The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance, Elna Baker - 9780525951353

Writer, actress, and gorgeous stand up comedian: Introducing the Mormon Tina Fey

Its lonely being a Mormon in New York City. So once again, Elna Baker attends the New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance—a virgin in a room full of virgins doing the Macarena. Her Queen Bee costume, which involves a black funnel stuck to her butt for a stinger, isnt attracting the attention shed anticipated. So once again, Elna is alone at the punch bowl, stocking up on generic Oreos, exactly where youd expect to find a single Mormon whos also a Big Girl. But loneliness is nothing compared to what happens when she loses eighty pounds. . . . and falls in love with an atheist.

Great book. I started reading it and could not put it down. I was cracking up at work, picturing a maxi pad with wings on her forehead, and a giant vagina walking around in a subway station.

Did she left or was she forced out?

Very pretty and smart woman. But it shows that even though some people are smart, they can't apply critical thinking when it comes to religion.

I just bought this book---I hadn't heard of it, but it looked good. And it is good. Very funny, very human. I'm not a Mormon myself, and I like reading about her experiences, and following her thought processes when she's figuring out her relationship with her church. Her other Youtube video, I think it's called the Rejection Show, is very funny.

Shesnot a virgin anymore

Yea, why talk about Mormons...or the book, for that matter. Let's talk about how overboard she went with those breast implants! What the hell? Is someone overcompensating for growing up homely again? (I've read the book). I may read one of her books again, if she comes up with some fresh material. She is like a one gift horse, using her religion (and enormous breasts) to gain attention for her act, and her book...well, maybe a TWO gift horse, (three if you count each implant individually)
