The Bombshell Bible: The Only Makeover Book for Style and Soul... 3 reviews Jacqueline Bradley
TBC Publishing, 2005
Fun, Helpful Read
This book is a genuinely entertaining read, mostly thanks to the humor sprinkled throughout and the natural writing style. It's definitely written to be geared toward adult women, not pre-teens or young teenagers, so keep that in mind. It's a hard book to put down; I kept wanting to read more and ...

1000 Pin-Up Girls (Klotz) 7 reviews
Taschen, 2002
Not nearly enough
+ Another great collection of colorful pinups from Taschen
This book originally was planned for 1956 but somehow the gallies [no pun?] wound up buried beneath Ed Norton's collection of books on Astrology. I guess he became friendly with the original publisher who had an office near his worksite on Madison Avenue.
Just a little fantasy...on a fanatsy. The ...

The Immortal Marilyn: The Depiction of an Icon 1 review John De Vito
The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 2006
This is scholarly, college-level material
Marilyn Monroe appeared in barely thirty movies but quickly became a silver screen star: so many books have been written about her life and times it would seem overkill to have yet another - but what makes THE IMMORTAL MARILYN: THE DEPICTION OF AN ICON unique is a focus on her various ...

Glamour Girls: The Illustrated Encyclopedia 12 reviews Steve Sullivan
St. Martin's Griffin, 2000
Poor Judgement
While some of the negative reviews are too extreme, I agree that "Glamour Girls" is a deeply flawed effort. First, the "GGs" should have been listed alphabetically or chronologically. The arbitrary descending-order approach is SO wrong-headed. How can the fabulous Diana Rigg be as low as #69? ...
