Girl, Stop Passing Out In Your makeup: The Bad Girl’s Guide To Getting Your Sh*t Together
Finally, a self-help book for the millennial party girl who hates bullshit advice from “experts” who know nothing about the trauma of drinking and sex, the acute pressure of keeping up with the rest of the Adderall poppin’ world, and the insecurity that comes along with feeling like you have to be thin and gorgeous and sparkly in order to be seen.
Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup is a self-help book for the fabulously-flawed, gorgeously-complex, totally-disruptive, fierce force of-girl-nature who wants to feel a semblance of peace without losing her beautiful restlessness. It’s for the misunderstood party girl who knows she has so much more to offer the world but is too lost in the glitter to see her way out. In this book, we’re going to take a pair of bolt-cutters and snap the cord of shame that’s keeping us shackled to all this toxic shit. And together we’ll let ourselves feel again. And by the end of this book, we’ll channel our fire into one giant, beautiful flame that will light up the world. Because as I, Zara Barrie—self-identified mascara lesbian and infamous sex and dating columnist—swear to Lana Del Rey (my higher power), there is nothing more powerful than a party girl who has finally decided to channel her party girl prowess into wild creativity. Good girls, watch out.
Praise for GIRL, STOP PASSING OUT IN YOUR MAKEUP
“Reading Zara’s writing will make you feel like you’re at your cool-as-hell big sister’s sleepover party. You will be transfixed by her unflinching honesty and words of wisdom, and she’ll successfully convince you to not only ditch the shame you feel about the raw and messy parts of yourself, but to dare to see them as beautiful.”—Alexia LaFata, Editor, New York Magazine
“If Cat Marnell and F. Scott Fitzgerald had a literary baby it would be Zara Barrie. She’s got Marnell’s casual, dark, downright hilarious tone of an irreverent party girl. But then she also has Fitzgerald’s talent for making words literally feel like they sparkle on the page. I’ve always been a fan of Zara’s writing but Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup takes it to the next level. With shimmery words that make her dark stories sparkle, she seamlessly manages to inspire even the most coked-out girl at the party to get her shit together.”—Candice Jalili, Senior Sex & Dating Writer, Elite Daily
“Zara has the rare talent of marching into the deepest, darkest moments of life—the
mascara-teared and alcohol-soaked—scooping them up, and thrusting them into the light
with amazing clarity, forgiveness, and compassion. As her editor at Elite Daily, I had the
honor of watching Zara blossom into the emotionally raw and poetic writer she is now. Her
gripping first-person narratives help every woman (including me) come to terms with her
own demons or insecurities in a refreshingly comfortable way. There’s a reason she’s built up
an army of ‘babes’ who are empowered by the words of their dear big sister Z: Her candid
honesty and no bullshit advice are simply addicting.” — Faye Brennan, Sex & Relationships Director, Cosmopolitan
“Reading Zara is like reading your own thoughts—only sexier and much more brilliantly
written.” — Kaitlyn Cawley, Editor-At-Large, Bustle Media
