Do You Have ‘White Girl Problems’?
Watch Lara Schoenhals, one of the authors behind White Girl Problems, discuss the inspiration behind the book, who Babe Walker really is and why she’s so appealing:
Babe Walker is thin, 25-year-old, liquid diet-loving, Bel Air bombshell. We hate to disappoint, but it turns out that Babe Walker is also fictional.
Well, not totally fictional. She is the imagined character behind buzzworthy book White Girl Problems, a satirical look at what happens when a privileged, white girl from California ends up broke and in rehab after a $250,000 shopping binge at Barneys. Created by trio, Lara Schoenhals, Tanner Cohen and David Oliver Cohen, Babe is inspired by modern day celebrities who are out of touch with reality. So how did this all come to be?
“We started a twitter account in April 2010 that was just to air general white girl problems, and then we found that people really responded to a certain voice,” Schoenhals told genConnect. “We honed the voice and created this monster known as Babe Walker, and the rest is history. Babe kind of took over and she wrote this book.”
