Jordan Christy

Is it really possible for girls to maintain classic virtues when the news is full of attention seeking behaviour by sad starlets in g-strings, belly rings, shorter than short skirts and rehab? Author Christy abhors the current flock of ‘It Girls’ who are really letting the sisterhood down as ‘embarrassing, flippant and shallow.’ Where are the classy role models, the self-confident and graceful women we want our intelligent young women to emulate? Perhaps they need to look to classy iconic women like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Jackie O. This book includes advice on finding your own glamorous style with tips on professional success and true love. Sections on diet, speech, work ethic, friends, relationships, manners, makeup and fashionable yet modest clothing, are intended to show modern women how they can be beautiful, intelligent and fun whilst retaining values and morals. Christy also stresses the need to find purpose and work hard towards life goals rather then expect to be handed things on a platter. Self-explanatory chapter titles include ‘Keep your chin up and your skirt down,’ ‘let him come calling’ and ‘choose your friends wisely.’ As Christy says, ‘Lets face it – it’s high time some extraordinary young women brought self-respect, intelligence, and true beauty back to the female gender’ (p. 5). Great for teenage girls and their mums too!… (plus d'informations)
