Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

* A follow-up to YOU SAY I’M A BITCH LIKE IT’S A BAD THING, featuring more bold and defiant affirmations for cheeky gals, mommies on the edge, and domestic goddesses. * Includes 60 full-color advertising images from the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s paired with sly, laugh-out-loud sayings. * The spiral-bound book slides smoothly into its slipcase and has an easel back for easy display on a desk, nightstand, or any flat surface screaming for estrogen attitude. * A perfect shower, hostess, birthday, or friendship gift for women of all ages. Praise for YOU SAY I’M A BITCH LIKE IT’S A BAD THING: "Uses fabulous retro advertising to illustrate what us divas already know, including ‘Men are like floor tiles . . . if you lay them right the first time you can walk all over them for years!’"

—Playgirl "Those who say camp like it’s a good thing will love this book that cheerfully skewers advertising images from the ‘50s and ‘60s."

—Entertainment Weekly’s "The Must List"

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious Follow-Up to "You Say I'm a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing", January 18, 2006

This review is from: That's Queen Bitch to You (Spiral-bound)

When my husband and I first saw You Say I'm a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing, we cracked up so hard in the bookstore that I thought I thought 1. He was going to pee himself 2. I was going to black out.

Incredibly, Ed Polish's follow-up That's Queen Bitch to You may be even *more* funny than his previous offering! I know...I can barely believe it, either.

For those unfamiliar, That's Queen Bitch to You is a series of retro pictures from the 50's and 60's that are coupled with snarky sayings. The spiral binding allows you to pick a favorite picture and display it on your desk or other flat surface.

Here are some of my favorites:

*I Was On A Diet For A Month And Lost 30 Days (A well-dressed woman reclines in a recliner)

*I Chose The Road Less Traveled. Now, Where The Hell Am I? (A wild-eyed, well-coiffed woman behind a steering wheel)

*Does My Fat Ass Make Me Look Fat? (Two smiling women looking as if they're engaged in conversation)

*Gotta Go. The Kids Chewed Through Their Straps (Well-dressed woman waving buh-bye)

*Your Proctologist Called. They Found Your Head. (Smiling woman at the bathroom vanity, holding toilet paper against her cheek)

*Kinky As A Cheap Garden Hose (A woman in snazzy outdoor attire holds up a green garden hose)

*I Got A Sweater For Christmas. I Really Wanted A Screamer Or A Moaner (A besweatered woman at a ski lodge wearing aviator sunglasses)

*When I Was Your Age, We Had To Walk Ten Miles In The Snow To Get Stoned And Have Sex (Wild-eyed granny grinning at ya)

*What We Have Here Is A Failure To Give A Sh** (A smiling woman in a bathtub full of bubbles)

If you're a prude, do yourself a favor and DON'T buy That's Queen Bitch To You! (Ditto if you're *thinking* of buying this for a prude. Don't waste it on 'em!). However, if you love snarky, twisted humor, Ed Polish has served up yet another tasty morsel that will brighten your day and leave you grinning.

If you're lucky, you'll even pee yourself or black out from side-splitting humor.

(P.S. I enjoy both books so much, that I have BOTH on my desk!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Things you wish you could say out loud!, January 9, 2007

Irreverent and hilarious! A must have for the female with a quirky sense of humor! Things like "I have no idea what I'm doing out of bed" warn your fellow co-workers what mood you're in on a certain morning! Not all of the "sayings" are for public consumption, but they are very funny. I also own the first booklet that they published called "You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing". It is just as funny and irreverent!
Highly recommended if you like this kind of humor!

This is awesome! If you can say that you're a bitch some of the time, you will find humor in this book. It is absolutely histerical! I laugh at every page!
