Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Ever since she was a teenager, performance artist and author Carlip (Queen of the Oddballs: And Other True Stories from a Life Unaccording to Plan) has been collecting strangers' lost shopping lists and imaging the lives and people behind them. With the help of expertly applied makeup and outlandish costumes, Carlip has turned herself into the men and women that she imagined. From a wife-seeking, Fu Manchu–mustached redneck to an octogenarian stand-up comic, a washed-up lesbian rock star to a 20-something goth boy, Carlip takes inspiration from both the mundane—potatoes—and the disturbing—mousetraps, cheese, mouse. The 26 vivid photographic portraits and accompanying narratives display the author's humor, grace and a brilliantly creative eye. Carlip's alter egos are larger than life and twice as entertaining. Fans of Sloane Tanen's Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same should flock to this hilarious, delightful, unique achievement. (Mar.)

Review
“Carlip’s curriculum vitae reads like a Cliffsnotes version of american popular culture.” —The New York Times
"I wish I had thought of this idea —I'm so jealous. I don't know which is better —seeing the actual shopping lists or seeing Hillary in disguise. This book is a real find. Add it to your shopping list. It's on mine, right under Glue Wands and Greens for Dusty." —Amy Sedaris
