More Great Advice from the EGs!

Hurrah! I was so excited to find this second volume from those nifty gals, the Etiquette Grrls. With praise from the likes of humorist P.J. O'Rourke to etiquette maven exrtaordinaire Letitia Baldridge (Social Secretary to Jackie Kennedy when she was First Lady), how can you go wrong? The EGs' brand of wry and dry humor may not be for everyone (although those who don't "get it" are probably the very ones who Need to Be Told a Thing or Two), but their advice is solid and sound. Here, they dish up advice on a range of subjects ranging from how to behave on a date, to letters for all occasions, to the films we all ought to see to be well-rounded individuals.In addition to their old website, the EGs have a swell new site, EtiquetteGrrlStyle.com, which offers up more swell advice. I just hope that there will be Volume Three in the TYNTBT series!

Wonderful Entertainment and Info

In the midst of Britney-like halter tops and cell phones used during funerals, the EG's like to remind us that we can be polite and refined -- despite the fact the world can be tacky. Whether's it's proper apparel or just plain manners, the EG's like to talk about the more classy things in life, how to get around certain subjects and rip on that which is considerably a social faux pas.As for the negative reviews here, the EG's have obviously gone over their heads with their brand of satirical humor. Their talk of gin and tonics, exasperated reactions and capped words (very much like Southern Belles) are ALL tongue-in-cheek. That's the joke on their side; the authors are actually "characters" in their book. They play up to their etiquette advice and it's too bad some people don't get it. They never come across better-than-thou to anyone -- except the people who are tacky enough to invite people to the bridal shower -- not the wedding.Along with their book, they have a great website which answers Q & As and are quite entertaining. Both are great reads and I highly recommend it.

Fine and Dandy EG's!

I first came across the EG's whilst travelling the USA - bought their first book in Chicago and it had me merrily entertained for the rest of my trip.As someone who adores New England life, loves reader-directed-humour, as well as has a penchant for Etiquette Books - their books are great!We don't have the books available here in Australia so the day it was released I ordered off the net and whilst I don't think it was quite as good as the first, it satisfied my fix!!I find myself always going back to read them just for a quick laugh and have my little taste of New England.Snobby - not at all! They rock!! ... and they know their make up!More EG's more!!Hurrah!
