A Reader Writes: Jackles Actually Isn't a Nice Person!

From our comment section:

Oh God Lord. I've seen other people write this before on Gawker and here but Julia is NOT A NICE PERSON. I work in the media and I have actually met Julia multiple times at various events and parties. She is incredibly rude to anyone whose name she doesn't instantly recognize, wait staff, assistants of the VIPs whose asses she is kissing and interns. She is beyond rude.

Most of the people who have met her realize that her fawning is fake and those who do fall for her ass kissery (Emily Gould, Nick Douglas, Rachel Sklar, Caroline McCarthy) are pretty dim and equally despised by other media types (despite what they may think or Tweet about) for their media-whorey ways. She is actually kind of a sad sight to see at a party: she just wanders around looking for someone to launch into for a few seconds and it is obvious that this is her idea of "friendship" and "having a social life." These people aren't her friends! They are networking! This is exactly why she was left with no one to hang out with on NYE. She is a dumb, rude b**** (and I rarely call someone that) who can't realize that media events are not real life and they don't mean real friendships.

God, I could go more in-depth in my Julia one-on-one stories and how she treated me and people who worked for/with me but it would give me away.


Anonymous, I am stunned. Are you telling us that Jackles' insistence that she is a good, caring, kind and considerate human being is false? Has she been misrepresenting herself?

Thank you for letting us know. And here's hoping that at some point you are able to give back to that amazing person, the one who's REALLY nice and she's so NOT faking it, what she so considerately and kindly and selflessly gave to you and your colleagues.

UPDATE: I did a very JA thing and backdated this post so that Russian Girl would remain on top since her arrival is such a momentous day in RBNS history.

  1. Hah, you confused the heck out of me with this backdating trick.

    Here's what else I'm confused about...Jankle's pictures of herself and the first couple of front row shots at BCBG and Charlotte Ronson were taken today with an Apple iphone.

    All the rest were taken with a Canon Sure Shot and dated January 23, 2009.

    Huh?

  2. I KNEW IT!!!!!!


    I said the same thing in an e-mail to a friend who is a photographer.


    The photos were taken by someone else.

  3. Yep, just save her images to your computer, right click on the files, and look at the properties. Busted!!

  4. You mean she doesn't really know how to use Skitch for drawing on photographs? Color me shocking pink.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Which ones are taken by Julia? I can't tell the difference?

  6. You are so kind to treat me with such respect and do the backdate. Many thanks. I will name one of my piglets after you.

  7. The Julia taxi arrival pics are on an iPhone, same with the first two photos where she shows front row of BCBG and front row of Charlotte Ronson show BEFORE the show starts.

    All the photos of the actual fashion show in progress, all the photos that include sparkly tights, starlets, Fern Malis, etc., are from the Canon camera.

    Also, that shot of the Betsey Johnson plaque on the Fashion Walk of Fame is not a candid photograph, it's been edited. Maybe she used some photo editing software to crop the image before she posted it, but I highly doubt she's that industrious. She probably just ganked it from somewhere.

  8. I think she got those shots from someone affiliated with style.com or wwd. I'd have to see what camera they are using first though.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Who's calling it????????????/

    She got the boot from TONY. Or something happened with TONY and they scaled back on her access. I'm putting down a crisp fifty right here. Who wants to be?

  10. They are now running Google Text Ads on their crappily-designed website.

    I did not think a redesign could possibly be worse than the original design. Holy fuckaroni.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Awesome! Fake pictures on the fake egoblog, er, lifecast! And now with more craptastic confusion in the design.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Photo-plagurism? No problem, bunnies. JAB will simply eliminate those posts and that means they never existed.
    I think we should take up Christan on her bet and also start laying bets on what Miss Julia Allison Baugher's new last name will be.

  13. How did she take the front row shots if she didn't have access?

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think she did have access but that she's positing pics from other people.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Sorry, it's a Canon PowerShot, but still, don't those things keep pretty accurate dates? Especially when you transfer images to your computer, etc.?

    If it turns out there was a BCBG show on January 23, and she posted images from an old show, I'll laugh my freakin' buns off.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh, ok. That makes sense (or she could have used two different cameras, not unheard of), but Christan was saying she lost her access?

    ReplyDelete
  17. No, BCBG and Charlotte Ronson DID show today and those are items in the collection. I think this is a photo crediting issue.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I don't doubt she's there, but I think she posted photos from before the show started to make it look like she had front row access. Once the show started, she had to have someone else take pictures who was actually within viewing distance of the action.

    Or, she just switched to a better camera and is taking them herself. But that's not nearly as fun to speculate about.

    Also, NO WAY is she drawing circles on and typing captions on her own photos.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Photo crediting issue is good enough for me. This unethical piece of blerg needs to get called out on her theft. Didn't Perez get sued for that crap?

    ReplyDelete
  20. You guys give her so much credit for being devious. I think she' just lazy and dim.

  21. I don't doubt she's there, but I think she posted photos from before the show started to make it look like she had front row access. Once the show started, she had to have someone else take pictures who was actually within viewing distance of the action.

    Exactly. She was also only there for two hours. I think she got someone else to give her the photos from inside, but she was not inside. I think she covered arrivals for TONY and then left soon after. She's usually there for hours! I think it was probably a TONY photographer.

  22. A pro using a Powershot? That seems unlikely.

  23. Difficult to believe, but Mary cannot even spell nourishment.

    Also, if JA was in the front row, she would have taken endless iphone pictures of her seat and her swag bag. Me thinks she is in the cheap seats.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow, their new design is absolutely shit-tastic. You're do a redesign and not only do you fail to get rid of that ridiculous, user-unfriendly horizontal scrolling, but you make the blogs look even uglier?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Jacy, I'm sure their perpetual claim of "beta" under the logo on the home page excuses everything, right?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yeah! I mean, I hated horizontal scrolling BEFORE, but now it's at a whole new level of user-unfriendly.

    I'm on a PC and I get not only the ugly horizontal scrollbar, but also a vertical scrollbar. WTF. It's like a blind monkey with arthritis designed this site.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Don't forget, the content is now SMALLER and so harder to see. That's always good.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Is it a joke? Seriously. And is Megs behind this? Because is so, she should be fired. Monty Burns should march in, release the hounds and fire at least two of them now.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I am a PC user also and wondering if this looks any better on a mac. It's just awful on the pc with all the scroll bars and opening of multiple windows. YUCK.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm using Firefox, and even after I reset my text view to be smaller, there are portions of Mary's posts that get cut off. Even with scrolling I can't read it, and there's no word "more" to click on and see the whole post.

    More than 1/3 of my screen's real estate is take up with gigantic text boxes with links to QOTD and Advice Box. Spectacular design, truly.

    Also, Mary -- so TOTALLY in love with herself. Her latest vanity photos make me want to puke. I'm NOT going back there, ever. (I wouldn't have gone there at all, but I wanted to see the redesign for myself.)

    ReplyDelete
  31. it looks a bit better on the mac i think...no multiple windows that i am aware of. still multiple scroll bars though.

    ReplyDelete
  32. it does not look better on a mac.

    the redesign has to have something to do with page views.

    or, sabotage.

  33. Why is Mary hamming it up like a cheese-tastic 1950s Good Housekeeping ad? That pic of her on the phone discussing issues with her video editor is priceless. "Oh, dahling, that would be simply divine!"

    ReplyDelete
  34. click on the photo. a larger version will show up in a new window.

  35. "Oh you slay me, darling! Indeed you do!"

  36. Anon 10:52 here...I did not realize that the site had been re-designed (thanks to this site, I had not visited NS in weeks!). Anon 10:55 is right...it does NOT look better on a Mac. It is a horror no matter what computer you are using.

  37. Have you all read Owen's latest gawker post on JA? He's digging her good for those google ads. http://valleywag.gawker.com/5153489/google-sees-right-through-julia-allison

  38. yay.com/owen!! (sorry)

    I wish he'd post some comments here.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Just sayin' JA has blogged about having/using her canon camera.

    She also implied Tony was sending someone with her. Still, no Mary, and no pics of her in the front row. .or filming lip dubs on a walkway. yet.

    She seems subdued [is that possible] but her posts [please help me, I clicked through] are not the typically abrasive comments. She is referring to her own sausage legs [if she tried gold tights] apologetic for not liking something as opposed to last year's overused comment OH HELLS NO.

    no, I am not feeling bad for the braying one, just pondering some questions on the ride past the trainwreck.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Photos or no, she doesn't say much about being there. Where's the information? Where's the hook that makes people want to visit her blog? If she's not going to describe what's going on all around her, then what is the point of her mentioning Fashion Week at all?

    Oh, right, it's a "lifecast". We're supposed to care about HER, not the events she attends or people she meets. It's all "Whee! Look at me!" in different settings.

    ReplyDelete
  41. The only content Jankles has is what she reblogs and quotes from other sources. Megs must do nothing but shop online all day, because her tech posts are just images of products and maybe a sentence explaining what they are, punctuated with press releases from companies touting their "new" services. Mary's snobbery has grown by leaps and bounds, and she has started posting more photos of herself than Jankles. Not a good sign.

    Their entire site is pointless and useless, aside from the trainwreck entertainment aspect.

    Thus ends my Valentine's Day Love Letter to the cupcakes-for-brains gals at Nonsociety. Kissy-faces! Cheers.com!

  42. She totally stole the "sausage legs" thing from here. She is obsessed with reading this place. we are getting to her! HI JULIA!!!
