Please join us for a media preview and book launch of If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry - Cosmetic Enhancement Humor, by Ann Kaplan
In the pre-holiday, pre-seasonal rampage to purchase gifts, mingle and rejoice and basically invest a few thousand brain cells toward "the perfect gift" - why not take a break and spend a few wine infused hours (or minutes) at what may be one of the funniest book launches of the year - at worst you will get a kick out of the hors d'oeuvres and theme (in)appropriately slanted toward the humour of the book - at best you will help celebrate the launch of a hard covered bound copy of a take on human nature that, for lack of anything else, will put a smile on a few peoples faces.
Date: Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
Time: VIP Wine & Hors d'oeuvres

Toronto, ON

About the book: For anyone who's ever had a cosmetic enhancement treatment or known someone who has joined the ranks of the augmented, stretched, and pulled, If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry illustrates in comical color the illusive pursuit of beauty. It is the unsaid, but often-thought, truth about cosmetic enhancement, presented without shame or apology.
This wickedly funny collection will induce uncontrollable laughter and perhaps a few tears in every person who has doggedly pursued, or even just dabbled in, the promise of eternal youth. After all, it was just over a decade ago that the most effective treatments for wrinkles and other signs of aging were a dimmer, bottle of wine, and a sheet pulled over your head.
From the author: "Can't help it - life has too many pressures and too many serious moments to not find some humour in it - even (perhaps especially) in the pursuit of youth and beauty." - Ann Kaplan
