In this prequel to "Bitter Is the New Black," Lancaster reveals how she has developed the hubris that perpetually gets her into trouble. Using fashion icons of her youth to tell her hilarious and insightful stories, readers meet the girl she used to be.
Annotation:
Jen Lancaster, the wise-cracking fashionista known for her addiction to designer labels and the verbose subtitles of her books (This one is "A Life, a Witch, and a Wardrobe, Or, the Wonder Years Before the Condescending, Egomanical, Self-Centered Smart Ass Phase") returns with a memoir detailing her utterly un-idyllic coming of age. As Lancaster reports, before she hoarded Gucci bags and Jimmy Choo shoes, she collected Girl Scout merit badges and sorority pledges. With her usual bitter humor, she also documents her tentative entry into the life of an urban office worker, including a memorable skirmish with a fax machine.
