Great funny read by a newpaper columnist that writes for the Sun Times in Myrtle Beach, SC. She tells it like it is. If her column is half as funny as this book, then the paper is a hit too!! I read this one first, but I've gotten her first book and it's near the top of my TBR Pile!! Actual laugh out loud moments explaining and justifying the Southern Redneck Way of Life. And, footnote on that, I'm Southern by choice - not by birth - and it's the best move I've ever made!!

This is so funny that I may have to keep it. Celia writes a column for the Myrtle Beach newpaper and you can read more of her stunny southern wit on their website. Being a bit of a bitchy southern girl myself, I laugh outloud everytime I pick something of hers up. Read it and then call your best friend and read her excerpts, you'll find yourself snorting outloud just trying to read it to someone else :)

This book has laugh-out-loud moments in every chapter. As soon as I finished I passed it along to my South Carolina friend and she's also loving it.

Collection of humorous essays concerning life in the South. I caught myself laughing out loud several times while reading this book.

Funny, sweet, strong and slightly outrageous - like many Southern women that I have known!

Funny book!

I really loved this book. couldn't stop laughing!

Extremely funny!!! Southern women will roll in the floor laughing at Rivenbark's humorous stories!

Not as good as Stop Dressing...but funny still. Worth reading but don't miss Stop Dressing- you'll laugh all day long!

While this precursor to "Stop Dressing Your Six-Year-Old Like a Skank" is not as funny as that title, there are still many snort-worthy, laugh-out-loud moments in this book. Her take on our modern society is dead-on accurate. What makes her writing so good is that you really want to be this woman's friend. At least, I do. Hanging out drinking sweet tea with Celia while she clues this Yankee in to the cultural minutiae of Southern life? You bet. Sign me up.

A very enjoyable read. As a southerner, I can identify with some of the stories in this book. You will laugh when reading the book.

I would like to keep this book because I think I could read it over and over. But I will pass it on because I want more people to enjoy it. Every chapter was laugh out loud funny. Real women funny. I toally recommend it. I will definately be reading anything else Celia Rivenbark writes.

Short stories that make you laugh.

A light, funny read

Very, very funny!

Celia's hilarious and this book is a great example of just how funny she really is. You really gotta read it!

This was a fun, fast read. Very entertaining.

Cute summer read....funny.
