Traumarama!: Real Girls Share Their Most Embarrassing Moments Ever! [Paperback]

Seventeen Magazine (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2005

Seventeen magazine's wildly popular column about the embarrassments and humiliations we all endure is now collected in one hilarious volume.
One thing's for sure: we can ALL relate...

Each month, Seventeen magazine rounds up the most hysterical bloopers from real girls' lives in its "Traumarama" column--a consistent favorite of Seventeen readers. Now the editors of Seventeen have compiled the best stories into one hilarious book. From totally un-planned wardrobe malfunctions to saying the absolute wrong thing in front of the absolute right guy, these are tales everyone can relate to. And, as if the stories themselves weren't enough for a huge laugh-fest, fantastic full-color illustrations appear throughout to capture the complete embarrassment it all it's glory!

Traumarama will be in-stores in December 2005--in time to coincide with the big finale of the reality show--the search for America's "young sweetheart"--which will air through the Fall.

This review is from: Traumarama!: Real Girls Share Their Most Embarrassing Moments Ever! (Paperback)

I bought this as a gift for my teenage daughter and thought I was getting her something that would be funny and adult-like. I was very disappointed because it was designed to be almost like a kindergartener's cardboard book with many cute pictures. It was the written equivalent of "Funniest Home Vidoes" TV show where there is too much time spent being cute and funny in the studio and not enough time showing funny videos. There were lots of bright colors and pictures, but not enough writing. My daughter was excited to get the book but then read the whole thing in about 5 minutes. I think they took one sample "moment" from each magazine from the past couple of years to fill this little book. I would never recommend purchasing this book to anyone.

Going into school unknowingly with red lipstick on your forehead, getting caught making out in a church, walking in on your professor in the bathroom, forgetting to button your whole dress before prom...
Any of these sound familiar to you?
Because they're very familiar to the contributing teenagers in this book.

This compact good-looking red and yellow red mini-book is always displayed proudly on my bookshelf. I've pulled it out many a time just to re-read all of the experiences. We can all relate to the content, every single story. Because who hasn't had the "ultimate" embarrassing moment? As a side note, the editor's note is absolutely amazing at the beginning. I first read it years ago, but it still stays in my mind as a confidence booster. One of the best editor notes I've ever seen. I definitely applaud Seventeen for bringing us amazing books, not just Seventeen magazine!
