There’s a lady I wish to turn into, Chelsea Handler thought as a toddler. She’ll be sturdy and assured. She’ll gentle up a room and unfold that gentle to make others really feel higher. She’ll make a dwelling being herself. She’ll be a survivor.
At ten years outdated, Chelsea opened a lemonade stand and realized she’d earn more money if the drinks had been spiked.

She moved to Los Angeles and received fired from her temp job when she admitted she didn’t know tips on how to switch calls. She’s performed pickleball with the scions of an American dynasty. She’s sexted a governor. She shared psychedelics with strangers in Spain. When she by accident ended up at dinner with Woody Allen, she was not going to depart the desk with out asking him a really private pointed query. She went on nationwide tv and talked about having threesomes. She’s by no means been one to carry again.

She is a sister to the various girls who depend on her.
Surprisingly weak and at all times outrageous, Chelsea Handler captures the antic-filled, exhilarating, and joyful life she’s constructed—a life that makes the remainder of us suppose, I’ll have what she’s having.
