So, you've heard the Bowling For Soup track and you want to be Nona? Well, here's a step-by-step guide to be the girl all the bad guys want.

  1. If you're a simple small-town girl, whose parents won't find it appropriate for you to bring home biker-dudes and minor criminals, don't try to be this girl. You can be similar, but remember. Be safe!
    • There’s nothing wrong with bad boys so long as you’re into them because they’re assertive and honest. Don’t go out of your way to be around dangerous guys, though.
  2. You need a sexy/punk/rock look to pull off 'Nona'. You need old school band t-shirts (make sure these are tight, no big extra large ones that you'd sleep in). Wear interesting clothes, be daring with your choices. High heels are great, so long as you can walk in them. But you can make combat boots part of your look (Uggs and sneakers are a no-no). Wear mostly blacks and reds, they're the sexy colors. Don't go with short skirts very often. Interesting skinny jeans are cool. Do not go too Gothic with this, no antique-y large skirts. Do not go too Avril Lavigne, no baggy trousers and ties. Do not go TOWIE, you aren't rocker with that.

  3. Straightened, or the 'I just rolled out of bed' waves are sexy. Try to get rid of messy curls. Don't go too flashy with the colors either. Keep it in the kind of natural colors (black, brown, blonde, and you can be sexy with ginger), you can add a couple streaks to make it interesting. A bright 'Gerard Way' red can work too, but mostly, stay away from anything that makes you look like real-life anime.
  4. No dark tanned skin, unless it's natural. Keep your foundation light (cover up freckles, you don't want a young face). Dark eyes (don't go total Taylor Momsen, too emo-chick) and sometimes if you can pull off bright or dark red lipstick it can be sexy. (If you go with red lipstick, make sure your teeth are white. Nothing sicker than pale skin, red lips and sick yellow chompers).
  5. If you have ten facial piercings, you aren't sexy. You're scary. Bad guys aren't into metallic faces. You can even pass with none, but one nose ring or lip ring or belly button ring (if you're going for a belly top look) is good. (If you really don't want to pierce yourself, but want to be identical to Nona in the song, a fake piercing is okay).
  6. Keep your posture tall. Be confident.
  7. Don't have only one group of friends. Kind of float along through life. Don't talk about loads of people. Girls can be mean, don't give them a reason to hate you
  8. The ones with the longish hair and the band t-shirts. The clothes with the chains. Of course, don't try looking around for guys just because they fit the category. Flirt with the ones you are a bit interested in at least. Do not go for anyone outside of this type. You have to give up being a nice, friendly girl and just practically ignore other guys. If a jockey sort of guy goes out with you, you'll become the slut. A nerd, you lose all your reputation. The rock ones keep to themselves.
  9. Flirt . If you want to be her, confidence is the key. You have to initiate if they don't. Be mysterious in the flirting. Go up to a potential guy and compliment him on his look. Don't hesitate if he has friends around. If you compliment him on his bad boy look or reputation and his friends are around, people are immediately aware that you are the girl who wants the bad guys. Don't be afraid, (if he seems comfortable of course) to go to touch. Speak slowly, softly, seductively, and try to make your voice a bit deeper. Don't grin so much, a small lip smile works. Your EYES are the real tool. Let your eyes look interested. Try to make it look like you are cunning, dart your eyes around his face a bit and maybe raise an eyebrow in a curious or suggestive fashion (practice in a mirror saying things you want to say with your facial expression). Conversationally try to be suggestive. Try to make things into innuendos. Don't giggle. Laugh softly and give a smile. Try to keep eye contact. Don't let conversations draw out. You'll lose your mystique. And when leaving, don't give a long, fast answer as to why you're leaving. Just say, 'I gotta go' or something to that effect, and leave quickly (don't run or fast walk). Just maybe long strides and a swing in your arm. A large flip of the hair is cool too.
  10. Don't be a rock-chick without knowing a thing about rock. Learning a bit about the music that the bad boys are into and it'll really help. You should say 'Oh, you like that band? I think they're awesome', and don't be afraid to ditch the songs themselves and talk about guitars and amps. Learn a bit about motorcycles. A bit about wrestling. That's what will turn the bad guys on. A sexy girl who isn't into the normal stuff.
  11. Don't give anything on the first night. If you have a new look and people hear you've been on a date soon after, already rumors will begin spreading. But you don't want rumors of you hanging with every other guy to be true. And if people ask, be mysterious too. Do something cool on dates too. Rock shows, sports events and hanging around town. Not parks, picnics and cafes. Don't always flirt too. Otherwise, the easy reputation will appear. Be funny and witty. Be easy going, don't be clingy or too clean. You have to be down and dirty and ready for fun. The young, free and relaxed attitude are part of the attraction.

  • Question
    The guy I like is a bad boy, he smiles when I do, and we normally get in trouble together. Should I be bad too?
    Community Answer
    No. It's one thing to have fun together, but it is another to be bad if that is not in your nature. Be yourself. He should like you for you.
  • Question
    What if there are no actual "bad boys" around my school?
    Community Answer
    Well, try looking outside of school, or try to get to know the boys at your school better. Sometimes it's not obvious who the bad boys are, they're usually good at hiding it.
  • Question
    How can I get my crush to like me?
    Community Answer
    Be extra flirty and cute around the boy you have a crush on. Get to know him and do the stuff he likes.

      Tips

      • You want guys to think you're sexy, funny, smart, easy going, hard to get, and different. Focus on these adjectives. You want to be the girl that's one of a kind.
      • If you can skateboard, show off your skills. But don't always. Make your skills kind of the icing on the cake. For example, maybe you start flirting with a guy, and you see his skateboard, you could say, oh you skateboard? I'd love to see sometime. Don't mention your skills until you've seen his, then bust out your skills from nowhere. It looks totally cool.
      • Corsets and clinchers are a great style to adopt if you get sick of band tees.

      Warnings

      • Whatever you do don't become the floozy or the hot head. Remember mysterious, and cool and collected.
      • Be aware that girls can get mean. If you aren't at all like this, and suddenly show up like this to school one day, be aware that girls will talk. But not caring is part of being Nona.
