltrow's Bikini Waxer to Pen a Book
Thanks to GOOP.com, anyone who has contributed to Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle is now marketable. Just ask Tracey Anderson, Paltrow's trainer who's opened a gym with the movie star in New York's TriBeCa.
Now it's Gwyneth's bikini waxer who's trying her luck, having sold a lifestyle book to Penguin called Brazilian Sexy that will offer advice on "love, life, and being sexy."
The author, Janea Padilha, is a beautician who works at the J Sisters salon on 57th Street, which has attracted the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Uma Thurman and of course, Paltrow. Gwyneth even has a picture of herself up in the waiting room, along with the note: "You changed my life!!" Other celebrity clients have left similar messages. Whether it was the actual waxing or the advice on being sexy that changed her life is anyone's guess.
Padilha told the New York Observer:
In the book, I talk about what happens in the room where I work. My clients are always telling me I should write a book—I give all my clients very good advice about beauty, about men, about life. Padilha isn't a writer. That's why she's going to relay her experiences to Penguin editor Meg Leder, who probably knows how to pen a bestseller. Leder expressed plenty of admiration for Padilha, who she called the most confident woman she'd ever met.
She is known not for only being a great salon person to visit—she does all of their waxing—but also for giving her clients very candid advice about how to feel good about themselves, how to feel confident about their relationships.
We're sort of modeling it on French Women Don't Get Fat, but this is more about what Brazilian women and Janea in particular can teach you about being confident, sexual, beautiful, powerful. It'll have some beauty, grooming and waxing tips, but it will also be more about confidence.
