Just as every person has a unique personality, every person has a unique body, and every body tells its own story.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eBody Talk\u003c\/i\u003e, thirty-seven writers, models, actors, musicians, and artists share essays, lists, comics, and illustrations—about everything from size and shape to scoliosis, from eating disorders to cancer, from sexuality and gender identity to the use of makeup as armor.
