5.0 out of 5 stars Hits the funny bone..., Feb 18 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Life Is Short--Wear Your Party Pants: Ten Simple Truths That Lead to an Amazing Life (Hardcover)
This is the first self-help book that I have read from cover to cover. Miss Loretta delivers sound commonsense advice and she is funny with it. She is not preaching she is just directing and advising...which is the best way to get my attention. Having read the book and talked about it, a friend told me about the CD...well I have not laughed so much in a long, long time (especially by myself). The audio version of her book will have you in stitches...it contains live performances from her various show and it's funny as hell. I listen to it in the office when people are getting on my nerves, in traffic when the radio is boring...each time I find something new to think about, and the message stays with me.
Life IS short, we know this but we don't pay attention...until it's to late. Put on YOUR panty pants and give this book or CD a whirl...you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Words of wisdom to help you put your life in perspective., Aug 8 2003
This review is from: Life Is Short--Wear Your Party Pants: Ten Simple Truths That Lead to an Amazing Life (Hardcover)
When Loretta Laroche was a little girl her mom bought her sturdy but ugly underwear. She owned one pair of pretty panties but she was only allowed to wear them on special occasions. Thus they were only worn twice. Since that time Loretta has been scrambling to enjoy the good life NOW not save the good life for LATER.

And this book is all about enjoying your life in the present moment. Loretta cautions you to not save your fine china for a rainy day use it now. Don't put off what you want to do, do it now.

Enjoy what gives you pleasure and make the most of your time here on earth. The book is written in an easy to read style. Quick and light. Each chapter sharing another nugget of Loretta's joy of life.

The one thing I did not like about the book was Loretta's continual references to her weight problem. This was mentioned several times throughout the book. It seems that if Loretta followed her own advice of moderation in everything, and if she set it as a goal she really wanted to achieve she should be able to solve her weight issue. Loretta - practise what you preach!

Aside from that the author shares a lot of lively insights that make you realize how much pleasure you will have if you focus and enjoy the present instead of thinking about the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Life Is Short-Wear Your Party Pants..., Jun 22 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Life Is Short--Wear Your Party Pants: Ten Simple Truths That Lead to an Amazing Life (Hardcover)
I felt this book was an easy to read, motivating simple reminder that being to serious in life is pointless. But LaRoche's humorous approach is what is really unique and very refreshing.
