My Fair Lazy, Jen Lancaster - 9780451229861

It's a JENaissance! The New York Times bestselling author of Pretty in Plaid gets her culture on.

Readers have followed Jen Lancaster through job loss, sucky city living, weight loss attempts, and 1980s nostalgia. Now Jen chronicles her efforts to achieve cultural enlightenment, with some hilarious missteps and genuine moments of inspiration along the way. And she does so by any means necessary: reading canonical literature, viewing classic films, attending the opera, researching artisan cheeses, and even enrolling in etiquette classes to improve her social graces.

In Jen's corner is a crack team of experts, including Page Six socialites, gourmet chefs, an opera aficionado, and a master sommelier. She may discover that well-regarded, high-priced stinky cheese tastes exactly as bad as it smells, and that her love for Kraft American Singles is forever. But one thing's for certain: Eliza Doolittle's got nothing on Jen Lancaster-and failure is an option.

I just discovered Jen Lancaster and I must say she is my new FAVORITE author! I finished Bitter is the New Black in only 2 sittings (That's saying a lot as I have some issues with reading a book straight through more often than not) and LOVED IT! I'm in the middle of My Fair Lazy right now and am just wrapping up where she is in Chinatown in CA and had Jasmine and Rose petal tea. It sounded so good from the description, I had to see if I could buy some myself. Great books. Can't wait to read mor

I love the fact that there's a pit bull snoring on the leather sofa during the entire "library" sequence, even when they start putting different people in the chair and editing video. Only the position changes.

I think that admiting her literary idol is Candice Bushnell pretty much says it all

I regretably JUST read Such a Pretty Fat, it was amazing. I feel bad for not discovering her books sooner. I was laughing until I finished it and I love Jens sense of humor and sarcasm. She's a beautiful woman and definitely a talented one at that.

I LOVE Jen Lancaster! Funniest woman on earth! And I'm not all that proud to admit I've watched almost every show she mentioned....and the Kardashians. Although, it's always nice to turn on your television and be able to escape from reality....by watching other people's.
