Beginning with a botched suicide attempt, Lipstick and Thongs in the Loony Bin takes the reader on a journey that’s at once inspiring, haunting, heartfelt, and hilarious. From life at a mental hospital and the colorful cast of fellow ‘bin-mates’ to the horrors of insomniac night terrors and modern day electroshock therapy, Lipstick and Thongs uses dark humor and Walsh’s unstoppable personality to explore the absurdities of the mental illness realm.
"Sometimes, the most tender place in your heart is for strangers" In Lipstick and Thongs, Courtney takes you through what must seem an unexplainable and at times unbearable darkness with light-hearted wit and humor. Mental illness, suicide attempts, the wackiness that is life, these become entertainment as presented by Ms. Walsh. Having lived through a lifetime of my own type of darkness, I can definitely relate to what is presented within. Hell, I am crazy enough to own a drawer full of thongs at my age. Do yourself a favor and read this book.
Breaking the stereotypical taboos that surround the controversial subject of suicide, Courtney handles dark subject matter with a light touch, inspiring and entertaining us along the way. It's a great read!
