Synopsis

Fan-favorite Bravolebrity Patricia Altschul from the primetime show Southern Charm finally brings fans her eagerly anticipated opus on etiquette and living a glamorous Southern lifestyle. Patricia provides advice on every situation, from hosting a memorable cocktail party, to decoding the dress code for any event, to handling a drunken boor at the dinner table, to delivering the perfectly phrased insult—like her now iconic "shameless strumpet." The Art of Southern Charm takes listeners inside the world of Charleston's most captivating grande dame, who (with Michael the Butler) offers a blueblood's blueprint for curating and celebrating life at its best.

About Patricia Altschul

Patricia Altschul has been featured in a number of publications, including Vogue, Town & Country, Architectural Digest, and People, and she is the surprise breakout star of the Bravo hit reality series Southern Charm. Wise, cultivated, elegant, and funny, Patricia is a consummate hostess and a lifestyle icon whose unique combination of class and sass has endeared her to fans of all ages.

Patricia has earned her status as a preeminent tastemaker. She received her master's degree from George Washington University, where she lectured on art history. She was a highly successful art advisor who also amassed her own art collection and has served on the board of the New York Historical Society and other institutions. In addition to being an academic and a philanthropist, she has done a lifelong tour-of-duty at the top of the social ladder in Washington, D.C., Oyster Bay, and on Manhattan's storied Fifth Avenue, where she observed-and ultimately dictated-the modern-day rules of civility. Patricia, who really puts the "social" in social networking, has a glorious brain, the best legs, a killer sense of humor, and expertly curates every aspect of her life.
