Synopsis
A beautiful new gift edition of Sloane Tanen's bestselling Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same, with iconic scenes from modern life featuring fluffy yellow chicks.
With more personality than most people have to spare, artist Sloane Tanen's tiny yellow chickens negotiate the tricky modern world filled with three-headed blind dates, menacing KFCs, playground popularity battles, annoyingly crowded yoga classes, and waxes gone terribly wrong. Perched amid dollhouse furniture and adorned with perfect accessories, the chicks are photographed in witty full-color scenes and accompanied by hilarious text. The absurdity of their lives might strike you as strangely familiar. Far larger than life and charmingly spiky with off-kilter wit, these chickens win the hearts of all who behold them.

Review
"Wee, bright yellow, plastic chicks complain about shopping, calories and boyfriends in this sassy volume . . . The author's tiny, beady-eyed chicks confront a hilarious selection of modern (and sometimes fantastical) situations . . . The chicks are darling, and the dioramas in which Tanen places them are perfect. This satirical take on the trials and tribulations of the modern, urbane female is sure to please the very sort it gently teases." - Publishers Weekly
"A series of captioned dioramas starring spoiled princesses, socialites, and other fowl, some in very Sex and the City-like predicaments." - New York magazine
"Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same focuses on the concerns of modern women, with offbeat and sometimes biting humor that stands in striking contrast to her artfully arranged dioramas starring fluffy pom-pom chicks . . . Hilarious, original and a bit unsettling, Tanen's wacky creation puts everyday problems in a whole new light--and that ain't chickenfeed." - BookPage
"What's the appeal? The juxtaposition of poultry and Cosmo-girl musings . . . Pics include send-ups of high-end shopping, the Atkins diet, and Jewish dating." - EW.com
