About this audiobook
Now in paperback, popular comedienne and television star Mo'Nique tells us how to be a big woman in a small woman's world.
It is NO secret that I am a BIG girl.
Always have been, always will be.
The only way I'll ever wear a size 6, or even a 16, is if you add them together. That's right: I wear a size 22. And I'm proud, because I wear it well.
Hell, even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can see that!
Such is the life—and largesse—of Mo'Nique, one of America's best-loved plus-size personalities. “I really wish I didn't have to write this book,” writes Mo'Nique. “But it appears I have no choice. Especially when BIG girls are still subjected to ridicule simply because we've been blessed with a few extra pounds.” In Skinny Women Are Evil, Mo'Nique strips away the stigma of being weight-challenged and introduces a new vocabulary in which F.A.T. is FABULOUS AND THICK and a woman who is “skinny” is just plain evil. Why? Because America gives them the comfortable airline seats, the fashionable clothes, and the lead roles in the Hollywood blockbusters. So how can a F.A.T. girl learn to operate in the it's-a-small-world after all? In this hilarious, heartwarming book, women of all sizes, shapes, and colors can benefit from Mo'Nique's Fat Girls' Survival Tips, a handy Thin-O-Meter, and a generous portion of advice about dating, eating, dressing, undressing, and much more.
Skinny Women Are Evil is Mo'Nique's testament to living large and loving it. So go on, dig in!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Can't explain how relieved I was to find out (according to Mo's account of Skinny) all Skinny's weren't EVIL. By Chapter Three I was on my way... inspired, moved, and of course laughing as fully expected. The relationship with her brother Steve is to savor. The stunt her son played on her and how she handled it... just too funny, as well as that "you go sit with Gerald," smart-A comment. Cried laughing picturing it. And the "f" thing, as in how to keep a man, now that one had me dancing around. Two "f's" out of three, thought I scored pretty high. Too tickled here, and numerous other spots where Mo'Nique wouldn't let up off the humor. So, pass the Courvoisier... working it, treasuring it, and walking with it! Loved it!
