Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A self-described "designer/actress/model/author businesswoman," Brill was as much a creation of 1980s 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." Now, in this how-to book, Brill wannabes can learn how to dress like her, flirt like her, push their breasts into shapes like hers, even self-promote like her. If there were a hint of the author's tongue being in her cheek, this book would be a laugh-out-loud satirical riot. Unfortunately, Brill is dead serious. For her, the only reality is what other people think of you; her shallow advice is a particularly revolting manifestation of the "you look marvelous" philosophy that formed the personal counterpart to Wall Street's "greed is good" business credo. Brill seems to have missed the fact that the 1980s are over and the junk bond market has collapsed--or maybe she's just hoping that no such calamity befalls the junk book market. Caveat emptor. Author tour.

4.0 out of 5 stars EVIL! Very, VERY Evil! =-), February 9, 2000
This review is from: Boobs, Boys and High Heels (Mass Market Paperback)
It has oft times been said that "knowledge is power." If you are a woman, the knowledge may prove EXTREAMLY powerful! However, if you are a man, the information contained herein, while very insightful, will prove to be utterly useless to you! Though you will now know almost every thing in the book that a woman can use to tease, taunt and toy with you, you will still be utterly defenseless in stopping it from happening to you! In reading this book I found that I was as digusted as I was amused. Ms. Brill seems to know almost exactly how most men think and has her finger (if not her whole hand) on a mans pulse and the ensuing blood flow. However, this book is more than about how to tease and taunt. It is also a book of empowerment for women.

While this book is not for every woman, there is much information to be gleened, both do's and don'ts. This book is hard to find, but well worth the search. Just know that, if you are a guy reading this book, you will realize in no short order just how evil and vicious the dating game can be. Forget trying to mount a counter attack; Ms. Brill will help you to understand that we as men are almost completely defensless against a woman's charms!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this book!, January 4, 2005
This review is from: Boobs, Boys and High Heels (Mass Market Paperback)
This was my FAVORITE book when I was in my 20's. Brill is so empowering and funny and charming that you wish she was your best friend or roommate (Unlike my former roommate who stole my copy of this now out of print book [LeAnn, if you're reading this, I want it back!])

Brill gives make-up and fashion tips which are totally 80's and throughly out-of-date, but the main point of the book is to remind you that you are a princess and deserve to spend 6 hours making yourself beautiful.

I wish I still had a copy so that I could fill a tub with warm bubbles, grab a glass of wine and remind myself that pampering is a good thing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous, Hilarious, a total Hoot and very, very sexy., April 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Boobs, Boys and High Heels (Mass Market Paperback)
Ladies, Miss Brill's insight into the male psyche is a valuable resource for anyone looking to get a man, keep a man, get a man back,control a man, drive a man crazy, get even with a man, or just have some fun with a man. Take it from a guy (low-life that I am), this was the most humorous (dangerous) book I've ever read! And I'm not trying to kiss-up to Ms. Brill for a date, either!
