Julia: Starting Up Her Own Caption Contest



Caption Contest #2! During 1st segment on MSNBC, about "Celebrities on Twitter." I look almost reverential. O ...



Caption Contest! During the 2nd MSNBC Twitter segment today.




Caption contest, you propose? OK, I'll start. It's odd, but the same caption seems to work so perfectly with both shots, as different as they each may be.

"Hi America! I'm fucking crazy!"

51 comments:

  1. "The cupcake was THIS big!"

    Is that the Davos suit again? Too. Much. Makeup.

  2. Michael Jackson is going on tour! And I am his doppelganger!

  3. Damnit, Dadaism, you were too fast for me. My suggestion would have been:

    Channeling Michael Jackson.

  4. So...she didn't use NonSociety/YMI Weekly as her place of employment? She used Time Out NY?

    INTERESTING.

  16. This attempt at being an "expert" on all things tech, combined with her "one year ago today I was making intelligent commentary about media and the internet" post reminds of a great quote by Dorothy Parker:

    "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."

    She postures, she pouts but she doesn't actually say anything. She has no insight, no wisdom to offer. How does she expect to be a writer or media commenter without these very essential ingredients?

    Dumbass.

  17. #2: "So, in a recession, I find that if you bake a dog about this big, the meat will last about a week."

  18. Britney, the Kutchers, and MC Hammer. Yeah, that's a tidal wave--nay, a tsunami--of "big name celebrities" all right.

    I thought being overly impressed with Hollywood went out with 2008, Jankles, you pop culture dodo bird.

  19. Did anybody watch this travesty? I'm curious about how many of her own personal anecdotes she managed to interject.

    ReplyDelete
  20. #2: "And this is my 'So you DID mind that I exposed you as bipolar on the internet, huh?'-move".

    ReplyDelete
  21. #1 "Yep, I pretty much have no reason to be here!"

    #2 "Is that my appearance fee check!? Now I can go buy a new suit at Filene's Basement"

    ReplyDelete
  22. Okay, I snorted when I read, "...Now I can go buy a new suit at Filene's Basement"
    What's with that suit she wore? It looks like that wierd knit fabric they used on couches in the 80s.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Anon @ 8:09, I started to watch her early appearance, but her mannerisms and voice were so distracting that I couldn't finish.

    I can only shudder to imagine what it must be like to have to deal with her in person and not be able to run away screaming.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have a caption for both:

    Micofameout Julia Allison basks in the thought that she is a "big name celebrity" (fig. 1) until she quickly realizes she is a columnist for a regional magazine that no one gives a shit about (fig. 2).

  31. Didn't Jules used to live across the hall from Rosie O'Donnell and beg her to be friends or something to that tune? Anyone notice that, in the second pic, she looks a lot like Rosie? I think its the jowls.

    ReplyDelete
  32. those lips. those poofy, injected lips.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I still like Jowl-ia for a nickname. Don't know why it never caught on...

    ReplyDelete
  34. Caption

    I thought I taw a a Pink Tutu

    ReplyDelete
  35. Anon 7:58, you're spot on. This is what has always irritated me the most about JAB...there is no substance. No insight, no wit, no humor, no wisdom.

    ReplyDelete
  36. She looks like a gay TV preacher's wife.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Caption

    Zygotes, who knew?

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm sorry, but that suit cut is just way too low. She looks like a two-bit whore. Poofy, if you had any SUBSTANCE to offer, you wouldn't have to look so trashy and cheap.

    Troweled on makeup + shelving the titties out to here = desperation.

    She is really so pathetic.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Love that even though she probably chose the MOST flattering screen shots available, she still has a major double chin going on there. Lolz.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Isn't that the suit she wore to Fashion Week with her Mom? Poofy, you have one more wearing of that elastic waistband skirt. Then you must burn it! You're a media celebrity! You know the rules. No showing up anywhere in the same outfit more than three times!

    Her makeup is atrocious. Is that frosted eyeshadow? Was she going to her prom?

    Her face looks fat and bloated.

  43. #1: Old school twitter: She's doing an imitation of a bird, flapping her "wings" and literally saying, "tweet tweet!"

    #2: Today's twitter: She's demonstrating how she sometimes has to blow the smoke off her thumbs after a late-night, rapid-fire twitter session.

  44. while Amercian Financial Makets Crashed..Julia who puts the A-hole in Allison twitted

  45. After a year of sitting in my apartment feeding cupcakes to my internet addiction, my ass is THIS big. Before that , it was only THIS big.

    ReplyDelete
  46. How does Julia Allison get away with still using Time Out New York on her banner? She hasn't written for them in over a month!

    ReplyDelete
  47. She convinces them that her going on TV and being a talking head will bring them publicity. TONY only keeps her on because they aren't embarrassed by her antics. They can't be, as they don't have any stellar reputation to lose, and they're really next on the list of pubs to go under.. so why not? I'm sure they gave her a pay cut and she's staying on in spite of that, so they probably don't care. If someone who was like Julia except more self-aware and less cringingly embarrassing came along and they could afford her, I'm sure she'd be replaced in a nano.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh, and she could never (read: not big enough) go on national television representing JUST nonsociety. Largely due to its being uh, a nonentity.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I can't be the only one struck/amused by the irony that part of the conceit of NonSociety is that each girl has a different specialist subject, and yet when a TV show needs a pundit to explain what Twitter's all about, it's the dating blogger, not the technology blogger, who does it. Not that one is necessarily more informed than the other, really, but I can't help but think "power struggle."

    I guess their explanation would be that the segment was more about celebrities using Twitter rather than the technology itself? In which case I'm guessing that doing exactly what she was doing for Star (but presumably for less money) isn't what Julia was hoping for when she launched her site.

  50. Anon 11:51, the tech blogger can't do the television appearance because Daddy sent his private plan to whisk her away from all the internet "noise." Duhhhhh. Meghan, the tech blogger, is in California.
