Bombshellism, Bombshelliness, Bombshellaciousness

The Bombshell Manual of Style: witty, fun, educational ;) and all round amazing. I received this book in the mail form amazon about a week ago, and I finished it the next day. Yes, I found it THAT good. But what I also enjoyed was that it covers practically everything from style and beauty to how a bombshell keeps her fridge (like a vanity on ice, in case you were wondering. It has everything BUT food). After reading it, I definitely felt like acting up my inner bombshell, and really enjoyed doing so. But, it also gives some good tips for every day things that aren't too extreme. A great book to keep on your nightstand, for some nightly inspiration.
Since I checked out many reviews before I bought it, I realized many people didn't like some of the contradictory statements in the book. But I disagree. They said from the very beginning that a bombshell is a multitude of contradictions that make her who she is.  So having read it like five times over, i definitely believe you should buy it. And read it. Over and over again. Forever. :)



You can look at the book's site, and take the bombshell quiz here


A peek inside:


"A bombshell is full of contradictions. She is a combustible blend of confidence and vulnerability, sauce and naivete. She wears high heels but kicks them off at every opportunity. Adores negligees and charmeuse gowns but cant wait to get out of them. She always expects to run into someone who matters, even if she's home alone. A bombshell never dresses carelessly and wears marabou heels around the house. She behaves as if all life's a movie and she's the star."

"As for umbrellas, she leaves them in cabs, finds them in cabs, takes the wrong one from the umbrella stand or forgets to take hers altogether. To the Bombshell, the umbrella is part of the universal recycling program."

"Bombshells don't sit exactly. They perch, curl, curve, and occasionally fling their legs up over the arm of a chair or back of a sofa. This also goes for seats on airplanes, cars, and trains."


"No matter how mundane the occasion, the bombshell has an outfit in mind. She plays dress up every day."
