Celebrity addicted as I am, I love the idea behind Chore Whore, subtitled Adventures of a Celebrity Personal Assistant.
What I'm not too sure about is the title. I read yesterday (in The Guardian) that Councilwoman Darlene Mealy of Brooklyn has called for the word "bitch" to be banned in New York. Despite feminist attempts to reclaim the word, Councilwoman Mealy feels that its usage is all about male dominance.
How do you feel about the word "whore"? If it was just this book I probably wouldn't worry, but there's also Iris Bahr's Dork Whore and the repetition of it in Karen McCullah Lutz's The Bachelorette Party bothered Diane.
So what do you think? Is it just a bit of fun or is it a trend that should probably be nipped in the bud?
