Party Like A Mock Star!

"Women of all ages, from the fake ID driver's license age, you know you had one, the middle-aged socialite, whose calendar is overflowing with 'must do' evening cocktail events, to the more mature woman, you know who you are, should read this book. This little tongue in cheek companion guide reveals what motivates women to drink, what they drink, and why it is just so darn plain easy to drink. So, put down that glass of wine, because I am going to give you tips on how to be social, refined and coherent for a change. You will have an "absolutely fabulous" time out drinking with your friends, without the requisite hangover. That is right you are going to learn how to become a Mock Star©. How do you rock your mock? Mocking, simplified, is drinking--there is just no alcohol. You have a drink in your hands, hopefully in a beautifully shaped glass, and maybe even an umbrella or sprig of celery to boot, but the drink you're sipping is only 'mocking' an actual drink." - Author Zoe Robinette - More from Zoe: "I will admit that I am a lightweight drinker. I have been a lightweight drinker since I was in my teens. I fully accept making a mockery of myself in the process of sharing my drinking stories with you. Although I was not any wilder than most of my friends, [actually, I tell some of their stories too] it just took me an exceptionally long time to figure out that alcohol does not mix with everything. That is correct, just about everything, but we can talk about all that later. All it took was an alcoholic drink or two. What I finally had to do to save my sanity and my social grace, was to perfect the art of pretending to drink alcohol, while not taking a sip of the amazing brain altering nectar. I never seemed to get around to using the mocking skills to save, rectify or breathe life into any of my love affairs, but there is another story altogether. However, I used these mocking techniques while out with associates, and friends at various venues and functions without just settling for the cola in the soft drink glass. Yes, the art of mocking has been tested and proven. What we are going to share in this little guide, are some of the party-until-you-drop antics and the final making of the original Mock Star!" - Author Zoe Robinette
