Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Wee, bright yellow, plastic chicks complain about shopping, calories and boyfriends in this sassy volume by visual artist Tanen. The collection features full-page color photographs in which the author's tiny, beady-eyed chicks confront a hilarious selection of modern (and sometimes fantastical) situations. In one picture, for example, a chick expresses frustration over a crowded exercise class ("Maude was peeved. Her 3:30 yoga class was full again. Didn't anybody work in this town?"). In another, a princess chick stares at the frog sitting on her bed and decides to terminate their relationship ("Anastasia was through making out with Ian. He was never going to change.") The chicks are darling, and the dioramas in which Tanen places them are perfect. This satirical take on the trials and tribulations of the modern, urbane female is sure to please the very sort it gently teases.

Book Description
The tiny yellow chickens in Sloane Tanen's colourful dioramas have more personality than most humans can spare. Set up to negotiate the tricky modern world these birds find themselves up to their necks in strangely familiar human situations. In scenes photographed in glorious colour and brilliantly captioned, they perch on doll furniture, duke it out in playground popularity battles, avoid the menacing KFC outlet, suffer the effects of an overzealous wax-job and keep centred during an annoyingly crowded yoga class. Charming, spiked with off-kilter wit and somehow larger than life, these chickens will win the hearts of all who behold them.
Tanen's eye for the telling moment and her subversive humour have combined to produce the most gorgeous art book to be found in the humour section. Already the reviewers' feathers are flying, calling the book a "hen party" and the new "chick-lit." Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same promises to be the gift book of the Christmas season.

Great gift for that whacked friend...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bitter With Baggage Seeks Same (Hardcover)
I read this whole book while shopping at the mall, bought it for a friend, then took it home and read through it three more times. I don't want to mail it; I want to keep it and read it every day after work. Maybe I'll buy another one for myself.

the biggest laugh I've ever had over a book,
By langelus (Naples, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bitter With Baggage Seeks Same (Hardcover)
I bought this book while shopping in Gatwick Airport on a whim. My friend and I read it on our flight to Dublin and we couldn't stop laughing. Every person I've shown it to doubles over in hysterical laughter over every page. Whenever I need a lift I look at my favorite pages! This is a must for all your friends!
