“The Truman Capote of his generation or the Carrie Bradshaw.”—The New York Times
“[Blasberg] dispenses advice on everything from table manners to tattoos in cheeky essays—a thoroughly modern guide to living like a lady.”—Vanity Fair
Trampism (n.)—unladylike actions indulged in by today’s youth that may result in humiliation, notoriety, and/or a ruined reputation. Including, but not limited to: wearing Lucite stripper shoes to a wedding, drinking ‘til you cannot control your bladder, and going panty-less in public.
