Quite simply, the best money you'll ever spend on a
book in your life (if you're a Diva especially). I expect we all, by
the time we have become a Diva, gone through our
Sark time. When we've been abandoned in our life, when we're
trying to put ourselves back together again. Mine was Succulent
Wild Woman. It took me through a fairly wicked
time.
"It's a Chick Thing" is Sark for grown-ups, AFTER
you've stopped whining about what your parents did or didn't do and what
your ex thinks and whether or not you'll gain a pound if you each the
cheesecake. It's what happens after you read Divine
Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and have had the wisdom and "heads up"
to not read its unfortunate predecessor Little Altars Everywhere.
This is quite possibly the most Diva book ever written.
"It's life, Sidda. You just climb on the beast
and ride." -- Vivi Abbot, Divine Secrets
"I've had it up to my ass with sedate." --
Thelma, Thelma and Louise
"You've always been crazy. This is just the
first chance you've had to express yourself." -- Louise, Thelma and Louise
"Whenever I have to choose between two evils, I
always like to try the one I haven't tried before." -- Mae West
Quotes of this caliber decorate the book throughout
the empowering and well, just fun chapters. This is a primer
of how to take friendship and succulence into womanhood, divesting oneself
of conventional restraints and learning to live life to its fullest.
This is a book on how to take chances, fill your heart and spirit with
joy, fun and marvelous eccentricity.
It's about the aunties in "Practical Magic."
It's about the Ya-Ya's. It's about big purple hats and big belly
laughs and the electricity of excitement that surrounds the feeling of
"something really big is about to happen." It's about being daring
and leaning into the spray and wind of the front of the ship.
Get it.
Read it.
Be it or envy it... you can't have it both ways.
