As a young woman, how do you present yourself to the world? Does your dress and style rival
celebrities’ sordid photos? Or do you strive to look and act with grace and class? In How To Be
a Hepburn in a Hilton World, author Jordan Christy provides tips on how to return to a more
elegant time, when women behaved with morality and class.
If you look at the biggest headlines, stories of sex and immorality top the list. It seems
we’ve forgotten how to be classy and refined. If you’re attention-seeking, you might think you
need to top the most outrageous women. Don’t get caught up in the lights and parties. Sans-panty
women may get temporary attention, but they miss out on good jobs, good men, and self-respect.
How would you rate your image? Are you an elegant Hepburn? Or are you more like the flaky,
half-dressed Hilton? Find out in a five question "Hepburn Guide to Self-Respect Quiz," as you
answer questions about what you’d wear to a girls’ night out, your behavior on an important job
interview, and the celebrity you most admire. Christy also dishes fashion advice after a style
quiz to find out if you’re a trendsetter, sporty, classic, rock ‘n roll, sweet, or bohemian.
Once you’ve defined your style, you can refine it with tips on what pieces to keep and what to
toss. No matter what your style, always dress your best and wear clothes that fit you. Modesty
isn’t old-fashioned and boring; it’s about preventing wardrobe malfunctions and maintaining a
respectful image.
Christy knows how to transform someone into a "whole" package; she works with celebrities
and artists as a publicist for Warner Bros. Records. She also has written for fashion magazines.
Short, fun quizzes and real-life examples pepper humorously titled chapters, like Keep Your Chin
Up and Your Skirt Down, Use Some Elbow Grease, Let Him Come Calling, and Less is More. Christy
demonstrates that stylish women are smart and classy. While her focus is on young women, she
feels all women should take a stand and improve women’s image. For readers who shake their
heads at the immoral and ignorant, How To Be A Hepburn in A Hilton World will be a
refreshing read.
