Summary: Celebrate Your Femininity
Comment: I grew up watching old Marilyn Monroe movies and have always been fascinated with "Bombshell" style. Therefore, I was delighted to discover the "Bombshell Manual of Style" by Lauren Stover and Robin Toledo. According to this book, "Bombshells" love men, stilletos, the color pink, are kind to animals, know the seductive capabilities of perfume, and always have a signature lipstick color. On the negative side, however, "Bombshells" are manipulative, selfish, and throw temper tantrums.
This is a very fun little book and gives women great ideas about how to celebrate their femininity. While I do not consider myself to be a "Bombshell" per se, I related to many of the ideas and suggestions in this book.
What I loved most about this book is that it leaves no stone uncovered about proper bombshell ettiquette. The reader walks away knowing how a bombshell thinks, should dress, the type of lingerie she prefers, and even what color lipstick to wear for any occasion.
This book is a quick read but ever so fun! If you know a "bombshell" or someone who wants to explore her (or his) inner bombshell, this book will make a great present!

Summary: Love that Bombshell
Comment: I think this is an adorable book- but I'm afraid that some of the "post-ers" are taking it a little too seriously. The idea of this book or any "manual" is to take threads of ideas from the book and incorporate them into your lifestyle- whether it's changing your Tommy Girl perfume to Mitsouko, wearing a silk kimono instead that worn terry cloth or just leaving your cell phone at home to use someone else (at least once; just for the experience). The idea is too have fun and feel sexy!

Summary: Silly pink fluffy stuff
Comment: The writers got stuck in a decade they probably didn't even live through -- the 1950s -- and so little of it translates to the 21st Century. They refer to the same few actresses over and over. Apparently the bombshell standard was set by women on screen and the setting for a so-called bombshell's life is a movie set. Then, the only contemporary actresses they feature are Marisa Tomei, Patricia Arquette and Kim Basinger, and I wouldn't place them all in the bombshell category. Sheesh. It took *how* many people to write this little bunch of fluff?
