Drama Queens Celebrate April Fool's Day With A Bit Of Snit Lit and a Party!

If you missed the great Canadian award-winning animated film, The Big Snit" back in 1985 -- fear not. Another crazy Canuck, (and a veritable bombshell with Celtic roots), pays tribute to hissy-fitters everywhere in her new burlesque-brand of humor book, "The Glorious Glossary of SNIT".

Victoria, BC (PRWEB) March 2, 2004 --Inspired by the inevitable spats of life involving lip-lorn lovers, sassy celebrities, testy tycoons, and grumpy gourmet chefs, Aphrodite Beamish, (a Celtic lass from Lotusland), knows that good things often come in teensy packages. Her jaunty advice to readers -- accept this token of affection with a big grin. And, never look a gift horse in the mouth!"

Asked why she wrote "The Glorious Glossary of SNIT", Aphrodite replied, Well you see, I was filling in the blanks between a harum-scarum marriage and a higgledy-piggledy divorce. I just felt that I should do something incredibly trivial and blatantly ridiculous for a change. After all, what the world needs now is a lot more love, light, and levity!"

Fortunately, she teamed up with another equally mischievous maven, Desdemona Dwimmercraft. Affectionately called The Duchess", she and Aphrodite founded an organization for the merry-challenged, the Sticky Nixies in Ticklish Situations (SNITS). And as Fickle Finger of Fate would have it, Desdemona agreed to collaborate with her friend by drawing the wonderful wicked wench that now graces the front cover.

Not your ordinary, boring book with big words you dont know or cant spell -- this gem is different. Its for the lite" adult reader with a nanosecond attention span. Thats why its lightweight, full of big print and easy-to-read one-liners. The whole thing can be read in one sitting -- be it a power-napping lunch, ensconced in a thrown room or, comfortably snuggled in bed with warm milk and crumble-proof cookies.

We are confident", said the publisher, that this tongue-in-cheek, limited edition gift book will inspire more than a few giggles and guffaws. Its rich vocabulary and quaint word meanings provide some insight into the little known feisty and well-festooned types who inhabit the universe. With the discerning and often discombobulated haute-couture customer in mind, we have designed an amusing tiny tome that fits neatly into any semi-precious square purse, diamond-studded black leather portfolio case or, a bold fashion-statement packsack."

When asked who would buy what some have said is nothing but a bunch of blather and ballyhoo, the publisher of this jest-in-time® technology item had this to say.

Our preliminary research shows that Men from Mars find it enormously helpful in understanding idioms peculiar to brazen Little Buttercups or glee-challenged Gothic types. More importantly however, this book is destined to fill a big gap in a newly emerging market niche, "readers-on-the run", (including speed-conscious blind-daters, hot-to-trot pizza delivery folk, and Donald Trumps back-biting apprentices).

The Glorious Glossary of SNIT is the first in a series of "itty-bitty bunkum books" to be published by contrariaN communicationS. This titillating treasure trove will be released on the auspicious occasion of April Fool's Day.
