I gave some tips on how to attract, seduce, and understand a "bloke from Blighty" (translation: British man) to my pal Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna for her new book 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.
The A-to-Z reference book with a rock n' roll attitude promises to impart "everything awesome a girl needs to know, including the obvious (style, beauty, dating, and sex tips) and the not-so-obvious (how to prepare absinthe, how to sneak backstage, how to hit on a celebrity)." It includes contributions from Tori Amos (life advice), Dita Von Teese (striptease), Betsey Johnson (breast cancer awareness and personal style), Katy Perry (vintage shopping), Lisa Loeb (how to be a great hostess), Anna Sui (fashion inspiration), Berlin's Terri Nunn (dating, doing it & dumping), and Imogen Heap (individuality), among others. Published by Simon & Schuster's youthful boutique imprint Simon Spotlight Entertainment, the essential tome will hit bookstores on Aug 5th.

In somewhat related news, we were amused to hear that gaffe-prone Brit bloke Prince Charles inadvertently invited burlesque striptease artist Dita Von Teese to do her thing at his son's 24th birthday bash. Apparently Charles was introduced to Dita at a polo tournament at the rather regal Guards Club in Windsor. When the heir to the English throne asked her what she did, she tactfully replied that she was a dancer, at which point Charles eagerly extended an invitation to the somewhat bemused Dita to entertain his youngest son Prince Harry at the swanky party he was planning in September. An insider told English "newspaper" the Daily Star that an embarrassed Charles "gnawed his fist to within an inch of its knuckle when his aides explained what sort of dancing she did for a living." We're sure that Harry and his pals will now be eagerly awaiting the big day however. In the meantime, though not a chick, we feel that Charles could perhaps learn a thing or two about avoiding such potentially sticky situations by taking note of the rock n' roll wisdom in Cherry Bomb.
