kittiwakeReally, we Queens love men. They taste just like chicken. Well, we can't really say that for a fact. The ones we've actually bitten were not only not cooked properly, they were alive and kicking. Shrieking, as it were. In our defense I would have to say that they deserved it, and in retrospect I imagine even they would agree. But anyway, we do love men. In theory, at least. I mean, they do sound great on paper, don't they? And we are quite the eternal optimists, we are. Even when there are no serious contenders in the game, we like to have a number of men on hand. Just to play with, you know. We think of them as cat toys.
A very funny book about a group of women in Jackson Mississippi who although not approving of beauty pageants, believed that it was every woman's right to wear a crown. So they crowned themselves as the Sweet Potato Queens and entered a float in Jackson's first St. Patrick's Day Parade, and the Sweet Potato Queen phenomenon just seemed to grow from there. Whether dressed in their figure-enhancing green dresses and red wigs or in their everyday clothes, the Queens have a lust for life, fattening food and the cute majorette boots they never had as little girls. Their discovery of the Magic Words that never fail to make any man do exactly what you ask, must rank as one of their greatest achievements.
I heard about this book a while back, and found a copy for 30p in the local library sale last month. And being the lightest and fluffiest non-fiction book on my TBR list, it soon floated to the top.
