Cherry Bomb!
Cherry Bomb:
The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Flirt, a Tougher Chick, and a Hotter Girlfriend -- and to Living Life Like a Rock Star
This wonderful book came as a gift to me from my good friend Michael McCafferty, who graciously hosted me at his place earlier this month.
Since in my other life I'm also known as "Cherry Bomb," he found it only suiting to have the book waiting for me upon my arrival to his Fun House. How sweet...
Ironically, when I read the title of the book to my friend Sally she said, "You could've written that book!" Which only reinforced the fact that Cherry Bomb is clearly the perfect moniker for more than the reasons of my red hair (Thanks, Robert!).
Although, I have skipped a few chapters that don't necessarily apply to me regarding: Absinthe, Apple Martinis, Bottle Service, and I'll probably be skipping the one on Hangovers as well, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the read, especially the illustrations of the Cherry Bomb character who shows an odd, striking resemblance to me.
Anyway, here are some brief excerpts of a couple favs so far:
This is a hilarous PROS and CONS list on Dating Musicians
[HA! That's awesome!!!]
Chapter: Bitchy Broads
"the first thing you must understand when a broad is bitchy to you is that there is usually three main reasons for her bitchiness:
Anyway, some would argue that I already live life much like a rock star. I can't say that I've really had much trouble in the flirting or being a hot girlfriend department, but a little tip couldn't hurt.
I like to consider myself a pretty independent, tough chick, but who couldn't use being just a little tougher?

Chapter: Bitchy Broads
"the first thing you must understand when a broad is bitchy to you is that there is usually three main reasons for her bitchiness:
- You did something to deserve it, and if so, that's your own fault, so deal with it.
- She is jealous of you, of your man, of your job, or how others like you better than her.
- She is insecure and only feels better when making others feel like shit."
