Thalia is launching a book. Yes, you got that right: a book. It's called Thalia: Belleza! Lessons in Lipgloss and Happiness. Check what the PR says:

In this, her first ever book, Thalia: Belleza! Lessons in Lipgloss and Happiness, Thalia delivers the ultimate guide to Latina beauty. Lavishly illustrated chapters cover skin, hair, makeup, and inner beauty, showing latinas of every hue how to make the most of who they are.

In Thalia: Belleza! Lessons in Lipgloss and Happiness, Thalia's electric personality is stamped on every page. She reveals her personal beauty secrets; she dishes on beauty dos and don'ts; and she shares beauty tips gleaned from working with top makeup artists and hairstylists. Lush photos make techniques easy to master while dramatic before-and-after shots inspire la nueva belleza.

In these distinctively designed pages Thalia teaches women to use every beauty tool at their disposal- be it a mascara wand or a fearless approach to life. ¡Viva la vida y vivela bella!

The ultimate guide to Latina beauty? Well, obviously the girl has A LOT of confidence in herself.

Dramatic before-and-after shots? Oh-la-la, chica! I wonder what "la nueva belleza" would be. Apparently it's something that can be inspired; I didn't know that beauty was the sort of thing that can be pulled out of inspiration. Hum, maybe "la nueva belleza" has something to do with "a fearless approach to life". No wonder why Thalia felt the urge to "write" a book; nobody else knows sh*t about this! :P

Chronicle Books is "extremely pleased" because they will be publishing the book simultaneously in English and Spanish. Er... I think that if the book claims to be "The ultimate guide to Latina beauty", that's the least they can do, don't you think? Otherwise, they would let a big chunk of their targeted market out (whether they publish the book only in Spanish or only in English).

The price? U$S 19.95 Una ganga! After all, we're talking about "The ultimate guide to Latina beauty", "written" by Thalia, no less!
