" An] affecting and hilarious meditation on fame and prestige as seen through the lens of an airline loyalty program." --The AV Club

A hilarious and honest new book in which John Hodgman, New York Times bestselling author of Vacationland, leaves vacation behind and gets back to work as a still somewhat famous person . . . and then loses his job. An uproarious read.

After spending most of his twenties pursuing a career as a literary agent, John Hodgman decided to try his own hand at writing. Following an appearance to promote one of his books on The Daily Show, he was invited to return as a contributor. This led to an unexpected and, frankly, implausible career in front of the camera that has lasted to this very day, or at least until 2016.

In these pages, Hodgman explores the strangeness of his career, speaking plainly of fame, especially at the weird, marginal level he enjoyed it. Through these stories you will learn many things that only John Hodgman knows, such as how to prepare for a nude scene with an oboe, or what it feels like to go to a Hollywood party and realize that you are not nearly as famous as the Property Brothers, or, for that matter, those two famous corgis from Instagram. And there are stories about how, when your television gig is canceled, you can console yourself with the fact that all of that travel that made your young son so sad at least left you with a prize: platinum medallion status with your airline.

Both unflinchingly funny and deeply heartfelt, Medallion Status is a thoughtful examination of status, fame, and identity--and about the way we all deal with those moments when we realize we aren't platinum status anymore and will have to get comfortable in that middle seat again.

Hair removal improvements, ooooh! Ahhhhh!
Color: Matte Gold
We were vexed and a little annoyed by that one chin hair removal after a waxing treatment. Lo and behold! Zomchi invented a razor for treatments in between salon wax strips. Painless and easy to reapply hygenically. 🤗

Handy. I've never put a razor to my face, but I used this and loved the outcome.

Great moisturizer
I tried this after demaplaning and it worked great. I have decided to not keep up with dermaplaning so I now use this after shaving my legs to moisturize them. It works great for post shave moisturizing on the legs and face.

Perfect Post-Dermaplaning Hydration!
After dermaplaning, this serum is my go-to! It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and instantly locks in moisture without feeling heavy. The hyaluronic acid gives my skin a plump, fresh glow, and I love how it soaks in without any residue. Perfect for keeping skin hydrated and healthy-looking!
