After a fairly revolting (food-wise) breakfast with Shira Lazar, Randi Zuckerberg and Brittany Bohnet.
I take it she didn't like the food. It was apparently some low-end fast food chain, so, um, hello?
And I have nothing against dressing down and making yourself appear as though you'll soon be at the microphone pointing out the delights of downtown Austin for the trolley-bus tourist crowd. I just find it odd that no matter how down she dresses, the makeup has always been applied with a trowel. You can't see it so much in this photo but there's another one taken indoors where it's apparent she has spent an hour plastering it on.
Other than that, there is really nothing to report. She is tedious.
Does she not own any other skirts?
ReplyDeleteShe really should have picked out her outfits a little more thoughtfully. Shira looks fine, casual. Julia still dresses like the cheerleader she was ten years ago.
ReplyDeleteJulia Aline strikes again. Love that she bothers to wear individually applied eyelashes (visible in another pic) even with a baseball cap on. Ridonk!
ReplyDeleteI will take a cheeseburger and fries, hold pickle.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sonic Burger.
Am I the only one who, despite still being aware of all the horrible things she says, is beginning to find her boring more than anything else? I'm clearly growing tired of this one trick pony. Tedious, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI was getting rather bored until I watched this Heather Gold panel http://blip.tv/file/811282. I commented below about it but wanted to share the link again here. Sorry to hyjack.
ReplyDelete"You are the unpleasant part of the business we are in," Journalist to Julia Allison on Gold's panel. I should say this is from a SXSW 08' panel.
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:41 -- I am going through the same thing.
ReplyDeleteSomeone posted a Heather Gold video in here today from a panel appearance Jackles made at last year's SXSW and it was right around the time she "quit the Internet" and she actually seems moderately likeable during the video. She plays the victim card over and over again about how mean Gawker/Valleywag have been to her. She is very good actress; she almost had me feeling sorry for her until I kept reminding myself how she'd just outed her ex's mental health issues on Gawker and then demanded weeks later that he buy her a MacAir.
But you can see how, with her impressive acting skills, she is able to get people onside. She really did miss her calling -- she should be acting, not blogging.
Anyway, FINALLY Nick Douglas stands up at the very end and basically says "stop talking about yourself if you don't like it" and the crowd cheers.
An aside -- she also says repeatedly she's not on Twitter and holds that up as something that proves she isn't over-sharing, I guess. Was it what, a week later that she signed up for Twitter? How far she's come in a year! Not. And the same-old same-old is soooo boring.
Jinx, Total Jing! MIND MELD!
ReplyDeleteJacy, there are so many enlightening aspects to that panel. I've not gotten over the part where she says that she doesn't know what she is and let's on that she knows she's not a journalist.
ReplyDeleteI know, there were moments when she seemed OK and honest. But then you realize the one thing she is not saying to the people on the panel who are asking her questions: She is constantly putting up tit shots and Blue Steel poses and writing posts with ulterior motives and posting pointless content ALL. THE. TIME. Snap. Snap. Snap. (A JA device -- sorry).
ReplyDeleteShe desperately wants people talking about her and noticing her -- she just doesn't want any of the commentary to be negative. What a fraud.
Did she not barge her way on to a panel?? How hideous! That is shockingly appalling behavior.
ReplyDeleteI have not watched the video yet and try to avoid the bray at all costs, so correct me if i a wrong. But if this is true -- it is truly shocking.
WIth this in mind, i find it very interesting that she can't get invited on to a panel in the US. She is only invited at the last minute (DLD) in countries where no one has to live with her in their immediate vicinity.
Very, very telling.
Jacy is right, she is a complete fraud and a total hack. All she has are her extensions, Lee Press On Nails and a whole mess of cosmetic surgery to recommend her. It is pathetic.
I agree with everyone. Also, has anyone noticed how weird her teeth are in this video? Or maybe it's her mouth? Like, she has horse teeth or something and she can't close her mouth?? I don't think that's the case in more recent vids of her, but it's weird, no?? Man, I think she changes her looks more than we think!
ReplyDeleteSicko. SHE IS JACKO.
SP: She didn't really barge her way. She booed Owen Thomas when his name was announced, started bitching about Valleywag when asked what her problem was by Heather Gold, and then was asked to come up to the panel and have a seat.
ReplyDeleteSo basically she made herself the center of attention so the moderator had to pay attention to her. She also immediately starts talking about herself and her job when the moderator asked why she was booing Owen.
ReplyDeleteThe video clip posted...is that from this year?
ReplyDeleteI am listening to it now and OMG she is a trashy clown. She has a mouth like a trucker (and those teeth!) and it is completely cringe worthy. All that cursing on a public panel like this is atrocious.
ReplyDeleteShe is out of her depth on this panel and is a total know-nothing and it comes across SO CLEARLY.
Next to the TMZ guy juxtaposing her Star credentials alongside her "i am above it all and i just don't care" is complete amateur hour. WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT! Don't even get me started about her next to the reporter from the NYT. Jackles has no shame.
That she stepped to Heather this year by barging in on her panel again to let Heather know she heard this diss is gross.
And i am wondering why Owen just did not put her in her place? It's weird he just took all her childish jabs.
She is a rotten person, point finale.
Yeah, and dissing her employer, Star, so publicly was really choice. Way to be classy, Jill (Long Island U alumna).
ReplyDeleteGawker commenter nails it (so does the article title):
ReplyDeletehttp://gawker.com/5170339/sxsw-the-conference-for-julia-allison-and-other-people-lacking-real-jobs#c11379579
OH MY WORD. She fucking calls someone sexist (for accurately describing her friend Sarah Lacy's behavior)? Fucking rich.
ReplyDeletePublicly shitting on your employer - especially when that employer pays you six figures and is the only reason anyone even knows who you are- is so vile, I don't even know what to say.
ReplyDeleteI have always gone back and forth with Julia. Sometimes I would think maybe this all just got out of control and she doesn't have an exit strategy, but now my mind is made up. She's really, really gross.
Also, she was way prettier back then. Must suck.
Am I the only one who thinks that Shira looks like Rebecca Pidgeon? Or whoever mamet's wife is?
ReplyDeleteAnon 7.10: If you look at the big picture and nothing but the hard facts of what she did when to whom without considering how she spun either event, then there is indeed only one logical interpretation: This is not a nice person. This is someone without any sense of shame, decency or humility. This is someone ruthless, selfish and delusional. This is an inadequate personality that aims higher and will not stop at anything to reach her goals. She will turn against anyone she feels is in her way. Good thing is that she is not very well connected, because such people can do great harm when getting access to some kind of power.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is she wearing? What the FUCK is she wearing?!?
ReplyDeleteI love how the Gold just keeps saying, "well, we know that" or "well, that is obvious" after everything JA says. She is so utterly fucking stupid.
ReplyDeleteHa! Total Jing speaks the truth. Heather Gold seems pretty rad. She handled herself pretty well and kept the moderation part in check too -- despite having made the mistake of giving that trainwreck a forum.
ReplyDeleteBut really what it proved was how out of her depth Jackles is when surrounded by real professionals of all walks. But Jackles does not see it at all. Bitch is just too fucking blind.
Wow, she looked SO different in that video from last year... wow. She looks like sh*t by comparison, now.
ReplyDeleteWhat does she know about food anyway? "Oooh, it tastes like pink!"
ReplyDeleteFrom Gawker on Julia crashing heather's panel:
ReplyDeleteseanammirati
7:07 PM on Sun Mar 9 2008 I was in the panel and this is definitely NOT what happened. The panel basically begged her to come up on stage.
Yeah, 10:01, and we saw the video: She rudely (who boos someone on a small panel?) drew the attention to herself until the moderator had to focus on her.
