Party Fabulous: 12 Parties to Change the World
Review Date: 5/5/2007


"An outrageously fun collaborative of two gay men and a straight woman. You'll find recipes, games, cocktails, invitations, music and crafts for a variety of gatherings from a "We've Only Just Begun" Valentine's Day Fantasy for Two to a "Don't Rain on My Parade" Easter Pajama Brunch for Twelve, or a Night at Studio 54 party for sixty. The Mother's Day Group Therapy Party is particularly sassy and entertaining to read if not to throw."

"I loved this book. It's an irreverent yet practical take on parenting young children. The author emphasizes maintaining sanity while living in a world of Barney the purple dinosaur by recognizing that you're raising future adults and stressing the need to maintain an adult life. When it seems the whole world is instructing you to shower your beautiful baby with repetitive knick knack paddywack songs until you can't dream without this old man strolling through your head, Mellor suggests a selection of child-friendly adult music from bluegrass to beatles to opera. A sassy and fun read for the new parent and single hipster alike."

"This was one of my first singing lesson books as a young soprano. It has a number of tools for the English speaker to express an Italian song, including translation and background of the song as well as the source and poetic idea of the song."
