The $100 Pin Up Diet – HOW NAUGHTY PIN UP GIRLS STAY THIN

Are you one of those girls who love to enjoy the fruits of life? A girl that wants to live, be well, have a good time and still be thin? Well, believe it or not, from the other diets that you have read about or tried, there is a way. You can still eat those decadent foods, have your cocktails and still have a fantastic body that you will be proud of (and others will be envious!) I will show you how non-traditional pin-up girls have their champagne and cake and eat it too.

Literally, the shapely pinup girls of yesteryear didn’t have technology or diet drinks, but still they knew how to lose weight fast and look svelte and foxier than the average girl. “The $100 Diet – How Naughty Pin Up Girls Stay Thin” is a personal account of trying every diet from macrobiotic to high protein to low carb diets and finally figuring it out for myself. From realistic exercise plans and regimes, to “on-day” and “off-day” meal plans, this mini-book will lead you to the road of looking and feeling like the hot girl you always knew was inside.

Retro Hair styles are back! If you have not noticed,  a return is happening to the Retro hairstyle look of the past. Lets take Marilyn Monroe as an example. Marilyn Monroe, actually wore what is called a graduated bob hair style, that was anywhere between jaw level and shoulder length.  The 2008 version has longer layers with fringe in the front and shorter layers in the back.  Although Marilyn Monroe’s hair was roller set, it can be worn smooth, even straightened, or wavy and tousled.  One of the reasons we are seeing a repeat of this hair style I believe, is that medium length hair styles can be quicker and easier to care for than long hair styles and more versatile than most short hair styles.

Marilyn Monroe and her hair stylist tried 9 different shades of blonde before settling on her famous platinum blonde.  It is not recommended trying 9 different shades of any hair color.  If you are curious about trying anything drastic, there are some online hair style programs (like Barb’s customized virtual hair style makeover) that allow you to try different hair colors and hair styles on your image.  It’s much safer for your hair and a lot of fun too!
