Apparently it's out in the shops in Australia now, Kmart and all, so I must say:

GO BUY SHAUNA REID'S BOOK!!!

DO IT!!!

YOU KNOW YOU WANNA!!!

I am, of course, talking about The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl.

I, myself (meaning 'me') read it in one big hubba-bubba-sized bubblegummy stretch a month or so back, and it is as splendid as both of Shauny's blogs and the always gorgeous, erudite*, and much-beloved blogging phenomenon that is Shauny herself. But she isn't just a blogging phenomenon; blog or no, Shauny is a real life fantastic writer to boot. I love that her story is being told outside of the blogosphere, and, as a blog that became a book, it's lovely to see a nice and all-round uplifting story published, rather than all those jaded ones out there by call girls spilling the beans in Agent Provocateur (like seemed to be everywhere a few years back).

Buy me

And so, before I pip off to organize my collection of half-empty shampoo bottles** that, depending on the precise level of "half emptiness", indicates my own quantifiable disappointment for an ongoing tangle of bad-hair days, I must say:

GO BUY SHAUNA REID'S BOOK.

*Being especially erudite myself, I almost wrote 'araldite'. Which, of course, is a type of heavy duty glue.



**True, my steely focus toward organizing my collection of half-empty shampoo bottles is what keeps me from my once-were steely focus of keeping this blog current-ish.

I picked up Shauny's book in Borders the other day and jumped up and down - pointing to the book then to the Husband - shouting "See!!!! You met her once! It's Shauny's BOOK!" He just pretended he didn't know who I was.

And I too, organise my half empty shampoo and conditioner bottles by how dissapointed I am at their unlimited ability to never deliver what they say they do on the bottle.

Reduce frizz? In your dreams.
Silky hair? Not on your life.
Shine and detangle? Sucked in again!

I've always marveled at how erudite looks almost *exactly* like crudite. But they are pronounced so differently, and one tastes good.
