I wanted to start the year off right by starting it with something sparkly and elegant. You can never go wrong with Liberace.
In this coffee table book Liberace shares his love of rhinestones, cooking, interior decorating and fashion. He throws shade at his parents, at his father for not working and putting the pressure to provide on his wife and children and at his mother for being a difficult racist old bat. He brags and drops names shamelessly, he flaunts his homes and possessions. He lies about his health and love of the ladies. Liberace couldn't fool Helen Keller on her worst day when it comes to his sexual preference.
It's fun to see how he went from a sweet faced kid to Count Chocula's lesbian sister. He generously shares pictures of his beautiful (read gaudy) homes, bedazzled costumes, pianos and famous friends. The best famous "friend" picture is of him and Rick "Super Freak" James, just looking at it is like an acid trip gone right.
Everything about this book is an acid trip gone right.
