(UPDATED to remove stupid reference to "remote mid-Western university." So sorry! It's the arrogant New Yorker in me! My God, Jackles is going to find me and shank me!)
A collection of Tweets over the past couple of days. Hey! Have you heard, everyone? Jackles has been hanging out with Sarah Lacy! Sarah Lacy writes for BusinessWeek! She gets invited to sit on panels during sparsely attended conferences and Jackles gets to follow her around!
@sarahcuda - Oops. Busted!!!!! hahaha

After conference dinner with Sarah & Sean at Koi in Evanston.
Fact.

@sarahcuda &
I are just staring into our MacBook Airs, as if in a trance. We need to get our butts to Northwestern!

Still up, still talking with @sarahcuda. So far we've covered the future of publishing, newspapers, tech, public criticism, and faith.

@Sarahcuda just popped a bottle of champ & is peer pressuring me to drink. "I think that's why I have less anxiety than you, cause I drink."

ReplyDeleteWe’re gonna do it!
Give us any chance, we’ll take it.
Give us any rule, we’ll break it.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true.
Doin’ it our way.
Nothin’s gonna turn us back now,
Straight ahead and on the track now.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true,
Doin’ it our way.
There is nothing we won’t try,
Never heard the word impossible.
This time there’s no stopping us.
We’re gonna do it.
Just FYI - Kellogg is the number 1 ranked B-School in the country. Not that that has anything to do with Julia, per se, but calling the best MBA program in the US a 'remote Midwestern college' makes you sound like a fucking idiot Jacy.
ReplyDeleteYou're calling a university located just outside of Chicago "remote"?
ReplyDeleteYes, my bad, sorry. Fixing now. Didn't mean to piss off the Midwesterners!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't make her an idiot. Not everyone obsesses over the rank or importance of every college in the US. I've never even heard of Kellog. If it's not a top ten I doubt anyone is going to be impressed, sorry.
ReplyDeleteWow don't mess with Chicago. Rabid midwesterners (with backup facts!!) will cut a bitch if you dare besmirch the name of their fine city. Sounds like Julia is not alone in her hometown cheerleading.
ReplyDeleteIt was stupid. I directly used the phraseology from an e-mail someone sent me ranting about the conference. I should have excised it before posting in a hurry between real-life duties. Sorry everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt's not about being midwestern etc. Northwestern is one of the best universities in the country. It's acceptance rate was very low and I doubt Jules would have gotten into the unversity. But I'm not blaming Jacy, she's just not as obsessed with academia as I am.
ReplyDeleteStill, the conference was VERY much underattended. The conference wasn't held at one of their many nice and big and accomidating conference centers but instead in a Kellog classroom.
Who the hell cares what the school's rank is? The point here is that Julia has posted no less than a dozen tweets, pictures and blog entries related to her unfettered rapture that HER FRIEND SARAH LACY!!!! spoke a a conference at a college in her hometown. Julia got the HONOR of serving as her crash pad, driver and coattail rider for a couple of days. Julia practically planned a trip home around it and is following Sarah to San Fran next.Creeptastic. Julia - the girl who used to get invited to speak at conferences - has now been relegated to audience member and cheerleader for the ONE tech friend she has left. Pitiful, really.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely apologize, Anon. It was stupid and done in haste. Apologies!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I heard barely anyone showed up and that was the true nature of the rant I was sent. That she was making it sound like some huge thing and no one was there.
Look, can we just drop the Northwestern stuff and focus on Julia's pitiable obsession with Sarah Lacy? Think about it... what if one of your friends were blogging, tweeting and photographing you to this degree? You'd probably take out a restraining order, amirite?
ReplyDeleteSomwhere "ASHTON" is heaving a huge sigh of relief that she found a new twitter @ obsession.
ReplyDeleteExactly, James and I think she knows it and it stings. Hence now the transformation into best surportive friend ever. Also, Lacy may be her lifeline to the tech world so she is leaning over backwords to sustain this AND let the snarking world know that she is not yet ready to settle to be known as a football player's Saturday night girl as valleywag put it.
ReplyDeleteOn an even sadder note, I really think she is so overly exalted because she does not get much of friend action in her everyday life. I'm not a fan of Lacy, but goofing around in Chicago with her must be more fun than explaining to Meghan for the millionth time how the light in the refrigerator works.
Do they share the same plastic surgeon? The rhinoplasty is eerily similar in both.
ReplyDeleteAnd, gosh, isn't it adorable the way their well-padded upper arms make a kinda heart shape?
These two SO deserve each other. They are a match made in recycled plastic.
(I have an ugly set of piggy salt & pepper shakers at home. In honor of this post they will now (in my mind) be known as Jankles and Scara.)
Julia's face looks like a squirrel packin' away some nuts for winter.
ReplyDeleteJulia only has five weeks to lose weight for her reunion. She SO better hop to it (fat face).
ReplyDeleteTwo talentless hacks who skim by in the media/tech world thanks to their average looks. I'm SO glad they found each other.
ReplyDelete(Confidential to Sarah: throw away that lipclolor, like, NOW)
And the picture above is old. There is a reason Julia hasn't posted a picture on her blog in a long time, besides the incredibly contrived, staged and photoshopped Easter slut pics. I doubt she will even show up for the reunion... girlfriend looks BAAAAAD.
ReplyDeletemaybe she can bring oprah. then she could resemble the hindenburg and no one would care.
ReplyDeleteWell if we are getting on looks here, SARAH LACY isn't exactly the lil pixie cutie she used to be either. Girl got big, girl got older, and there's not much less attractive than a 34 year old woman still trying to pull off the 24 year old hipster schtick from the dotcom days.
ReplyDeleteBecause if you didnt know, PP know all about the dotcom days. Ugh. Go away already.
ReplyDeleteJulia looks like some Short Hills divorcee in that photo. I actually can't figure out what it is that makes her look so much older than she is. It's either the heavy makeup or those capped teeth?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Partypants. Sarah's "hip tech chick" look is about as dated, tired and played out as Julia's "slutty school girl" look. They really are two peas in a pod. Two tired, trite hacks who's 15 minutes are long over and now they're universally mocked by their former peers and left on the outside looking in.
ReplyDeleteWait. If she's in love with Sarahcuda who remains to be in love with Julia? Is she breaking up with herself now???
ReplyDelete@partypants - "if its not a top 10 then i dont anyone would have heard of it". it's the NUMBER 1 you fucking idiot. god, if your going to get off on your high horse about how well smart you are and how you only know the best schools at least know the fuck what your talking about, idiot.
ReplyDeleteJulia Allison was in love with herself and her fabricated life - wealthy, fabulous life, rich boyfriend, glamorous job, Manhattan apartment, designer clothes, costumes, makeup... superficial all the way. She no longer has any of that. Her looks are ruined, she has no job, an apartment she can't afford, designer clothes that no longer fit, no man to place on a pedestal, and a "business" in the tank.
ReplyDeleteHer level of self hatred is probably pretty high right now because she placed all of her love and self worth in fleeting material things and never learned to love herself and who she really is... because she has NO idea who she really is. She's a woman who has spent her entire adult life busy chasing after what she can't have. She never focuses on herself and what she really wants. She's like everything that was wrong with the FICTIONAL Sex and the City image, taken to the most ugly extreme. I don't pity her at all.

ReplyDeletePartypants, do not feed the trolls. I know of one person who loves to use profanity and is rabidly obsessed with business school rankings, Chicago and defending the midwest and her name rhymes with Foolia Gallison. Do not feed this troll. She has no trouble feeding herself.
ReplyDeleteLook! Brother bashing covered up as funny family conversation:
ReplyDeleteDad: Britt's really nervous about getting the results for his oral exams this Friday.
Me: Britt showed nerves?? Oh my god. He's human!
Dad: I wouldn't go that far.
Family like this must make anyone wish they were adopted.
Good point, 11:05. Removed.
ReplyDeleteStop the Northwestern B.S. talk. Let's focus on the trainwreck that is Lacy-Allison. And those who said that Lacy is Julia's own "web 2.0" friend left. You are right!
ReplyDeleteThe rest of you with your midwestern bullshit. As a recent NYC (born and bread) to Chicago transplant who once thought and said the same things as you, I must say you're wrong. We're not hicks. STFU.
Again, let's focus on Yoolio and Allison.
The College Board has forums on its website. Go there if you want to discuss rankings.
Re: Scarallison, I just think it's weeeeird how she just gloms onto people and declares the instant friends. It reminds me of those capsules you drop into water that emerge into sponge people. YAY insta-bffs4ever
ReplyDeletemy theory: since mary is out of NS and everyone (even the slower ones) is getting hip to the fact that julia is un-friendable and unlikeable, she is putting all her effort into sarah lacy to show everyone that SHE IS A GOOD FRIEND!!! REALLY!!
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me this over-arching yay.sarah! crap of Jackles is a barely veiled attempt to passively aggressively diss that beyotch Rachel Sklar who is better looking, genuinely more popular, and a far far better/more informed writer than the two of these yelping phonies could ever be, combined.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...family convo quoted above draws a sharp portrait of brother Britt as the anti-Julia. I wonder how that happened. Not. I still shudder a bit when I recall Momser Baugher's quote about Julia sucking up all the air in the room, or something similar.
ReplyDeletepartypants:
ReplyDeletein awe of your instant sponge people analogy.
The only thing remotely interesting about Julia is her family's dysfunction. Julia, spill on the daddy issues, exiled grandma, distanced genius brother, YOUR many obvious issues and you got yourself some readers/page views. I am also sure your family will never speak to you again, but selling out people close to you has never stopped you before.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think it's funny that among all those wide-ranging topics of conversation Julia Allison covered with Sarah Lacy at their Downtown Chicago Condo All-Grrlz Pizza-n-Pajama Party (TM), the obvious topic of the day was omitted?
ReplyDeleteThat would be how Sarah Lacy was so cruelly dissed for her girly-giggly interviewing techniques that very day in the New York Observer--a story that then migrated to the high-profile Romenesko media gossip/reportage site.
Yeah, like they didn't hash that over for hours, plotting various forms of payback.
James: agreed re the Baugher saga. Now THAT's the screenplay.
ReplyDeleteI would love to pitch that screenplay: It's sort of Mommy Dearest meets Lolita meets Village of the Damned meets Spies Like Us
ReplyDeleteNow that SARAH LACY is Julia's bestest new friend ever, will RANDI ZUCKERBERG be somewhat jealous?
ReplyDeleteProbably rather relieved.
ReplyDeleteI'm still amazed how, by posting this conversation snippet with her father, she is seriously trying to make her brother come across as the FREAK of the family. Nice.
That conversation that Julia posted about her brother is so damned sad:
ReplyDeleteMe: Britt showed nerves?? Oh my god. He's human!
Dad: I wouldn't go that far.
Ya you two creeps, we all know Britt is the ONE member of your model family who has a sense of discretion and values his and his friend's privacy. He doesn't willingly pose for widdle Juwia's blog. So ya, HE'S obvs the one with the problem here.
vom.vom
Anon @ 11:45, well he probably is the only normal one in that clan, relatively speaking.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the Baugher Family Dysfunctions that James mentioned above, there's also her mother's apparent disdain for JABA. Then again, that probably has something to do with the weird, creepy father-daughter relationship.
Where is the man trophy shot? Were there no recognizable men at the conference for Julia to race up to and photograph herself with to make people believe she's uber connected?
ReplyDeletenot to be a school snob, but Harvard is the #1 business school, followed by Stanford, which is exactly why those are the ONLY two schools (besides LIU!) that Julia mentioned when thinking about applying to b-school. of course, it turns out that it's hard to get into those schools and requires actual work to apply so, you know, let's never discuss the subject again...
ReplyDelete11:18
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about Rachel Skl. I've heard whispers that she and Julia are no longer speaking.
Jules took the pictures of S.L. (or some short curly haired person) down. Maybe because she realized how pathetic and empty the whole scene looked?
ReplyDeleteTJ Details!!!111
ReplyDelete12:20
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to reveal who has whispered it back and forth to me but several have. There were a couple snarky twits from R.S. to J.A. that were public, however. Also, Rex is Sklar's ex and remains Sk's friend and Rex is known to tease and poke fun at Julia publicly. It's not secret.
Rex Sorgatz named NonSociety/Julia Allison one of his top 100 Websites of 2008. At which point I unfollowed him on Twitter (yeah, I'm sure he's still sobbing over that), thinking him a hopeless dunderhead.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone noticed if you type in morethanmary.tumblr.com it redirects to Nick McGlynn?
ReplyDeleteHey Jackolita, here is your new bff4evah!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://valleywag.gawker.com/5213238/sarah-lacy-is-the-interviewer-elon-musk-was-looking-for
Wow, she seems to have the same defensive, it's-not-me-it's-everyone-else views that you do! AND she styles herself like some sort of younger, thinner version of herself as a Kenley Paperdoll failure. Excellent choice, I am so happy for your new happiness. VERY NICE!
She's probably besties with Nick McDuff. He hits on everyone in sight.
ReplyDeleteGod, they are made for each other...
ReplyDelete"Anyone ever been to Sea World? I was just invited to go in late May. Appropriate for adults? Worth it? :)about 1 hour ago from web"
ReplyDeleteSeriously. I give up on this idiot.
well, she should stay clear of the manatee thing.
ReplyDeletebecause most of the kind creatures there have been through enough already, i mean.
ReplyDeleteOnce she opens her mouth and starts braying a whale is certain to try and mate with her.
ReplyDeleteI can already see the tweet: Dinner with Shamu. Yay.gov.org
ReplyDeleteRe: Sahlia
I'm falling in love with the idea of the two of them as the new (if only we had some) power couple. You go girls!
Oh, are Julia and SARAH LACY off to Sea World together now? They can mate and compare blow holes together!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, was SARAH LACY ever on the Blueprint Cleanse as well? Kinda funny that she and Jules both have somewhat packed on the pounds in the past year or so.
"SAHLIA" - perfect name for the baby they adopt from Whereverakistan.
ReplyDeleteSea World. My God. Why didn't she just ask if anyone's ever been on a rollercoaster. Are they fun?? Should I go on one????
ReplyDeleteUh ... Julia Baugher ... stay away from Sea World. You don't want any mental associations made linking you to words like "whale," "manatee" or "Shamu."
ReplyDeleteWait what if "Sea World" is code for um...fish...saracuda...well crap. I was going to try and make it a lesbian announcement but I'm too drunk.
ReplyDeletebut late may could indeed be the time the magic 11th base is reached :)
ReplyDelete@partypants: hah!
ReplyDeleteWonder if she's going to eat SARAH LACY's fish taco at Sea World. Is it fun?
ReplyDeleteWould that be appropriate for adults? Worth it?
ReplyDeleteSomebody eluded to this earlier: the relationship between Julia and her brother - growing up together in competition for their parent's affection is the KEY to how she turned out this way, I think. In families with two children close in age - one becomes an introvert and the other an extrovert. Its a classic scenario. Her mother was spot on with that quote about Julia 'taking up all the oxygen in the room'. I'm sure this is exactly how it was for him, probably for the whole family. Try imagining what it must be and have been like to be her brother - its not like he asked for the job. I'm sure his personality is very much defined in relation to what it must have been like growing up with her around all the time. I think it also explains Julia's fatuous, pseudo-fascination with the trappings of all things 'intellectual', or whatever - conferences, b-school, online MIT lectures etc. She constantly craves some verification on this level. But he seems to be functioning pretty well as far as I can see, head down, really smart and all that, and will ultimately win this battle in the end when he becomes some brilliant Professor or whatever and Julia turns into Joan Rivers 2.0 without the wit, all bloated on cupcakes and still blogging about it. And also, with Julia, obviously, there seems to be something else that has taken her to this whole other weird level. That part is definitely abnormal.
ReplyDeleteThis Sarah Lacy-Julia thing is only interesting to the extent of waiting to see how it all ends and just how nasty the fall-out.
She is just so needy and insecure - the way she latches on to people and instantly declares her LOVE by broadcasting to the world is pretty creepy.
At some level the parents must have been pretty withholding. But I need to stop this cheap, tawdry psychoanalysis now, before I forget who I'm talking about.
Yo go partypants. Fuck the trolls.
The same woman who used, like, a dozen exclamation points to announce her trip to Legoland is wondering if Sea World is appropriate for adults?
ReplyDeleteThe real question is whether Julia Allison can appropriately be considered an adult.
Oh that Julia! Can't do anything just for the fun of it and has to seek approval.
ReplyDeleteDon Juan, love ya!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I believe that this is Julia's general thought process:
Would that be appropriate for adults? - NO
Worth it? - NO
Sign me up!
I just hope she doesn't start dry-humping a female penguin while she is at Sea World.
@ anon 1:36
ReplyDeleteYep Lacy is another (self induced) victim of the Blueprint Cult.
http://gawker.com/5212193/the-twitterati-scrape-off-a-blueprint-cleanse-stain
Blueprint: Bloating Fameballs since 2000
Blueprint?! The only thing that juice is a blueprint for is how to become as big as a house.
ReplyDeleteCan someone explain to me how you get fat drinking nothing but fricking fruits and veggies? I'm just curious since the vegans I know are all non-bloated twigs. I mean, how do you eff up carrot juice?
ReplyDeletePartypants, the reason these twits proceed to balloon up after going on their stupid juicefasts is because it messes up a body's metabolism after they return to a regular solid food diet.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the fact that Julia/SARAHLACY suppliment their juice diets with junk like cupcakes and girlie cocktails. You can't just swig juice and then shove that fatty junk in your system.
Party pants she's not fat. She's put on weight but she's not fat. Do you even know what fat looks like? I'll happily show you. She's got face bloat and she's gained weight. NOT FAT.
ReplyDeletePP,
ReplyDeleteI have seen this happen in girls obsessed with dieting. Your body decides that there is a famine going on and that it must store everything. Then, a little splurge, like on a cupcake, is packed on. If they just ate normal, balanced meals and didn't deprive themselves of the occasional treat they would look fine. Trying to obsessively control your body is a characteristic of body dysmorphia. Ironically, the exertion of this obsessive control usually leads to the exact problems or flaws that the person is trying to avoid. For instance, obsessing about your nose might lead you to undergo several rhinoplasties, which, in turn, would cause you to develop a freakishly flawed nose, the one thing you were trying to avoid.
but we will all agree that quite the opposite is happening to her body from what we would expect to happen when someone is doing regular intervalls of juice fasting, right? they're doing it WRONG.
ReplyDeleteI never said she was fat. I asked how someone would get fat living on juice. Omg reading comprehension! You'd be better at it if you had attended the number one school, you know.
ReplyDeleteJuice fasting is supposed to lead to weight loss if you use it to supplement a healthy lifestyle in the first place. Alternating juice fasts with lattes and deep dish pizza doesn't really make it effective. When you starve your body by feeding it nothing but juice and then introduce something fatty like a pizza, your body stores up the pizza. Liquid diets also permanently mess up your metabolism, so even when you reintroduce solid foods your body never gets back to normal and you gain all that weight plus some back. Julia Allison is the poster child for that nasty little side effect the website for Blueprint Cleanse conveniently doesn't mention.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Julia's pal Dave Zinczenko could have told her that.
Julia's not fat now, but she looks bloated and has zero muscle tone, which means at the clip she's on, she WILL be fat in another year or so.
Zero muscle tone. Absolutely. And face bloat.
ReplyDeleteNo sleeping, blogging, and juicing following by binges will absolutely lead one in that direction.
How could she have zero muscle tone after doing a few minutes of fauxga (faux + yoga) poses in front of a mirror with her camera, trying to turn on some married billionaire?
ReplyDeleteOff-topic, but someone up there said "rhinoplasty" -- JA has a nose job, for realz?
ReplyDeleteJA has had nose jobs, given handjobs, and, yet, has never held a real job. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteinternet grifter
ReplyDeleteThe problem is using a juice fast like a crash diet. You can feel skinny by only drinking juice for 3 days. Then, you are starving so when you decide to eat again you go overboard and eat dinner with 4 cupcakes for desert. Your body can quickly compensate for the calories you missed. Thats why she gained weight while claiming to be on a million juice fasts.
ReplyDeleteAnd she is kinda fat. Her legs are anyways.
I guess I just assumed it was more of like, a 24 hour juice fast when you're hungover, in between vegetarian eating and moderate exercise. You know, something reasonable.
ReplyDeleteWTF was I thinking.
Julia Baugher has very obviously had a nose job, not to mention veneers, hair extensions and a little botox and fillers to boot. Her "old face" can most obviously be seen here in this old wonkette post:
ReplyDeletehttp://wonkette.com/3620/whos-that-girl-in-pink
I would LOOOOVE it if Jacy or one of the other contributors did a photo collage or timeline to document Julia's transforming looks over the years. From average awkward DC denizen, to glammed up NY gal about town back to bloated average has been.
ReplyDelete@Anon 4:53 - Isn't that what NonSociety is? (But, yeah, a slideshow would be more convenient.)
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget THE ALCOHOL. God, such an enormous waste of money.. these girls might as well be taking diet pills. The point of the juices (questionable as they are, since you can do the same thing on a steady week-long diet of fruits in moderation, veggies and salad by the ton, and little bits of protein) is to kill cravings so you can start forming better eating habits. Sarah was talking about having ordered a new shipment of Blueprint not even 5 days before Julia was remarking on her persuading her to drink. Between the two they are the WORST advertisement for this company since they are unabashed in supplementing their "all juice" meals with pure sugar and calories in the form of alcohol and junk food. Sponsorship faaaail.. at least in Julia's case, uber fail on Sarah for not doing her own due diligence and ultimately being a sheep.
ReplyDeleteAnon 10.11am - "Well-padded upper arms"?
