Enormously popular shows like Gossip Girl and the Hills have popularised a certain kind of girl - one with problems, but problems we'd all like to have, like the torture of sleeping on a bed with less than six pillows or your father buying you a horse you hate. Now, three authors have created a successful and rapidly growing Twitter feed based on these "White Girl Problems". The fictional heroine is Babe Walker, 20-something rich girl living in LA, with problems and issues 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.
* 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.
Now, Babe has written a memoir that shares both the good and the bad - everything from her favorite dessert, an ice cube with half a packet of Splenda inside, to great tragedies like her constant failure to keep a job. Like Cher, Alicia Silverstone's character in the movie Clueless, or Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, Babe Walker will annoy, inspire, and endear herself to readers in equal measures.
