Dear Readers, There are at least five good reasons to Tip It!
right now. 1. My daughter Kathy put out her memoir last year,
which was real nice except for the controversial parts. And
it got to be a #1 New York Times bestseller.
Congratulations, Kathleen! But now it's my turn. I've
written my own book. I have things to say, too, without
having to be all controversial like you were. Tip it! 2. People recognize me on the street a lot now and
come over, nicely, and say "Maggie, you remind me of my own
mother." And they say "Maggie, I love your show"--referring
to Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List as my show.
Sometimes I correct them, I say, "Oh, it's not my show." But
sometimes . . . I don't correct them. It's kind of fun being
a star, isn't it Tip it! 3. If you want to know a few things about my daughter
Kathleen that only a mother could know (How the heck did she
get this way? Did she always swear so much, for Chrissake?),
you have come to the right book. Tip it! 4. You know how a box of wine is never empty just
because the spigot seems to have run dry (There's always a
little more if you just tip it!) This book is like that.
There's so much in it--never-before-published Griffin family
photos!, a love story (me and my dear departed husband
Johnny), a whole guide to good living (including how to
survive on what's in your purse), and a lot of funny
business in this book from Kathleen (she made comments in
this book; readers, I was not able to stop her!). So take
this book and Tip It! 5. And be sure to get the last drop out of living.
Isn't it nice that "Tip It" acts as a toast I'm 90 years
old, and I think "Tip It!" even works pretty well as a motto
for living to the fullest. So, Tip It! today. Yours, Maggie Griffin A funny thing happened on the way to Kathy Griffin's
sky-rocketing stardom. The more she told stories about her
mother, Maggie, in her stand-up act and on her Emmy-winning
television show, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the
D-List, the more popular her mother became. (At the mere
mention of Maggie, a stadium full of fans will cheer, "Tip
It! Tip It!") Shocked by Kathy, exasperated by Kathy, grudgingly amused by
Kathy, and at the end of the day, always a loving mother to
Kathy, Maggie Griffin has become the darling Gracie to
Kathy's George Burns, the wry Cher to Kathy's Sonny Bono,
the spry, sweet Roadrunner to Kathy's Wile E. Coyote.
