Paper Fashions Fancy (Klutz) by The editors of Klutz

The answer to your question is YES! You want this! You need this!! You gotta have this book right now!!!
For those of you who have the first Paper Fashions from which, there’s no denying, you could get evening and wedding gowns out of, Paper Fashions Fancy is especially for all those Prom Queen nights and red carpet gala events, and let me tell you, the shoes are so much yummier in this one and there are tiara stencils!! Likewise, you can get fabulous daywear from the Fancy one too, and combining the two books-well, by the time I’m done, I’ll probably need walk-in closets just for my teeny paper creations!! Endless possiblities just got more endless!!
For those of you who haven’t yet discovered the delights of the original Paper Fashions, why not? Just kidding! It’s not necessary to have both-just very highly recommended!!

Okay, so with this book you get;
*3 packs of sequins, beads and a sheet of sticky gems
*ribbons-5 little bundles this time, and gold thread too
*all new paper-it’s brighter, printier (new word!), sparklier and includes a sheet of printed vellum and flocked paper too (like velvet)
*there’s a cute little tube of pva glue and of course, 20 tiny hangers!
*there are 3 pages of soft plastic stencils that feature everything you need-new tops and skirts (that you combine to make dresses) and accessories, like Jackie O type hats, and dress trains, little evening bags and even the A-list must have, shades!
*there are clear, easy to understand instructions with diagrams, on using the stencils, scissor tips, gluing tips and plenty of examples throughout to jumpstart your own stylin’ creativity!
*there are even tips about using color, patterns and creating sketch and inspiration books!

Basically, it’s everything the first Paper Fashions is only even better~the artwork, the photographs, the works! The Klutz folk have really upped their game on this, and that’s saying a lot, because the first one is fantastic! Extras in this one include ideas on decorating the hangers, making tiny necklaces and most importantly, a tutorial on RUFFLES!

Again, I reiterate that even though these books are aimed at female population, there’s no reason any guys who like to design womenswear shouldn’t get this too-you should! Some of the best womenswear designers are men!
Agewise, it’s suitable for ages 8 and up, and by up, people, don’t just get one for your kids or grandkids! If it sounds fun to you, go ahead and get one for yourself! I did, and I’m happy as a lark!

For Young Women Only: What You Need to Know About How Guys Think by Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa A. Rice

My teenage daughter requested a different book for Christmas, but when I read it, I was deeply concerned about the negative messages for young women. So I did some looking on my own and found For Young Women Only. I gave her both books and explained my concerns about the one she had asked for. She read both and threw the first one away because she didn’t want to donate it and have some else read it. She thought that For Young Women Only gave her insights into young men that she didn’t have before, but at the same time, it doesn’t encourage young women to try to be something other than what they are. She has loaned her copy to her friends and recommended it to others. This book isn’t as extreme as others on this topic, doesn’t recommend that girls pretend to be things that they aren’t and doesn’t place all the responsibility for responsible behavior on the girls. It does help girls understand the struggle that their male friends face and should help them make better decisions in terms of clothing, behavior and dating situations. The book gives realistic and modern guidance to young women who want to avoid casual sexual relationships and to better understand their male friends.

Celebutantes by Amanda Goldberg and Ruthanna Khalighi Hopper

I admit it, I read and watch too much tabloid gossip. I picked up Celebutantes hoping to distract myself from a much dreaded plane flight. I also enjoy books by Hollywood “insiders” hoping to match fictional characters with thier real-life counterparts. It didn’t take too many pages to make me forget the matching game, and just concentrate on Lola Santisi’s attempt to secure a “star” to wear her best friend Julian’s designs on the Oscar’s red carpet. Liberally populated with real names and over the top characters, the book focuses on Lola’s attempt to not only to help Julian, but her struggle to get over her addiction to disasterous relationships with actors. Aided by her friends Kate and Cricket, both seeking thier own Hollywood dream, Lola plunges headfirst into the scramble to procure a star for Julian. She is also trying to cope with her family’s near hysteria driven by her father’s nomination for a Best Directing Oscar and hopes to once regain his place as a force in the industry. Filled with inside, good natured pokes at Hollywood’s obsession with the next big thing and self importance, Celebutantes is a fun, fun read. By the end of the book I was trying in vain to stifle my snorts of laughter as I tried to finish this impossible to put down book at work. A rolicking good read.

The Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets by Kym Douglas and Cindy Pearlman

The Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets only costs ten bucks, but it’s worth much much more. I can’t tell you how much money I’m already saving on cosmetics that don’t work (but come in fancy packages) when I could be buying much more natural, cheaper products that work better — the ones that the top beauties of our time really use. Why buy $50 eye cream when you can buy vitamin E oil for $4? And the vitamin E works better. In a week my fine lines were gone! Face looking dull? Try some of the all natural masks you can make in your own kitchen for less than a dollar. I even had most of the ingredients already in my own pantry. I loved this book and especialy liked that none of the stars pushed any high end cosmetics lines. I hope that these authors write another book. I need another beauty fix.

Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors by Harry Medved and Bruce Akiyama

While Harry Medved is clearly a movie maven, it isn’t necessary for you to be one in order to appreciate what his great guidebook has to offer. For folks who live in California, there will be lots of those “oh yeah, I remember that” moments when Medved explains where a particular scene in a movie was filmed, like the carousel scene in “The Sting” for example (Santa Monica Pier.) But Medved goes far beyond the beaten track, recalling scenes from “Grapes of Wrath” on the Needles Bridge, and even making a stop north of Santa Barbara to El Capitan State Beach for “The Frisco Kid.” The many places that are discussed are generally interesting in and of themselves, Hollywood aside. I certainly wasn’t familiar with all the films mentioned here, especially the older ones, but the descriptions of the various destination points, supported by hand drawn maps and photographs, have piqued my interest to get out and explore some of the more obscure and overlooked spots around our state.

Television Without Pity: 752 Things We Love to Hate (and Hate to Love) About TV by Tara Ariano and Sarah D. Bunting

I am a self-proclaimed pop culture junkie (and anyone who has ever met me will back up that statement); I once had a friend tell me that the amount of information I had about television made his eyes bleed. That being said, it is only natural that this book would be for me. However, it is not just for the TV obsessed, but also for those who may not know a whole lot about television or its influence over culture and society. This is a vast resource: a reference guide that is a great study tool to understand why we are the way we are (and why our kids or parents are the way they are– and yes, even to understand some catchphrases they may use that until now escaped us).

There are the typical mentions within this book: Friends, The Brady Bunch, Mark Burnett– and though I don’t always agree with every judgement made (Personally I feel Lucille Ball. WAS. Funny.)– I always get a good laugh out of reading them. And occasionally there’s even something thrown in that I had forgotten about (Grape Ape, anyone?) or something that evokes strong nostalgia and brings fond memories of my childhood (Charles in Charge, Reading Rainbow, etc)

The women that wrote this book are contributing writers to Television Without Pity, a website that provides hysterical and dead-on recaps of popular television shows currently on the air. Therefore, their area of expertise is narrowly focused to television. If they were to expand, to cover music, specialty categories in film, or even sports, they could revolutionize the media. I know I for one could use their aid with studying for the VH1 World Series of Pop Culture, and this book is a great way to start.

I can across the website Televsion without Pity by accident in the summer of 2005 while looking for a way to catch up on missed episode from season one of “Veronica Mars”. Needless to say I have be a loyal recap reader ever since with nearly a dozen shows I read up on each week. I am also a loyal reader of “The Vine”, the advise column on Sars’ website, Tomato Nation. When I heard there was going to be a book, I pre-ordered it as fast as I could. And then I spend a good part of Wenesday night reading it between commercials and was up until quarter of 12:00 compusivly reading page after page, entry after entry, soaking up all of the snarky goodness enclosed in the brilliant book. SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!! If I could give it more stars i would, but 5 will have to suffice for now. I hope they come out with another one soon, but until then I will have to be content with reading this over and over and over and over…
