Product Description

Not for the faint of heart, Cherry Bomb is an A-to-Z reference for everything awesome a girl needs to know, including the obvious (style, beauty, dating, and sex tips) and the not-so-obvious (instructions for preparing absinthe, how to hit on a celebrity). It's a girl's guide with a difference: one that shows readers how to identify, go after, and get whatever they want in life -- be it a hot guy, a great job, a mind-blowing orgasm, or a sexy new look -- all while marching to her own (rock) beat.

Bona fide rock chick Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna's tips are smart, funny, edgy, and will empower women to veer away from the pack, work every situation to their advantage, and look cool while doing it. She's also recruited a rocking list of contributors who offer advice on all things cool, including:

  • Betsey Johnson on personal style
  • A step-by-step guide to performing a striptease by Dita Von Teese
  • Tips on getting inked by Kat Von D.
  • Fashion inspiration from Anna Sui
  • Lisa Loeb on how to be the perfect hostess
  • Life lessons from Tori Amos
  • A drum lesson from Samantha Maloney of Peaches
  • Dating advice from Terri Nunn of Berlin

The perfect guide for the female who prefers black nail polish to French manicures, who would only be caught in pearls if they were paired with a cool black tank top, and who prefers Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier to any Klein (Calvin or Anne), Coach, or Kate Spade, Cherry Bomb will have readers taking chances and daring to be different.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pure fluff..., September 16, 2008
This book would make a charming gift, but its presence in the "Self Help" section puzzled me. None of the entries is more than a page or two long, and the overall theme contradicts that of the edgy subculture it is marketed to: strong, independent women. The book instead wastes several pages trying to instruct the reader how to sleep with rock stars and what kind of bikini waxing style is preferred by rock stars (no joke). It's like a throwback to the 50's housewife, with heavy eyeliner and lots of leather.
Honestly, it was like a modified edition of Cosmopolitan magazine, with a snazzier cover, cooler name, and higher price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappoints, December 8, 2008
I was very disappointed with this book. The "chapters" are mostly 1 or 2 short pages, and the writing is Seventeen Magazine reading level. The advice would be useful if you are a late-teen/early-twenties in America's heartland, or maybe grew up in a convent. But if you're in one of those groups, you won't have the money to buy the trendy designers mentioned, and you won't be in L.A. to use the advice on how to hang in the hottest clubs and bars like you're on Entourage. The book's only high point was Lisa Loeb's great recipe for grilled cheese sandwiches. Save the money you would have spent on this book, and go out and have some real life experiences.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why did they have to add the last chapter?, February 12, 2009
By M. Bloom "geeky neko" (Ellensburg, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The thought process behind writing this book seems to be one of entertainment value and shouldn't be taken seriously. Why would you say that? Because its short little articles compiled in a book for easy access. Though, the book holds true to Rocker stereotypes, including the worst: Rocker = pot smoker. There isn't a need to have, as the last chapter, "The cool way to roll a joint." That honestly doesn't need to be in there, even with all the other content. I think that's the biggest disappointment for me. I bought this book out of fun and to be entertained by the ideals it presented, but being someone that is, what is called a rocker and goth, it saddens me that pot had to come into the picture, even if it's never stated, it implies with just the title and the how-to. To each their own, is true, but why add it in there?

I guess the book was all it was meant to be. It related stories from different rock stars, their girlfriends and groupies. Not much substance but some parts were interesting.
