"I picked this up for my 70 year old grandma, who will get a kick out of it. It is a book of classic old time phots of ladies looking like ladies, but the words, which represent their thoughts, are not what you'd think. It's funny. Conversational. A bit too much for me, but Nana will love it!"
"Anne Taintor specialises in retro pictures with captions from the point of view of a rapacious, man-hating lady-who-lunches. She is always beautifully dressed in a 50s style and sees life from an entirely cynical view. A Christmas card showing a small, intimidated child reads, "You saw Santa kissing no one, you understand?". A cosmetic bag says, ""High maintenance" doesn't even begin to cover it." "Just file it under who cares" is another one. They don't read particularly well without the illustration, but you get the idea.
If you enjoy Anne Taintor humour there are endless products displaying it, everything from drinks coasters through address books to messenger bags. One of the really things about the company is that it traces all the original models of these 50s shots and on her web site are their bios. Its a second blast of fame for them and a very female burst of knowing laughter for us."
