Cutting Up Playgirl by Carrie Jones
Is this really Carrie Jones, the author of Cutting Up Playgirl? This work of non-fiction clearly states within its pages that 'Carrie Jones' is the pseudonym of some publishing executive, so if this is true why does she allow an image of herself to be displayed on the internet? Go here and here for further readings on this book, which seems to have stirred up quite a hornet's nest, it appears. The story is a revelation of the author's personal involvements with the opposite sex, of how she lost her virginity, and of subsequent boyfriends and relationships as she left school and went to Cambridge and spent years out in France and Italy, and beyond. She admits that the thing she gets the most from sex is that she has been 'chosen' by her partners, and that any other satisfaction from these couplings has not been experienced by herself in bed. Visit the links for a more intelligent and involved criticism of the book, however my own opinion is that despite this woman being now 45 years old she has not matured very well emotionally. She still acts like the teenager she once was, that's the way I see it. However, if the image above is really the author of the book in my eyes it makes it more believable. If the real Carrie Jones were some blonde big-boobed bimbo I would find it hard to believe that she lived such an 'ordinary' life.
