Next Level Basic: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook

Product Information

Maybe the book wouldn't have been as annoying if I had read it instead of listened to the audio version, but, regardless, Stassi could've done so much better, gone so much deeper. Also, I am LOLing that she thinks wearing a "Free Winona shirt" and cheap sunglasses made her a goth when she was a kid.

It gives you a sense of community and bonds you with strangers in a world that can be pretty isolating and harsh. I want to say first that you most likely won't fully appreciate this book without knowing who Stassi is. it also just sounds like that one really good friend who's a little drunk, and your the DD and shes stuck in the bathroom with another drunk girl and wont stop talking.I get shit for my love for reality TV, and frequently hear about how it's ruining the world and making people dumber, or whatever other nonsense assholes like to say. This book is for everyone out there who is tired of pretending they would rather read War and Peace or see a Daniel Day-Lewis movie about sewing than watch a Saw marathon and drink a delicious but basic AF cocktail like a Kir Royale. Lisa Vanderpump "Next Level Basic, to its great credit, does the not-easy task of translating Stassi’s on-screen personality to text; you genuinely can hear her on the page…refreshing to read. A weirdly fascinating aspect of this book is seeing all the various ways Stassi essentially rephrases the same core idea of “you do you, girl” and stretches it over a couple hundred pages.

Discover how to embrace your best basic self in this laugh-out-loud funny guide from the breakout star of Bravo’s hit reality show Vanderpump Rules, perfect for fans of the relatable and entertaining books by the Betches and Andi Dorfman. Millions of Vanderpump Rules viewers and podcast listeners know Stassi Schroeder as a major defender of basic bitch rights. It’s so much more fulfilling to bond with people over your shared love of, say, overplayed pop songs or astrology than it is to sit in a corner and act like a hater. Sure it was an easy read and i finished it in 3 nap sessions, but it was cleverly layered with anecdotes from the perspective of a young girl growing up in the real world, facing fashion disasters, making an ass of herself to replicate Angelina Jolie and terrible grey lipstick, losing her virginity — and ultimately a quirky coming of age story that reminds us all to not take ourselves so seriously because the truth is none of us really know what we’re doing on this earth anyway so why don’t we just do what makes us happy.I’ll explain what not to do on Instagram or Twitter (like, everyone knows that picture of you “sleeping” is really a selfie). This is me getting real, raw, and taking my basicness (and hopefully yours) to the next level, because embracing those tendencies can give you the confidence to speak up and do things you might never attempt if you were hiding your truest, most basic self. I have read many of the housewives books and enjoyed them, I felt I at least went deeper into their history and lives.

This was definitely a run of the mill self-help book peppered with a montage of "embracing your inner basic self" steps - eat ranch dressing, never let your cell phone battery die, embrace some sparkle, and grab that 10 a. Stassi has apparently decided that her particular Thing is “owning it” and at my most generous, I’d say that the purpose of this book is to help you find your self-confidence.If you are expecting some life-changing, literary piece of work with this book, then you still don't know who Stassi is. Even with her ridiculousness, silly stories, and obsession with ranch dressing, she has an important message. For those of you who don't know who Stassi is, she's on a famous reality TV show and she is the most Basic B you'll ever meet. Das führt dazu, dass es nicht in den Briefkasten reinpasst und denn die direkte Lieferung nicht ging, wurde das Paket in einer Lieferstation gelagert, die 4 km weg von meinem Zuhause ist, obwohl es in der Nähe (<1 km) mindestens 3 Stationen gibt. I walked away thinking that Stassi’s great effort, assumedly targeting a young and impressionable female audience, was more a way to recruit readers onto her runaway train headed off the cliff of reality.
