Here’s a snippet of the piece:

“Seven million albums, an ever-expanding empire, buckets of champagne, Cartier watches, piles of spandex and lingerie: this is a dolls life. But amid all the bling, there is another side to the 5 sex kittens of The Pussycat Dolls. Blender peels back the latex for a look behind the scenes at the real dolls: the twice-daily workouts, calorie-calibrated meals and search for spiritual fulfillment (with a guru that gives out hugs), as well as their struggle to achieve solo success.”
