The Decadent Housewife harkens back to a time when single income households were the norm and women put on pearls to do the vacuuming (not that the Decadent Housewife does any vacuuming). With gorgeous, playful illustrations that evoke the style and sensibility of a more innocent and playful era, complete with enough cocktail recipes to throw your own Mad Men house party, The Decadent Housewife offers an intoxicating mix of anecdotes and advice to add some zip to your day, some bubbly fun to your week, and an antidote to a girl''s daily life and duties. Superbly tongue-in-cheek, journalist Rosemary Counter?s delightfully sassy tone perfectly captures the effervescent narcissism of her sprightly little book. Sexy isn''t the half of it. It''s about attitude, girl. This book gives you that moxie, and then some!

Decadent Housewife: How to Live Lavishly on His Budget
Rosemary Counter studied English Literature at the University of Toronto, where she developed a keen sense of irony and how to write a kickass paper without reading the book. Her writing has been featured in The New York Times, Elle Canada, Chatelaine, The Globe and Mail, and Reader?s Digest Best Health. Ms. Counter has provided us a brief witty lexicon for our time, a "Mancyclopedia" in The New Yorker.
"The sense of humor, the extreme feminist way of thought and the extravagant decadence is just hilarious. Every page I turned in this book had my face muscles working out one way or the other!"- Claudia, SipChampagne.blogspot.ca
"A wishful take on what we all hope married life would be like. Funny and entertaining." - Booktopia.com
"I adore all things vintage especially old-style glamour. As soon as I saw the illustrations in The Decadent Housewife I had to have it as it had pinups of course. The subtitle made me laugh - How to Live Lavishly on his Budget - so I knew it would be a tongue-in-cheek book. The chapters deal with certain times of the day upon rising at 7.30am til late at night. Filled with absolute sarcasm which I enjoyed along with tips, recipes, checklists and cute little quizzes. The graphics are very cool with that retro flavour with pin ups and household pictures throughout."- Integrity Reviews
