Living It Up: Humorous Adventures in Hyperdomesticity - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

In Enough Is Enough, Karen Finley lampooned the self-help genre with weekly meditations showing us how to make the most of our dysfunctionality. In Living It Up, she trains her blazing wit and insight on the tyrannical Myth of the Perfect Homemaker.
With the indomitable ingenuity and can-do spirit of a manic Martha Stewart, Ms. Finley takes us month-by-month through a year of fabulous living - from dictating New Year's resolutions to friends and family, to growing marigolds in your armpit in June, to knitting sandwich bags for a back-to-school surprise, to getting a head start on the perfect Christmas by chopping down a forty-foot tree and saving it in your freezer. In addition to such seasonal delights, Living It Up offers resourceful everyday activities and crafts, like making bathmats and coasters from the hair that collects in the tub drain, and how to throw the perfect divorce party.
Illustrated throughout with the author's own distinctive drawings, Living It Up offers hope to frustrated do-it-yourselfers everywhere in a screamingly funny addition to the literature of house and home.
