And another one's gone... another one bites the dust...

*giggles*

This applies today

Puff the ugly booze face
My en-em-yyyyy
Frolicks in my new crows’ feet
Making me look fifty-three

When my skin’s like paper
I’ll blame that rascal puff
And go all Mary Rambin-like
And use that botox stuff

The only thing I feel like covering from my time away...

This exchange made me giggle for days:

Dear A,
I know a lot of Tumblr’s are mysteriously disappearing lately, and I’m not really sure why mine hasn’t been on that (s)hit list. I don’t understand that any more than I understand why Julia wrote me asking to talk in the first place. That struck me as more than odd. The Google thing was the beginning of the end for me as far as Julia goes, and her asking to speak to me knowing I throw snark at her “best friend” was just another layer of ice on a slippery slope. As far as any kind of “turf war”, that doesn’t really interest me in the least. I mean, I created this blog in July. Post Baugher but pre-RBNS. And I was excited by RBNS when I discovered it, and frequented the comments there because it was fun. In fact, I used to quote the comments and posts and credited my favorite commenters, always linking to RBNS in addition to posting a link to their page on my own. After it came out that I was going to do my own project, some thought it was my plan all along, some saw Veronica on the teaser and slammed that… and then god forbid I use a horrible word to draw the same conclusions as the other commenters… it was just so stupid and the haters are fickle and thats fine. This was never a blog I created for anyone’s approval or admiration, it was just ever meant to be a silly little blog that was inspired by the awful style and vapid glory that is Scary. Right away I found it laughable that this girl randomly “improved upon” someone else’s handbag design, called it her own, and thought that somehow set her a notch above the rest regarding taste and style. (She then later accuses Donna Karan of stealing “her” design???) I have a strong distaste for women whose priorities and goals center around being skinny and being a self-proclaimed snob. As someone with a little bit of background in the fashion industry I found her “taste” level even more tear jerking. Through reblogging her ridiculous posts I’ve watched NonSociety devolve and become yet another cog in the machine that I love to hate. Yeah I’ve seen the comments over there at RBNS. It bothered me at first but the reality is that on a real level I don’t care and it doesn’t effect my life. They’re only seeing me one dimensionally, as I’ve only bothered to show one dimension of myself on this particular blog. If haters who call Julia “Jankles” think my posts are somehow worse than theirs, or whatever they think… I don’t ultimately care. Unlike Julia, I’m not online seeking approval. I enjoy blogging. I don’t think I’m the best or the worst out there. I just enjoy it.
RE: The commenting… seems to be working fine?

Snark websites have up and left the tumblr

antikris:

The three main blogs that targeted the likes of me, Julia Allison, Ramturd, the other one nobody cares about, and several others are gone. I dont know how I feel about this. On one hand, it’s nice to not be reblogged with comments about how greasy, old, loserish, and all around awful I am, but on the other I dont think they should have been removed if that is what in fact happened.

While their comments are rude, at times offensive, and without merit; dont those cunts have the same freedom of blog rights that the rest of us have? I think it’s crap to be censoring what others write. I certainly hope that isnt what’s going on here. Perhaps these snark fucks made physical threats or something?

I know you guys hate my guts, but if any of you who were removed still read my blog, shoot me over an email and let me know what happened. Blog censorship sucks….even if you are a bunch of misinformed buttholes. xxAntiKris

I have to wonder… WHY NOT ME? Is it because of my open letter to Tumblr? Or is it because my “victim” is Mary and not Julia? Well guess what folks… times they are a changin…

Thank you, Julia Allison, for boldly leading us into the touch-screen future. Your noble vision is an example to innovators around the world … or it would be, if your hideously designed trainwreck of a site ACTUALLY WORKED on the Iphone. FAIL.COM!!!


This post is vintage Julia - some drivel childishly intended to fool the reader into thinking the author is knowledgeable, backed up by absolutely nothing. It’s not vaporware, it’s vapidware. Testing the site is something for the little people to do (when they’re not hustling for free headbands), Julia’s busy envisioning the future of “information architecture”.

The real tragedy in this story is the fate of the poor web developer who was forced to implement this FAIL. Imagine the conference calls with Julia’s braying midwestern voice (punctuated by thought-free squeaks from Meghan) directing the developer “once more into the breach” of a horizontally scrolling design. You almost feel like the resulting pages are an attempt to bring the “company” down from within. If that’s the case, congratulations anonymous sir (or madam), you’ve constructed a webpage of shiteous distinction. I salute your passive-aggressive blow against the vanity-industrial complex.

Sharing Some Reader Emails

Did you notice that everything Meghan posted from 3:10pm Feb 11 to her 2:29 Feb 12th post was just reblogged or linked to stuff? That’s 24 hours (almost) without any original thought on her blog.


Yes, she posted stuff but it was stuff we could have found on Mary or Julia’s pages (another irksome little quality - they reblog each other so often why not just have one freaking page and three different sign offs?!


Anyway, just wondered if you’d picked it up.


Cheers

From your latest post, “That should be a site to see”

Mary…you’re just adding fuel to the fire honey!!!
You need to get this sight/site/cite thing under control.

sight - to view with the eyes
site - as in website
cite - to quote or as an example

that was so not there when she originally posted! i saw it on google reader as soon as she put the post up, there was no disclosure.

Thanks to reader Franchesca for this info:

“Mary steals her Grammy “fashion” images from People.com. People uses Getty/WireImage and I know they would not be too happy about a website stealing their photos. I suggest that we email Getty so they can get Mary to take down her photos and start to go about professional (and yes, “classy”) ways of acquiring images. Photographers need to get paid!”

Remember my Natasha phase from the holidays? In a frenzy to get out the door last night, I revisited one of black ensembles. Very sleek, and hopefully sexy.

natface:
I am now embarrassed to be named this.

@ natface: LOL awww poor baby, it’s fine. At least it’s the name of her other personality and not her real name. Who does she think she is? Beyonce? Sasha Fierce is now Natasha Fierce? And what’s this:

“I revisited one of black ensembles.”

Again: if this is just a personal blog, no big deal. But you continue to call this a business and continue to show zero pride or professionalism in your “work”.

More lies.

I suppose entries like this one is what The Nutritionista was talking about… For those of you who are looking for truly healthy ideas from someone who doesn’t get her tips from a Veterinarian, you should really check out her page. I dig it.

maryrambin:
If you follow Sarah, you know she has been full on bragging about her recent gourmet feasts. I’m not sure where she finds the time to prepare all of this, but I’m jealous she doesn’t mind cooking these intricate meals for herself. (To me the mess isn’t worth it.)

She always posts a picture from online, not an actual shot of her dish or the recipe. Cheater cheater sarah! We want to see what you did and how it turned out. Although I’m sure her plates look and taste just as scrumptious as this one.

My point is, if you’re a homegrown chef like our girl Sarah, we would love for you to share your recipes. Obviously since it’s our site, the healthier the better. And of course pictures of YOUR dish are highly encouraged.

We will be chatting about some of our favorites tomorrow for a new episode of TMI. So send them in here!

nutritionista:
Hmmm… Nutritionista says: this should be interesting. I wonder how they plan to sample the recipes when none of them eat solids? Or, at least not during the day. Mary only eats carbs and protein at night, when she can “digest them better.” How can Mary claim to lead such a healthy lifestyle if cooking “isn’t worth the mess.” Don’t be fooled, you guys, cooking doesn’t have to be hard or messy, and it most certainly does NOT involve a juicer. But it is pretty crucial for your health. Oh, and would you take recipe advice from the girl whose fridge is stocked with nail polish instead of food?

Usually, NonSociety + food = eating disorder, so I’ll be watching this episode of TMI closely (ugh, kill me) to set everyone straight in case they try to disseminate their anorexia.

Okay this one is amazing, guys. Within minutes of Mary posting this, I received the following email:

I have a tumblr called The Nutritionista. It’s all about eating well and basically advocates everything Mary Rambin does not (you know, eating during the day, consuming solids, etc.). Well, she just reblogged one of the recipes I posted without noticing that half the posts on my blog are refuting and/or making fun of various food advice she and her cohorts have given. I’m copying it here because she’ll delete as soon as she explores any more of my tumblr (if she does):

maryrambin:

I’ve really enjoyed following Jessica and Courtney’s MyDailyBread blog lately. I believe it was Jessica who wrote me about it when I asked for recipe submissions. And now, they’ve directed me to nutritionista.

Between Sarah, Jessica, and Courtney I am definitely inspired to start cooking again. Like really cooking, not just throwing veggies in a pan.

Honestly, I’m a little pissed because I don’t want anyone to think we’re in the same camp on food stuff. Anyway, I thought you’d appreciate another idiotic Mary story.

"They also ripped off “nonsociety” from life coach Kyle King. She used to sell her workbooks at an inflated price to “nonsociety” members - it was stated plainly on her site although it is no longer up."

Commenter Encore

"I’m going to the Cook Islands for work, and the country’s motto? LIVE DIFFERENTLY. I think someone might have ripped off a PR campaign from someone else (ironically, enough, I doubt it was Cook doing the poaching). Somehow, I’m inclined to believe a country that has managed to preserve its beauty, culture and identity far more than three sub-par fame whores who post the same lame photos of themselves day after day."
