This is the most delightful book! It combines many of my favorite themes: collages, self-help, and, of course, advice for losing that extra 20 pounds I’ve had hanging around for years. Yes, I know it would be cheaper and more effective to just eat less and exercise more, but then I might have missed this book. Taylor describes her own pilgrimage to weight loss as she substituted making collages and art for overeating. Each chapter is devoted to one Lady—here are just a few of the 42: Our Lady of the Evelyn Wood School of Label Reading; Our Lady Suffers from Constant Cravings; Our Lady of the Sacred Snooze; Our Lady of Chocolate Dreams, Our Lady of the High-Calorie Burn, and the timely Our Lady of Holiday Madness. Interspersed are charming works of art not only of the various Our Ladies, but inspirational subjects (such as Ms Red Pepper and the Gratitude Girdle), Righteous Recipes, Pious Projects (when purifying your pantry, save the Macaroni and Cheese box—trust me on this), and Prickly Prayers.
