Rebecca Eckler launched her latest book, the kids’ novel Rotten Apple (Doubleday Canada), at Toronto’s Ten Spot Nail Bar on Oct. 22. (Photos courtesy of Jenna Illies, Random House of Canada.)
One perk: on-the-spot manicures.

Good God. Layton and Eckler look disturbingly like twins. Narcissists.
Good lord, Wong and Eckler in the same photo. I can’t decide who to draw a moustache on first.
Tim Rostron looks a little like David Lynch there (which might explain why BeckEcks was signed in the first place).
Huh. Eckler is looking more like Jeannie Beker every day.
