A Fashionista's Guide to Surviving Armageddon

Self-admitted wardrobe-holic Coco is facing a new kind of world after a tumble from a career and Real money (“even if I wasn’t Paris-Champs-Elysees or Monopoly-Boardwalk wealthy”) to “down and (trying to get) out.” In her new cosmos of thrift stores, charity offices and job lines, maintaining her self-esteem has become a task on par with finding a god-particle in the Hadron collider…or a real Hermes on a street corner.
New-age affirmation cards and big-eyed-kitten posters don’t help. But a near-frantic (ok, let’s not kid ourselves…thoroughly hysterical) upwelling of concern for a pair of yellow suede boots inspires her to craft her own 12 Step Program of recovery from Armageddon. Her goal is to teach fashionistas, as well as those who love to laugh at them, to become All the Fab-Ass they can be, even as ebbing cash flow leaves them beached and bewildered.
