WHITE GIRL PROBLEMS

Babe Walker

'Gossip Girls' meets 'The Hills' meets 'Sex and the City'.
Babe Walker, center of the universe, is a painstakingly manicured white girl with an expensive smoothie habit, a minor rage issue, a proclivity for high end shopping, and nearly half a million Twitter followers. She's nearing the end of a 28 day rehabilitation for her shopping addiction, and trying to answer the pressing question: "How the hell did I get here?" Books like Kardashian Konfidential and Lauren Conrad's L.A. Candy series have played a huge role in the lives of millions of women throughout the world, while popularizing a certain kind of girl. Babe is one of those girls, with problems such as: -I'll eat anything, as long as it's gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, low-fat, low-calorie, sugar-free and organic.

-All I want for Christmas is for you to know what I want for Christmas without me having to tell you.
-I hate my horse.
-No matter what I do, I will never be as strong or thin as Gwyneth.
-My Dad's raw food chef, my Dad's former best friend's daughter, and my Dad's new girlfriend are the same person.

White Girl Problems pokes fun at, and provides commentary on the current state of pop culture, where the manufactured drama of the oblivious is not just accepted, but lauded by reality shows, endorsement deals and glossy magazine covers. Like Cher, in the movie Clueless, or Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, Babe Walker will entertain, annoy, inspire, and endear herself to readers in equal measures. @whitegrlproblem is ranked by Time magazine as Twitter's 3rd-most influential feed.
