The reigning monarch of the Sweet Potato Queens, Jill Conner Browne, uses humor to tackle the many topics on every aging boomer’s mind (and body!). In her new book - "American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queens’ Guide to Preserving Your Assets" - Browne shares her hilarious thoughts…about everything from forgetfulness to “granny panties.”
“This is sort of a Handbook and a Memoir for the Hot and Flashy,” says Browne on her website, “—from the time we first felt the urge to put mascara on an eyelash and then bat it at somebody to the most recent time we looked in the mirror and tugged back on our neck and face skin to see what it would look like if we had a little ‘work’ done. From that too-brief time in our youth that we actually looked ‘hot’ and could pull off ‘flashy’ without seeming pathetic—to the seemingly endless time in our later years when we only FEEL hot and that comes only in flashes with buckets of sweat.”
