With provocative points to ponder as you read, fun quotes, and a list
of books that must not be read but "thrown with great force," this book
ensures you'll always find the right literary prescription —
no matter what phase of life you're teetering on the brink of!
 
Boobs,
Boys, and High Heels: Or How to Get Dressed in Just Under Six Hours
The author, a self-described
"designer, actress, model, author, business-
woman," was as
much a
creation of 1980's excess as leveraged buy-outs. Piles of blond hair,
a 39-inch bosom and a genius for self-promotion gave visibility, if not
credence, to her claims to be "Queen of the Night," "a contemporary Sex
Goddess" and "the babe who's everywhere." In this how-to book, you can
learn how to dress like her, flirt like her, push your breasts into
shapes like hers, even self-promote like her. This book is now out of
print and is even considered somewhat of a collectors item.
 
Cinematherapy:

Banderas, wet and naked in a cage, is the best cure for the break-up
blahs known to modern science (Never
Talk to Strangers ). Now, for
the
first time, this book acknowledges what women have known for years, and
provides a sage guide to the best movie medicine currently available
for whatever ails you, whether it's a sudden hormonal shift, a bad-hair
day, or a full-fledged identity crisis.

Entre
Nous: A Woman's Guide to Finding Her Inner French Girl
Ever wonder what gives French women that je ne sais quoi? At first you
might think it's the elegant figure, matchless style, and mysterious
allure. Then you realize those qualities don't come from just anywhere.
They come from generations of women raised to cultivate an
extraordinary sense of self. French women know who they are, like who
they are, and excel at presenting who they are. The rest of us are
often susceptible to the next fad, the new thing, the ultimate diet.
We're always seeking, instead of realizing that what we already are may
be just right. Rarely does an American woman feel as comfortable in her
own skin as her French counterpart. Provocative and practical, lively
and intelligent, this book unlocks the mystery of the French girl and
the secrets of her self-possession. Laced with practical tips, engaging
sidebars, and essential observations about French women and their ways,
it is a delightful book that will help you take the best of all pages
from the French girl's book--the page that reveals how to really enjoy
life.
 
Getting
in Touch with Your Inner Bitch
Have you ever said "yes" when you meant "no"? Wanted to give someone a
piece of your mind and eaten a piece of cake instead? How about the
whole cake? If you're nodding in agreement at this point, you may be

by getting in touch with that integral, powerful part of each of us
which is going unrecognized. It's the Inner Bitch. Don't even pretend
you don't know what I'm talking about. The Inner Bitch is the Bette
Davis in each of us, walking around with a cigarette in one hand, a
martini in the other, calling a dump a dump. The Inner Bitch calls it
as she sees it. This is the end of Toxic Niceness as we know it.

Pink
Think: Becoming a Woman in Many Uneasy Lessons
From board games to beauty pageants, a smart, witty, pop-culture
history of the perilous path to achieving the feminine ideal. Deluged
by persuasive advertisements and meticulous (though often misguided)
advice experts, women from the 1940's to the 1970's were coaxed to
"think pink" when they thought of what it meant to be a woman.
Attaining feminine perfection meant conforming to a mythical standard,
one that would come wrapped in an adorable pink package, if those
cunning marketers were to be believed. With wise humor and a savvy eye
for curious, absurd, and at times wildly funny period artifacts, the
author gathers here the memorabilia of the era — from kitschy
board games and lunch boxes to outdated advice books and health
pamphlets — and reminds us how media messages have long
endeavored to shape women's behavior and self-image, with varying
degrees of success. Vividly illustrated with photographs of vintage
paraphernalia, this entertaining social history revisits the nostalgic
past, but only to offer a refreshing message to women who lived through
those years as well as those who are coming of age now.
 
Radical
Sanity: Commonsense Advice for Uncommon Women
The author is armed with advice for the modern woman. She's found the
secret of life, and it's within everyone's reach. It's about enjoying
your mistakes. It's about being strong. It's about eating dessert. It's
about having opinions. It's about adoring feminism. It's about
embracing fanaticism. It's also about saying your prayers, not
overpacking, and making your boyfriend do the dishes. In this book,
these lessons, and many more, are delivered with the sharp wit and
candor we've come to expect - and love - from the author.
 
Sexy
Jobs in the City: How to Find Your Dream Job Using the Rules of Dating

about. You're a hopeless romantic when it comes to work and play, and

from
"Breakfast at Tiffany's." The authors share their know-how on

The
Art and Power of Being a Lady
"Lady." Let's face it, the word brings to mind a host of
associations‚ many of which call to mind costume dramas or
tea-sipping debutantes. That is, until this book, which brushes the
cobwebs off and makes "lady" relevant to every girl and woman
—
whether her role model is Audrey Hepburn, Oprah Winfrey, Madeleine
Albright, Lauryn Hill, or Mia Hamm. In an era when looking out for one
another and taking the high road is too often lost in the shuffle,
today's lady has not forgotten what's important. She is kind and
considerate without being a doormat. She's assertive, but never a
bully. She is sexy without being vulgar. She has great style but is
never superficial. She gives back without asking for kudos. And from
now on, the perfect word to describe her is "lady."
