Since November 2009Chick Flick Tuesday: LBD Style!
Posted on Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 by LeahThis week we’re doing things a little differently with our Chick Flick Tuesday. In honour of Little Black Dress week I’ve picked three Little Black Dress books that I think would make very good movies! Enjoy!
Just Look At Me Now by Nell Dixon (I like make-over books and movies and this one would work really well.)
Tia’s top beauty tip: apply heavy make-up carefully to prevent any cracks from showing…Life is fabulous for Tia Carpenter. She has it all, money, looks, a great job as the beauty expert at stylish Platinum magazine and, at last, the attention of her unrequited high school love, Josh Banks. But Tia has a secret — back at school she was Barbara Baker, overweight, crooked teeth, frizzy hair and no fashion sense. Cosmetic dentistry, losing seven stones in weight and a complete makeover later, Tia has successfully erased her past life as Big Barb, tub of lard, until the day Juliet Gold, the bane of her teenage existence, arrives to work at the magazine. Juliet always got everything she ever wanted, and now she wants both Tia’s job and Josh. Tia will have to use every makeover trick she’s ever learned to stop Juliet from uncovering her past and stealing her man.
Honey Trap by Julie Cohe
n (I’ve never actually seen someone who’s a honey trap in a movie so that’s why I chose this one!)
Private investigator Sophie Tennant has realised knowing everyone’s dirty little secrets isn’t that much fun. Retraining as an aromatherapist should rebalance her karma — or so she thinks, until she goes on tour as resident de-stresser with a rock band whose moody, magnetic frontman Dominick Steele is none other than her very first honey trap. Yes, the man she pretended to seduce in order to shop the evidence to his broken-hearted wife, spelling the end of their marriage. Dominic may be a reformed character these days, but Sophie hasn’t forgotten the games he used to play! and he certainly remembers Sophie. A little bit too well!
Confe
ssions of an Air Hostess by Marisa Mackle (I loved this book and it would be a fab rom-com).
Poor Annie. Dumped by her boyfriend via text this morning while en route to the airport, she can think of better things to do than stand on a plane demonstrating emergency procedure and pointing out low-level lighting to hundreds of uninterested passengers. But what’s a cabin-crew gal to do when her love life hits turbulence? Annie bravely resolves to keep smiling through her fake tan — while there’s still a plane to catch, there’s still pastures new to discover. And one of these days she’s sure to really meet Mr Right. Isn’t she? A great love story and a fantastic, loveable heroine combine to make this a romantic novel that’s simply not to be missed.

Chick Flick Tuesday highlights the best chick flicks in the movie world as well as bringing you news on upcoming chick flick releases as well as letting you all know about which chick lit books are being made into chick flick movies!
“With Love Actually, Curtis orchestrates a minor miracle of romantic choreography, guiding a brilliant cast of stars and newcomers as they careen toward love and holiday cheer in London, among them the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who’s smitten with his caterer (Martine McCutcheon); a widower (Liam Neeson) whose young son nurses the ultimate schoolboy crush; a writer (Colin Firth) who falls for his Portuguese housekeeper; a devoted wife and mother (Emma Thompson) coping with her potentially unfaithful husband (Alan Rickman); and a lovelorn American (Laura Linney) who’s desperately attracted to a colleague. There’s more-too much more-as Curtis wraps his Christmas gift with enough happy endings to sweeten a dozen other movies.”
Adam’s falling in love with her despite the problems makes this movie a must-see, and is perfect for rom-com fans!
