Book Description

September 18, 2001
Sweetie established her biting wit and discerning taste on all things in fashion as the back page columnist for Elle magazine. Now, the self-appointed answer to every woman's prayers has compiled a book which tells readers about her rise from the gutter to the runway and offers advice, tips, and wry commentary on topics such as diet, exercise, art, hair, accessories, and travel. The book will be filled with four-color photos by Elle magazine's leading fashion photographers, illustrations by acclaimed fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo, and of course, Sweetie's incomparable wit. This is no ordinary self-help and beauty guide, especially when Sweetie's philosophy on dating and romance includes gems of advice like, "The best way to get over a man is to get under another one", and "Men will say anything to get into your kennel".

4.0 out of 5 stars A funny satire of the fashion world, October 4, 2001
By 
rachel (Franklin Lakes, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweetie : Tantalizing Tips from a Furry Fashionista (Hardcover)
As a gift, my mother's friend got this book for me. I am not a fashion connoisseur, as a matter of fact I detest the world of fashion altogether. The book isn't your normal book of tips for being a model, this book provides a view of the fashion world from a dog's point of view. Not only is this book charming and full of great pictures, it's also a delight to read. Although I wouldn't recommend this book to a true fashion lover, or even a person who is looking for the meaning of life through fashion, this book is good for a laugh. My favorite recurring theme in this book is the constant mentioning of Sweetie's bad breath (from all the blts, beef, liver, and turkey sandwiches). So girls be proud of your pear shaped figure and back fat, Sweetie is, so buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charm, Good Humor, Witty, and Fun, November 23, 2001
By 
Margaret Maugenest (Victorville, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweetie : Tantalizing Tips from a Furry Fashionista (Hardcover)
The idea of a dog venturing forth from humble beginnings (about as humble as they come) into the spotlight - who doesn't love a rags to riches story? The illustrations are as charming as the story she tells; Sweetie's insights into the fashion world are original (a dog's point of view, of course!) - as are many of her beauty tips. A very entertaining and enjoyable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darling, Hilarious & Educational!, October 21, 2001
By 
Lisa Bernard (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweetie : Tantalizing Tips from a Furry Fashionista (Hardcover)
I literally stole this book from an 8 year old! This book was so darn cute I couldn't stop laughing and reading passages aloud to my husband. I will buy several copies and of course return the one to the little girl.
I would love to have a steak and martini with Sweetie.
I will keep up with Mark Welsh's work from now on.
Sweetie, you go girl!
