Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra has a guaranteed spot on all bombshell bookshelves, as does Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and the always classic Pat the Bunny. These women know about art, favouring Vincent van Gogh over any and all surrealists. Glenn Miller's In the Mood and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture are the soundtracks of their lives.
Bombshells are spontaneous, generous and emotional.
They buck the trends, sending a telegram instead of an e-mail and they carry Chiclets in their pocketbooks instead of Altoids. They love animals. And, of course, they are always the most stylish women in the room. Stover traces her fascination with bombshells to her youth, when her grandmother told her that men love polka dots and bought her a pair of high heels. But she became reacquainted with bombshells and their impeccable sense of style while working at Manhattan's tony Bergdorf Goodman.
