Book Reviews of Bombshell Manual of Style, The
Book Review: Can't Get Enough Of This Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my first copy of this book almost 7 or 8 years ago -- I think. (Yes, my first copy. -- It became worn out & was falling apart from so much use.) The first thing that drew me to the book was the title. I perused it in the bookstore & HAD to get it. She had described A LOT of my favorite perfumes -- a lot of my favorite makeup colors, a lot of my favorite books, a hotel I had heard of & wanted to stay in -- even the room I wanted to stay in and a lot of my favorite movies and actresses. Well, when I saw so much of myself in the book, it was kismet. I still love this book because it's ageless and timeless. You don't have to be a youngster to be a Bombshell -- in fact the book would insinuate that we can certainly get better with age. The book doesn't spend time giving dime a dozen advice on what you SHOULD eat, wear, how to tie a scarf, what to do for your body type, face shape etc. It merely tells you what Bombshells of the day have been known to do & draw your own conclusion from there. It's also a crazy mix of dimestore & extravagant lists -- like a Bombshell may favor Revlon lipstick but may have an Hermes bag. It also emphasizes being well rounded. A Bombshell is not just about what's on the outside. It's about the brains, and what comes from the inside. This book is as much about bringing your inner fantasy out as well as being informational and humorous. I hope this book stays around long enough for me to get a third or fourth copy if I ever need it!
