Step into the wacky world of womanless wedding fund-raisers, in which Bubbas wear boas. Meet two sisters who fight rural boredom by washing Budweiser cans and cutting them into pieces to make clothing. Learn why the word snow sends any right-thinking Southerner careening to the Food Lion for extra loaves of bread and little else. What s the Southern woman s take on Wonderbras, fried turkeys and tater guns, Barbie and Ken (tip: she s a ho), politicians (tip: they re all hos) and marital success (if you can t agree on a perfect pizza ratio, y all are doomed)? Humor columnist and slightly crazed belle-by-birth Celia Rivenbark tackles these and other lard-laden subjects in Bless Your Heart, Tramp, a hilarious look at Southern and just plain human foibles, up-close and personal. So pour yourself a gl of sweet tea and curl up on the pie-azza with Bless Your Heart, Tramp . If you re a Southerner, you ll understand. If you re not well, God help you.
