Over the last few weeks, our fan base has been growing, our message getting out.
And now, after lots of begging (read our blog! become a fan!), teasing (sneak peek of chapters), heavy breathing (we’re pretty exhausted), titillating images (cabbage, anyone?), hot links (vibrator supply company being just one)…. well, it’s finally come. Sweet release! Our book!!! It’s out!!! We’re here!!!
Thank you to all the bitches around the world who’ve joined our party. We can’t wait to hear what you think, and we’re so hopeful you’ll find this a useful guide to living a fulfilled, glamorous, and STYLISH life, even when your bank account is dwindling.
These are tough times. We’ve heard from lots of women who are out of work… struggling to make ends meet, pay the mortgage, get food on the table. We’ve heard from women who love style, who love beautiful things and great food, but who feel stuck in a rut, out of energy, worried about the future. And we’ve heard from some of you just dying to get your hands on our little gem for the sheer fun of reading it. (It is amusing, if we do say so ourselves.)
We hear you all!
We bitches refuse to compromise, and our book will show you how to live a fuller life, even when times are tough. And, since we cover ten chapters worth of ideas, we offer loads of advice on lots of things, so don’t get nervous and think we’re telling you to go buy everything we write about. We’re a guide book about living with style, and our goal is to show you a different way to think about how to shop, how to spend, where to go, and what to do.
Look, we’re realists too. We know you can’t always do everything you want. We know that change happens in stages. But our book is about finding little (and big) ways to keep your look sharp and mood up. To help you feel empowered. To keep your life full. All without spending lots of dough. No money is no excuse!
Join our movement. Say with pride: “I’m a Bitch on a Budget.”
We want to see just what we can accomplish. Get out to your neighborhood bookshop or order a copy online. Help make us all #1!

So now I have to read over time to finish Wolf Hall and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest before getting back to Boston where my copy awaits! I will check to see if Valley Books in Jackson has a copy, though!

For those of you who have read ‘The Bitches’ you know we lust after bold, sexy, big…

Some things in life are sacred, so we usually make it a rule to avoid mixing religion, politics and fashion. Full burqas, nun habits and total hipster head to toe black uniforms are all equally colorless. We thank the fashion gods that the cold war...
It’s about time.
This morning we went to J Crew to return an impulse purchase from yesterday. In fact, getting it together to make amends in such a timely manner and dispose of this mistake made us feel proud. We avoided the ‘meaning to return...
Over the weekend, we made the best roast chicken we had all summer. (Actually, it was the only roast chicken we had all summer, it’s been too damn hot to turn on the oven.) We stuffed the cavity with fresh herbs from the garden, garlic, onion, and...
Who wants to live in the real world all the time? A bitch is in touch with her fantasies. Yep, we’re big fans of role-play… especially thrifty role-play. We’re on a budget, after all.
When you think role-play, you probably think leather-clad...

This summer watermelons seem to be the bunnies of the vegetable world. (They are the state vegetable in Oklahoma, we’re still struggling with this discovery.)
Everywhere we go watermelons of all shapes and sizes are spilling out of crates,...
In case you hadn’t noticed, most of us are spending more time at home these days.
It works for us since we’re mad cooks and always looking for victims, ahem, guests to eat our latest experiments. Since we’re never sure how dinner...
What exactly is a splurge?
It’s all relative. As we discussed in Einstein, Mascara and Chicken Wings, it all depends on the state of your particular checkbook or the state of your emotional deprivation, a splurge is a very personal matter....
After spending the last few weeks doing the things we love best: cooking with friends, eating, bicycling, going to the beach, reading, learning to square dance (don’t get all nervous, we’re still our normal, not overly perky...
I liked your site so much I’m buying the book today. Fantastic writing and sage, sassy advice.
So now I have to read over time to finish Wolf Hall and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest before getting back to Boston where my copy awaits! I will check to see if Valley Books in Jackson has a copy, though!
