Ok, granted it doesn’t take much to make a woman look like Wonder Woman, but not all women can pull it off.  You need to be tall, statuesque, long wavy dark hair, preferably black, and look like a total goddess and it helps if she can throw a punch. And wear high heeled boots too.

Books I Always Wanted To Read But Never Got Around To Reading… ’till Now.
