ABOUT THE BOOK
Climbing Mountains in Stilettos is your
rulebook for throwing prim, proper and powerless out the window and letting
your inner bad girl take the world by storm. It's a trail guide to a new you
for women who are sick and tired of the worn out paths tread by good gilrs
in flats and want to live by their own rules.
What is a Bad Girl exactly?
Well, she's not what the movie titles and song lyrics say
she is. You know what we're talking about, don't you? “Bad girls” in movies
and songs are prostitutes. And we sure as hell aren't going to teach you how
to be prostitutes. We'd like to take this phrase and put a positive spin on
it. After all, “bad boys” conjures up a positive image for most of us. It
doesn't refer to gigolos; it refers to guys who are fun, adventurous, and
usually devilishly handsome. Sure, these “boys” might get into a little
trouble but it's usually not illegal. We all love a bad boy, don't we?
With inspiration from the baddest bad girls past and present and great advice from women
who've been there, Climbing
Mountains in Stilettos will help you banish your fear of heights, get in
touch with your better and badder side and conquer life's trails in your
favorite pair of heels-practical or not.
