Because life is too short to play it safe!
Bohemian Manifesto: A Field Guide to Living on the Edge by Stover, Laren From the author of "The Bombshell Manual of Style" comes a playful exploration of the spirit, creativity, and originality of the Bohemian lifestyle. Loose Cannons: Devastating Dish from the World's Wildest Women by Stephens, Autumn
A companion to Wild Women (80,000 copies sold) and Wild Words from Wild Women (50,000 copies sold), Loose Cannons is sure to liberate your laughter as princesses and prostitutes, satirists and shot putters, literati and glitterati, movie stars and supermodels, radical reformers and race car drivers -- wild women of every stripe -- get to have their say in this exuberant compendium of wicked words. In this delicious and provocative collection of sensational quotes, verbal virtuoso Autumn Stephens shares hundreds of the zingiest one-liners (and okay, some two-liners as well) ever uttered by woman -- plus just the right amount of her own delightfully illuminating commentary. Strong? You bet. Silent? Never. From the notorious fifteenth century widow Lucrezia Borgia ("My husbands have been very unlucky") to her twentieth century soulmate Lorena Bobbitt ("He doesn't wait for me to have an orgasm ... so I pull(ed) back the sheets and then I did it"), no force of nature has ever prevented a fiercely opinionated female from making her point. These flank and feisty females include: Meg Ryan, Mata Hari, Bette Midler, Martina Navritalova, Oprah Winfrey, and Catherine the Great to name just a few. Entertaining, inspiring, and subtly subversive, Loose Cannons showcases female movers and shakers throughout history at their chatty, catty and viciously verbal best! Kiss My Tiara: How to Rule the World as a Smart Mouth Goddess by Gilman, Susan Jane
Kiss My Tiara challenges The Rules and backlash books like In Defense of Modesty. Designed to help women ages 18-35 catch a life, not a husband, it's funny and politically irreverent, with chapters such as "Nevermind a Penis, We'll Take a Paycheck" and "How to Deal With Lunatics, Perverts, and Right-wing Republicans". Like The Rules, it's based on wisdom the author received from her grandmother -- except her grandmother was a feisty, gin-drinking feminist. The book covers the gamut of a woman's world -- relationships, money, self-esteem, sexual harassment in the workplace, and the guilt of ordering french fries. Gilman's is a sage, insightful, and witty voice in a confusing time that will make women laugh while teaching them to feel entitled, confident, and empowered. Getting in Touch with Your Inner Bitch: Now Bitchier Than Ever by Hilts, Elizabeth
For those women suffering from "toxic niceness" comes a book to help reach the Bette Davis within--the one with a cigarette in one hand, a martini in the other, calling everything the way she sees it.
