Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave: Observations, Rants, and Other Uplifting thoughts About Life Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

The star of Bravo’s breakout scripted comedy Odd Mother Out shares her razor-sharp wit and backhanded wisdom in a deeply observed and outrageously funny collection of musings, lists, essays, and outrages.

From her unique lingo (things don’t merely frighten her, they “M. Night time Shyamalan her out”) to her gimlet-eyed view of narrow-mindedness, to her morbid but curiously life-affirming parenting design, Jill Kargman is nothing if not really original. Within this hilarious new publication, the sharp-elbowed about Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave: Observations, Rants, and Other Uplifting thoughts About Life mom of three turns her unconventional lens on existence and death and everything among, including

• the politically right peer pressure she sensed from the brand new mothers in her hood, the women who supplied the grist for the mill of her strike television show

• the development of her aesthetic from Miami Vice vibrant (a very brief flirtation) to Wed Addams-meets-rocker chic

• her deep-seated New Yorker’s pain with moving vehicles that aren’t taxis and subways (a.k.a. “suburban panic disorder”)

• the family obsession with reading obituaries because of their medical revelations and property news value

• why, in a property of tan-orexic baby-oil seaside bakers, she chooses to honor the valor of her ghostly pallor

From a hellish visit to the Happiest Put on Earth to her uncommon wedding night with Russell Crowe to her adrenaline-pumping Homosexual Pride parade encounter, Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave is really as wonderfully indecent and entertaining being a springtime break street trip with your best friend. Assuming your best friend may be the kind of gal who still wears a motorbike jacket to pick up the kids at school.
