Lisa Taggart

In this outrageous collection of laugh-out-loud essays, nothing is sacred and no horror story goes untold, Brazilian bikini waxes, nursing nightmares, boob jobs, jiggly thighs, overzealous sweat glands, and pure, shameless vanity-it's all here in these brazenly honest tales, from twenty-one hilarious writers who've survived it all and have the stretch marks to prove it. We all know we worry about our looks too much, but who wants to admit it? These women do, and they tell the unflinching uproarious truth about our bodies, and the tragicomic relationships we women have with them. Reading these essays is like having a girls' night out with your best friends-only much, much funnier, and without the hangover the next day. Book jacket.
