I Blame Barbie is a memoir like no other — equal parts confessional, comedy special, and cautionary tale.
Britni Alleman blames Barbie for giving her the idea that a woman could be anything. What followed was two decades and dozens of jobs: massage therapist, cannabis trimmer, wine tour guide, stage manager, nude model, telemarketer, tour bus survivor, supplement store skeptic, and — eventually — a singer who finally stopped running.
Along the way she survived predatory bosses, pyramid schemes, a haunted house with recycled contact lenses, a Utah photoshoot gone sideways, landlords from hell, and more retail jobs than any one person should have to admit to. She also fell in love, found her voice, and figured out — the hard way, over and over — who she actually is.
Written with zero filter and a whole lot of heart, I Blame Barbie is for anyone who’s ever quit a job out of spite, laughed to keep from crying, or wondered what the hell they’re supposed to do with their one wild life.
Funny. Furious. Unforgettable. And 100% true.
