Download or read book Nasty Galaxy written by Sophia Amoruso and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Sophia Amoruso, the New York Times–bestselling author of #GIRLBOSS, a lushly illustrated embodiment of the collective spirit of the Nasty Gal brand, Sophia’s own personal brand, and girlbosses everywhere, with a foreword by Courtney Love. Warning: this is not a style book. It’s not about how to mix prints—it’s about how to leave yours on everything you touch. Highly graphic and visual, filled with illustrations, photos and short essays, Nasty Galaxy is part scrapbook, part inspo-journey, with moments of frivolity scattered throughout. Tactical and entertaining, envelope-pushing and conventional, surprising and refreshingly straightforward, Nasty Galaxy is a dive into Sophia’s philosophies on work, relationships, balance, friendships, and more. It is a celebration of her roots in vintage clothing, punk attitude, fringe characters, and don't-give-a-fuck thought leadership. Nasty Galaxy is Amoruso’s newest life bible, approaching style, music, philosophy, and advice in the same way #GIRLBOSS approached business—unconventionally. Oversized and in full color, this is the newest, coolest, must-have accessory.

The heroine of the book is Ren, an Eastern-European woman in her thirties, who lives alone with her daughter. She has been looking for answers in all her life. She has always felt herself an outsider, which the people around her also made her feel. She has never found her place, she has had the gut feeling that she does not belong to this world. Lots of people consider her a lunatic, so they avoid her or cut off all contact with her. She has been tortured by dreams that happened in previous ages hundreds of years ago. As he grows up, they become more and more realistic, which provoke more and more intense feelings in her. Having grown up as an orphan, she does not know about her origins, she knows nothing about her past. Her doubts culminate when her daughter reaches the age of ten, because only then does Ren realize that her daughter is carrying similar burdens. Both of their dreams are about the same thing but from a different perspective. They are involved as different characters. They experience each dream as if it had happened to them earlier, which makes it more and more difficult for them to separate from reality. Ren's senses become stronger, however, she has no idea how her percieved reality will form a new shape soon. She has the gut feeling that something fateful is about to happen to them, which she cannot prevent. In the meantime, at a faraway place in the universe, Planet Nibiru is struggling with serious problems. As a result, it has to send a reconnaissance team. The ruler of Planet Nibiru is dying, without a successor, reconnoitrers have to seek a possible Chosen One, who might be capable of filling the ruler's position.

The lives of Ren and her daughter suddenly change 180 degrees, when the reconnoitrers of Nibiru, who have never been seen before, appear on the Earth to take them to their Planet. Unfortunately, the mission does not go smoothly, because the Russian and the American Armies also detected the aliens arrival, and they want to know at any cost, why the aliens came to the Earth. The Pentagon sends a military plane to Hungary, Eastern-Europe, where they last detected the aliens presence.
