'DivaGirl's Guide' Sells Out in 24 Hours!

April 16, 2012 - PRLog -- After selling out in 24 hours online at Amazon.com, “The DivaGirl's Guide to Style and Self-Respect” author Cheryl Ann Wadlington has big plans for the national media tour kicks off this week. In honor of the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) Century of the Girl Expo has welcomed Wadlington to join the upcoming “Conversations With A Style Icon” discussion.

The fuchsia-colored, 272-page paperback with an image of a snap in bling-design appropriately carries the phrase, “your pocketbook to success” and has quickly becoming a critical favorite for its wisdom, frank language, humor, and celebrity quotes and anecdotes.

In an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer Fashion Writer Elizabeth Wellington summarized the fashion/beauty journalist's mission: “Prima-diva fashionista Cheryl Ann Wadlington decided it was high time she passed on some of her girly-girl knowledge. So she teamed up with veteran journalist Sonya Beard and wrote a new book, “The DivaGirl's Guide to Style and Self-Respect” (The Elevator Group, $15.95). It's a good fit: If there's anyone today's young stylistas will listen to, it's someone who is thoroughly convinced of her own grandeur.

'I'm unapologetically fabulous,' said Wadlington, CEO of Evoluer House, a local nonprofit that coaches young women on day-to-day life. 'I don't have to make excuses for who I am. It's not up for debate.'”
