As the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, Cleo and Dolly magazines, a regular contributor to the Nine Network's Today show and a newspaper columnist, Mia Freedman has seen it all - and written about it, too. From rising hemlines to fallen stars, the minutiae of Brazilian waxes to the 'Do I look fat in this?' issues big and small and distilled them into hilariously charming tales for the Noughties reader.
Mia gives full rein to her passion for fashion, charting the trends - both ridiculous and valid - that cause grown women to obsess in front of their mirrors, and also astutely observes the complexities of relationships between men and women, as well as between women and their female friends, which make up the dance of modern life. In between all of that, she movingly describes her own path through motherhood, looks askance at several cultural trends, embraces new technologies and gives us all ammunition to cope with those times of the year that we just can't escape - especially the dreaded V-Day. More than a collection of random thoughts, 'The New Black' is a handbook for modern girls, and guys, trying to makes sense of the new millennium - and wondering what the hell they're going to wear this Saturday night.
