I notice Donk posted a link to this weirdo grift-y bridal blog the other day, urging her Facebook “friends” to read it. She seems to think this post is absolutely brilliant, but seriously, why would this resonate with her? And is there really an epidemic of bossy bitches out there who control every facet of their men’s lives and then eat their faces off when the dude doesn’t do as he’s told? “I’m fat because you’re a failure!!!” That’s a thing now?
Who the fuck are these chicks? I don’t know any women like this. I am not sure I have ever even heard of women like this. Do any of you sad, sort of angry adults know any women like this?
Very telling that Donk thought this was profound in some way. What a great girlfriend she must be. A bossy, nagging, binge-eating control freak who lies about her dietary issues and who is utterly obsessed with herself and her own image. So much fun.
Do you ever feel like you have to be the one “in charge” in your relationship? Are you constantly telling your significant other how to do things? Are you constantly giving him business advice, making every attempt to get him to work harder, quit his dead end job, or do something that actually makes him happy (and rich)? Do you wish he would just “know” what to do without you asking?
And are you so exhausted at the end of the day that all you want to do is curl up with a pint of ice cream of bag of potato chips?
Most of my clients are “the boss” in their relationship, and they feel like life would be easier if their man just listened to them and got his shit together. They may be right;), but the constant directions and nagging just make our men less likely to make a move, and make us more frustrated… and fat.
Also, when we’re always “on” in our relationship and are looking for every opportunity to teach, direct and change, then we’re not focused on taking care of ourselves, nor are we creating the space for our men to take care of us. When we’re not being taken care of, the only way we get comfort and love is through food.
I’m sure you can relate to that warm, soothing blanket feeling you get when you dive into a box of cookies. But I also know you’re very familiar with the nauseous, guilty, embarrassed after-math. Getting love through food is keeping you stuck in a body and life that you hate.
I had a client, we’ll call her Charlotte, who was in this boat. Her boyfriend hated his job that required him to work 80 hours a week and didn’t make him much money, putting a strain on their mutual finances. He had a dream to be an artist, but spent more time complaining than planning an exit strategy. On top of that, he never cooked, helped out around the house or did anything romantic.
My client, as you can imagine, was ready to throw in the towel, but loved him so much and knew he was a good guy. At the same time, she couldn’t imagine continuing to play the role of his mother, plus, she was drowning her anxiety in girl scout cookies daily and her jeans were getting tighter by the minute.
When the topic came up in our session, this is what I told her:
Take all the energy you’ve been focusing on telling him how to live his life and focus it on taking care of yourself, embracing your femininity, and creating the life you want.
She was worried that if she stopped directing him that he would really go off the deep end, but I assured her that him really failing would be better than her feeling responsible for him for the rest of her life. It’s just too draining.
Charlotte spent the next two weeks taking baths, doing her hair and makeup everyday (something that brought her a lot of pleasure), she quit one of her jobs so she could focus on her business, she went for walks, danced around the house and went out more.
After just two weeks, she called me practically in tears. “SARAH! You won’t believe what happened this week. My bf quit his job, got 2 gigs doing what he loves, made me dinner and took out the trash. And I didn’t say a word.”
“And how do you feel?” I asked.
“I feel amazing, I’ve never felt so beautiful, I’m eating half the amount that I used to and I’m starting to fit into my old jeans.”
Amazing.
Here’s how it works:
No nagging + more self-care = driven dude AND smaller jeans. Tweet it!
Giving your man the space allows him to live his own life and show up for you. Plus, when you lead by example in taking care of yourself, he’ll want to dive right in with you. But it must start with you. The icing on the cake? When you and your man are taking care of you, cookies, cakes and chips are no longer your only source of comfort and love.
So here’s what I want you to do:
- Write down all the things that you’re being a bossy-pants about in your relationship, friendships and family.
- Stop telling other people what to do, and focus all that energy on taking care of yourself.
- Leave a comment below to pledge what you’re going to zip your lips about, and tell us how you’re going to take better care of yourself this week.
I know this is hard! I know (you think) you know better. And, I promise that if you zip it for just a week, I bet you’ll see a major shift in your relationship, happiness and cravings.
Have fun:)
And yet The Divine Sarah writes this mess on her bio page:
“To be clear, I am a foodie not a health-nut. I don’t believe in willpower, I believe in the power of pleasure. I love kale AND butter (especially together). I prefer dance clubs over treadmills and wine over wheatgrass. I believe that every woman deserves a body she loves, a man who worships her and a career that fulfills her. Anything less and you’re wasting your time.”
The worship B.S. is right up Donk’s alley but doesn’t it conflict with Sarahlala’s other directives about giving him space? Christ, I hate these grifter types who were educated at Joketon Community College, have no professional counseling degrees, yet think they’re qualified to advise others on how to live their lives
Not kale!!!!! Horrors!!!
And worship. Jesus. Seriously, who wants to be worshipped? I don’t. I far prefer being liked.
Slight punctuation tweak and voila:
And worship Jesus (seriously!), who wants to be worshiped.
Remind me not to bring you along the next time Gozer asks me if I’m a God.
I’m devastated to learn that I’ve been doing it all wrong-I just wanted my equal in life and here I should be looking for someone to worship me? Oh Donk you are so insightful and the voice of reason to so many of us wayward women. Oh Thank you.

This basically sounds like a nicer way of the misogynist canard of “men don’t want to be nagged so just shut up and focus on looking pretty.” Of course men don’t like to be nagged – NO ONE likes to be nagged. It’s not about if you wear enough lipstick or whatever. It seems the OP is really just talking about getting over control issues by finding a new outlet, but of course Julie just sees “omg skinny!” and runs with it from there.
To be fair, I think what’s saying is to stop worrying so much about micromanaging the guy’s life and use that time and effort on things that are productive for you or just make you happy.
This reeks of NPD justification. Some of the most insidious bitches are the ones who convince themselves that all they do is take care of other people and get stepped on and ‘it’s time to focus on myself’. They’re almost always crazy fucks who are actually nagging and meddling where they’re not needed. Then they get all inspired to “put themselves first” and just become outright assholes.
Yes.
This. The only people I’ve ever known to say stuff like “It’s time to focus on ME” are those who never think about anything else in the first place.

Slightly OT, but I started skimming the blog and lawd is it awful. This article in particular makes me want to stab myself:
http://thebreathtakingbride.com/bb-blog/the-curse-of-feminism
She starts out word vomming 2 paragraph to essentially write, “Last week, my husband woke up late and didn’t have time to pack breakfast or lunch.”
Then this gem:
“I feel terrible admitting this, but my first reaction was, “He’ll figure it out, I need to sleep. If I get up and help him out, I’ll be enabling him and he’ll start to expect me to make his breakfast and lunch everyday and I will NOT be a housewife, damnit!”
I wish I was the only young woman who had this reaction, but I’ve talked to many of my clients about this fear of “losing ourselves” in our relationship and becoming more like our partner’s maid than his wife. The issue is that we’re so preoccupied with being taken advantage of, that we stop being a caring person.
I am so grateful for the women who fought for our equality, and I also want to be conscious of where the feminist expectation can be misunderstood.”
The fuck?
My clients = my Elle readers
if you both have jobs, you both have equal responsibilities
if one of you is paying the bills for the other, the one for whom the bills are being paid has some duties around the house
doesn’t matter who is male or female; they can be two women or two men
but the psycho bitches who don’t do jackshit all day and then complain when their husbands ask for something? fuck them
The fuck? Looking down on being a housewife and doing household chores isn’t “a bra burning moment”. Supporting your partner is part of a healthy relationship.
I had a friend once who was like this when I was unemployed and doing the laundry/dishes/chores because my boyfriend was working to pay our bills all day and what else was I doing otherwise? She would always laugh and ew and tell me I was becoming a housewife. Her own boyfriend refused to move in with her and broke up with her for being too self involved a few months later. Weird!
This. Thanks for articulating what I was too incoherent to actually type out. People take care of each other in relationships. It has NOTHING to do with feminism.
This is probably the same woman who would dampen her panties if her husband made her breakfast in bed one morning, or came home from work early to cook a surprise romantic candlelight dinner for her when she walked in the door.
He would really love to do those things for you sweetie, really… but he just thinks you’ll expect him to be romantic and cook for you ALL.THE.TIME.
Greg forbid your relationship is an equal partnership where you occasionally help each other out and do nice things for one another without the secret score tally.
Such an excellent point. She and the JAs of the world expect to be “worshipped” and “treated like a princess” at all times, but God forbid they might get out of bed and off their asses one morning and do something helpful for their husbands when they’re short on time.
There is some sort of sub-culture of narcissistic, whiny, spoiled, entitled princesses, I guess. And Donkey is their poster girl.
But Donkey can make eggs and water!
She makes lox too, damn it!
no doubt their moms were married to closeted republicans
Also? If she was too tired to get out of bed, it’s FINE. Just don’t blame feminism. It’s perfectly ok to be too tired/too lazy to get out of bed to cook for your partner. But don’t pretend it’s because you’re a feminist, it has nothing to freaking do with feminism. It was 5am, you were lazy and comfortable. AND THAT’S OK. Good Greg. You don’t owe him a meal, so you don’t have to rationalize it as “SO FEMINIST” when you don’t feel like making him one.
This woman is almost as dumb as the donkey.
YES re: excusing your laziness with being a “feminist.” Yeah, honey, you’re a real feminist, planning your pretty princess party day since you were 12. Jesus.
i think it’s called clinical depression

OT: Anyone else experiencing RBD taking an unusual amount of time to finish loading?
I think I had an easier time understanding what That Wife was trying to explain in her Mormon mommy blogging essay. There’s just nothing that makes sense. You’re fat because your boyfriend is a lazy piece of shit and you’re just so smart and nurturing that you have to nag him all the time? How did someone build a business off of this? It’s the most convoluted theory I’ve ever heard.
I can’t believe ThatWife got knocked up again. She hates being a mom, she’s going to be more miserable than ever. Even KERF and Messica will seem happy by comparison.
Wait, Messica is pregnant too?
I think donk would make an excellent 40 year old spinster fighting off suicidal thoughts while eating a gallon of cookies and cream.
That’s fucked up. But I will at that my wife puts me on a food diet, but she does that because she cares about me. If I break it It’s not a big deal.
So was Donk immediately rushed to the hospital after licking that cake? Or was it OMGluten-free?
Is this the lunatic she also just tweeted “Help! I need to stop thinking!”? Translation: Loser No Balls is making me fat and frustrated.
no, that’s a different grifter lunatic, the wife of meshshirt lover michael ellsberg.
Off topic-ish, but since the topic is sort of about boyfriend’s, I want to share a cautionary (donkey) tail/tale.
I was seeing a guy who seemed like a decent enough human being until I discovered that he had a twitter account that followed A Donkey AND occasionally tweet-flirted at her.
Horrified I was. How was it that this guy would ever the Donkey? And one day I asked him why he tweeted at her. He got defensive, made some shit up about trying to get noticed by showbiz type people (and livestock, apparently).
And so, dear reader, I dumped his ass.
Well, not immediately. It took me discovering some other unsavory things he was doing and lying about. When I discovered that he has been sleeping with someone else since before we started seeing each other (the woman contacted me to tell me…it was awful), I confronted him. He denied it and used the Donkey as an example of me being insanely jealous for no reason. When it came to light that he dropped me off one night and picked her up for a booty call 10 minutes later, he told me I was crazy to think that any man could ever be monogamous and that I simply need accept it like every other woman does. This was despite that he had told me we were exclusive.
And that was the end of that.
The moral of the story is never ever date anyone who would ever the Donkey.
And a follow-up question: is what he said true? Is it true that no woman should expect a man to be monogamous? Even if he promises that?
Most men, given the opportunity to cheat without consequences, would do it. I don’t care how nice or sweet they are. The reality is there are almost always consequences and most men realize this and don’t cheat. The “it’s biology” argument always gets trotted out but it’s true: most men get bored. An important thing to consider is that our modern society equates sexual infidelity with emotional infidelity. However, just because someone cheats doesn’t mean they are any less loving or committed to their relationship.
This is an interesting read: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/aug/27/monogamy-fairytale-ideal-affairs-wont-go-away
I think it depends on the age and personality and maturity, to be honest. I just don’t think you can generalize re: gender, because I have known just as many women as men who have cheated.
I think people are more likely to do it in their 20s, when they’re OBOing, slightly less likely in their 30s, and in fact less likely as they grow older because generally, it only really takes the sheer misery of having someone do it to you a couple of times — or to experience the pain and regret of doing it to someone you actually cared about — to repeatedly do it for the rest of your life. Only the biggest psychos I know are serial cheats well into middle age. Almost everyone I know cheated on someone in their 20s.
Maturity/painful lessons learned/bridges burned generally make you less inclined to do so as you grow older, and they also heighten your instincts when you’re meeting someone you sense is still an emotional 21-year-old. If you’ve got a brain in your head and you’re sane, you become very averse to drama as you grow older, and so don’t allow that stuff into your life — either by doing it someone else, or dating people you suspect still do it.
In short, it wasn’t you, it was him, and if he’s in his 20s, then no, probably not terribly unusual. Maybe in 10 years, when someone puts him through it, he’ll grow up. In the meantime, consider it a bullet dodged.
Lots of people cheat. Even more people want to cheat, but don’t. Some people don’t want to cheat.
There are many people in the world who seem to tolerate more deception from their marital partners than they would from their business partners. That is not me, but for the people for whom it works, let a hundred flowers bloom.
What about open relationships? I have been in a few and they have generally been more balanced, less stressful and more, well, open then many of my monogamous ones. (Not that this would automatically be true for others.)
@RRR , when you had open relationships, were they “don’t ask, don’t tell” types of relationships. Or was the other person completely aware of of things? This latter situations seems like a ticking time bomb, IMO. No matter how secure someone is, once you throw in any stress or misunderstandings…
Both times we both knew. Once, I joined in. Not saying that to seem all sexy, BTW: it was a mutually agreed upon arrangement that was a lot of fun and wound up being a bit too complex for day-to-day reality, but we all parted amicably. Point is there was no duplicity and no one thought less of the other person/people involved. Sex with someone not your primary partner does not automatically equal “lying scumbag” is all I’m getting at.
People cheat in open relationships, too. They just lie about and break different agreements than in monogamous relationships, yes?
I suppose that’s true.
open relationships are not for me but if **both** people, well, all, agree, sure whatever
cheating = lying
breaking a promise = lying scumbag
open relationship: everyone can do whatever; ok
open relationship: some kind of limits and someone breaks the promise = lying bastard
Never believe anything that anyone promises.
If a not unattractive punani offers itself to a peen, a peen will take it on.

What a crazy fucktwat Sarah Jenks is, just putting that out there. In response to your question, experience has taught me that anyone is capable of ANYTHING. That’s not a reason to become paranoid, it’s just something to be aware of. Be trusting with your guy if you think he deserves it (otherwise why would you be in a relationship with him in the first place), and if one day you find out he doesn’t, you’ll know that your conscience is clear and that these things will catch up with him. They always do. I dated the equivalent of Honest Freaking Abe who repeatedly said from time to time that he would never cheat on me and that if he was ever with someone who cheated on him he’d just leave. Well guess what? Douche decides to cheat on me with his “best friend” from law school who I never met, despite the fact that she lived up the block from him. (We were long distance for the last 2 years of our relationship.) He never told me, but I figured it out. The stupid skank is now his girlfriend. And according to a mutual friend I keep in touch with, is every bit the incorrigible, label-whore, hyperactive bitch I thought she was. So, in other words, it’s a ticking time bomb. I get random calls every so often from random numbers. There’s never a message. But I know who it is. A mature person could have seen things for what they were and decided it wasn’t all about them and worked it out, or if they’d developed feelings for someone else sat me down and told me about it and walked away. That’s the right thing to do. But he didn’t do the right thing. I feel good knowing that I did. I’m studying ACTING for God’s sake, I get to work with some extremely attractive and flirtatious people all the time. But I’m happy knowing that when I make a commitment to someone I stick to it. So yes, anyone is capable of anything, but I know that so am I. I’m capable of being reliable and trustworthy and so might the guy you’re with. If it turns out that he isn’t but you are, then go you! Then it’s on to the next. There are trustworthy people out there, sometimes they are just hard to find in what can feel like a sea of douche bags.
Nonsense. Of course people of any gender can be monogamous. And people who don’t keep promises—whatever promise, whether it’s to take out the garbage or to not fuck other people—are doing something shitty.
People cheat on each other in open and polyamorous relationships. Sex isn’t a magical thing about which nobody can keep agreements any more than money is a magical thing about which nobody can keep agreements.
I really dispute the incessant “it’s biology” thing re: men. I realize that anecdotes are not data — thanks Cancer Dan! — but I know just as many women as men who have become bored, craved sexual variety, fooled around on their partners, and I think more and more polls/studies are reflecting that. It’s about the type of person they are, and whether they are immature selfish dicks, or perhaps just stuck with the wrong partner and unable to muster the strength to get out of it, or decent, honest human beings who don’t want to do to someone else what they wouldn’t want done to them. Sometimes you have to experience it to have that maturity about it, but good, decent, empathetic men — and women — are capable of not fooling around, and they are out there.
Agreed. I have several male friends who I’d stake my life savings on that they’re not cheaters.
The truest thing Chris Rock ever said: “Men are only as faithful as their options.”
So if no other woman will look at him? Congratulations, he’s all yours.
I think Chris Rock was talking about Chris Rock. I just don’t buy that anymore.
Chris Rock also was cheating CONSTANTLY on his wife on the down low. Know this for a fact.
She kicked him out for awhile, right? Or have they permanently split?
Agree with you -Not Chris Rock, the tiger woods blow up was no shock to anyone who lived in Scottsdale. We all watched it for years.
Yes.
His rationalization is bullshit. He has issues. I’m happily monogamous and most guys I know are able to be the same & wouldn’t be cool with some guy being a douche like your ex.
Afghani, for the second time ever, I am in full agreement with you (#teamcaulk).
Am happily monogamous. Fuck that guy, it was him who fucked someone else, not his gender as a whole.
Every time I read sweeping statements about the truth of ALL MEN and how monogamy isn’t possible — how every single man on earth has cheated or would, given the option — I have to step away from my computer and do something else. Men who cheat in their relationships are an absolute anomaly in my world, and always have been. Anyone who wants to insist to me that my husband of fifteen years has cheated, ever would, or is capable of it can fuck right off. Honor and decency and behaving like a grown ass human being are not fantasies, they’re character traits. My father-in-law, my brother, my brother-in-law, the husbands of my friends: not one of them has or ever would cheat, in part because they work too hard and are concentrating on getting through the day. There are way bigger things to think about than novelty and the peen, and all the men I know have moved on to thinking about those things.
Apologize for my tone here. I have a cold.
That is exactly how I feel.
I also think a couple of generations of men now were raised by feminist women, for the most part, who talk openly to them about this kind of stuff. I don’t think it’s considered a badge of honor anymore to get as many notches on your belt as possible — it’s viewed as being skeevy.
I have not raised my son to be the kind of dude who would do it — he saw how painful it was for me when my ex did it to me, and he just wouldn’t go there. He does not want to be “that guy.”
The generation of men raised by Betty and Don Draper types? Perhaps.
I like sweeping statements like I like statistics …

If you want to cheat you will find a justification for it
If you don’t you won’t

“She writes aphorisms and then throws them out, one after the other, so rapid-fire the reader is exhausted.”
I largely agree with you – to the extent that a specific human is able to act rationally. Just like the adult child of an alcoholic who themselves becomes an active alcoholic – despite knowing the horrific consequences – there are many people who cheat without regard for logic or their actual priorities. It’s complicated.
But yes, I know men who would not cheat and do not cheat. Ditto women. But I also know a lot of non-scumbags who have cheated.
yes, she was one: I’ve known men and women who cheated (my father was a gold medalist in the Infidelity Olympics). My point is not that liars and cheaters don’t exist, but that it’s absurd to look at any person who can’t be faithful in relationships and attribute those characteristics to an entire gender, which happens ALL THE TIME.
The plural of anecdote isn’t data, as CD so rightly said, and as Jacy has recently reiterated. If I were to draw conclusions about the whole of humanity based on the behavior of the worst people I’ve known? Good lord, I’d be crunching my cyanide capsule between my molars.
I am vigorously agreeing with you, s-i-l of Me Time!
a cheater is by definition a scumbag
There is some truth to the idea that maturity is a good indictor of trustworthiness. But that is regardless of gender. We all know people who were promiscuous trainwrecks in college or just thereafter who grew up over time and have good relationships. Conversely, there are people who never grow up in that way. Whether that’s an innate trait or a person’s response to various “wounds” throughout life is a good topic.
Generalizations of this sort are always made by deeply embittered people, RRR generalized, embitteredly.
Seriously, who knows? No one has a pipepline to the front-lobe/testicle reflex of X amount of billion people.
I’d guess most people fantasize about it briefly and then never bother or even truly consider acting upon it.
I can sympathize about being controlling and weird with food – I identify as a compulsive overeater and attend a program to help deal with it – but I hate the tone of this article. It’s just a justification of how you are really a victim and are just trying to help by controlling other people’s lives and nagging, like your intentions are good. Just think about your self more, because everything you do is for OTHERS! Bullshit – you want others to change so it reflects better on you (higher status).
Does she want this change because it will make her guy’s life better and them happier as a couple, or because she wants him to up his status so it reflects better on her?
Goat soap (AKA THE DEVIN STETLER) is like an accessory to her.
I’ve dated a nag before, and it’s a real drag and makes me want to get out as soon as possible. Millions of men get through life just fine without a nag at their side.
Also, if your mate is doing everything wrong and you’re not in sync with your goals and aspirations, what the hell are you doing with them? How many times do women have to think “I can change him! I can fix him!” before they finally just go find someone they’re actually compatible with? So weird..
I dated a nag for about 6 months after college. The only thing it did was make me much more appreciative of secure, relaxed, well-adjusted people. She ended up being sort of a wife-fluffer… bc my catwoman is basically the opposite of that shrill harpie
I have benefited from coming after a shrill harpie several times in my life.

And GROSS. I just came back to my computer and that window was still open. I forgot what I had been reading, so I started reading again right where she talks about how they “made love” (barf, I hate that term) for the first time as a married couple instead of having brunch. Barf. Overshare. Barf. Barf.
The troll! That is too funny …
All anyone needs to know about this chick, and why Donk loves her, is this line:
Everyone told me, “nothing can prepare you for what you will feel on your wedding day”. And honestly, I didn’t believe them. I had been planning my wedding since I was twelve, TWELVE! What more could I possibly know?
“I had been planning my wedding since I was twelve”
other participants being totally irrelevant
that is psychotic
YES.
It’s sort of one thing to say, “When I was twelve/sixteen whatever, I used to dream about my wedding.”
But to make it sound like this continuous process from 12 to twenties/thirties is oh-so-creepy.

Yes! Good as The Heiress with Olivia de Havilland (screenplay by the authors of this play), and good as Washington Square with Jennifer Jason Leigh.
This reminds me of Mama Gena… Anyone remember her?
Long time reader here. Working on getting myself a name worthy of you clever cat peeps!
In the mean time, do we have a Lasagna spotting in the 3rd row?
http://instagram.com/p/Pjf8lPMf3j/
I can’t remember the last time she was mentioned or made an appearance.
I see the resemblance. But no, that’s not Lasagna..
Definitely Lasagna-y. I am not convinced it’s not her. Look at Donkey there, front row and clinging to her man like a suckerfish. My Cankleshausen is acting up so badly. Honey, the world gets it — YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND.
“like a suckerfish” Perfect description!
I still think it’s Lasagna. Though I agree there’s no reason for her to be at NYFW, the same can be said about Donks… and yet, there she is again.
My Cankleshausen flares for all 3 of ‘em.
Zang Toi would NEVAH this Julie Tramp.
This is definitely a gate-crash. His clients have money and PAY
for his beautiful designs. They aren’t grifters like la Donk.
Why would Lasagna be going to NYFW?
To take candid fauxtos of D0nkey & LackaSacka?
According to her on Twitter, they’re no longer in touch.
Stupid donkey made an appearance in my dream last night. I’ve got to stop visiting this website.
I had a dream Meaghan Asha lived in my basement and listened to Springsteen all the time. What the hell?
me too! I dreamed she was staying with me and was being all diva-ish.
She’s invading dreams for God’s sake. How much more famous can you get?
the best dream i ever had was just chilling with madonna at the mall, going shopping. it was awesome.
she wrote some insane shit at about 3am on her twitter. some fan-douche twittered her “so happy u found someone u deserve it!” and she tweeted back some shit about LOVING him and jumping on a couch a la tom cruise. it is to BARF.
Ha! Well, I’ll just leave this bit of history here, which is why I suspect Donk was so interested in the stupid bridal blog post:
http://julia.nonsociety.com/post/24174738
So in short, she’s now contemplating the theory that she only gains weight in relationships because she’s been a bossy control freak instead of “happy”? Clearly she’s only happy when she’s playing that role, so good luck with cutting back on that, Donktard.
She meant it at the time, but that was four years ago — nobody cares!
Donktard=love
Yeah she probably gained weight from all the cooking she claims she did at the time – cooking salads.
I’m sure it had nothing to do with not having a job and loafing on her married boyfriend’s couch 12 hours a day. It was because she was happy, and cooking a lot, a lot of salads.
@JuliaAllison
It was a brainstormy kinda night here in New York City.
The scheme-juices have been a-flowin’ over at the grifter brain trust.
so tavi gevinson (age 16) tweets: proud of myself for finally changing all the Beyonce in my iTunes to Beyoncé, with an accent. is this what being an adult is like?
and julia answers her: no.
but this sounds exactly like something donkey would do, and then proudly tweet about, as her only accomplishment for the day. she is a perfectionist, you know!
What a dumb kid. Being an adult is all about pink tutus and tiaras.
Being a cunt to a 16 year old fan is such an adult thing to do.
i doubt tavi is a “fan” of julia — she’s probably more famous than donks is. but yeah, twunty fo sho.
Probably? Tavi gets invited to sit front row at any show she wants, Anna Wintour knows who she is, etc etc.
Julia is a laughingstock and no one considers her to be anything within the fashion world.
Note: I’m not saying Tavi deserves the attention, but she gets far more than Julia
Holy crap, I didn’t even know who this girl is, but she makes my life complete now.
(Anna always beats me to everything, that betch)
Oh, she’s THAT kid, I didn’t recognize the name. OK, now it’s clear Donk was a jelly twunt, not just a twunt.
At half JABa’s age, Tavi has twice as many twitter followers, has a book out that’s destined to be a runaway best seller, has been on Jim Fallon — and he loved her, knows Anna Wintour personally yet feels no need to pretend she is “covering” fashion week, and is an actual role model and adored by “all the girls”. She created a wildly popular website, RookieMag, an offshoot of her celebrated and immensely popular personal blog, and was invited to give a TED lecture, that has been watched subsequently by over 200,000 people, and appears to be actual friends with Lena Dunham. Yet she feels no need to brag about herself as if she is a “brand” or “founder” or “social media expert”.
HALF JABa’s age. Just sayin’.
I have a soft spot for Tavi. She actually produces content, has an informed, unique point of view – and is half Julia’s age.
I just watched her TED talk and was so impressed with her ability to present herself like she did in front of a group like that at her age. I am now wondering why she even bothers acknowledging the Donkey.
tavi is awesome
that’s an ok meta joke on growing up for a teenage fashion pop culture mogul who has already accomplished more in a few short years than many people do in a lifetime
mocking tavi: jealous and fat, no doubt
JABa’s use and understanding of the web seems just so outdated and tired. Posting thousands of pictures of herself on FaceBook, humblebragging on twitter, stupid lipdubs and fake interviews …
She wasn’t a part of the action early enough and hasn’t been around for long enough to be of interest even as a relic. So many activist innovators were here decades before her, and even the dreaded mommy bloggers have leapfrogged beyond her stilted and self-absorbed level of interaction.
Youngsters like Tavi (and many many more examples exist) — the truly talented creative types who understand the technology and how to engage their audience/participants — have easily surpassed her and never even noticed her in the rearview mirror as they sped by.
And JABa’s ultimate legacy? Humiliating herself on an embarrassment of a reality show in a last desperate attempt to be noticed. And failing to leverage even that faint hope into anything of value, she winds up as a dingy rhinestone bejazzled to the grifter underbelly.
Cautionary tale indeed.
i would like to receive your newsletter
+
er, +1
Stupid keyboard sticks.
Yes!
Such a good breakdown of what has happened with her.
Yes! (But she still has the best online haters in the world)
I’ve been wondering that. I know there are some general sites like this, but does anyone else have their own site like this? Or is Julia really a special snowflake in one way only … uniting the world in hate at her bullshit antics?
Pioneer Woman has a giant anti-fan site.
Julie is super jelly of Tavi. Being a bitch to her is horrendous PR. Tavi love forever!
Really? She’s BFF with that grifter Brayn Boy, isn’t she?
I’m not going to judge a 15 year old for falling for a con that fooled a lot of adults.
Real adults date gay adults of the opposite sex-gawd that 16 y.o. has so much to learn.
BOSSY PIG OF LOVE
by Donkey
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Butter.
Butter who?
Butter stop nagging your man or you’re gonna be round, alone, and blue!
LOL hi everybody as you may have guessed, it’s ME, DONKEY! This Lord’s Day finds me exhausted from my Central Park photo shoot. All I want to do right about now is take off my church pearls, strap on a feedbag full of salt and vinegar Ruffles and go to town, but first I’d like to take a moment to set a few things straight for all the critics out there who don’t believe my life can be a warm Cookie Monster snuggie with delightful crumbs in every fold.
My boy bought me this to help me take care of me:
Thank Sheesh for my fellow bloggers who inspire me to become the non-nagging nagless nag I need to be in order to successfully corral my man. It feels good knowing there are others out just like me who are determined to preserve LOVE!!! and trap it in their hearts like those fancy amber paperweights with scorpions stuck forever inside.
TRUE LERVE:
Before everyone starts insulting the other bloggers I recommend, I just want to say– The reason why we crazy bitches who aren’t even obese still FEEL fat and can’t stop banging our kneecaps with the blunt handles of butter knives is because we worry too much about our man looking at titties on the street or reaching for a beer, when what we should be worried about is him telling us how beautiful we are at least 70 times per week in between our manicures and dance lessons.
Once I start taking care of ME, it’s his job to join in and fill the hole!
For those of you who believe the type of woman I am is some sort of mythical Cerberus from another dimension, well, you’re right and wrong. We ARE giant hounds that guard the gates of hell who will stop at nothing to be married and happy, but otherwise, we’re real people full of genuine, beautiful feelings, dontchaknow? What’s wrong with me if I want my man to join me in taking care of ME? If he loves me he should be doing whatever it takes to prevent stroking my every stale feeling with a Tagalong cookie!
True Lerve Backup Plan… JUST SAY NO!
Even though my close friend Miss Jenks can really drag out some self-help, I ask you to recognize the impressive fact that she is married (to a SURGEON I might note), and she does seem like a less crazy ho than I am which is why THIS donkey’s playing it smart and hitching herself to THAT wagon. Wait, did I say that? I meant, I support ALL THE GIRLS and my life is too good to be true WITHOUT junk food or judging my drunken Tiny Prince every time he comes home from a gay bar still wearing a rainbow cock ring.
Wuh-oh.
All that said, I saved the biggest reason why I share a “kindred spiritedness” with this Sarah girl– Hate on haters, because we both look exactly like Kate Middleton, see:
Kate Middleton
Sarah Jenks

Stay tuned dear readers… Central Park photos coming soon!

God that cookie looks good to me right now.
how can it be anything close to sanitary to insert a needle thru that much spackle?
That says a lot about Dr. Bobby dirty feet that he doesn’t even require that his clients wash their damn face before injecting them with needles..
When I get Restylane in the nasolabial crevices, the nurse uses alcohol swipes over the areas that will be injected.
In her mind, Spackle=Sparkle!
Appear in public without makeup???? Real feminists prefer MRSA, tyvm.
Given Kate Middleton’s current ass pictures, she is starting to share similarities with The Donkey.

We are working to build a company for the long-term, focused on products at the intersection of machine learning, relationship mapping, big data, and beautiful design.
The greatest predictor of human happiness is the strength of one’s relationships and the greatest predictor of professional success is degree of one’s connection to others.

I know somebody who is need of a job and who loves start-ups. DONKEY. Only, she has practically none of the skills listed. Definitely no social grace but I will give her tenacious and having a “special spice”, if by that you mean smelling unwashed.
Twinkerballs is going to LOVE working out of the Castro.
WTH indeed — why would Mulia Mallison insinuate herself as a middle-donkey in Connect’s hiring process? Someone w/ no work skills of their own surely isn’t even remotely qualified to be part of the screening process …
Maybe she’s an advisor/angel investor. And by that I mean she has an account and she wants to sleep with the CEO.
That must be it.
There are Donkey prints all over that posting upon closer reading. It’s right up her alley re: “relationship mapping.”
LOL. Great idea!
And this: “Analytical as well as emotional intelligence”
I didn’t read the whole job description but noticed the mention of the “spacious home in the Castro” — they’re probably moving into or just moved into The Villa, which is the house Hermione et al rented for their Bravo show.
Julia Allison: Flying LGA-ORD to pick up @Lillydog (who has been staying w/ her grandparents). It could be a hostage situation. They might not let her go.

@astrologyzone – I just had a HUGE breakthrough with my life purpose / career next steps last night, Sept 15th. (I’m Pisces / Gemini rising)
1st Step: Get a fucking job.
2nd Step: Don’t get fired from the fucking job.
That was easy. Didn’t really require donkeystorming or whatever the hell she claimed.
It’s especially hilarious that she tweeted that to an astrology twitter account. LOL
Absolutely.
“I’m Pisces / Gemini rising”
Is that supposed to be significant?
Such a loser.
FIRE THEM
In her defense, that astrologer asks her followers to send her items like that. I used to follow this astrologer until she started publicly kissing Lindsay and Dina Lohan’s ass recently. That’s an instant unfollow.
How many times has she done this? Prematurely rushed to Twitter and Facebook to pronounce that HER LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE HER PARADIGMS ARE SHIFTING SHE’S HAD A BREAKTHROUGH HER FUCK-YOU MONEY IS ON ITS WAY. And every time it’s followed by either abject failure or dead silence. She is such a gigantic tool. For once in her life, can she consider discretion? Just once? So as not to humiliate herself again?
One day she’ll tell the story of this week…
My fave stories in this vein are the times she tried to tell (Redacted) that she had “big ideas” etc about his company and was very put off that he didn’t seem to give a shit about them. How dare he!
Always “big ideas” with this one. Never any actual results. For someone who has had big ideas for so long, you’d think she’s have more to show for it than a failed hobby blog/”business”, numerous firings from reputable publications, and a little watched reality show.
Her only big idea is how to inveigle herself into the orbit of whomever is trending at the moment and working their connections, hoping it will lead to something not too hard to do that pays a lot of money, provides her a lot of public exposure, and/or provides lucrative grifting opportunities.
She is a leech, basically, who uses her appearance and “fame” as currency. One wonders how long that can actually continue to work for her. These tech types are not dumb, they have to know she’s a walking joke and a total trainwreck by now.
It is so great that she wasn’t able to shut this site down. She is damaged goods for the world to see.
yeah, but that would be so much less unfunny for us!
The paradigms are shifting again!
I love that she notated the date for posterity. MARK YOUR CALENDARS, HATERS! This will be on the final exam!
yeah, especially when there’s a timestamp on the tweet.

“It’s important to be in professions in which you care about the metric of success.” – a very wise Chelsea Clinton in Vogue
As role models go, Donkey could do (and has done) a fuck of a lot worse than Chelsea Clinton. Chelsea accomplishes more in one day than Donkey will in a lifetime.
Not only that, but Chelsea Clinton was called an awkward unattractive kid by Wayne Campbell when she was 13. Donkey, in her late 20′s, had Dad$ers harass random people on the Internet because they had the nerve to talk about the plastic surgery she sometimes denies even happened.
two words: Miss Pennystock.
Thank god she got that Harvard MBA.
It is a testament to her stone bone laziness that she couldn’t even get it together to go to business school, even an “executive MBA” thingie, to trawl for wallets. Dadsers would certainly have paid.
It would be amazing to be a fly on the wall when Robin & Peter discuss Goat Soap. The mixture of disappointment and embarassment must be exquisite.
@Afghani, I WOULD LOVE THAT!!!! Peter Baugher is crying in Robin’s cranberry guacamole as we speak!
ASSuming that Mom$er & Dad$er even converse. With each other. About D0nkey. Been dodging it for years; why is now any different?

Is there an echo in here here here ?
Like shilling for Cheesy Skillets?
But Julie does have thick skin — at least around the nostrils.
Her nostrils look to be thick as ear lobes.
So. Weird.
And thighs.
And what the hell is her metric of success? How much she can con others out of and how much attention she can get?
It makes me sick that she cherry-picks quotes from famous people and smugly tweets them, pretending as if she is following this sage advice herself and that just tweeting it makes her seem wise. And then idiots retweet the quotes and she gets more followers as a result. It’s essentially intellectual grifting.
You might also want to follow in her footsteps, get a damn job, and step out of the limelight. Just a thought.

“Seeing the good in others starts with seeing the good in ourselves.” – Cheryl Richardson
Will Donkey ever realize that twatting quotes she’s thinks are deep, does not make her deep by proxy? Will Donkey ever realize the the quotes she chooses are almost always insignificant gibberish? Will Donkey ever realize everything she ever says is also insignificant gibberish?
Obviously the answer is a resounding, “FUCK NO!”, to all of these questions, but Gregdamn I hate that shit. You’re not intelligent because you quote actually intelligent people. Idiot Donkey is an idiot.
i need to think about me more
i don’t think about me enough
what do you think about me?
I don’t think this quote MEans what she thinks it MEans.
I like to think that Donkey truly believes this. And since her current, greatest-love-affair-of-all-time has made her the happiest person in the history of all time, then she must see all of us the most jealously-loving-fan-fucks of all time. She loves us now! Super!

Okay, she is so mentally ill. She is either the hugest liar… and we know she is — or more of a pathetic sad sack than previously thought.
You’re 32, live the life you want. Cut the fucking cord, if you’re not happy, ask why you give 2 shits about people’s perceptions of you. Get help. Figure out what makes you happy and do it. It’s called being a grown up.
Also, Devin Stetler.
The cord is attached to her only vi$ible means of income, though. Not saying that is right, just saying that she is unemployable and won’t do that. She’ll suck it up (and tweet hateful things about her parents) in order to get the check and the dog.
looks like you’re having fun all right.

No, you jealuz, haters, she’s en pointe!
Fun makes her feel guilty? Too bad being an asshole doesn’t weigh as heavily on her conscience.
Guaran-fucking-teed her parents gave her the riot act about the past two weeks of crazy. To uptight WASPs like them, something like Burning Man is appalling. I mean, it’s one thing if Julia works her ass off all year and takes a week off from work for something like Burning Man, but she does absolutely nothing and then flounces off to the desert for a week to do drugs and act crazy with her grifter boyfriend.
” Momsers and Dadsers see that Devin doesn’t have a job or any way to support their spoiled daughter’s lifestyle, and that they’ll be on the hook for her forever and ever.
Then off to Fashion Week to do god-knows-what. Dadsers probably beat the “Get a job” drum and Julia took that as “My mean parents hate fun
Guaran-fucking-teed her parents gave her the riot act about the past two weeks of crazy.
Heh. Good luck taking that to the bank …
Hard to imagine that her 2nd weak (<– yes, I mean what you know) @ Burning Man was the straw that finally broke the d0nkey's back … not when you consider that these are the same parent$ who posed w/ & fauxtographed w/ KinderWhore on a church altar …
on the hook for her AND for him
not what they had planned t all
Yup. I know a few parents of kids just like Julia. Waiting and waiting and WAITING for some guy to come along and take care of their crazy ass daughters so they no longer have to be on the hook for them. Sexist, yes, but people like this exist.
A friend’s cousin could have been a Julia Allison twin. Her rich-but-not-rich-enough-to-support-her-forever parents were ecstatic when at age 32 their daughter finally found a “wealthy” man to take care of their jobless socialite daughter. They were engaged within six months and her parents threw her a gigantic and garish wedding. Turns out the wealthy husband is not as wealthy as they thought and now they’re on the hook for both their daughter AND her husband AND their new baby! Forever, and ever!
karma, that bitch, she rulz
Peter Baugher wants a boyfriend he can brag about at The University Club. Devin Stetler is not that boyfriend. She has gone from dating a super wealthy prestigious guy to a guy with no job, no ambition who reads Warcraft fan fiction and runs around the desert in dolphin shorts. And is gay.
THIS. And I love it. Eat shit, Peter Baugher.
YEP . I agree. I don’t even think they have to yell at her. At this point in life for JA, I’d wager that just being around other normal humans with jobs, careers etc, makes her feel inadequate. Hence the ‘WOO HOO I’m so awesome’ overcompensation.
Wait , so being a drag in drag at Burning Man wasn’t fun?
Isn’t it amazing how we heard NOTHING about burning man this year? Compare it to last year. She MUST have left early.
…or spent the entire time inside the OMG-RV because of the sand.
Seems to me that Mr. and Mrs. Baugher, for the first time in a while, have her boxed into a corner on the whole responsibility/job thing and are probably pressing the issue. Think about it. Over the past few years she always had something to stand behind as career/future oriented if she had to defend herself. Non-Society was a “business,” she “covered” Fashion Week, Tribune Media, the television show, and so on.
For the first time, she’s got nothing lined up. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I am sure Petey and Robin have taken of this.
And yes, I knew they are the worst of the enablers. Doesn’t change the fact that she no longer has even the most miniscule of bread crumbs to throw out when pressed on how she’s going to support herself.
No only does she have nothing going on (LOL writing a book), but she’s on the hook for steep rent every month until May.
But she has her Julia Allison website!
Full of exciting updates, interactive features, and give-aways! Sponsored posts about the events and products she cares most about, insider stories of what it’s really like to film a reality show or attend NYFW, Burning Man, etc., live with a kook roommate in LA! Glossy photo albums of her and her many friends pitching in to support all the important causes they support and believe in, annotated with amusing anecdotes her friends have shared. Lots of links to interesting people and helpful topics. Fashion, food, travel, art, activism, life, love, health, careers, and MORE!!
Oh. Wait.
No.
It’s a static pink page with pictures of Julia that archives old articles she managed to get published elsewhere.
Sorry.
My bad.
“kooky” is what i meant, typo sssf
She’s obviously going to try desperately to sustain this notion that Miss Advised has a shot in hell of being renewed. Gives her a few months of treading water time. She’ll also keep pretending to be writing a book that will never materialize. That should keep her going at least a few more months.
I’m sure she’s desperately angling for a ring at this point to keep everyone including herself distracted for at least another year. She can’t very well be expected to have a job when she’s planning her magical fairytale wedding extravaganza!
yes, I suppose with a ring she’d get a “small” wedding gift of a hundred thou or so from the enablers …
They don’t have that kind of money. If they did, she wouldn’t have had to leave NY.
I suspect the prospect of going home to Chicago Sunday to face the parental music is what occasioned the New York “brainstorming” session (term used very loosely where Julia is concerned) on Saturday night. Shades of that “listening tour” she got Peter Baugher to do to convince him she was actually doing things with her life instead of spinning her wheels. Rich.
This is what I thought too. Had to come up with a game plan AND if her parents read her twatter, had to toss it out before she got there that shut up, parentals! I have major life plans happening! Don’t even start with your get-a-job shit!
That’s a good theory. I heard all her wild Pancakes Twitter/blog exaggerations were for her parents’ benefit. I totally believe that. What a loser. Cut the ties, dumb ass. Which means stop relying on them for money and dog care or do as they say and get a job.
Seems to me that Mr. and Mrs. Baugher, for the first time in a while, have her boxed into a corner on the whole responsibility/job thing and are probably pressing the issue.
Doubt it.
Also the problem is not having fun, dickhead. The problem is traipsing around the universe looking for excuses to wear costumes in lieu of having any adult responsibilities whatsoever (like, I don’t know, a fucking JOB, paying your own damn rent, taking care of your pets, etc). what a spoiled brat.
@JuliaAllison: “Why is fun important? Aside from overall satisfaction, it greases all areas of your life – relationships to career to creativity to giving.”
Yeah, it greases every area of your life, except the PALM AREA. Time to get a job sister.
Whatever quotes she can find to justify her lazy entitled joke of an existence.
I would love to have more fun. But I need to pay my rent so I work a lot. This is one of the hallmarks of her bullshittery – finding semi-scholarly justifications for her failures. See, e.g., Tim Ferris love, “nomadic lifestyle” crap.
Giving? What the hell does a Donkey know about giving? Genuinely curious.
Right? She does know about grease, though. Just take a look at the pelts.

This is the best I’ve seen her look in a long time. She should’ve worn this to the Betsey Johnson show last week, complete with iphone blocking her face.
Honestly? This is the best she has looked in, like, a year. I hate her for having big calfs and finding boots that fit. (I can never find boots.) She looks healthy and not Burning Many weird/cray/fat. SS SF if this has been covered but her cray goes on full display right before being home and or going back to Marina del Bray.
10 or 11 inch high cowboy boots always fit. It’s when you go over 12 inches that your calf measurement starts to be an issue. I have pretty much only cowboy boots for this reason, because like Our Julie, I suffer from Cubist Calf syndrome.
I sincerely hope that your intention was for me to LMAO @ Cubist Calf Syndrome, cuz I just did.
I have to laugh about it, or I would never stop crying. OH BEAUTIFUL KNEE HIGH BOOTS, YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE MINE
I think she looks like she hasn’t slept in a week. Also, tweeting iphone photos of your outfits from airport bathrooms for all your non-fans is just so sad. Put the phone down, read a book, take a few deep breaths, try a mood stabilizer etc. She makes me tired.
Just the thought process. “I am in an airport bathroom. I am looking HOT in my cowboy boots and short shorts. My legs aren’t as fat as those assholes say they are. I am going to take a picture and post it. I’LL SHOW THEM!!!”
Completely and utterly demented.
it’s actually a relatively normal traveling outfit
how much sideways size are those bags hiding?
It is incredible, no? A 31-year-old woman posting pathetisad airport bathroom self-portraits to the multitudes of fake followers on twitter and FaceBook.
I’d give a teenager a pass on this a few years ago, but who in their right mind does this now? It’s a tired joke that’s even passed the point of being an overworked meme.
My 15-year-old stepdaughter declined to post a cute picture of her — that I took — while we were travelling on a major city subway. Then again, gorgeous and young as she is, she’s not a conceited narcissist and doesn’t want to alienate her friends with a wall full of look-at-me!!! pics. She’s got kick-ass self confidence, is well traveled, involved in state and national sports competitions, and puts in actual hard work and gives her personal time to a number of worthy causes she’s passionate about. She not only doesn’t see the need to broadcast every little thing about herself all over the interwebz, she’s appalled by the very idea. True story.
I thought of this too. This kind of sad attention-seeking behavior would MAYBE be understandable for a teenager. She cannot experience the most mundane of stupid bullshit without sharing it. It’s an illness at this point.
But wait, what if cowboy boots aren’t really FUN? What if they just ‘ look’ fun? what if they are just an imitation of fun? I IS WORRIIIEDD!
She has to measure everything by ‘fun’, and by fun I mean ‘ego’ because she has no larger goals or purpose. Drifting from one shallow amusement to another like a fish in a tank. That is why it feels so deeply inauthentic, even to her.
This is a good cautionary tale for me as I work on my own ego.
HERE we go!

sorry cannot embed. Dur.
What’s even “weird” about this?!?! It’s shorts and a sweater. WOW SO PECULIAR. Any pretense to take photos of herself I guess.
that’s probably O’Hare Airport ladies john—-
what a loser. And, yes, Hick-tastic.
What happened to the Juicy Velour Couture outfits? Those were damn
awful too, Julie!
Moar stinky outfits!
You rang yourself, SVC. How very meta.
Aaannndd she’s back to publicly slagging off the WinkleVoss twins again:
https://twitter.com/nickbilton/status/247526861624729600
Why can’t she see the good in them?!? They were just having fun.
Having read enough about the Facebook fiasco, I personally feel like they’re over-privileged assholes who simply had their egos busted, yet at the same time were also kind of dicked over. The ridiculous settlement kind of supports that.
Then again, neither I, nor Donkey, has an actual donkey in this fight. So, who gives a fuck.? Not a single Zuckerberg gives a shit what either of us has to say.
They ended up walking away with absurd amounts of money. The End.
“They ended up walking away with absurd amounts of money. ”
which, they argue, could have been more
just because they are rich and got paid a lot doesn’t mean they maybe shouldn’t have been paid more
That was years ago, who even remembers. Apparently, Donkey.
apparently she thinks this will get her in good with the zucks again.
She’s best friends with Facebook’s sister! She is personally affronted by them!
Asshole, they got paid that settlement because they obviously had a good case. Go sit the fuck down.
What’s with these dinner pics she’s been posting of PencilDonk-prepared pescatarian-friendly meals where Timothy Sykes always seems to show up? It looks like they’re the last three left on Survivor or something.
They were sleeping on his couch.
Oh that’s right I forgot. I guess he would happen to show up a lot at dinner since since it’s his dining room table…
Oh that Timothy! Ever the polyamorous slut, even when he’s on grifter down time. Why don’t her parents understand the three are just having fun!
He is always in his retarded fifth grade t-ball baseball shirt. He literally is a boy. Which is odd since she insists she wants a man. A man usually has a job.
Donk’s flunky is a full time job.
he has worn that shirt for like three days straight, according to donk’s feedtime twitter updates.
Maybe it was just one food fauxtoshoot. Storing up for many OMGhessogreat posts later.
Kinda like her whole “week” at BM.
bad table setting bad china bad flatware, cheap pyrex cookware
I especially like how they have water in the delicate wine glasses. Try-hards trying too hard.
To be fair, Tim’s wine is probably spoiled, since the wine rack is sitting next to the window and on top of the radiator.
But it’s a north-facing window w/ luxury caulk!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I die forever. He is so fucking elegant and classy.
Do these freaks eat fish 7 nights a week?
“I never eat meat!!!”
Did you guys already cover this in the comments? http://thestir.cafemom.com/entertainment/139834/5_celebs_whose_plastic_surgery
I saw it linked on TMZ and was dismayed to see Donkey’s Bravrolebrity nanosecond of “fame” reinforced. But nice to see her advanced aging due to injectables has been noticed far away from my mom’s basement.
Gosh, now she’ll put in her resume that she was once grouped with Courtney Cox & Jada Pinkett Smith.
wowser, pathetisad.
Haterz on a national level now bunnies! xoxo
I wonder if she’ll harass and sue that website for asserting the outlandish claim that she’s had injectables. We all know she’s totally natural except for one drop of Botox she received many years ago, and never since!!!
Listening to Howard stern …. He is ranting about how lame it is to buy twitter followers, lol!
OT: Guy Fieri’s (apparently awful) restaurant in Times Sq serves something called Donkey Sauce. For real.

I question your commitment to sparkle motion
I met Beth Grant in a theater courtyard while she was performing in a play in L.A. and she said that DARKO line to me.
Dead of jealousy. That is the single greatest line in all of cinematic history.
I’m sure she thinks her parents are just Captain Bringdown and First Officer Buzzkill for asking unfair questions like “When are you going to get a job?” and “Why do you keep asking us for money?” and “What happened to all the fudge sauce that was in the basement fridge?”
SO CRUEL THEY SHOULD BE REPORTED TO ACPS
“So what’s the plan now, Julia?”
All Roads Lead to Donkey!
Did you see that the guy who went on Fox and Friends this morning to troll Gretchen Carson went to New Trier High?
Of all places, THE DAILY SNUB (a forum for frustrated and abused job-seekers) is running an article (Are you a Coke or a Koch? Define your brand) mentioning Julia Allison (Baugher):
‘She has a proven genius for personal branding and one of the best times to re-examine your brand is when you are trying to sell yourself to a new employer.’
Oh honey … it is to laugh that you pretend to know jackshit about getting & keeping a job, nevermind that your ‘genius’ of a ‘personal brand’ = RebloggingDonk.com & purchased fans in the ‘stans but nothing more.
P.S. D0NKEY!
I’d like to know what, exactly, is Julia’s personal brand? Childish, unreliable dickhead? Seriously, somebody please explain what her personal brand is supposed it be. Countless reality stars have come & gone with the the famous for being famous. If Julia has any relevance whatsoever it’s because she is hated, and we are to thank for that, because we are so awesome.
Sorry, thumbs and being drink make me make no sense.
Nope, I tots getcha.
Never, ever reads here.
Julia Allison
about an hour ago.
I’m home in Chicago and the verdict is in! My parents like the boyfriend. (whew!!!)
NO ONE CARES. CHRIST.
Didn’t she already tweet this kinda crap already? Holy shit never has a 31 year old who’s already had about 25 boyfriends in life acted SO EXCITED about having a boyfriend. Grow up.
How much humiliation is this guy going to endure and do even 13 year olds tweet this kind of nonsense? Ugh. She sounds like an imbecile. How does she not know this?
Ha! Plus, she says she was gonna marry 23 of them!
Because she never reads here where we said they obviously don’t like him or we would have heard about it. If it took three weeks for them to give their opinion – THEY NO LIKE YOUR GAY JOBLESS BOYFRIEND.
“Honey, this isn’t about Devin. Devin’s a nice guy, really. We like him, of course we do. But when are you going to get a job? The TV show’s over and you don’t have anything going except this book you’re working on with that other girl. We can’t keep writing you checks forever, you know?”
translates into HUGE VOTE OF APPROVAL FOR TWINKERBALLS in Donkanese.
92 likes??? She must’ve strong-armed her “friends” … “Like this post or die!”
@JuliaAllison
My patents are now discussing the federal deficit. It’s getting uncomfortable.
Hilarious typo aside, they must really be reading her the riot act on getting a job.
“…because I feel like they might be trying to tell me something, but I can’t quite get it.”
MATH IS HARD!
She LOVES to make her parents seem to intellectual and they just come off sounding pretentious and boring. How long is she staying home for? Chicago Julie is my favorite. I take it No Balls is back in LA?
Prompt random The Altantic article tweet.
Oh honey it’s your gay craigslist boyfriend and industrial grade Spanx cutting circulation to your elephant legs making you uncomfortable.
Reminds me of Liz Lemon: “I just know my elastic line is going to get infected again.”
What gives with the bridal/wedding links lately, and the parents’ “approval” of Pencil? Is there an engagement coming or not?
She’s hinting as hard as she can!
I don’t see what he would use to buy her a ring with, and you know she’s the sort of fiancée who would be ultra ring-conscious.
candy coated popcorn peanuts and a prize
She’s hoping an engagement will guarantee a second season or her own spin off. Silly Donkey, you know you have to get pregnant for that to happen.
0% chance that her parents truly approve of Goat Soap as a potential husband.
“Well, we don’t hate him …” equates to “do like” in Donkinese.
“It’s your life, Jules.”
“SO YOU APPROVE!!!!”
OT, but does anyone know why MWOP is down?
Julie is in a cult, guys. Landmark Forum!
http://www.xojane.com/newagey/landmark-forum-cult
I leave this here in hopes that you “find” key words such as:
Name tags
Lululemon
Ayn Rand
I am fluent in PhDonk.
Authenticity
QVC host selling talk therapy
lol
She isn’t doing Landmark Forum, because she would fucking never stop talking about it if she was. Seriously, everyone I know who has ever done it has talked and talked non-stop about it.
She’s just fucking stupid and likes Lululemon (or Lulu Lemon, as she thinks it’s called) yoga pants because they’re chic, and refers to Ayn Rand because she wrote big books that some of the boys on her high school debate team liked.
Julie’s drinking a slightly different flavor of Kook-Aid than the Landmark flavor. For one thing, everyone in Landmark would look down on her for her lazy-ass ways; Julie prefers the “sit on your bum and dream” approach of The Secret and her BFF Tony Robbins.
Landmark Forum ah yes, cult
Just a few thoughts, as I’m traveling and not super handy with the mobile version. (I’m covering the opening of a new cupcake store for my food blog! I mean, the blog I plan to have one day. I can’t say much about it yet, but it’s going to be really big. I’ve been brainstorming like crazy. Then I’m off to Jamaica to cover a beach party for a major rum maker.)
1. Since I been traveling, I’ve been too busy running around, dealing with time zones and strange electrical outlets and iffy connections and batteries I forgot to charge, to even post much. I’ve uploaded like 1 or 2 photos (of beautiful scenery). Everyone knows I’m out of town and will catch up when I can. Nobody cares what the hell I’m wearing. My friends would die laughing if I posted random, posed, faux glamour shots of myself at every airport and security check.
2. What I probably love most about her is her delusion re the tech world. She is not a techie, nor does she create apps or innovative websites or products of any sort. She does not review apps nor gadgets nor new technology nor websites. She has no influence whatsoever. She blabbed about “personal branding” (disordered people know how to turn on the charm and the b.s.) and some people listened. I’m not techie at all, and I’ve been online since I was using Tin to read Usenet on a VT100 emulator. Somehow I slogged through the grueling task of creating Twitter and FB and Tumblr accounts without the help of Julia Allison.
3. Nobody I know, from ages 16 to 60, posts as much as she does about her high school experiences and her parents. She is 31 (32?)!!! She is obsessed with high school and college. Live your own life. Pick a career. Rent or buy your own home with your own money.
4. She is bonkers. Not fun and wacky and whimsical and original and exuberant. Just pathetically delusional and trying so, so hard to have this “fabulous life” that she is forgetting to actually live. Take a backpacking trip around Europe and don’t blog about it. Just enjoy the experience and spend time relating too each other. Keep a paper travel journal and post photos later.

Why are you being so rational? It’s worrisome.
