For the Desperate Housewife... who maybe a little diet ditzy we love the New York Times Best Seller Skinny Bitch. This book is a no-nonsense tough-love guide for savvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous! Written by modelling agent Rory Freedman and model turned nutritionist Kim Barnouin. The president of PETA Ingrid Newkirk says "Skinny Bitch combines a 'take no prisoners' attitude with cogent analysis and scientific proof to make an engaging, wickedly irreverent, and iron-clad case for eating healthfully. If I had it in my power, I'd provide a free copy to every young woman in the developed world; we could then become, instead of the fattest next generation in history, the healthiest." This book will motivate her to start the new year on a Skinny Bitch mission to become a skinny sexy housewife... And everyone knows that a happy wife equals a happy life!
