Julia: What a Difference a Year Makes, The Sequel

Here's Jackles last year, almost exactly a year ago. Pretty dress; very glam. Prestigious event, the Gracie Allen Awards. Carb-face at a minimum, no excessive wonk eye in evidence, no bad miniskirt, no tired Kissy-Face, Braying Donkey or Blowing-Kisses poses in place. Very nice!





And here she is today, hanging out with Mommy bloggers at Sea World on a humiliating bray-for-pay junket. Not that there's anything wrong with Mommy bloggers! Dooce and Pioneer Woman are awesome! But you just know that Jackles is filled with enough bile right now to feed a dozen manatees.



And then there's this. It's a far cry from the red carpet, but she's working it anyway. Bless her heart.

  1. Why she insists on showcasing those legs, I cannot fathom.

  3. Skinny blogger in the center gets the disclosure part down:
    http://www.gwenbell.com/
    ----
    In the effort of full disclosure - everything I tweet, touch or blog from now until the time I leave Florida on Saturday - has been paid for and brought to you by - Anheuser-Busch. Which owns (among many other brands) SeaWorld. Which is opening up a new ride called Manta and…has invited some New Media folks down to sunny Florida to cover the event.
    -----

    Julia Allison? It's day two of her trip and I have yet to see any mention of Iza or Sea World disclosure on her blog, except for a link to the Izea ethics policy, which states:
    ---
    Every sponsored conversation facilitated directly by IZEA or through one of our services is required to have disclosure. Bloggers that do not disclose are not permitted to participate in any IZEA sponsored conversation and will be removed from our network.
    -----

    WHERE IS YOUR DISCLOSURE JULIA?????

  5. I was at the Gracie Allen Awards last year as well. It's a highly prestigious event honoring women in media and journalism. War reporters, amazing producers, news anchors -- you know, real journalists.

    She was there too? For WHAT?

  6. I Love The Comment SheriffMay 21, 2009 at 3:08 PM

    I hesitate to mention this but it's so nice in here today without those crazy trolls pissing all over the place. I am so glad the Comment Sheriff is riding herd! He's hot, too! Maybe Foolia could ponder him as potential husband material. I am sure he wouldn't mind if she let herself go.

  7. It's strange how easily Julia blends in with pasty, nerdy bloggers, isn't it?

  8. What part of web 2.0 innovator do you not understand? She was, and IS the first woman writer to put her life online. She is the first woman to create a blog and post pics of herself, and make money from it. She bravely paved the way for pale imitations like iJustine, that chick who posts her daily outfit, and Belle in the City chick. She's a friggin pioneer woman, bravely driving her pink wagon towards her manifest dysentery.

  9. Girl, cover those gams up. When we she learn to work with what she was given? Julia, you are not a tall thin attractive woman. Dressing like you've got some banging body won't make people actually think you have a banging body. You're by no means unattractive, but, god damn, BUY SOME CLOTHES THAT FLATTER YOU DOT COM.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love the way she is standing on her tiptoes for no reason other than to flex her calf muscles as hard as humanly possible.

  12. Doesn't she sort of look like a dock hooker in that last pic? Waiting for the crane operators to hit the whistle, so maybe she can get enough johns in to make rent tonight.

    Gaaaaaaawd damn girl. Would it KILL her to put on some jeans like a normal person going to sea world? Fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  13. BLESS HER HEART. Jacy, I love it. The perfect putdown for this incredibly unfortunate blogerrhea that Julia is putting forth. I think that contorted tippy toe pose is just the saddest thing I have ever seen. :( :( :( :(

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wow. She used to have pretty nice legs, but now they should be covered up.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Julia's legs aren't that bad - just a little stumpy and pale - but she makes them look 100 times worse by wearing a too short mini skirt. Does she not own a single pair of jeans? Burmuda shorts? Capris? Christ. Turning everything into a color coordinated, themed photoshoot makes her look like she's mentally challenged, at best.

    ReplyDelete
  16. In fairness we have to remember that a year ago she was going, going, going, all day long. She was on tv, going to parties, going to fashion shit, she was just a lot more active than she is now. Since then she lost her job, and its not like sitting around a studio apt in a slanket eating chili cheese corndogs, frito pie and cupcakes is the recipe for a cute figure.

    Julia is lazy. When it was easy to stay thin with zero effort and maybe just a purge on occasion, she had no trouble. Now that she has to make an effort and work at it, her ass looks like a sherman tank and her legs look like tree trunks.

    You are what you eat, jaba. You are a corndog.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I love how she's too cool for school in the first pic on her phone texting, tweeting, blogging, whatever the F she is doing... Yet when it's time to take pictures for her own sight, she has to do her stupid air kisses and posses.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I really think you can pinpoint her start with the Blueprint Cleanse cycle of binge/crash diet as the beginning of the downfall of Julia's looks. She WRECKED her metabolism by cycling between overindulging and then starving on a liquid crash diet and it has been difficult for her to keep the weight of ever since. She's only been packing on the pounds faster since starting BluePrint cleanse and pp is right - it takes WORK to stay thin and Julia Allison is waaay to lazy to eat in moderation, hit the gym or make a dedicated diet overhaul. She will hit 200 lbs by age 30 if she does not make some drastic changes and quit sabotaging her metabolism with juice diets and manic all nighters. The combo of bad diet and lack of sleep is aging her at an alarmingly fast rate. I have never seen anything like it.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I really love how she's standing on her tip toes with her padded B cup tits pushed out in my 7th grade warming-up-for-cheerleading-practice-outfit at fucking Sea World. That picture is worth way more than the 82 cents she'll get for it.

    ReplyDelete
  20. The thing is if she had something else to bring to the table - personality, or humour, or fucking SOMETHING - and stopped dressing like the slut of the special ed class I don't think anyone would really care that much. I mean, so she put on 20lbs whatever, hey, it happens. But at almost 30 and considering she just doesn't have the bod for it anymore, she's just asking for ridicule by dressing like Everyday Is Halloween.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I personally think it's about time for another condom dress or rather a condom mumu given the way things are at the moment.

  23. I am kind of round and kind of cute and I dress accordingly. It's easy!

  24. Julia wishes she could produce content like Dooce and Pioneer Woman!

    ReplyDelete
  25. In that first picture she is trying so hard to give off that "What? A group photo? Ok I'll make time even though I'm doing important internet business" vibe.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I seriously, seriously, seriously want to change my handle to Dock Hooker. To the anon who coined the term--Awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  27. 3:51

    Tots. In the group pic she's trying to look like someone walking by the group but not part of the group; like she accidentally got caught in someone else's group shot.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Also - I believe that's a $3,000+ Bill Blass dress she's wearing at the Gracie Allen awards.

    Bill Blass to Juicy Couture hoodies in super-fake poses. Seriously, WHO leans on a railing and stands on their tiptoes to take a picture? And even then, her legs don't look amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  29. TJ, that was me ;) You can be dock hooker if I can be your slag hag.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Everytime I look at Julia Allison turning away from the rest of the bloggers in that group photo, purely so she can present her (relatively) "good side," I crack up. Kinda like that Harvard pizza joint photo. The terror that must fill her every time a camera is pointed her way! Gotta flex, gotta swivel, gotta shove my hip behind so-and-so...talk about exhausting.

    ReplyDelete
  31. So true, Dys. It wasn't that long ago - maybe a year - when she looked hot and didn't have to do all these contrivances to get a good photo.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Um, didn't Julia talk about how she rode a rollAr coaster today? I am sure the people behind her loved her flashing her fat ass when the wind caught her too short skirt. Rude pig.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh god. Julia, love, I have your body. And I never, ever thought it looked good in a miniskirt. Why are her calves like that? Is that a bathing suit bottom? That's the only excuse I will accept.

  35. Whoa - in that picture the wonky eye is SO bad!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Julia's tweets read like she's posting things right from the press kit that was probably in her room when she arrived. She gets paid for covering something and STILL does a shitty job. LAZY ASS.

    ReplyDelete
  37. ugh, mary's "I DON'T EXPECT A THANK YOU BUT A THANK YOU CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HURT!!" post. mary's going to make one hell of a nagging mom.

  40. Julia Allison loves her a stretched-out balcony preening pose. 'Member that recent old shot she said she loved so much of her on the balcony of some Florida highrise or something with her head thrown back and her chest stuck out? Memories, bunnies, memorie.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Er, there's no disclosure at all in the Twitter feed; if someone's just following that, they would have no idea she's being paid to say things, or being fed the facts by Sea World. Odd. Or should I say, "strange."

    ReplyDelete
  42. Shouldn't that squinched up left eye have gotten back to normal by now? I mean, how long ago was Fashion Week, anyway, and how long does Botox paralysis last?

  43. I think it lasts forever if you keep letting Dr. Bobby inject you every 3 months.

  45. @ 4:11 - HA! Mary is such a little bitch. It's funny when aimed at Ms. Allison but girl is nowhere NEAR smart or cute enough to win every battle if she calls it out everytime someone kind of annoys her. When not attached to someone epically more annoying, I am reminded again of how much Mary sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  46. mary biting the hand that feeds. "You sound like a whiny, ungrateful bitch!", says one commenter on mary's site/cite/sight. uh, YEAH!

  47. and once again, the blogger/firefox combo does not like pasting into the comment box. for anyone else out there with this problem, don't type in links by hand, just drag them into the comment box from another window. ta-da!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Wait, neither Dooce nor Pioneer Woman are there, are they? Neither blog mentions it.

    They couldn't get the top mommy bloggers? Damn. Tough work out there for a shillster.

    ReplyDelete
  49. No, they're not there, Anon. I just know those are two excellent and well-known "Mommy" blogs and didn't Pioneer Woman win the big award at SXSW or something? I recall reading that somewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  50. couldn't help it... tinypic.com/r/2uj5o8w/5
    this is just the ad that came up next to her twitpic... and seriously, this pasting problem is getting on my nerves.

  51. Dooce is about to pop out a baby. PW rarely leaves the ranch. It makes sense. :) (And yes, they are above roller coaster openings.)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Ahh, the yellow claws!!! Now that is werewolf material if you ask me.

  53. Interesting that Dooce/Heather Armstrong has been brought up a few times.

    ANYONE who has ever read/seen any kind of interview with Heather knows that the primary facet she talks about when it comes to blogging is how fucking hard it is to come up with content. That she obsesses about it, that she has pre-thought-out content stored up for when she goes on vacation for a couple days. That blogging is not so different than writing a decent newspaper column, if you choose to do it right.

    Compare this to Julia's fly-by-the-seat-her-pants content that at best involves iPhone photos and at worst features astrologers. The woman is incapable of forethought. Like, seemingly incapable of it, which is funny for a girl who prides herself on being some kind of man-getting schemer who can charm her way into getting what she wants. She really can't... that's what's sad about it.

    I stick by my diagnosis of adult ADHD. She is actually not mentally capable of producing good content. Get some Adderall, girl.

  54. From the archives! http://julia.nonsociety.com/lifecast/24387723-0-10-waist-1

    IRONY!!!!

    "We discussed Brit’s latest photo op throughout the entire makeup session (NSFW, but suffice it to say, she had an “Are you there God? It’s me, Britney” moment. Maybe instead of buying pregnancy tests she could buy, oh, I don’t know … tampons!?!?)

    God. I feel sort of mean, saying that. I really do. I don’t know. I’m of the “live and let live” school of thought, but I have to think about Britney, it’s part of my job. At this point her whole thing just makes me sad (in a detached way, not like she’s my friend or something!) and confused. She could have done anything she wanted - but she chose this?

    I don’t get morally outraged about it, I just think she’s squandering some precious and unique opportunities.

    Okay, enough. Being judgmental when someone’s (clearly) having a tough time leaves an icky taste in my mouth."

    ReplyDelete
  55. Funny, Dooce just wrote about a sponsor she was working with -- some group called the American Cancer Society.

    Also, it must be pointed out that Dooce makes money off her blog. Pioneer Woman probably does too. And no Julia, it's not just because they had kids.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Sausage Snappers, sad. She actually looks good in the photo of that post -- it was a good period for her, aesthetically.

    Ah, Julia, the good old days of having a career, being skinny and attractive, getting invited on international trips by men...

    And now you have a slanket. Congrats. FTW!

    ReplyDelete
  57. 5:48, I once read that Dooce makes $14,000 a month through sponsors and that brands see her as a major internet force. She once wrote about a really good detergent and is credited for 42,000 bottles of it consquently being sold (don't ask me how they managed to credit her for that, I have no idea).

    Julia probably thinks this all happened to Dooce because she got lucky, or networked with the right people. Uh, no, Dooce is a mother in fucking Utah. The woman WORKS for the success of her blog. Julia doesn't think success is a matter of work, though -- just about looking pretty and name dropping the right names.

  58. Dear Julia -

    When you post photographs (http://julia.nonsociety.com/lifecast/111137572-0-2) of yourself with what is known as a jackass penguin, you make this far too easy. Go big or go home.

  59. The thing about Dooce and Pioneer Woman and the many others like them-

    They don't simply produce content in search of freebies, or to promote freebies (or sponsorship dollars). They have extremely personal blogs with lots of content that is unrelated to product or something that can be bought, sold, or promoted. Readers of these blogs are truly care about these women, their families, and their success--

    This is something Julia has yet to offer.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I cried my eyes out when the Pioneer Woman's border collie wandered off and never came home, probably eaten by a coyote. It was heartwrenching. She's a beautiful writer, her blog is esthetically gorgeous, and she works her ass off keeping it alive with tons of content -- photos, recipes, daily confessions, etc. JA simply does not have the work ethic, the smarts or the will. Plus her life is boring as shit.

    You are exactly right! [about dooce and pioneer w]

    and Fuck Camping [love that name] --went to MTM and a commenter asked her if she was mad that she wouldn't have thank yous to show the IRS!

    Blogging as a business, hmmmm, this will get more interesting.

    since when is borough a verb? does she mean burrows, like digs? or borrows? or lives in boroughs, as in manhattan? oh megs, you are rascally. and dumb.

  69. Hi Jacy!! Someone named "Jacy" just posted a comment on Mary's site raving about the gracefulness of Julia/Meghan. Was that indeed you?

    I am loving the shit storm that is going on over at www.morethanmary.com She really pissed a lot of her readers off. Let's hope she didn't do it for the comments/gawker attention, but I would not put it past her.

  70. No, not me. People get their kicks in very strange ways. I rarely even read Rambo's blog because honestly it's too boring, though I appreciate the effort she puts into it.
