Hilarious and so true. I am one of those moms at school who doesn't have it all together so I can totally relate to some of these stories. Really fun read.

Celia Rivenbark's collection of essays is a must-read for anybody who wants a funny, no-holds-barred look at today's South. As a reviewer stated, "I'll be sending copies to everyond, especially my baby's daddy." LOL

Funny one (and you know what they always say - the true things are the funniest!)

You can see this author's lame one-liners coming a mile away. She offers nothing new, fresh or insightful about southern womanhood...I find her success quite mystifying. Rivenbark's series of stand-up routines in book form was done better and with more class by Erma Bombeck Roseanne Barr decades ago.

Very funny but Stop Dressing is SO MUCH more hilarious to read! I read all of these, with the exception of Belle Weather, months ago and I still remember and laugh at some of the funny things in Stop Dressing. I'd Stop Dressing before any of her others, even though they're all funny.

I really thought this book kind of sucked. She really isn't that funny. I only laughed out loud maybe once then decided to post the book because I couldn't take reading it anymore.
