To know
the Sweet Potato Queens is to love them, and if you haven't heard about them
yet, you will. Since the early 1980s, this group of belles-gone-bad has been
the toast of Jackson, Mississippi, with their glorious annual appearance in the
St. Patrick's Day parade. In The
Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love, their royal ringleader, Jill Conner
Browne, introduces the Queens to the world with this sly, hilarious manifesto
about love, life, men, and the importance of being prepared.

Best Advice Ever Given in the Entire History of the World
From
tales of the infamous Sweet Potato Queens' Promise to the joys of Chocolate
Stuff and Fat Mama's Knock-You-Naked Margaritas, this irreverent, shamelessly-funny
book is the gen-u-wine article.
Review:
The
Sweet Potato Queens’ Book
of Love is hilarious and uplifting. It
is delightfully witty and informative; somewhat the “Heloise Hints” for
fun-living. The Sweet Potato Queens are self-proclaimed queens; youth
and beauty are not prerequisites...neither is a beauty pageant body because
they will remake your body by making you a queen costume with a twenty pound
stuffed top out front and a twenty-pound stuffed butt out back. And here are
the reflections from their first parade, right from the book:
"The result was mesmerizing. We were true crowd
pleasers in these suits, proving that it is possible to please everyone
all the time. For white males, it is impossible to have tits that are too big,
and for black males, you cannot get the butt big enough. At the same time, if
your tits are big enough, white guys don't care how big your butt is; and if
your butt's big enough, black guys don't care what's happening around front. (We
know all this because the Sweet Potato Queens are multicultural and we've
compared notes.)"
This ridiculous good read will keep
you in stitches. Enjoy!
