5.0 out of 5 stars Divinely Delightful!!, May 12, 2004

This book just gave me six ideas for the bridal shower I am throwing this month, including something that was stumping me: the theme! "Princess Pink Day!" (which is one of the book's party suggestions). Everyone will have to fill out the book's "What Kind Of Goddess Are You?" quizzes when they walk in the door, and we'll also play the book's games, "Presto! Instant Sex Magic!," "Love, Love, and More Love," and recite parts of the "I'm willing to accept diamonds as homage" manifesto. I want everyone to have fun while also tuning in to the deeper meanings of love and marriage, and these games offer both. I may give everyone a copy of the book as a party favor. The book is silly and fun, irreverent and compassionate, packed with some pretty deep wisdom, and sparkling with a zillion little reminders that life must be enjoyed while you sort out your issues and challenges. As Elle Woods and Carrie Bradshaw know very well, a pair of Manolo Blahniks and the right nail polish can be just as important as an hour on your therapist's couch. Ms. De Grandis has the right approach. What's not to love about a thoughtful self-help book that has glitter on the cover?

5.0 out of 5 stars You're alive anyway...might as well be fabulous, April 23, 2004

I'll be buying more copies of this book to give to friends who take themselves a bit too seriously...all my female friends will recognize themselves somewhere in this book.
Very amusing and fun with really useful resources for clothes, makeup and spiritual guidance, this book will make a great gift. It's small, pink, cute and the cover reminds me of Kim Novack in "Bell, Book and Candle". What's not to love? Well done, Francesca de Grandis!

I absolutely adore this book-- it's pure fun! I bought copies for myself and my girlfriends, and had a blast with the quizzes. I'm taking it to a girls' night pajama party to share with more friends. Every woman should have this book-- and a tiara to wear with it!!
