Bouffard says during the first trimester she only posted photos for friends and family to whom she knew she would feel comfortable delivering bad news, should the pregnancy not work out. Now that she's further along and feeling more secure, she has opened up her blog and MySpace page to a wider audience. Bouffard, due in November, says she doesn't find ultrasound photos particularly private, but when it comes to photos of her daughter after she's born, it's going to be another story.
Foetal Attraction - The Official Kathy Lette WebsiteThe Official Kathy Lette Website
A friend of Bouffard's once noticed that a photo she had posted of her daughter coming out of a bathtub, which she had uploaded to a photo-sharing site, had gotten hundreds of hits while a photo of her daughter fully clothed got only a handful. The friend was made aware of the "creeps" one might attract by innocently sharing baby photos, Bouffard says. But like any online presence, sharing the details of a pregnancy is a matter of personality.
How open are you in the first place? How much are you willing to share with others, possibly others whom you don't even know? Nikki Elias, 22, of Palmdale, California, has her week ultrasound as her profile photo on Facebook and says she has nothing to hide. In big red letters, with an arrow, she wrote, "PENIS," so that the average non-ultrasound reading viewer can know the baby's gender.
She's very open about everything online, she says, and thinks it brings people closer to each other when they share their intimate trials and joys. Just not my cup of tea. The story isn't too bad but the pun-rate is over the top. Can't help but feel that Kathy Lette is hitting me over the head with how clever she is to think up all these bon mots. Never mind that she has already used half of them in previous novels. Reasonable way to waste an afternoon. Dec 21, Kim Yates rated it did not like it.
Was hoping for light summer reading but found this book very irritating. Especially the main character and her lover. I laughed at a couple of the puns only - mostly just cringed. Not my thing at all.

I picked it up when there was nothing left to read. I didn't expect much, maybe a few easy laughs, but what a horror of a book. Dull, repetitive and written in the style of daytime television thrown onto the page. Couldn't stand to keep reading. May 09, Sharon rated it liked it. I like her writing and her jokes, but this was a depressing story.

It's supposed to be a humour book, but it's just an awful and ridiculous one, very poor story and boring style. I give one star since there's no zero stars option.

Characters or the plot, just that I laughed a lot. Dec 23, Cellina rated it really liked it. Sep 27, OhDearRia rated it it was ok. I mean, how thick is this woman? I bought the sequel, Mad Cows at the same time as this one, but I am now hesitant to read it after this literary let-down. I thought the main character was a bimbo who at her age, should have known better. It was hard to feel anything for her apart from pity at her being so thick!

All the references to Britain being cold, miserable and full of hard hearted toffs I thought were very narrow minded, and sounded suspiciously like Kathy Lette had done the typical visitor to Britain's trick of never leaving London! It hasn't inspired me to read any more of her books, although if I come across one for 10p at a jumble sale back in the UK, I might buy it out of curiosity!
Great in every way From Amazon Witty, truthful, troublesome, entertaining - this book deserved its success. I love how we find out about the main character gradually, as her experiences unfold, so that it continually makes one question who this person really is. Kathy Lette is a tremendously talented writer with so much to say, and so hilariously, it's hard to believe one person came up with it all.

I relived some of the best and worst parts of my life while reading this book and eventually I just had to laugh at myself, as I laughed with the characters! Suffice it to say Ms. Lette tells this young woman's story, faithfully showing life's light and dark sides, and carrying it all through to a truthful conclusion, without degenerating into moral platitude.
And never, ever losing her brilliant sense of humor.
