Описание: A snarky lifestyle guide inspired by the most underrated character on Sex and the City, from the creators of the Instagram sensation @everyoutfitonSATC.
Are you a Carrie, a Charlotte, a Samantha, or a Miranda?
Sex and the City may have premiered twenty years ago, but that doesn't mean the question has lost its cultural relevance. The only difference now? Whereas before, many women shied away from being cast as the Miranda of their group--thanks to some of her unfortunate sartorial choices, less-than-cool reactions to social situations, and her occasional eating cake out of the garbage-level sadness--Cynthia Nixon's character is in her second act as a modern feminist icon, and @everyoutfitonsatc is leading the charge.
We Should All Be Mirandas is a celebration of a certain redheaded lawyer and the legions of fans who relate to her pragmatic, no-bullshit approach to work, love, and sex. One part self-help book, one part humorous manifesto, this book distills Ms. Hobbes' core principles into a strategic guide for navigating life's inevitable ups and downs. With sharp, snarky humor throughout, fantastic send-ups to the show's iconic moments, and a thoroughly modern aesthetic, this will be a go-to gift for fashion heads, pop culture geeks, and girlfriends everywhere.

Approximately 300 daily and weekly newspapers flourished in New York before the Civil War. A majority of these newspapers, even those that proclaimed independence of party, were motivated by political conviction and often local conflicts. Their editors and writers jockeyed for government office and influence. Political infighting and their related maneuvers dominated the popular press, and these political and economic agendas led in turn to exploitation of art and art exhibitions. Humbug traces the relationships, class animosities, gender biases, and racial projections that drove the terms of art criticism, from the emergence of the penny press to the Civil War. The inexpensive “penny” papers that appeared in the 1830s relied on advertising to survive. Sensational stories, satire, and breaking news were the key to selling papers on the streets. Coverage of local politicians, markets, crime, and personalities, including artists and art exhibitions, became the penny papers’ lifeblood. These cheap papers, though unquestionably part of the period’s expanding capitalist economy, offered socialists, working-class men, bohemians, and utopianists a forum in which they could propose new models for American art and society and tear down existing ones. Arguing that the politics of the antebellum press affected the meaning of American art in ways that have gone unrecognized, Humbug covers the changing politics and rhetoric of this criticism. Author Wendy Katz demonstrates how the penny press’s drive for a more egalitarian society affected the taste and values that shaped art, and how the politics of their art criticism changed under pressure from nativists, abolitionists, and expansionists. Chapters explore James Gordon Bennett’s New York Herald and its attack on aristocratic monopolies on art; the penny press’s attack on the American Art-Union, an influential corporation whose Board purchased artworks from living artists, exhibited them in a free gallery, and then distributed them in an annual five-dollar lottery; expos?s of the fraudulent trade in Old Masters works; and the efforts of socialists, freethinkers, and bohemians to reject the authority of the past.
