Socio-anthropological documentary
Subject: Social sciences; humanities; body beautification and adornment; the human body as the object of vanity

Created: 1979-1982; completed 1983
Unpublished
Photographs were primarily taken in London and Los Angeles

A comprehensive account of extraordinary images and compositions reflecting the human endeavour in beautifying the body by transformation or remodelling, ranging from make-up to body-building and extensive corrective surgery.

Thames & Hudson were in the process of publishing this work, prefaced by an elucidating introduction by Germaine Greer. Preparations had already advanced to the stage of final plate mark-ups, but due to Kay's sudden death the publication never went to press. Greer subsequently withdrew her script.
