I loved it.

--Ann Patchett Helen Ellis has a mantra: If you don't have something nice to say, say something not-so-nice in a nice way.

Say weathered instead of she looks like a cake left out in the rain and I'm not in charge instead of they're doing it wrong.

In these twenty-three raucous essays, Ellis transforms herself into a dominatrix Donna Reed to save her marriage, inadvertently steals a Burberry trench coat, avoids a neck lift, and finds a black-tie gown that gives her the confidence of a drag queen.

While she may have left Alabama for New York City, Helen Ellis is clinging to her Southern accent like mayonnaise to white bread, and offering readers a hilarious, completely singular view on womanhood for both sides of the Mason-Dixon.
