Lucinda ‘Froomes’ Price joins Mel Fulton to discuss her debut memoir, All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot – a funny, provocative look at thirty years of Western beauty standards. Through witty and incisive cultural commentary on society’s obsession with being hot, Froomes unpacks the cultural phenomenons (and pressures) of dieting, to Ozempic, to adhering to narrow beauty standards, and shares her own personal battle with an eating disorder in this youth and image-obsessed culture. 

By sharing her personal battles with beauty and self-worth, Froomes challenges readers to question deeply entrenched beauty norms and celebrate and broaden their understanding of beauty. 

“Eating disorders aren’t just for young, wealthy women—they affect people of any age, and is a universal experience” she emphasises. 

All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot is a fearless, essential critique of a culture obsessed with unattainable standards, told through the lens of resilience, humour, and a newfound self-acceptance.
