"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
Autorenporträt
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Zoe Robinette cultivated her joy for performance, theatrics and the art of the tall tale early in life in the middle of the Michigan mitten; her endeavors as a creative writer temporarily upended by her zest for dance, choreography, and health physiology. Zoe earned a couple of master's degrees in dance fitness and health at Central Michigan University [CMU], all while raising two beautiful children. After earning her degrees, Zoe coordinated CMU's first health fitness program and taught dance classes until she dropped. Then she lost her mind and stumbled into hospital administration, where the art of drinking cocktails became a near necessary skill to endure the endless hours of schmoozing and elbow rubbing. Zoe still continues to dance and will until she keels over but she has returned to her first love, writing. Zoe is a woman who wears many hats (seriously, she has a lot of hats). Not only is she a writer but she also has a panache for jump-starting medical practices and she enjoys consulting. Zoe lives, works, and plays in Los Angeles where she is engaged in public relations functions, networking and social soireés that give her plenty of inspiration for her "Mock Tales." If she's not working on her stories you can find her reading, fantasizing about being listed on Forbes most influential women of the Century, planting pretty flowers, working with blue chip corporations or indulging in her unhealthy addiction to chocolate and Mock Cosmopolitans.
