Trying to be “hot” can be hell. Just ask Lucinda “Froomes” Price
Description
Lucinda Price, aka Froomes, grew up in the mid-2000s, when being hot was a commodity. As a teenager, the now well-known writer, comedian and presenter decided that hot was all she ever wanted to be. She even had her first cosmetic surgery procedure when she was 17. Now she has written her first book, All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot – part memoir and part social commentary, it dives into why pop culture makes women feel bad about their bodies.
On today’s episode of Something To Talk About, Froomes joins Sarrah Le Marquand to discuss her experience of developing and then recovering from an eating disorder, the toxic impact of pop culture on young women and the current obsession with weight-loss injections.
