Shrimp Shells in My Cleavage
Travel Tales from an Aussie Actress on the Run
Ever stood on a hill in the middle of Europe waiting for the Blessed Virgin to appear? How about gutting rabbits in Macedonia or selling eggs and potatoes door-to-door in Brussels? Been a bag lady outside Victor Hugo’s house in Paris? What about sitting on a wine tasting panel in the Hungarian mountains or vacuuming roaches from the apartment of a Dolly Parton look-alike? Stella Pulo has done the lot and, with shrimp shells in her cleavage, she tells it all.

"What a wild front cover and the illustrations are Fantastic. The tone and honesty of the writers experiences are vividly set by page 6 in Paris, can't wait to see what else is coming !!!!"

"Stella Pulo gives us a delightful collection of stories about life, love and adventure. And they are so funny! I had the pleasure of listening to Stella read some selections, and so I must recommend the CDs as well. I think my favorite story is "Meet the Real Cinderella ... Me." From the moment I started reading it, I was laughing out loud."

"If you think Shrimp Shells In My Cleavage is a catchy title then you don't want to miss this. Reading the book took me on a thrilling journey, but Stella Pulo's wonderful stories on the CD are even more enjoyable, hearing her tell them in her mellifluous Aussie voice. She took me on an exciting, comedic magic carpet ride to places I have never visited, but can now picture most vividly through her technicolor stereopticon slide projector delivery."

"This volume from Stella is Withnail and I meets My Brilliant Career. Acting and being a stranger in a strange land kind of goes together like a martini after a show. What's great about this book is that it's the ultimate in not sitting around waiting for the phone to ring!"

"Once I started I couldn't stop reading. I blew through each chapter eager to see what crazy adventure Stella had gotten herself into. Hilarious, entertaining and at times poignant. This is a must read. If you get a chance to see Stella perform excerpts from her book, luck you! If not, the CD is a great alternative."

"Here is a wonderful collection of fun and amazing, but true stories. I know they're true, I know the author! Stella is a gifted writer and a wonderful storyteller. Lucky you if you have a read."
Bill | 5 / 5 Stars - Great Stories!
"An absolutely wonderful read for all ages, in each of these quirky tales of an Australian traveller. Every story transports you right there. Stella is an amazing writer. Look out Sophie Kinsella you have and Aussie rival."

Foreword by Estelle Parsons
I love to read women’s adventures: scaling high peaks of the Himalayas, encountering grizzly bears in Alaska, solo wilderness canoeing, plunging into the jungle to find primitive tribes ... But Stella Pulo has discovered another kind of women’s adventure: encountering the denizens of the western world, observing their frustrations, their inexplicable behavior and making no judgments about the obstacles they present but adjusting to them just as other adventurers adjust to what nature in all her wildness presents.
I met Stella after seeing her work in Actors Studio sessions in New York City, tackling with gusto and an open mind challenges that other actresses might think twice about before jumping in. She brings that same wonderful down under spirit to this group of encounters. They are here to enjoy.
