"If I can save one woman from these thighs, I will not have
lived in vain," #1 New York Times bestselling
humorist Jill Conner Browne writes in American
Thighs, her handbook and memoir for the Hot and Flashy.
Whether young enough to look "hot" or of the age to only
feel that way (in flashes with buckets of sweat),
every woman has given, or will give, ample thought to
preserving her best "assets" (thighs included), so that the
dread transition from "cute girl" to "ma'am" won't be quite
so unsettling. Here are stories of growing up and learning
about life -- usually the hard way! From disastrous haircuts
and color jobs to fashion or verbal faux pas committed, from
the kiss wished for but never gotten to the one that should
have been skipped, these are the moments that mark each of
our journeys from what we thought back then to what we now
know. Since to say that Youth is wasted on the Young has got
to be the understatement of all time, it falls upon
Browne, as one older and wiser, to take a "Hit and Run" down
Memory Lane for the sake of offering "Asset-Preserving
Tips," with astonishing disclosures
about: Why women have risked their lives just
to get a little bit blonderHow the muumuu has been
fashionably resurrected as the "patio dress"Why
it's important to always have a good photo of yourself on
hand -- just in caseHow, no matter what skin you're
in, to make it last a lifetimeWhy you can never
trust anyone over eighty-five
