Those Sedarises are a funny bunch. This is a snarky compendium of useful tips for hostesses, the best of which is "Keep a supply of chips, napkins, and booze at a neighbor's house. That way you know whose door to knock on at 3 in the morning when you run out." That's good advice.
The illustrations are nauseatingly retro, out-kitsching even that master of kitsch, Betty Crocker herself. The fake cakes are lovely, and I identify with Sedaris' penchant for gluing googly eyes on all manner of household junk. And her party-planning tips can't be beat, as they always include copious amounts of booze, marijuana, or both. For all the sass, she really does get entertaining: a way to say "I Like You."
