NO WAY! SHE. IS. PERFECT.
This bandit must be stopped! No my darling, it is the world that is blessed by your presence. Never forget that one important rule to live by. I. am. quivering. in. this. dusty. vestibule. just. thinking. about. you.
Of course she feels blessed! She is traveling around on someone else's dime. Being put up for free on conference revenue and friend revenue will make jobless, penniless person feel very blessed.
The people who edit TMI have a serious hard on (and not in a good way) for Julia. The title BEYOND THERAPY falling directly under Julia was by no means an accident. They definitely hate her.
I think Julia needs to marry a loaded psychologist/psychoanalyst who is prepared to treat her as his life's work. It's win-win. She gets someone rich (young and handsome might be out of the question at this point Jules, sorry!) and devoted to her needs. He gets a case-study that, if he makes any breakthrough, will catapult him into the stratosphere.
Looks like jules will be on CBS tomorrow (that must have been what she was filming)
hbjules Finished all my tivo.Lost was crazy!!!! I'm calling it a day.Watch Julia Allison's RECESSION DATING on the CBS early morning show 8:35EST: ) about 22 hours ago from web
My field is therapy and this episode put me to sleep. It was a snooze fest, I agree 12:20. Usually the wild editing annoys me or the yoolio's braying but in this one, the girls just looked dead.

They use your "a woman's world" logo ALL THE TIME, and I really don't appreciate it because I know your graphic designs work hard, and this other website is not paying to use your graphic designers' work.
Frito Lay's website is CERTAINLY not the only company whose work has been victimized, but I'm hoping that by getting in touch with you it will be one of the last.
Leave Sarah Hendrick alone! She hasn't been around for awhile, but she's still on our side, which is the important part.
I'm actually surprised emails haven't gone out by the truckload chastising AWW for bothering to "sponsor" episodes of TMI. Their ad dollars (if they're even paying) would have been better spent elsewhere. Then again, the woman's world site looks like it was created purely to have an angle for women... to encourage them to purchase Frito-Lay chips. Maybe it is appropriate.
1. I have only ever seen the one video of JA and I refuse to watch any more. 2. So...is she down to like 4 dresses in her closet now or something? Just asking, since we've seen the same 2 about 739 times in the past two weeks. 3. Lizzie Bordon didn't go to traditional therapy either.
Partypants, I think they filmed all of these episodes on the same day. Hence the repeated outfits. If they were smart...they'd change for each episode or at least mix the episodes up.
I cannot make myself watch this, but I don't need to watch it to say that I HATE that green dress and that necklace, something that Bree Van De Camp would not be caught dead in and yet she looks like a cheap imitation of just that character now. Did she jump directly from the Gossip Girl phase to Desperate Housewifes? Can't she simply dress like any normal person her age and life phase would???
Frannie I think we all learned from Hamily that if you are trying to stand out, and you have no talents or skills that help you do so, all you can do is try to set yourself apart with your oh-so-unique "style".
The trouble is you run the risk of being that chick in high school who always dressed like Stevie Nicks if Stevie were playing basketball AND the tamborine while riding a motorcycle. But hey, I er, I mean YOU gotta stand out somehow.

Baugher Bingo International Edition Update. Give yourselves a square:
1. Meghan uses the word "cheerio." 2. Lack of blogging blamed on technical problems. 3. Julia asks "readers" what she should do in London today. "Don't say Topshop." (Heh. Is she reading over here?) 4. Julia begs for "hot British friend" to show her around. Asks them to "ring" her. 5. And just for good measure... tweets Kevin Rose. The stalking knows no borders.
I’m in the middle of reading NY magazine’s Facebook cover story, and was floored the following idea, which I’ve paraphrased here:
If they charged JUST $1 A MONTH - that’s $12 a year - for being a member - and lost a full HALF of its users, Facebook would rake in $100 million. Each month.
Holy shit.
The subscription model is really intriguing. I would pay $12 for a year of Facebook. (Hell, I’d pay more than that. I just paid $65 for Vimeo plus!!) It’s SUCH a no-brainer.
Why haven’t I heard anyone talking about this?! Am I totally out of it!??! ----------------------------
YES, JULIA, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE TALKING ABOUT MICRO PAYMENTS. God, call your ex friend's boyfriend Rex whose been talking about this for months and citing a billion articles on the matter. But, no, YOU DISCOVERED IT. And you are out of it. And no one will ever pay 1 cent for NS. So get that thought out of your head. You need a product people can't live without for micropayments to work and even then it's iffy.
Kate, MSW (for some reason I know more than this than you which is scary since it's not my field).
Not the episodes 7:38, it's easy enough for them to get dress pulls for their videos and events. It's more that she's stated (in foreign press only, naturally and not at all suprisingly) that she can't wear outfits x amount of times due to her celebrity media personality status. She states this very generally, as if it applies to daily life too. It kind of does since her "life" is her business, thus making her donning of that same dress from the Denmark conference a million times in the past 2 months alone very, very funny.
Also agreed with 7:46 - dress is fug and I think she was going for a sophisticated look with it. Unfortunately it didn't work; she looks like she's trying too hard and dressing way past her figurative age, particularly in comparison to how she acts and portrays herself - that is, much like a child. Little Mermaid obsession and repost of the same old lipdubs doesn't lead us to believe this conservative dress, complete with fake pearls that have become her standard, is at all legit. Another Charlotte York fail, except Char is cute in her naivete and JA is just trying to be her. Char is a made up character, we know Kristen Davis is not Charlotte York - that Julia is set on emulating this character is 10x more pathetic.
Also, this freakin episode. I understand that this is supposed to be a roundtable and discussion type of show, but they should really be looking at the camera and out at the audience (who they're supposedly talking to or engaging) rather than each other more ofen than not. I liked how when it came to this episode, Mary kept looking at Julia when it came to finding the right fit for therapists and being honest, lest therapy be a complete waste of time and money. First of all, we all know Julia's thoughts on actual therapy. It isn't like she can't afford it, she'd just sooner get something less titled (first time for that, shocking) than a therapist since falling into that might imply she has issues and therefore isn't a perfect person. Instead she'll get life coaches, business coaches, media consultants; all people that will help you function in the world for sure, but can't really get to the psychological root of your issues and how childhood patterns and hurts are revealing themselves in your present. They aren't trained for that, haven't studied it and it simply isn't their job, hence the "coach" part of it. She stigmatizes everything and that's why she won't ever really get help. She can admit to the world she has a business coach, and that's acceptable because it makes her look like she's just too busy, too popular and too important to control all of this herself. It's the same as her getting "interns" (seriously, wtf for) or wanting/claiming to need a personal assistant. If she were to say she had a therapist (notice her generalizations, therapist is interchangable with life/biz/media coach for her) it would lend credence to the varying opinions people have made about her psychological states. Another thing, these are women who claim to want to be extremely successful in their careers. Relationships are work, some stress due to conflict, and require attention in order to maintain them. I don't say they shouldn't pursue them, nor do I knock anyone who goes for that and is successful, but I think it's pretty clear these girls can't handle both and put out the impression that they want the career while implying in every other way through their words and actions that they're beyond frustrated at not having a man. I don't know because I don't watch all these eps, but has there ever been one where they don't mention guys or a past date? It's like part of their esteem comes from having a man, and that alone is unhealthy. Part of a good relationship is two individual people who can come together; not depedency on someone else to make you happy, not even co-dependence in a relationship. If you aren't a complete person, no guy you can convince to date you long-term will do it for you. The same flaws you have will pervade the relationship and they will move on to someone who at least seems to know who they are and have their shit together.
This was entirely too long, but they are ridiculous. I don't know how I see and feel these things when I'm so much younger than they are.
Julia is an idiot. People will hardly view her crap site for free, never mind having to pay for that shit. And REALLY? The girl who trades in FREE STUFF to try and get money or something she really wants instead is talking about how she'd pay for facebook? I just fell out. No Julia, you paid for Vimeo Pro because you're self-obsessed and are probably pushing the free limit with all the videos you have hosted on there within the past two years at this point. You announced it to stick it to Jake who started it (and who you hope is reading, but isn't) but no longer works for the company. Not because you believe in the service. I'm SO SURE her support for facebook has nothing to do with her sucking up to the Zucks in light of what was a completely unflattering NYM cover and article. Bitch please. She doesn't actually use Facebook FOR anything tangible, but yeah, fahsure she'll be all over paying for it should that ever happen. Or wait, no, convincing the Zucks that she's great publicity for the service and should be exempt from paying if subscribing becomes a requirement! GO AWAY.
HAR. I would LOVE Julia attempt to implement micropayments for Nonsociety. It would truly give an accurate picture of her "fan base" and just how few people would be willing to pay for her shitty "content." PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do this Julia!
Yeah, she'd be down to pay what equates to a drop in the bucket for her, for a year. Maybe they should make it $12 a month and we can see how gung-ho she is about that.
Julia, you claim to be a journalist. Please take a basic writing class as a refresher and learn to use just a bit less punctuation in your posts. The constant use of em dashes and parenthesis is incredibly sloppy and irritating. It only serves as more proof of why you got fired from all of your previous writing gigs. If your blog serves as your online portfolio of sorts, most of what you write there looks very unprofessional and amateurish.
lol she doesn't do anything to need vimeo plus. it wouldn't surprise me if she chose to upgrade for this reason alone:
"domain level privacy - Choose exactly where your videos can be embedded on the web. There are no limits to the number of websites you can choose and you'll always have complete control of your video outside of Vimeo. You even have the option to completely hide your video on Vimeo.com so it will only show up on the sites you want it to, and nowhere else."
Also this morning: ket's not leave out her ripping on an Italian journo's English for an alleged interview Jackles' is supposedly doing for that journo's pub on her blog (don't worry Jackles' i am sure that journo won't look at your blog).
I am sure there is a bingo square for this one somewhere on Baugher bingo.
"I wish Air France had wireless" shout-out to Virgin America, which sponsors us (though not on this trip) and DOES!!!!
I love that she's reading Seth Godin. He is anti everything Foolia is about, she will absorb and take away absolutely nothing from his words. As for the rest of her reading, she isn't an innovator just a copycat, sycophant and plagiarizer. She will never appear in Fast Company. Wired? Gee, wonder why that's among what she's reading.
She should really get on to crowdsourcing ideas for that Marie Claire "interview". She wouldn't have the slightest idea how to honestly answer ANY of those questions. For those who don't want to give a PV, they are...
1 What is your relaxing secret in this hard times? 2 What is your way of escape? 3 What is the most relaxing physical activity? 4 What is your mantra of relax and to fight the stress? 5 Can you tell me a taste, a scent, and a music that creates harmony in you?
I think someone mentioned on a previous post about how Julia's tastes in literature don't extend beyond cheesy overexposed business books - give yourself a Baugher Bingo square for that one, too!
Dear Julia Allison: reading all the silly Seth Godin books in the world won't make you smarter or give you business savvy. You're not a female Kevin Rose, David Karp or Jacob Lodwick. You're a lazy scam artist and a huckster.
She is reposting all her old videos as "Best of" because she was thin and attractive in them, and she had access to stuff worth recording. Do you see her being invited to Gawker parties, or store openings, or interviewing celebs? No, you see her coke bloated ass schleping around in the same 3 dresses trying to beg her way back to relevancy.
Get real. Any performer will tell you that "Best of" means "yip, done used up all my talent so here's the only shit o' mine worth anything".
LOL good point 8:56. In a span of 2-3 years she's gone from lip dubs of popularish songs to no-makeup and glasses whining on video about "soul-crushing" realities being laid bare on the internet, where she's chosen to expose and force herself on people who would prefer she just disappear. Is there even a "best of" when you just kinda suck as a person?
HA anon 9:18 - in the Baugher Bingo update, I did not even click on that tweet to see who it was to. A creepy celebristalk gives it a whole new level of crazytimes.
Twitstalking Ed Westwick: "@callmebritish - you must have a hot single friend in London who wants to play hooky from work today & show me around. Tell them to ring me! about 4 hours ago from web"
Yes - because Ed is your friend and he's going to introduce you to his friends. And they will be so smitten with you they'll take the day off work and give you a nice tour and a shag. Riiiight.
She's not so much laughable as she is a sort of sad and worrisome lunatic. Really... WHERE ARE HER PARENTS??
That cuckoo Ed Westwick stalk tweet deserves its own post. We miss you Jacy! Calling Russian Girl, Michael McDonald or Brother Britt to give it the proper coverage it deserves!
And I honestly thought she might have tweeted some American ex-pat living and working in the UK. I really am too naive for this world. What makes her even consider such a tweet as remotely appropriate? And what is it with the pseudo-familiarty? "Tell them to ring me". I he supposed to know a) who she is and b)how to get hold of her? What was he supposed to tell his friends: Look, I received this from some female I have never heard of, but go ahead and contact her, maybe you'll get lucky? This regarding herself as god's gift to huMANity is appalling to say the least.
Jesus...can you IMAGINE what her "Direct Message" sent box must look like? I wonder how many times she has sent her phone (excuse her Apple iPhone) number to celebrities? At least I just get drunk and post it publicly to my twitter. She creepystalks people who clearly don't know/care!
Gawd... Julia's Ed tweetstalk sounds like an ad for an escort agency. Not sure if any hot 20 something Brits want to spend the day showing their city to a washed up old hag though.
Isn't she on her way back to the US by now anyway? The other one surely is: "My view from the cab on my way to the airport this morning. Regrettably, I spent less than 24 hours in lovely London".
I think Julia has an extra day in London. She's spent the last few days crazily tweeting her real (and imagined) friends to meet up. Really... does that need to be public? Wouldn't a simple email or call to a friend suffice? When you try to publicly make plans with friends to show the world you have friends, it sort of backfires on you when everyone ignores you.
How do you do the search to see if anyone replies to Julia's constant twitter calls for advice, company, dinner, etc?
I want to know if these two live in a black hole, because no matter where the hell they are there is no wi-fi. My dad in Blanket, TX can get wifi IN HIS BASEMENT. Hell, you can get wi-fi on the effin moon, how can they not seem to connect in major cities around the world?
Yeah, the Only in a Woman's World is one of the most highly-offensive ad campaigns I've ever seen. I'm tired of being seen as the "Other" who only cares about weight and men! Shit!
Also, people calling Julia beautiful or gorgeous really annoys me, like that freshman kid who did that column on their date. He's falling all over himself saying she's pretty. Maybe people are uglier up North? because there are pretty girls everywhere down here in Texas. Is it really that unusual or remarkable?
Yes, I now believe that Meghanaise and Yoolio live in a vortex where batteries lose their power INSTANTLY and Wifi never works. It's a disability! They are unable to perform the necessary duties of their job by no fault of their own. It's not their fault that they live in a vortex that sucks in power and signals and ROYGBIV and what does it not suck in?
Texas girl... no kidding. I live in the deep south and gorgeous girls are everywhere here. Really... it's crazy how many insanely pretty girls there are in the south. Julia wouldn't get a second look from most guys, even when she was in college and especially not now. People call D.C. "Hollywood for ugly people" for a reason...
It's kinda embarrassng that you post pictures of the books you've completed to show that your a fast reader! That's something that is developmentally appropriate in 1st-5th grade (I have Masters in Teaching and Social Work) but beyond that it's kinda pathetic.... Also, you read the same books that my brother in finance does. Anti intellectual psuedo business crap. It's like Guy Kawaski is providing you with your life syllabus and that's not a good thing!
I know I'm probably way behind with this but why on earth is Mary still stuck with the f-ing light boxes!!!! I know she's leaving blah blah blah but it looks ridiculous to have a third of your site running behind!
Give yourself a square in Baugher Bingo if you predicted Julia could not go more than a week without mentioning her ex Alex. Weren't we JUST talking about sad, creepy, stalkerish behavior...
WTF. She really can't restrain herself even after he and his current girlfriends have made it crystal clear they find her behavior freaky and disrespectful? Why can't she just say "someone I know", "my friend". Nope, it has to be MY EX ALEX. Ay de mi. No wonder she can never move on with her life... woman will perpetually live in the past.
This one made me laugh: "The whole thing - what Josh Harris did - is beyond frightening to me, and my experiences on the internet are a mere toe in the water compared to him. After watching this trailer (hell, even before watching it), I’m so thankful I’ve never gone further.
I just don’t know what good can come from it."
Gee, if you don't know by now.. keep keeping on in a similar fashion for another 10 years. Maybe you'll start to "get it" then, if not through your own recognition than through the rude awakening you will no doubt receive.
but I do think mary is not allowed to have a working sight/site/cite.
and for someone who's quitting, she doesn't seem to be going anywhere, where else is she going to go where she can justify working out as the actual work?
Heehee. Trainwrecks just pointed out that one of the 3 airport books that Julia, insatiable reader and intellect that she is, devoured on this trip is one that she already pictured in November on NS, heavily annotated with her provocative and perspicacious musings. Go see; funny!
Yeah, the synopsis doesn't match the trailer. The trailer is about some project he did where he threw humans in boxes and filmed them 24/7. I won't be seeing it.
If I remember correctly, the first time she posted reading "Buyology" (complete with her notes scrawled across the book) was during her obsession/delusion with Harvard B-School. Showing how she takes notes while she reads was proof of what a consummate student she is. But, as all of us long familiar with Julia's antics know, "consummate" is a word she doesn't really live up to.
This bandit must be stopped!
No my darling, it is the world that is blessed by your presence. Never forget that one important rule to live by. I. am. quivering. in. this. dusty. vestibule. just. thinking. about. you.
Queen for a day.
ReplyDeleteOf course she feels blessed! She is traveling around on someone else's dime. Being put up for free on conference revenue and friend revenue will make jobless, penniless person feel very blessed.

Ha! Mary's thought is misspelled.
ReplyDeleteI think Julia needs to marry a loaded psychologist/psychoanalyst who is prepared to treat her as his life's work. It's win-win. She gets someone rich (young and handsome might be out of the question at this point Jules, sorry!) and devoted to her needs.

why is michael mcdonald still posting. please stop. u arent even funny.
ReplyDeleteLOL JINGY @ 8:28
ReplyDeleteThe titles are always aligned to the left, I think. They're certainly never aligned in the center. Does that mean they hate Meghan?
ReplyDeleteNo, Meghan always gets the triangle looking peen in the center because she is constantly horny.

This TMI was awful. Can someone tell me what point they are trying to make? Is it...
ReplyDeleteWe like therapy?
You should "lifecast" so you too can have some life coach help you for "free"?
Perhaps we should just talk about men and avoid the pink elephant in the room that really needs therapy?
My field is therapy and this episode put me to sleep. It was a snooze fest, I agree 12:20. Usually the wild editing annoys me or the yoolio's braying but in this one, the girls just looked dead.

I liked how when it came to this episode, Mary kept looking at Julia when it came to finding the right fit for therapists and being honest, lest therapy be a complete waste of time and money. First of all, we all know Julia's thoughts on actual therapy. It isn't like she can't afford it, she'd just sooner get something less titled (first time for that, shocking) than a therapist since falling into that might imply she has issues and therefore isn't a perfect person. Instead she'll get life coaches, business coaches, media consultants; all people that will help you function in the world for sure, but can't really get to the psychological root of your issues and how childhood patterns and hurts are revealing themselves in your present. They aren't trained for that, haven't studied it and it simply isn't their job, hence the "coach" part of it. She stigmatizes everything and that's why she won't ever really get help. She can admit to the world she has a business coach, and that's acceptable because it makes her look like she's just too busy, too popular and too important to control all of this herself. It's the same as her getting "interns" (seriously, wtf for) or wanting/claiming to need a personal assistant. If she were to say she had a therapist (notice her generalizations, therapist is interchangable with life/biz/media coach for her) it would lend credence to the varying opinions people have made about her psychological states. Another thing, these are women who claim to want to be extremely successful in their careers. Relationships are work, some stress due to conflict, and require attention in order to maintain them. I don't say they shouldn't pursue them, nor do I knock anyone who goes for that and is successful, but I think it's pretty clear these girls can't handle both and put out the impression that they want the career while implying in every other way through their words and actions that they're beyond frustrated at not having a man. I don't know because I don't watch all these eps, but has there ever been one where they don't mention guys or a past date? It's like part of their esteem comes from having a man, and that alone is unhealthy. Part of a good relationship is two individual people who can come together; not depedency on someone else to make you happy, not even co-dependence in a relationship. If you aren't a complete person, no guy you can convince to date you long-term will do it for you. The same flaws you have will pervade the relationship and they will move on to someone who at least seems to know who they are and have their shit together.
This was entirely too long, but they are ridiculous. I don't know how I see and feel these things when I'm so much younger than they are.
Julia is an idiot. People will hardly view her crap site for free, never mind having to pay for that shit. And REALLY? The girl who trades in FREE STUFF to try and get money or something she really wants instead is talking about how she'd pay for facebook? I just fell out. No Julia, you paid for Vimeo Pro because you're self-obsessed and are probably pushing the free limit with all the videos you have hosted on there within the past two years at this point. You announced it to stick it to Jake who started it (and who you hope is reading, but isn't) but no longer works for the company. Not because you believe in the service. I'm SO SURE her support for facebook has nothing to do with her sucking up to the Zucks in light of what was a completely unflattering NYM cover and article. Bitch please. She doesn't actually use Facebook FOR anything tangible, but yeah, fahsure she'll be all over paying for it should that ever happen. Or wait, no, convincing the Zucks that she's great publicity for the service and should be exempt from paying if subscribing becomes a requirement! GO AWAY.
ReplyDeleteHAR. I would LOVE Julia attempt to implement micropayments for Nonsociety. It would truly give an accurate picture of her "fan base" and just how few people would be willing to pay for her shitty "content." PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do this Julia!
ReplyDeleteYeah, she'd be down to pay what equates to a drop in the bucket for her, for a year. Maybe they should make it $12 a month and we can see how gung-ho she is about that.
ReplyDeleteJulia, you claim to be a journalist. Please take a basic writing class as a refresher and learn to use just a bit less punctuation in your posts. The constant use of em dashes and parenthesis is incredibly sloppy and irritating. It only serves as more proof of why you got fired from all of your previous writing gigs. If your blog serves as your online portfolio of sorts, most of what you write there looks very unprofessional and amateurish.
ReplyDeletelol she doesn't do anything to need vimeo plus. it wouldn't surprise me if she chose to upgrade for this reason alone:
ReplyDelete"domain level privacy - Choose exactly where your videos can be embedded on the web. There are no limits to the number of websites you can choose and you'll always have complete control of your video outside of Vimeo. You even have the option to completely hide your video on Vimeo.com so it will only show up on the sites you want it to, and nowhere else."
Also this morning: ket's not leave out her ripping on an Italian journo's English for an alleged interview Jackles' is supposedly doing for that journo's pub on her blog (don't worry Jackles' i am sure that journo won't look at your blog).
ReplyDeleteI am sure there is a bingo square for this one somewhere on Baugher bingo.
What a dumb, classless seaward.
Wow. Her meeting in London was serious.
ReplyDeleteJeepers, peanut butter toast and typing don't go together.
ReplyDelete'Let's' people. LET'S!
"I wish Air France had wireless" shout-out to Virgin America, which sponsors us (though not on this trip) and DOES!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that she's reading Seth Godin. He is anti everything Foolia is about, she will absorb and take away absolutely nothing from his words. As for the rest of her reading, she isn't an innovator just a copycat, sycophant and plagiarizer. She will never appear in Fast Company. Wired? Gee, wonder why that's among what she's reading.
She should really get on to crowdsourcing ideas for that Marie Claire "interview". She wouldn't have the slightest idea how to honestly answer ANY of those questions. For those who don't want to give a PV, they are...
1 What is your relaxing secret in this hard times?
2 What is your way of escape?
3 What is the most relaxing physical activity?
4 What is your mantra of relax and to fight the stress?
5 Can you tell me a taste, a scent, and a music that creates harmony in you?
I think someone mentioned on a previous post about how Julia's tastes in literature don't extend beyond cheesy overexposed business books - give yourself a Baugher Bingo square for that one, too!
ReplyDeleteDear Julia Allison: reading all the silly Seth Godin books in the world won't make you smarter or give you business savvy. You're not a female Kevin Rose, David Karp or Jacob Lodwick. You're a lazy scam artist and a huckster.
She is reposting all her old videos as "Best of" because she was thin and attractive in them, and she had access to stuff worth recording. Do you see her being invited to Gawker parties, or store openings, or interviewing celebs? No, you see her coke bloated ass schleping around in the same 3 dresses trying to beg her way back to relevancy.
ReplyDeleteGet real. Any performer will tell you that "Best of" means "yip, done used up all my talent so here's the only shit o' mine worth anything".
LOL good point 8:56. In a span of 2-3 years she's gone from lip dubs of popularish songs to no-makeup and glasses whining on video about "soul-crushing" realities being laid bare on the internet, where she's chosen to expose and force herself on people who would prefer she just disappear. Is there even a "best of" when you just kinda suck as a person?
ReplyDeleteOh God, now she's starting to tweet to Ed Westwick- you know, the unaware father of her future spawn.
ReplyDeleteShe really is laughable.
HA anon 9:18 - in the Baugher Bingo update, I did not even click on that tweet to see who it was to. A creepy celebristalk gives it a whole new level of crazytimes.
ReplyDeleteTwitstalking Ed Westwick:
"@callmebritish - you must have a hot single friend in London who wants to play hooky from work today & show me around. Tell them to ring me!
about 4 hours ago from web"
Yes - because Ed is your friend and he's going to introduce you to his friends. And they will be so smitten with you they'll take the day off work and give you a nice tour and a shag. Riiiight.
She's not so much laughable as she is a sort of sad and worrisome lunatic. Really... WHERE ARE HER PARENTS??
Good question James! Not to mention the fact that she's pushing 30 and single, while he's just 21 and in a relationship.
ReplyDeleteThat cuckoo Ed Westwick stalk tweet deserves its own post. We miss you Jacy! Calling Russian Girl, Michael McDonald or Brother Britt to give it the proper coverage it deserves!
ReplyDeleteAnd I honestly thought she might have tweeted some American ex-pat living and working in the UK. I really am too naive for this world.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes her even consider such a tweet as remotely appropriate? And what is it with the pseudo-familiarty? "Tell them to ring me". I he supposed to know a) who she is and b)how to get hold of her? What was he supposed to tell his friends: Look, I received this from some female I have never heard of, but go ahead and contact her, maybe you'll get lucky? This regarding herself as god's gift to huMANity is appalling to say the least.
Julia Baugher is the female version of John Fitzgerald Page:
ReplyDeletehttp://gawker.com/tag/john-fitzgerald-page/
Jesus...can you IMAGINE what her "Direct Message" sent box must look like? I wonder how many times she has sent her phone (excuse her Apple iPhone) number to celebrities? At least I just get drunk and post it publicly to my twitter. She creepystalks people who clearly don't know/care!
ReplyDelete9.45: Heee!
ReplyDeleteGawd... Julia's Ed tweetstalk sounds like an ad for an escort agency. Not sure if any hot 20 something Brits want to spend the day showing their city to a washed up old hag though.
ReplyDeleteIsn't she on her way back to the US by now anyway? The other one surely is: "My view from the cab on my way to the airport this morning. Regrettably, I spent less than 24 hours in lovely London".
ReplyDeleteI think Julia has an extra day in London. She's spent the last few days crazily tweeting her real (and imagined) friends to meet up. Really... does that need to be public? Wouldn't a simple email or call to a friend suffice? When you try to publicly make plans with friends to show the world you have friends, it sort of backfires on you when everyone ignores you.
ReplyDeleteHow do you do the search to see if anyone replies to Julia's constant twitter calls for advice, company, dinner, etc?
I want to know if these two live in a black hole, because no matter where the hell they are there is no wi-fi. My dad in Blanket, TX can get wifi IN HIS BASEMENT. Hell, you can get wi-fi on the effin moon, how can they not seem to connect in major cities around the world?
ReplyDeleteJules, if it makes you happy why are you so effing Sad?
ReplyDeleteSadly, Ed Westwick has not tweeted Julia Allison back.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.icerocket.com/search?tab=twitter&lng=&q=%40juliaallison&x=28&y=14
That Frito Lay site is a mess. It and the fact that they are advertising with Julia Allison shows they really have zero clue what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Only in a Woman's World is one of the most highly-offensive ad campaigns I've ever seen. I'm tired of being seen as the "Other" who only cares about weight and men! Shit!
ReplyDeleteAlso, people calling Julia beautiful or gorgeous really annoys me, like that freshman kid who did that column on their date. He's falling all over himself saying she's pretty. Maybe people are uglier up North? because there are pretty girls everywhere down here in Texas. Is it really that unusual or remarkable?
10:06 Partypants,
ReplyDeleteYes, I now believe that Meghanaise and Yoolio live in a vortex where batteries lose their power INSTANTLY and Wifi never works. It's a disability! They are unable to perform the necessary duties of their job by no fault of their own. It's not their fault that they live in a vortex that sucks in power and signals and ROYGBIV and what does it not suck in?
Texas girl... no kidding. I live in the deep south and gorgeous girls are everywhere here. Really... it's crazy how many insanely pretty girls there are in the south. Julia wouldn't get a second look from most guys, even when she was in college and especially not now. People call D.C. "Hollywood for ugly people" for a reason...
ReplyDeleteJulia,
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda embarrassng that you post pictures of the books you've completed to show that your a fast reader! That's something that is developmentally appropriate in 1st-5th grade (I have Masters in Teaching and Social Work) but beyond that it's kinda pathetic....
Also, you read the same books that my brother in finance does. Anti intellectual psuedo business crap. It's like Guy Kawaski is providing you with your life syllabus and that's not a good thing!
*you're a fast reader.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm probably way behind with this but why on earth is Mary still stuck with the f-ing light boxes!!!! I know she's leaving blah blah blah but it looks ridiculous to have a third of your site running behind!
ReplyDelete11:55
ReplyDeleteShe's not aloud out of the lifebox until she leaves NS which will probably be soon when krystal jumps into the mix.
It must kill Julia that Jakob is living in a fabulous new apartment with his creative and interesting girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteJing, I don't know if that was an intentional mistake, but I'm forever going to now be referring to their lightboxes as "lifeboxes" hahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteGive yourself a square in Baugher Bingo if you predicted Julia could not go more than a week without mentioning her ex Alex. Weren't we JUST talking about sad, creepy, stalkerish behavior...
ReplyDeleteWTF. She really can't restrain herself even after he and his current girlfriends have made it crystal clear they find her behavior freaky and disrespectful? Why can't she just say "someone I know", "my friend". Nope, it has to be MY EX ALEX. Ay de mi. No wonder she can never move on with her life... woman will perpetually live in the past.
ReplyDeleteThis one made me laugh:
"The whole thing - what Josh Harris did - is beyond frightening to me, and my experiences on the internet are a mere toe in the water compared to him. After watching this trailer (hell, even before watching it), I’m so thankful I’ve never gone further.
I just don’t know what good can come from it."
Gee, if you don't know by now.. keep keeping on in a similar fashion for another 10 years. Maybe you'll start to "get it" then, if not through your own recognition than through the rude awakening you will no doubt receive.
@Anon 12:37PM:
ReplyDeleteAnd I will forever refer to them as "cardboard boxes" in honor of Mary's perpetual homelessness.
12:59, did you watch the trailer? what's it about?
ReplyDeleteI don't think K is replacing mary--
ReplyDeletebut I do think mary is not allowed to have a working sight/site/cite.
and for someone who's quitting, she doesn't seem to be going anywhere, where else is she going to go where she can justify working out as the actual work?
"We Live in Public" Trailer
ReplyDeletehttp://tinyurl.com/c6bj5k
1:11, i can't watch videos at work...that's why i wanted to know what it's about
ReplyDeletea documentary about josh harris and how the internet affects human interaction, detailed synopsis here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0498329/synopsis
ReplyDeleteApparently they also interviewed JA for this, I wonder if she made it into the final version.
ReplyDeleteHeehee. Trainwrecks just pointed out that one of the 3 airport books that Julia, insatiable reader and intellect that she is, devoured on this trip is one that she already pictured in November on NS, heavily annotated with her provocative and perspicacious musings. Go see; funny!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the synopsis doesn't match the trailer. The trailer is about some project he did where he threw humans in boxes and filmed them 24/7. I won't be seeing it.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just wow. I'm laughing myself to tears here.
ReplyDeleteSo how can she still honestly claim to be surprised by people making fun of her?
I think she must have some kind of problem moving short-term memories into long-term storage.
ReplyDeleteHAHAH! "Lifebox" was a typo but I must DEMAND that we all refer to light boxes as lifeboxes from now on.
ReplyDeleteThe Trainwrecks post is amazing. Julia already claimed to read one of her 3 airport books! http://trainwrecks.tumblr.com/
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:43--I've thought the same thing for years. That's why we need to be custodians of her faulty memory.
ReplyDeleteMary lives in a cardboard lifebox.
ReplyDeleteJulia lives in a padded 12X12 lifebox.
Meghan lives in a lettuce lifebox.
Re: Buyology glitch:
ReplyDeleteThat lady is her own worst enemy.
So for some reason Julia Baugher feels the need to lie about rapidly reading the same lame airport book?
ReplyDeleteWHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY????
James,
ReplyDeleteMeghan lives in a Faraday lifecage.
If I remember correctly, the first time she posted reading "Buyology" (complete with her notes scrawled across the book) was during her obsession/delusion with Harvard B-School. Showing how she takes notes while she reads was proof of what a consummate student she is. But, as all of us long familiar with Julia's antics know, "consummate" is a word she doesn't really live up to.
ReplyDeleteHer notes in the Buyology book are fantastic! Take a closer look..."Oprah ex.", "friends of O", "SELF FIRST", "contextual ads", "* personalities"...
ReplyDeleteYes - Julia's "takeaways" from Buyology are hilarious. They are basic common sense! And they don't apply to her at all.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of her notes:
"A. Consumers make majority of purchasing decisions based on recs. of friends." DUH. Too bad no one considers your online presence that of a "friend."
"B. People are aspirational to people somewhat like them." Until you realize no one really wants to be like you - a panty stealing bum.
"C. Products don't sell. Personalities sell." Not in this economy... or any economy.
Don't forget, 4:20, it's pretty hard to sell a personality (personalities?) that suck.
ReplyDelete
