Leggy Blonde: A Memoir Description
She’s blond, beautiful, and brazenly honest— one of the boldest cast members of Bravo’s
The Real Housewives of New York City and most talked-about stars of reality TV. From the moment Aviva Drescher stepped her prosthetic leg into the spotlight, she sparked controversy and ratings. Now, for the first time, the native New Yorker stands on her own two feet to speak out on her fascinating life.
With true courage, Aviva tells the story of how she lost her foot in a barn accident at the age of six and the numerous—sometimes bizarre— attempts to reattach it. After a trip to India to be “cured” by a famous mystic, young Aviva learned to use fashion and style to draw attention away from her prosthesis. She fled to Paris in her early twenties, where she transformed herself into a wild club chick and danced on tables with the crème de la crème of the big-hair supermodel era.
Through a series of tumultuous relationships, Aviva had four children by two husbands, changed religions, got a law degree, and became an entrepreneur. All the while, she wrestled with chronic panic attacks and phobias (it’s not easy being terrified of elevators in Manhattan), and a few savage
Law & Order–worthy civil courtroom dramas. The real terror of Aviva’s life, though, was her mother’s debilitating alcoholism. Thanks to her loving husband, Reid Drescher, Aviva came to terms with her mother’s early death, got a grip on her anxieties, and found the strength to show the world who she really is.
In this no-holds-barred memoir, Aviva bravely exposes the truth about her many medical and elective surgeries, and what really happens behind the scenes of reality TV. She also answers many frequently asked questions about amputees: How much does your prosthesis cost? How often do you replace it? Do you have sex with the leg on or off?
Filled with Aviva’s trademark wit, wisdom, and no-nonsense candor,
Leggy Blonde is a story that stands all on its own.

Embarrassing. the majority of people in this country don't even have 5,000 in their accounts for the rest of their lives and they have not had everything handed to then like Aviva. This woman disgusts me soooo much. She acts like she lost so much. She lost a foot. and along with that came round the clock attention on her, attention and love and attention and love and if she needed anybody for a second, she would scream and they came. her father is as effed up strange looking person as we can imagine (with his huge false dentures and fake suntan.. trying to symbolize wealth.. ugh) So many screws loose it isn't funny.. he has a lot of anger inside as is clear in the book... which makes the way he acts so much more artificial. He made some money teaching rich people how to avoid paying taxes (gross) and then he was behind suing the poor family where aviva had an accident because she was negligently playing near big machinery. Aviva got millions.. aviva had physical beauty. along with her money and overindulgent parents, she never has any fear of losing any money or losing her lifestyle. i can't believe the stupid bitch claims to have all these advanced degrees and brags about it because she thinks she is so smart. First the insurance policy money she won from innocent people paid her way for these degrees and she lived at her parents fancy apartment while in law school (entitled much?).... then she doesn't ever even use her degree and before she is divorced from Harry Dubin she uses the insurance money again to get a big fat boob job for the clear purpose of making her boobs bigger so she could attract men to take care of her (puke). Oh yea, a real mentor for women's independence. Get big boobs girls!! For the men!! For our society!! Oh please..
