When 22-year-old Lilibet Snellings moved to Los Angeles on a whim, she unintentionally became a ?slashOCO to keep her head above water?a writer/waitress/actress/Box Girl. One night each week, Lilibet would go to The Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, don a pair of white boy shorts with a matching tank, touch up her lip gloss, and crawl into a giant glass case behind the front desk. There, she could do whatever she wanted?check email, catch up on reading, even sleep?as long as she ignored the many hotel guests who would point and ask the staff, ?Is she allowed to use the bathroom?OCO (Yes.) Dog-paddling through her twenties, Snellings resisted financial bailouts (for the most part) from her sweet Southern mother and business-oriented dad, while pondering her peculiar position as a human art installation. Was she a piece of art or a piece of ass? Was she allowed to read both Walt Whitman and "US Weekly" as she lounged in an oversized, waterless aquarium behind a hotel concierge desk? From misinterpreting a modeling agency interview as a talent audition, to avoiding Bond-girl-style deaths at New YearOCOs Eve parties, Snellings shares and laughs at her many mishaps while living in LA."
