| I read a small article about this book in Elle Magazine before it debuted. I pre-ordered it for myself because I thought it would be cute. When I received it, I read it and fell in LOVE! (So in love, I ordered more and gave them as Christmas presents!) I call this book "my precious treasure." It's only a 20 minute read about a white stuffed animal bunny whose name is S.V.B.(complete with a star in her right eye). She tells her story about wanting to become a model, beginning with traveling to NYC, her daily diet, getting a manager, creating her portfolio, the many celebrities she meets and ends with her positive note that you can be what and whoever you want to be as long as you try your very best. Star is just so precious and gives warm fuzzies to anyone who reads it. It's simply fabulous! |
| A delightful, exquisitely designed volume that follows the improbable rise of a short, slightly chubby, stuffed bunny rabbit from suburban bedroom to fashion runway to a podium at the Oscars. Along the way "Star" brushes fur with the likes of Bono, Beyonce, and Jean Paul Gaultier. A wonderful tale of desire and "making it," pulled off with nary a mention of the words "carrot" or "hop." |
Star Von Bunny is intent on making it in New York City as a model. Upon her arrival in NYC, Star quickly learns a few things about the business. First, she drops the Von Bunny, even though she is descended from the famous Von Bunny clan (a small white lie, but since her dossier is made up of many of them, no harm done). She'll be like Twiggy, Cher, Madonna -- a true star by the name of Star. She also signs with Bored Model Management and creates her first calling card, along with several test shots for her portfolio.
Star has some special qualities that could work for or against her in the modeling business. She's beautiful, no doubt, but she's also furry. She's quite short (only 18 inches), but she also has near-perfect measurements (14", 14.5", 13"). She has a tail, but really, what other model in the world can use that as their claim to fame? Star wants to be a famous model, and what Star wants, Star gets.
This is a short, hilarious story of one bunny's attempt to make it big in the world of modeling. Parody or not, it's a fun read, and includes fabulous photos of Star in all her glory, along with many high-society models (although none of them can claim Star's gorgeous white fur and perky tail).
A portion of the proceeds from sales of STAR VON BUNNY will benefit Doctors Without Borders, which is just another reason to pick up a copy of this highly entertaining tale -- or tail.
