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

Book Review: 5 is for the laughs I had with this book....
Summary: 5 Stars

With tongue in cheek, she says all the things we say (that's the fairer sex) when we are out with girlfriends drinking margaritas (I date myself, if I were under 35, it would be cosmopolitans!). It is, and I quote, "her intention to offer women inspiration, wit and tools for intelligent resistance"..... to all the wacky things we are supposed to be and think and do because.... we are broads.

She inspires us while giving us inside information to philosophy passed down from her old grandma. Most of the inspiration and grandma's sayings far surpass the advice you will get from the "health and well being" or "feminist" magazines that exist today.

Here are my favorite takeaways from the book, in no particular order:

1.The term "Smartmouth Goddess" (SG) - what we all would like to be. We ARE SG's, deep in our inner thoughts, but our need to "build relationships" keeps us from spewing.

2. Advice on friends: "Friends shouldn't be treated as leftovers".

3. Advice on good habits to adopt from men: "Men do not schlepp."

3. Advice on family: "Regard your family as a source of popular entertainment- distance yourself from their neuroses by pretending they're on television".

Gilman combines her knack for turning a phrase and cynical humor with a little political agenda, sex and Biblical references thrown in for good measure.

Read it when your husband is out of town!
