Book Reviews of You Say I'm a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing

Book Review: Side-Splittingly Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars

A few months ago, my husband and I were in a chain bookstore. I don't know who picked up this gem first (I think it was him!), but next thing you know, we were flipping through the pages and laughing our butts off! I was laughing so hard I had to walk away...and then came back for more. Honest to God, I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to black out.

Why I didn't buy it at the time is beyond me.

So Christmas rolls around and I happen to be in this same bookstore (one that's inside a mall I don't visit on a regular basis). Remembering our guffaws, I say to my husband "Let's get that book!" He downplays the search for some reason and I finally ask a clerk to help me. He found me a copy!

Well, it turned out that my husband JUST bought me this gem at another store a few minutes before! (Which is why he was trying to be nonchalant.)

What I didn't realize the first time I saw You Say I'm a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing was that it was a spiral book that you can set on a desk or table top. How cool! You can then display a "phrase of the day".

Here are a but a few of my favorites:

*A Clean House is a Sign of a Wasted Life (A smiling woman in a dress is on her hands and knees scrubbing the tub)

*Give the Dangerous Bitch Her Chocolate (A woman looking longingly at a box of chocolates while a man looks longingly at HER)

*Amazingly Enough, I Don't Give a Shit (A woman in a gingham dress looks at you with arched eyebrows)

*Queen of F****** Everything (Elegant woman lounging on a bed)

*Admitting You're an A**hole is the First Step (One woman looking at a guy while the other woman winks)

*I Gave Up Jogging Because My Thighs Kept Rubbing Together and Setting My Pantyhose on Fire (An elegant woman in gloves and necklace)

*Easy There, Mr. Testosterone--You Can Be Replaced By a Zucchini (Woman being kissed on the cheek by an amorous man)

*Mommy, When I Grow Up I want to Help Smash the White Racist, Homophobic, Patriarchal, Bullsh** Paradigm, Too! (Smiling girl with blonde curls and bright blue eyes)

The pictures are beautifully retro and some of them feature great sight gags. For example, there's a woman holding a toddler in her lap and she's giving the middle finger. The caption says "Just Because I'm a Mom Doesn't Mean I Care".

If you're prudish, you'll not like You Say I'm a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing. If you're thinking of giving this as a gift to a prude, don't--it will be wasted on them. But if you like sassy, snarky humor--especially in the guise of 50's "Leave it to Beaver" faux perfection--this is a hilarious offering.

By the way, ask me about a fabulous career in bitching. *grin*
