From the irreverent moped-riding Hell's Belles to Ya-Yas sporting majorette boots and swilling "Knock You Naked" margaritas, here are real-life stories of fierce female bonding. Escapades range from those of the rich and famous (Fergie and Diana's night on the town during Andrew's bachelor party; Sharon Stone's literally giving Mimi Craven the shirt off her back) to those of the less celebrated (the Cirque du Chien, party-lovers who dress like poodles and drink French champagne; La Bella Mafia, a gang dedicated to diva-dom, righting wrongs, and overdressing). Chickcentric lists include "Chicks Who Rock," "Chick Reads," "Chick Flicks," and "Chick Cliques." "Wonderful - a must read for all women of substance!" - Jill Conner Browne, author of The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love
It's a Chick Thing celebrates the wild side of women's friendships in modern society, offering spirited stories which explore the nature of female friendships and the female tendency toward thrill seeking and close connections. From the escapades of singers and stars to women who overdress and hold zany parties, this is a fine celebration, packed with fun and zip.
