Etiquette was something I learned from a young age. Manners were not only necessary but if we lacked them, they were punished by death, spankings or time-outs. Now while I may not be the most elegant lady in the world - I swear too much, I can be mean and rude if I don’t care for you, and I used to punch tramps; I know how to be a lady when called upon.
The book was cute, an easy read but there wasn’t much you shouldn’t already know about. Blasberg fills you in on some high-profile secrets and some low-profile: what to wear to what, what fork to use, how to plan a party, among much more. The one theme I did enjoy was that Blasberg effortlessly encourages young woman to be less like Paris Hilton. He also encourages you to read and educate yourself on classics and current events since a designer outfit can’t take you that far.
I found it enjoyable and I am sure like so many people who actually found The Secret enlightening, they would find this equally enlightening as long as they have a vagina. Available at Borders, Barnes&Nobles and Amazon.
I’ve started on How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like by Paul Bloom. I hope it gives me some insight on my love for shopping.
