Product Description

Product Description

This humourous title conveys sparkly pink pearls of wisdom, offered by the irreverent Sweet Potato Queens, a group of Southern belles gone bad in Jackson, Mississippi. It also tells you what to eat when tregedy strikes, such as Fat Mama's Knock-You-Naked Margaritas followed by Chocolate Stuff. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From the Publisher

For when your Life Needs a Little Sparkle and Lots of Laughs
It's hard to describe the Sweet Potato Queens in just a few words. But I'll try. They are, quite simply, the sassiest, naughtiest, funniest and most eye-catching gang of women in the entire United States and probably the whole world. And I'm not saying that just because I'm the official Book Editor to the Queens. I'm saying that because it's the Gospel truth, and you will be saying it too, once you've read this book.

The Queens' founder and leader, Jill Conner Browne, has taken it upon herself to pen this irreverent, shamelessly funny and wise look at life, love, marriage and friendship. She's distilled years of love, laughter, partying, margarita-drinking and chicken-frying into this hilarious book—the only guide to life you will ever need. Must-read chapters include: Boyfriend and Fiances: Getting them and Getting Over Them; The Five Magic Words Guranteed to Get Any Man to Do Your Bidding; and Be Prepared for Anything, On Account of You Just Never Know.

Aside from being the funniest woman alive, Jill Conner Browne is also a mom, a humor columnist and fitness instructor. Her hilarious e-mails bring productivity to a complete halt here at Random House and this book is a hot favorite already. This is one of those books you can't resist passing along to a friend.

Everyone from Fannie Flagg and Kaye Gibbons to Kinky Friedman and Roy Blount have gone gaga over the Queens. Buy the book. I promise...you will not be disappointed.


Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
For anyone even remotely familiar with Jackson, Mississippi, the name "Sweet Potato Queens" instantly evokes sweet memories of beautiful, somewhat augmented female forms enveloped in green sequins, towering red hairdos, provocative dances, and the haunting refrain of "Tiny Bubbles," as only Don Ho could-or would, for that matter-deliver it. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Big girls, big hair, big laughs, 14 Jan 2002
By A Customer
What a great book! From the outset, it is blissfully easy to picture the 'Queens' making whoopee at Hal & Mal's, Fat Mama's Knock you Naked Margarita in hand, saying yah-boo-sucks to the world in general. Completely irrerverent, laugh out loud funny, it also shows it's soft side in the last chapter which is very touching. Jill C-B's style is bitingly funny, frighteningly accurate and one of the biggest romps I have read in a LONG time! Once UK readers get wind of this, prepare for a bestseller to beat all others in 2002! Yo' mama would NOT approve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Screamingly funny!!!, 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
I notice that those who hate this book also happen to need to go back to first grade and learn to spell. Hmm, is there a correlation??

This book makes me laugh just thinking about it! The section on writing your own obituary is classic -- no banana clips will be in MY obit!

Buy this book today and ignore the spelling bee losers.

1.0 out of 5 stars What's that smell? Rotten Potatoes, 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
I am a native of Jackson, Mississippi, and have always loved the St. Paddy's day parade, but have never noticed the Queens before. When I saw this book, I thought I must buy it. It LOOKED witty and amusing. Unfortunately, it was self-inflated ego trash. This book is not anything more than a pitiful excuse for humor. Your time is better spent cleaning the lint out of your dryer, which incidently, is more fun than reading this book.

What a dissappointment this book was! Did some editor just hand over the ya ya books and say:try to write like this" ? The humor is contrived and the story never takes off.
