"Being 1/2 Puerto Rican and 1/2 regular-white-girl has left PIA SWEDEN a
very hairy woman who doesn't know how to speak Spanish."
So begins the first story in the utterly hilarious "Lap Dancing
for Mommy" by Erika Lopez.
Be warned, though. The humor is extremely, ah,
bawdy. :-) There's an ongoing cartoon series throughout the book called
"Phallusies: The Fake Penis Exhibition"
that had my guy roommate rolling
on the floor with hysterical laughter.
The short illustrated stories are
wonderful, daring, and very very true. If you like radical riot-grrrl
chick humor,
you must own this book. Photocopy the cartoon "Monster Truck
Penis" for your cubicle at work.
Buy a plastic Africa necklace for the
Amish. And you'll never look at a spider plant the same way again...
