Mae West: Rhymes with Itch
Mae West's quotes have turned up in a new book published in the United Kingdom.
• • The northern quarter of London, England is home base for best-selling author Kate Figes, whose latest release is The Big Fat Bitch Book in which she heartily embraces the positive, hilarious side of bitchery. This tome is laced with humorous extracts from novels - - everything from Jane Austen to Mary McCarthy - - and pithy quotes delivered both on and off the silver screen.
• • Many witticisms date from the Golden Age of Hollywood divas, when strong, mouthy women such as MAE WEST, Bette Davis, and Katharine Hepburn ruled the box office. "If we had film stars like Mae West, who had those kinds of scripts and lines - - well, those 1930s actresses are the greats, for me.
• • "Clever bitching is an extreme female sport. It's thrilling and takes us to places we feel we shouldn't go," says Kate Figes.
• • The Big Fat Bitch Book is published by Virago.
