The earnest voice of a how-to book or woman's magazine feature provides the perfect pitch for this send-up of all things female and middle-aged. "How to Be a Middle Aged Babe" tells us that YES, WE CAN HAVE IT ALL, including achieving unbearable hotness in comfortable shoes. From plastic surgery at home to panic investing, this book takes every middle-aged babe through the many themes of middle-aged babeness and tells her how to live life to the fullest. Forget how to give a blow-job? The handy Middle-Aged Babe's Emergency Blow Job Chart will bring you up to speed. Want to finally start that family you were always too busy to have? Learn to get past PADD (Pelvic Attention Deficit Disorder) and learn to spot Semen Interns, the unprofessional help that some men use to cut costs. Full of four color photos, pie charts, and graphs, "How to Be a Middle Aged Babe" is full of great comic writing and sight gags that make this the great gift book for any of the more than 30 million women who find themselves in the Middle-Aged Babe years.

Review
"A literate, wildly funny road map to bliss, beauty, and becoming a man-magnet in Middle Age! "How to Be a Middle-Aged Babe" is a splendid must-read (even for hip, Major Babes who think they've peaked). Learn to 'Swing Hard Before 9 P.M., ' learn 'Binge Living, ' and 'How to Retire on Nothing.' Hilarious!"
-- Julie Kavner

A Perfect Gift,
By
This review is from: How to Be a Middle-Aged Babe (Hardcover)
This book is by far the best gift I have ever received! From the second I opened it and began reading the introduction, I started laughing out loud and never stopped. Ever since, it holds "La place d'honeur" on my coffee table and every woman (and man too) who sits down and picks it up, starts laughing and says.."Listen to this" and reads a paragraph out loud and inevitably gathers a laughing crowd around her/him.
Marilyn Miller's style of comedic writng is so unique, high end, literate and at the same time easy and fun-to-read. Makes you wonder: Where has this author been all my life? It is a kind of semi- coffee table book that is rich in hilarious text as well as photos. I savored every word just as happily, curled up in my big "reading" chair laughing out loud alone, as well as when I was sitting in the living room and it passed the big test by reading it out loud to my husband while he was watching football and he clicked "mute" on the remote and listened and belly laughed right along with me. I can't wait to read Ms. Miller's next Middle-Aged Babe book.

This review is from: How to Be a Middle-Aged Babe (Hardcover)
I received this book from the wife of a client. He gave this to me just before we had dinner at my house. We were in the midst of a serious business discussion when I started flipping through the book and chanced on "The Thigh Retainer", "the Buttock Fluffer Upper", the "Mammary Sling" and the "Abs Inducer". I was rolling on the floor laughing. I showed the book to my client and he laughed... it was the beginning of a really great dinner, full of laughter, very relaxed and very productive!
A WONDERFUL gift to a great friend- am giving this to all my gang for christmas!

I'll be brief. This was a Valentine's Day gift for friend who turned 50 this past fall. The book is fall down funny. (Parts are more than a little risque, however, so don't let the youngsters get to it first.)
