I first read the author's follow up book Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress and absolutely loved it. It was a memoir that had stories of the author growing up in NY that had me cracking up. I bought this book Kiss My Tiara in a search for more and was very dissapointed. She doesn't go into stories at all. I could only read half way through and believe me I was pushing myself to do that because I loved her other book so much. In this book the author is just preaching to the reader over and over, telling me what to feel or think on issues like gay marriage or sex. How to be a liberated woman and a free thinker. However as a liberated woman and a free thinker, I found her writing just preaching and more distasteful was her opinion that to hold ideas or values contradictiory to her was rediculous, foolish or just plain wrong.
