Mr. Cane (the pen name of Michael Christian) has directed more than a hundred stage, film, and television productions, including The Art of Kissing and the Off-Off-Broadway musical Meet the Real Ernest Shackleton.

Women are introduced to hair stylists and professional makeup artists who have worked with celebrities, and men are introduced to stylists and tailors who have the skill to make a man more effective at work.
In addition, William Cane has compiled extensive research about the wardrobe of artists, writers, and musicians, and he guides creative people who wish to redefine themselves with a signature look that is both appropriate and unique.
Author of the international bestseller The Art of Kissing, Mr. Cane’s other books include The Birth Order Book of Love, Write Like the Masters, Clubhouse Confidential, The New Testosterone Treatment (with Edward Friedman), and Sleeping Your Way to the Top: How to Get the Sleep You Need to Succeed (with Terry Cralle and W.
