Whatβs the Southern womanβs favorite brand of mayo? Why do we have to keep a βfuneral casseroleβ in the freezer? Why do Southern men call their fathers βDeddyβ no matter how big and powerful theyβve become? Step into the wacky world of βwomanless weddingβ fund- raisers, in which Bubbas wear boas. Meet two sisters who fight rural boredom by washing Budweiser cans and cutting them into pieces to make clothing. Learn why the word βsnowβ sends any right-thinking Southerner careening to the Food Lion for extra loaves of bread and little else. Whatβs the Southern womanβs take on Wonderbras, fried turkeys and βtater guns, Barbie and Ken (tip: sheβs a ho), politicians (tip: theyβre all hos) and marital success (if you canβt agree on a perfect pizza ratio, yβall are doomed)? Humor columnist and slightly crazed belle-by-birth Celia Rivenbark tackles these and other lard-laden subjects in Bless Your Heart, Tramp, a hilarious look at Southern β and just plain human β foibles, up-close and personal. So pour yourself a glass of sweet tea and curl up on the pie-azza with Bless Your Heart, Tramp. If youβre a Southerner, youβll understand. If youβre not β well, God help you.
