Jen Lancaster‘s “Such a Pretty Fat” Bodacious-ness
By Cara | June 18, 2008
For the gurus obsessed with Sex and the City, shoes and being naturally thin there is Carrie Brandshaw. For the rest of us bitches who aren’t afraid to spill the Santa Clause secret to children to get them to bend to our will (which I may have done ….twice), traded wasabi peas for a Coach briefcase from homeless men (after convincing him the peas were crack rocks) and refuse to compromise our self image despite what evil scales say…there is Jen Lancaster.
Ms. Lancaster is my heroine. Her writing is superb and her wit is unapologetically hilarious. A total of three books currently penned by the author have been published. Her first adventure in “Bitter is the New Black” details her fall as Vice President Office Ice Queen who slays “Chadifornicators,” to the inner rings of unemployment hell. At her side, and always a comic, relief is her husband Fletcher. He is the underlying heartbeat to the stories Jen is willing to share with his Yoda inspired support and tough love.
Second is the my favorite of the trifecta of hilarity. “Bright Lights, Big Ass” is the answer to the Carrie Bradshaw laden world in love with the idea of the big city. Her emails and letters she is willing to own up to are astoundingly similar to what I wish I could do, but never had the female testicular fortitude to actually go through with.
Finally, “Such a Pretty Fat” tackles the issue we all struggle with….weight. Self image is easy for Jen. She is happy with the refection staring back at her. Her trainer Barbie, “Doctor Awesome” and the scale are more concerned about the health issues rather than the fact that she can rock a set of pearls. Her book isn’t about living on tofu and cardboard, preaching a diet regime that only Oprah and her team of cooks could accomplish. It is about finding the will, dealing with the temptation of ribs dripping with BBQ sauce and finding a defense against twits wanting to talk to you about “your feelings regarding cake.”
This is a woman I dream of throwing back mojitos with at the Four Seasons Hotel Bar she loving calls “ the happiest place on earth.”
