    <![CDATA[Celia Rivenbark's essays about life in today's South are like caramel popcorn---sweet, salty, and utterly irresistible. Celia Rivenbark is a master at summing up the South in all its glorious excesses and contradictions. In this collection of screamingly funny essays. You'll discover: How to get your kid into a character breakfast at Disneyworld (or run the risk of eating chicken out of a bucket with Sneezy), secrets of celebrity moms (don't hate them because they're beautiful when there are so many other reasons to hate them), and eBay addiction and why. It ain't worth having if it ain't on eBay (Whoa! Is that Willie Nelson's face in your grits?) Why today's children's clothes make six-year-olds look like Vegas showgirls with an abundance of anger issues. And so much more! Rivenbark is an intrepid explorer and acid commentator on the land south of the Mason-Dixon line.]]>

    <![CDATA[Step into the wacky world of womanless wedding fund-raisers, in which Bubbas wear boas. Meet two sisters who fight rural boredom by washing Budweiser cans and cutting them to pieces to make clothing. Learn why the word snow sends any right-thinking Southerner careening to the Food Lion for extra loaves of bread and little else. Humor columnist and slightly crazed belle-by-birth Celia Rivenbark tackles these and other lard-laden subjects in Bless Your Heart, Tramp, a no-holds-barred look at all things sassy, sensational, and southern.]]>

    <![CDATA[Rivenbark's observations of modern life can be downright hilarious. Readers will laugh out loud over her commentary on status mothers and all the odd obsessions of modern life. Plus the South truly is a different country than the rest of the U.S., and Rivenbark is the perfect guide to the southern point of view in her descriptions of sweet tea and not-so-sweet bubbas. Home renovation is her main theme, and Rivenbark admits that she believed having your own personal dumpster was pure joy, especially after driving around to find someplace to dump her oversize bags of smelly garbage, until she discovered that they charge by the load. She also tells tales about dealing with overpriced repairmen, workmen who speak their own private form of English, and posh exterminators with attitude. Rivenbark treats life's problems with refreshing disrespect and humor, so sit a spell and enjoy a rollicking, fun ride with the musings of one of the funniest of southern writers, one who appeals to the belle in all of us.]]>
