What's the Buzz?

In the waning days of grunge and heroin chic, it's nice to know that the next big thing is truly big. Yes, the Bombshell is back -- not a moment too soon -- and now anybody can learn her trade secrets.

What is a Bombshell? She is a compelling bundle of contradictions, a combustible blend of confidence and vulnerability, sauce and naivet�. She wears high heels but kicks them off at every opportunity. Adores neglig�es and charmeuse gowns but can't wait to peel them off. She always expects to run into somebody who matters, even if she's home alone. A Bombshell never dresses carelessly and always wears marabou mules around the house. She behaves as if life is a movie and she is the star.

In this glittering beauty and lifestyle guide packed with pearls of wisdom, Laren Stover and her co-writers have compiled everything you need to know to live the Bombshell life, including:

Bombshell perfumes: Chanel No. 5, Joy, Spring Flower by Creed.
What's in a Bombshell's day bag: lipstick, cocktail umbrella, tattered roll of butter rum LifeSavers, napkin from the Plaza hotel bathroom.
Bombshell footwear: mules, slingbacks, the classic pump.
What's in a Bombshell's library: Peyton Place, The Little Engine That Could, Thus Spake Zarathustra, A Book for All and None.
Things a Bombshell gets away with that ordinary women can't: tantrums, a lack of domestic prowess, petty crimes.
Music a Bombshell exercises to: Xavier Cugat, Eartha Kitt, Robert Mitchum's version of "Momma Looka Boo Boo."
With scads of little-known facts about real-life Bombshells like Liz, Marilyn and Lana and stunning illustrations by Ruben Toledo, this fun and ever-so-practical little book is certain to bring out the inner Bombshell in every reader.
