Summary: Not at all worth the money...
Review: Looking at all these rave reviews, I was shocked. Did I read the same book? Physically, the book is fantastic. It's colorful, interactive, and has great illustrations. Where it falls down is content - really the most important part of any book. This should really be called 'The Autobiography of a Failed Actress'. Jennifur Brandt's ideas of what is hip are stuck in the mid 1980's and every page seems to start with the words, "I do this...I wear this...I am this...and by the way, I'm married to John Cusak." Really a very disappointing book!

Summary: Ok is there any question on the greatness of this book???
Review: Ok first I want to say that I understand everyone has their own opinions and I dont want to be rude but I totally disagree with miss thang Dena Martin!!! I mean I looked at your other reviews and do u like anything??? I mean Jennifur is not here to please anyone!!! She is a writer and wonderful person with great talent and a great take on life. She doesnt want girls to be her carbon copy as you could tell from her book. She wants girls to be themsleves and sometimes that takes encouraging.... Jennifur is willing to help all girlkind!!! And I think most people would appreciate that. I loved the book as you can probobly tell by my defense for Miss Brandt. I want to get this book for all my gal pals. Its given me self confidence and a little spunk!!! Which hasnt hurt any gurrls yet!!! I dont care if you love or hate this book but I recommend it!!! Girls any age... geez i mean my grandma wants to read it next, that is once my mom is finished with it!!! :-) Rock on Jennifur!!!

Summary: THE BEST BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Okay, i REALLY loved this book! It taught me to be myself, not to act like everyone else around me, and to be who I want to be!! It makes you feel good about yourself, no matter what kind of person you are. This is a great book, i recommend it for anyone who is feeling doubtful about themselves!!! P.S. o, and if Jennifur is reading this, WRITE ANOTHER BOOK!!!!!! PLEASE?!

Summary: Life is a Movie Starring You
Review: Rejoice, bored gals of America! Jennifur Brandt is here to make every day a glamorous one and to banish the word bored from your vocab. Founder and editor of the popular 'zine, Pesky Meddling Girls, Jennifur has collected all her best beauty, decorating and crush tips into one swank volume. Twenty-something herself, Jennifur understands that twelve- to twenty-one-year-old gals crave sisterly, loving advice while they ponder the mysteries of their own lives and minds (and parents!). She is here to help every reader get motivated and change her situation in positive ways. You're the main attraction in this movie; you are the writer and the director. And the wardrobe mistress, and the set painter...
Feel flummoxed on how to make the move to rad femaleness? These pink, yellow and blue pages are bursting with the info you need. Begin by sending "Like" and "You Know" and non-pesky curse words to the recycle bin. Jennifur has invented a very cool brand of lingo, mixing street and teen speak with the kooky/fancy stylings of Old Hollywood movies. She is also a big advocate of the vintage-plus-new-genre of make-up and clothing and she includes absolutely adorable paper dolls of herself and her lil' sis in their favorite gear.
Now, don't think Jennifur is just some know-it-all trying to tell you how to do it her way. The book is less advice column, more workbook. Jennifur knows what questions to ask to get you writing, journal style. For instance, before she even gets into what to wear and how to wear it, she includes a page for you to fill in answers to queries like "List the things about your body that you know are totally cute."
She also supplies a ton of lists: books for glamour queens, groovy movies, fascinating women, and what to listen to while you are making yourself look like a real kitten are just a few of them.
I'm gushing a tad here, but I really love this book. It gave me lots of ideas on how to improve my already pretty fantabulous life. Still not convinced? What if I told you that Jennifur has serious cred in the entertainment and fashion world? She is currently in the process of developing a pilot with Warner Brothers, she had a tres cute cameo as "Nosejob Girl" in the film Clueless and designed a shoe campaign for shoe maven Steve Madden. Jennifur also went bi-coastal, doing work for Anna Sui --- whom she interviews at length in this book --- and she also can count Drew Barrymore among her reviewers and close friends. This girl has brains, crazy creative ways, heart, and moxie.
It's time for every gal to join Jennifur and don a tiara, sparkly pink lip gloss, and a confident smile while waving to their multitude of fans (even the imaginary ones).
