Book of Barb: A Celebration of Stranger Things' Iconic Wing Woman
Book of Barb: A Celebration of Stranger Things' Iconic Wing Woman | Nadia Bailey
11 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
For the Barb in all of us--a guidebook for the kind and tragically uncool. While few people were surprised that the Netflix series Stranger Things was a smash hit, no one expected that one of the show's minor characters, the nerdy, faithful underdog Barb, would break the internet. But Barb resonated with us--the chill, bespectacled BFF and her unjust abandonment hit a collective nerve. It turns out, in a world of Nancys, we are all Barb. Here we celebrate TV's most relatable, and tragic, bestie. Get Barb's hot tips on makeup and eyewear, as well as her do's and don'ts of party attendance. Have you ever wondered what Barb keeps in her bag (hint: Trapper Keepers and Bazooka gum) and what she would put on her dream mixtape? And find out whether or not you really are a Barb (maybe you're actually a Nancy, a Steve, or a Jonathan) with our "Which Hawkins High student are you?" quiz. With full-color illustrations throughout, The Book of Barb brings you inspiration from the ultimate wingwoman and trendsetting style icon--Barb has style tips, quotes, and life advice straight from the Upside Down.

Cathythoughts I love number 3. You will get there 😉😂 6y
Bookzombie My husband and I love Silicon Valley. Sometimes I wish they would just do a spin-off with Dinesh and Guifoyle. 🙂 6y
callielafleur @Bookzombie They are easily my favorite characters on the show. 6y
callielafleur @Cathythoughts Thanks. Every year I think I'm doing ok, then I hit a panic mode about now. 6y

Whoooo's excited about more Stranger Things?? I'm such a sucker, I got this DVD set even though it's streaming just because it's designed like a VHS case. When you pull it out it even looks like a VHS tape you have to open to get the DVDs! But it's got zero special features, so otherwise pointless 😂

You're all doing readathons and I'm stuck cleaning my apartment. At least I have my Eggo handbag to keep me company.

Taking a break from reading to color and binge-watch Stranger Things with the hubby. He says I'm obsessed with Barb... I might just be because I can totally relate to being the most unreluctant wing woman, only for ish to go completely sideways. I mean she didn't even wanna go! 😭
Does anyone else watch this show?

RebL Poor Barb. Not even her mother seemed concerned. 6y
EchoLogical @RebL Right?! They didn't deserve her. Lol 6y
RebL If it helps, my kids and I still have her missing person poster up from last year‘s Halloween party. 6y
