One part Joan Didion, one part Holly Golightly, Lilibet Snellings has given us, in\u003ci\u003eBox Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, a hilarious and utterly original account of coming of age in L.A. Winsome, witty, and startlingly honest, she takes us on a mental journey that touches on feminism and fast food, voyeurism and advertising, going broke and breaking away.\" -\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When 22-year-old Lilibet Snellings moved to Los Angeles on a whim, she unintentionally became a \"slash\" to keep her head above water-a writer\/waitress\/actress\/Box Girl. One night each week, Lilibet would go to The Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, don a pair of white boy shorts with a matching tank, touch up her lip gloss, and crawl into a giant glass case behind the front desk. There, she could do whatever she wanted-check email, catch up on reading, even sleep-as long as she ignored the many hotel guests who would point and ask the staff, \"Is she allowed to use the bathroom?\" (Yes.)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Dog-paddling through her twenties, Snellings resisted financial bailouts (for the most part) from her sweet Southern mother and business-oriented dad, while pondering her peculiar position as a human art installation. Was she a piece of art or a piece of ass? Was she allowed to read both Walt Whitman and \u003ci\u003eUS Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e as she lounged in an oversized, waterless aquarium behind a hotel concierge desk? From misinterpreting a modeling agency interview as a talent audition, to avoiding Bond-girl-style deaths at New Year's Eve parties, Snellings shares and laughs at her many mishaps while living in LA.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50203936751889,"sku":"CIN159376541XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039109611793,"sku":"NIN9781593765415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52456622522641,"sku":"GOR006893977","price":7.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52686580810001,"sku":"NLS9781593765415","price":11.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/159376541X.jpg?v=1750719771","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/box-girl-book-lilibet-snellings-9781593765415","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
