I do not get tongue-tied and stupid when I see a celebrity.
(Tongue-tied and stupid? Yes. But because of a celebrity? Never!)
I live in the L.A. area. My best friend is in the business. I’ve seen’ em around. Celebrities are often a) idiots; b) arrogant jackholes; or, c) quite boring. (And sometimes the perfect storm of all of those things at once.) (Sure, sure, there are some who are just lovely, but they’re few and far between…)
However! I am ready, willing and able (and will probably) be a blithering idiot when Jen Lancaster (my favorite author for the past 2 years) comes to town to do a book signing in May.
I just pulled this video from her website:
You should not read her books in public. I know from experience that it can be embarrassing to be sitting in a waiting room, braying like a donkey, and not being able to stop laughing or be willing to put the book down.
Read them in order:
- Bitter is the New Black
- Bright Lights, Big Ass
- Such A Pretty Fat
- Pretty In Plaid
Personally, I plan to bring all 4 to her book signing and stalk her until she signs all 4.
Oh dear, I’m already beginning to blither.
I haven’t read any of her books, but they sound fantastic! I’ll have to buy one and give her a shot.
Thanks for sharing!
P.S. Your confession on my page is too funny. I totally understand. Your secret is safe with me.
Great another book to add to my “must read” list!
I have a great book for you to read and once I find it so I’m sure not to misspell the authors name I’ll send it your way. I do know the title of the last one I read was Stop Dressing Your 5 Year Old Like Tramp! Celia Ravenbok I think?
I’ve been to Jennsylvania. She’s pretty funny!
I like your bio on the side of your blog. I’ll be keeping an eye on your blog.
You crack me up! I’ll be checking those books out!
Oh, yeah, and I’ll ask the question everyone else is too afraid to ask, but we’re all just dying to know…who’s your best friend?

I have honestly never heard of this chick-a-dee, but after watching the vido, I am going to have to check her books out- thanks for the tip on a mew author!
Hope you enjoy meeting her!
Becca
Yes you guys!!! Please check out her books! I love her! She is soooo funny! Shawn, I am going to check out that book.
Xazmin, my friend’s name is Eva LaRue. (I have a link to her site on the right.) She was on All My Children forever (probably what she’s best known for) and she’s currently on CSI Miami. We’ve been friends since Jr. High.
V- I have been a fan of AMC since I was 12- please tell Eva that I think she is a great actress.

How fun!

I am in the middle of Bright Lights! I am going through Chicago in July and I have secret plans of finding her house and stalking her. She has left me no choice because she is NOT coming to Utah!
Can’t wait to hear about the book signing! Tell her Connie says HI!
I know! She kills me with these tour dates. Last time she had 2 stops in the Bay Area, but no love for So.Cal! not fair.
Love love love her!
