"Women are like snowflakes - there aren't two in the world that are exactly alike" says Arlene Dahl, Internationally known film star and one of the world's loveliest women ~ from inside of the jacket
So, I have an odd obsession with vintage beauty books. I have quite a collection but this is one of my favorites because it's premise is basically to help you become more attractive to find a man. This advice comes from Arlene Dahl. Who, although beautiful, is currently working on her sixth husband. So apparently she could coach you to get a man but keeping them around may require a different book!
While I do happen to have a man I thought it would be fun to go through these books one at a time a chapter at a time and try most the things they suggest and document the results in this blog. Though I will tell you now I am not eating tongue as she suggests as part of her diet in her "Slim down ~ Measure up" chapter. I don't care if she says it's Sophia Loren's diet. Not going to happen!
The book was published in 1965.
Dear Reader,
I like men. And i like men to like me so I dress for them.
This I used to consider the normal attitude and approach, one I shared with all women.
Then not long ago a survey showed me the average woman doesn't dress to please men at all! She dresses to please herself or other women....
That fact shocked me into writing this book, "Always Ask a Man".
Most women love to be beautiful (at least the ones who right me for advice do) Millions of dollars, the statisticians tell us are spent yearly at beauty salons, cosmetics counters, gymnasiums and dress shops in women's quest for beauty. But beauty for whom? The girls in the office? The women at the club? How can the world progress if women don't consider men...the Man...first?
I do not believe there is a woman alive who can't achieve some degree of beauty.But comparatively few reach their potential. As a photographer's model and actress, I have learned to make the most of my physical assets. As a beauty columnist, I constantly seek , wherever I travel, new beauty techniques to share with my readers, A lot of talented people have taught me tricks and shared their ideas....and I am eager to pass them on to you.
But before you whittle down your waistline, whip up a new hairdo, or wield a lipstick brush, you must come to the basic understanding as to why you want to be beautiful.
This book is not intended for women who want to be beautiful for beauty's sake. Such beauty serves no purpose....other then self-satisfaction, if that can be considered a purpose. But if you are a women who loves to be beautiful for and be loved by a man, I believe this book can help you.
Whether you are a student, house wife, mother, working girl,or business women, to me your only role that really counts is that of being a exciting feminine women.
yours for beauty,
