Bless Your Heart, Tramp

What's the Southern woman's take on Wonderbras, fried turkeys and 'tater guns, Barbie and Ken (tip: she's a ho), politicians (tip: they're all hos) and marital success (if you can't agree on a perfect pizza ratio, y'all are doomed)? Bless Your Heart, Tramp tackles these and other lard-laden subjects, in a hilarious look at Southern -- and just plain human -- foibles, up-close and personal.Step into the wacky world of "womanless wedding" fund-raisers, in which Bubbas wear boas. Meet two sisters who fight rural boredom by washing Budweiser cans and cutting them into pieces to make clothing. Learn why the word "snow" sends any right-thinking Southerner careening to the Food Lion for extra loaves of bread and little else.
