Journal Entry 1 by darkpunkangel from Barrie, Ontario Canada on Sunday, April 27, 2008

Too many travel guides are dry lists of attractions or portentous histories of a place. This isn't the case with The Thong Also Rises. Hot on the (high) heels of Sand in My Bra and Whose Panties Are These? comes this collection of the best in women’s travel and humor writing. These Ms-adventures take readers around the world and back again — and they’ll be happy to be reading rather than experiencing some of these adventures. Subjects include learning how to go to the bathroom with a pig in Thailand, trying to explain that sex toy to customs while Mother is watching, attending naked wedding ceremonies on Valentine’s Day in Jamaica, conquering that consuming fear of wooden puppets with a visit to Prague, boarding a crusty old Soviet Bomber in Laos, and more. Contributors include such notable writers and comedians as Jill Connor Browne, Wanda Sykes, Laurie Notaro, Wendy Dale, and Ayun Halliday.

Journal Entry 5 by collectorkerri from Springfield, Illinois USA on Wednesday, August 06, 2008

Another hilarious episode in this women's travel humor anthology series. I read one of the previous books, Whose Panties are These?, and the stories were just as funny.

Sent out on another book relay. Enjoy!

This book was in the bookbox when it came home. Looks interesting. Not always a huge fan of short stories but I'll give it a start. 

Journal Entry 10 by thegoaliegirl from Spokane, Washington USA on Sunday, September 27, 2009

Some of these stories were funny, others not so much. One of them (about the mom and daughter in Paris) was in another anthology I recently read. I did recently pick up Jennifer Cox's Around the World in 80 dates, which I'm quite looking forward to based on her story in here. Still not the biggest fan of these types of books but it made for a nice quick read.
