Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave: Observations, Rants, and Other

Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave: Observations, Rants, and Other Uplifting Thoughts About Life

The star of Bravoâ€™s breakout scripted comedy Odd Mom Out shares her razor-sharp wit and backhanded wisdom in a deeply observed and outrageously funny collection of musings, lists, essays, and outrages.
Â
From her unique lingo (things donâ€™t simply frighten her, they â€œM. Night Shyamalan her outâ€) to her gimlet-eyed view of narrow-mindedness, to her morbid but curiously life-affirming parenting style, Jill Kargman is nothing if not original. In this hilarious new book, the sharp-elbowed mother of three turns her unconventional lens on life and death and everything in between, including
Â
â€¢ the politically correct peer pressure she felt from the new moms in her hood, the women who provided the grist for the mill of her hit television show
â€¢ the evolution of her aesthetic from Miami Vice vibrant (a very brief flirtation) to Wednesday Addamsâ€“meetsâ€“rocker chic
â€¢ her deep-seated New Yorkerâ€™s discomfort with moving vehicles that arenâ€™t taxis and subways (a.k.a. â€œsuburban panic disorderâ€)
â€¢ the family obsession with reading obituaries for their medical revelations and real estate news value
â€¢ the reasons why, in a land of tan-orexic baby-oil beach bakers, she chooses to honor the valor of her ghostly pallor
Â
From a hellish visit to the Happiest Place on Earth to her unusual wedding night with Russell Crowe to her adrenaline-pumping Gay Pride parade experience, Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave is as wonderfully indecent and entertaining as a spring break road trip with your best friend. Assuming your best friend is the kind of gal who still wears a motorcycle jacket to pick up the kids at school.
