Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna, author of “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,” and Liz Adams, the book’s illustrator, will be hosting two book signings/art exhibits in August to celebrate the book’s Aug. 5 release via Simon & Schuster’s Simon Spotlight Entertainment.
The first signing will be Saturday, Aug. 9 from 3-7 p.m. at La Luz de Jesus in Hollywood, with the second following Saturday, Aug. 16, 2-7 p.m. at Billy Shire Fine Arts in Culver City, CA. Borzillo-Vrenna and Adams will be on hand to sign books that guests buy at either venue, and Adams will have a display of some of her artwork from the book and from her own repertoire.
Expected guests to the events include some of the book’s contributors, including the Runaways Cherie Currie, Berlin’s Terri Nunn, Peaches’ Samantha Maloney, singer/artist Jessicka, and others.
“Cherry Bomb” is an A to Z girl guide with a rock and roll twist on everything an edgy girl needs to know – from 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). The book features contributions from some of the writer’s favorite rocking chicks, including Dita Von Teese, Kat Von D., Tori Amos, Cherie Currie of the Runaways, Terri Nunn of Berlin, Lisa Loeb, Katy Perry, Samantha Maloney of Peaches, Betsey Johnson, Anna Sui, Christian Joy, Tera Patrick, Joanna Angel, and others.

Thanks for the good news Wasted! I wish I could be there! Here are a few more details, I picked up about the book! CHERRY BOMB is described as an A-to-Z reference for 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). When the book is released this August 5, here is a list of those who you can also expect to get some fun tips from… -- Cherie Currie of THE RUNAWAYS (on “Cherry Bomb,” the song that influenced the book) -- Tori Amos (Life Advice) -- Dita Von Teese (Striptease) -- Betsey Johnson (Breast Cancer Awareness and Personal Style) -- Dancing with the Stars’ Cheryl Burke (Dancing Tips) -- Samantha Maloney of PEACHES (Drum Lesson) -- Katy Perry (Vintage Shopping) -- Lisa Loeb (How To Be a Great Hostess) -- Jessicka of SCARLING/JACK OFF JILL (Starting a Band) -- American Idol makeup artist Mezhgan (Beauty) -- Stylist Cynthia Freund (Rock Chick Style Tips) -- Anna Sui (Fashion Inspiration) -- Kat Von D (Tattoos) -- Master Chef Dave Rubell (Black Vodka Recipes) -- Berlin’s Terri Nunn (Dating, Doing it & Dumping) -- The Viper Room’s Melissa Renee Hernandez and Anna Geyer (Bouncers, Jobs) -- Christian Joy (Fashion Inspiration) -- Veruca Salt’s Louise Post (Sobriety) -- Dr. Ava Cadell (Orgazms) -- Tera Patrick (Menage a Trois) -- Joanna Angel (X-rated movies) -- Imogen Heap (Individuality) -- Hairstylist Dean Banowetz (Rockin’ Up ‘Dos) -- NicoleLee/SuicideGirls.com (Piercings) -- Pink Cheeks’ Cynthia Esser-Thorin (Waxing Tips) Sounds like a real page turner for sure!

I hope I'm not repeating something that has been posted here already; please excuse me if this is a repeat.
This weekend I was perusing a fashion supplement that came with Details magazine (I got it free from Coke rewards). Anyhow, I'm flipping through the pages and about a quarter of the way in is a two (2) page spread on Joan called "How I Got My Look". There was also a small sphiel on the bottom about this Cherry Bomb book and several mentions of Cherie too. Joan also stated in her interview about how Cherie changed costumes sometimes four (4) times during a show and about the corset, etc. There is one larger picture of Joan from the '80s and a smaller picture circa late '70's I'd say, and a great write up in Joan's words about the whole Glam to Punk thing and going to England and experiencing Punk for the first time.
BTW, the piece on Joan was one of the only two (2) page features; everybody else only got a page at best. This is the September (Fall) issue and it's in a seperate supplement to the magazine called Fashion Rocks I think. There is a TV special on CBS apparently coming in early September.
