Kiss My Tiara: How to Rule the World as a SmartMouth Goddess

This book made me giggle. It had some great lines like "Schlepping is not a source of female empowerment. We can't be liberated if we're bogged down with crappola 24/7" and some great chapter titles like "We Don't Shape History by Shaping Our Thighs"

Overall it's amusing, but sometimes the writer did too much explaining rather than let her anecdotes do the talking.

Practical readings and REAL grandmotherly advice about what really counts for the women who thought The Rules was written as a joke.

All in all, very good advice and some provocative insights to mull over, but it's very hard to get past the author referring to people as "my girl." It's not becoming of . . . really anyone. It should be abolished.

This is not your "down with men" feminist manifesto. This is a thinking woman's guide to how to live your life better. I recommend this for every woman I know. Smart, sassy, and too funny.

Ugh. I wanted more of the enchanting humor rollicking through "Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress," so I went back and bought Gilman's first effort, "Kiss My Tiara." Boy, was I disappointed. Gilman gets on her poorly constructed soapbox and proceeds to try waaaay too hard to be funny and sassy, but comes off as a poor imitation of a Sweet Potato Queen.
It's obvious Gilman improved by leaps and bounds with her second effort, so I can't wait to see what's next!

This has SOME GREAT talk in about not setting the expectation of always needing a man to feel like a woman and about growing up and living single

A great strong woman, kick-butt, feel good book, containing shocking quotes from grandma such as 'If God didn't want us to masterbate he would have made our arms shorter' It's true if you think about it. It's a good book to cheer you up and bolster your spirits
