    At first, it may seem like it’s about etiquette and helping a Hyacinth Bucket type present herself better, but there is so much truth and honesty in what she says that has nothing to do with that at all… The chitty-chatty way she speaks makes it genuinely fun and easy to listen to. Thank you Kiki! Greetings from the Netherlands!

  • It warmed my ears to hear the word “soigné” uttered. Whether you live in the family manor or in a 5 floor walk up, Auntie KiKi’s maxims will sustain you through life. In short, it’s all practical advice. Delivered with a saucy dash of tongue in cheek.
