"Why go through life unnoticed?"
Bomb-shell -
n. 1. a shocking surprise
In the 1950’s and 1960’s bombshell’s were known for their physical beauty. However today, the bombshell is back and she is better than ever. She is nothing like any generation that has gone before.
A bombshell honors and respects her physical self and the image she portrays to the world but she is not obsessed with it. She wants to look as good as she feels. She is passionate, strong in her convictions, intelligent, confident, courageous, loyal, spiritual, compassionate, and generous. She intrigues everyone who meets her and her enthusiasm for life is contagious. She inspires others to live life to the fullest!

Chatter: Media: Poof!
Big hair’s local roots
By Christy Speer
Contrary to popular opinion, Snooki did not bring back the poof, that retro, pumped-up hill of a hairstyle that's everywhere right now. No, for that we can thank Brookhaven native Suzanne Martinelli, whose company, Bombshell Beauty, released the "Pouf" back in 2005 — pre-Mad Men bouffants, pre-Jersey Shore and, yes, pre-Bumpit. Martinelli, 46, worked in marketing — not hairstyling — when she dreamed up the combs attached to "enhancers" about the size of a spool of thread, covered in fibers colored to match your curls. Hair's teased up; the Pouf is affixed beneath; and voilà! Big hair — and big business.
Bombshell's Poufs and Sure Grip Velcro rollers sell in CVS, Walgreens and Ulta under the Sassoon label, and stylist Jessica Steele, Martinelli's business cohort, uses them on that high-hair queen, Sarah Palin. So did it hurt when Snooki got credit for the uprising? "We just cringed," Martinelli says. "That's not what we are! But she's got better PR."
Hair Poufs Featured in Celebrity Hairstyles
Bombshell Beauty's Hair Poufs have been featured in an issue of Celebrity Hairstyles!
Over-the-top volume is a look that can be tricky to emulate using the traditional hair "rats" that you can buy in beauty supply stores. Now, there's Vidal Sassoon Hair Poufs ($9.99), which are rats with a clip attached. Just attach the Pouf and smooth your own hair over it – no more having to whip out your compact, teasing comb and hairspray throughout the night.
