Synopsis

Life isn't easy for Chelsea - but then she doesn't make it easy. In Are you There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea, she recalls her myriad embarrassments, trials and tribulations with hilarious frankness. Like the time she told some girls at school that she was shooting movies with Goldie Hawn on location in the Galapagos, or when she decided to broaden her sexual horizons with 'Big Red', despite the fact that she was seeing a perfectly good, dark-haired man at the time. With tips on dining in pitch black restaurants, and an (ex-) boyfriend who comes to help her dog sit two Peekapoos, but ends up getting along rather too well with 'Daisy' - Chelsea has done it all, including meeting a real mini-Chelsea. Written with biting wit, and a smart, sassy and anything-but-shy attitude, this memoir-in-stories will have you rolling around with laughter.

From the Back Cover

After sleeping around for the better part of my twenties, it somehow occurred to me that I wasn t giving everyone a fair shot I knew that if I ever had a chance at becoming a respectable ambassador for countries like Uganda, Khazikistan, or the Tropic of Cancer, I would really have to be more of an egalitarian. It was time for a redhead.
