An Eye-Opening Read, To Say The Least ...

I recently finished an interesting little read that I thought you ladies might want to know about. Bachelor Party Confidential: A Real-Life Peek Behind The Closed-Door Tradition is exactly what the title says-- an information-packed book for all us ladies who've wondered, even just a little, what really goes on at these testosterone extravaganzas. All I can say after reading this is, if you weren't suspicious before .... Just kidding. Kindof.

Author David Boyer has done a stupendous job of collecting first-hand annonymous accounts of the various goings-on that happen at the infamous Stag. Stories are told by the grooms who go to 'em, brides who worry about 'em, and strippers who work 'em, plus countless other snippets of historical anecdotes and more. A fun-yet-informative sociological look at the past, present, future and world-views of the event, Bachelor Party Confidential was a real eye-opener! Hubs was definetely sweating under the collar a few times as I regaled him with my new-found information and questioning attitude.

This book would be a great pre-Stag gift for your fiance ... it says You're-about-to-marry-a-pretty-cool-chick-who-knows-what-could-potentially-go-on-at-your-stag-but-still-trusts-you-enough-to-be-ok-with-your-going while also hinting (just a touch!) at so-if-you-screw-this-up-I'll-have-you-for-breakfast. Nothing like invoking the fear of death in them ...

David Boyer also has a great site dedicated to this very topic at www.bachelorparties.org. On it, you can post comments or (god forbid) photos of the esteemed event, so make sure you check it out!
