Welcome to Bangs ‘N’ Botox…
…the relatable, laugh-out-loud book about aging. Reading it should feel as though we’re having coffee together, chatting about our often-funny journey down the ‘ole timeline.
Back of the Book Blurb
Pending the invention of a time machine, we’ll all have to make peace with aging.
What better way to do it than by having some fun at aging’s expense? Bangs ‘N’ Botox does just that… and so much more.
Written by humorist Diane Dean-Epps, Bangs ‘N’ Botox invites you to step into a laugh-lined world where every wrinkle tells a punchline and every awkward moment is pure comedy gold. With the sharp wit of a seasoned humorist and the life experience of a baby boomer and active senior, Diane brings you a fresh and funny perspective on growing older.
As a relative unknown, Diane acknowledges she might be destined to become the Emily Dickinson of humor—sans living next to a cemetery—with her work gaining popularity posthumously, if at all. Nevertheless, she presses on, writing Bangs ‘N’ Botox, her fourth humor book, ready to make you laugh until your laugh lines have laugh lines.
What’s Inside:
- 🕶️Hilarious Observations on everything from skincare disasters to midlife awkwardness
- 🥊Rapid-Fire Punchlines you’ll want to read out loud to friends
- 🎱Real-Life Rants about the ups, downs, and downright weird parts of getting older
With her signature sit-down standup writing style, Diane turns the trials and triumphs of aging into pure entertainment. Bangs ‘N’ Botox isn’t just a book; it’s a celebration of life, laughter, and the fine art of not taking yourself too seriously.

BANGS ‘N’ BOTOX EXCERPT (Page 20)
Bangs Instead of Botox
Like that pristine piece of carpet in the far back corner of the bedroom closet showing how it looked before kids, pets, and time wreaked havoc upon it, I’ve managed to preserve one pristine piece of facial real estate.
My forehead.
This has been accomplished by virtue of an ancient, heretofore forgotten anti-aging beauty secret. I will reveal this to you after you’ve watched my one-hour video I’ll provide to you for a one-time offer of $300.00.
(Remember. This is a humor book, so it’s important you’re fully embracing the amusement factor as you read on. Suspend all disbelief and hold fast to your sense of humor.)
