“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.
It’s the 21st century, and let’s face it: Trampisms abound and classy ladies have become fewer and farther between. That’s where Very Classy comes in, the complete guide tailor-made to address the entire spectrum of challenges facing today’s young women. Very Classy is a collection of witty essays, made to entertain and inform a reader on everything she needs to know about style, etiquette, social interactions, and more!

• Understanding the importance of a GBF (Gay Best Friend)

• Decorating for the Recessionista (chances are, if your house is a mess, so is your social life)
• Why weddings and funerals are not glorified singles bars, even if there are hot men in attendance

I bought this book in print and it is really pretty and gives some cute little tips. Wish it had more diversity so the tips were more applicable to all but otherwise was a good quick read
