    Barf-o-rama

     

    I feel like this reminds of the line in Mean Girls when they say, "stop trying to make 'fetch' happen". She needs to stop trying to make herself happen.

    when I read this, I was wondering if it was her that wrote about herself in third person

  • I think what rubs me the wrong way about her is that she's clearly using her blog as a platform for fame. Now, I know many who read that would say, "What about Pioneer Woman?" or "What about everyone getting book deals?", but, IMO, that's different. Whatever your opinion about PW, I don't get the impression she got into it to be famous. Maybe I'm naive and/or maybe she's just that good, but it seems like everything happened much more organically for her than what this Leslie is trying to push to happen. 
  • I never really liked Cupcake Wars anyway, so now I have another reason NOT to watch! :)

  • Yeah, CW just lost a few credibility points, in my mind.

    buahahahaa...oh that girl is redonkulous. If I ever run into her in LA, I might purposely barf on her!!!!!!

  • I really want a picture of her eating a hamburger.  I would send that sh*t to TMZ so fast...not that they'd cover her.  I'd feel better, though.

    But, she is happening since obviously several media outlets are interested...

    Honestly, I don't get the hate. She's seen a way to get herself out there and she's taking it. 

  • Yeah, but she's gotten there by claiming others recipes as her own. Lame.

    This. I think people would hate her less if she cited sources.

  • i have just two words for this thread:

    Mean Girls

    Okay, here's the rest:

    Whoaaaaa.

    When i turned my women's political blog into an On-Air Opportunity after nearly 1 million hits during the last presidential election, I grabbed it.  (I was a Hillary supporter back then.) Anyway, i got sooooooo much hate blogposts just like this after being on TV.....

    Seriously, what are you girls upset at? The fact that you couldn't figure out how to do the same?

    Get off the couch, go get your hair done, hire an uber-awesome PUBLICIST for $2000-5000 per month, and i guarantee, u just may be able to do the same thing.

    This is life. Get over it or Go home. Oh, you're already home, that's right.

    Hmm. Someone who joined the nest just to post to this thread. I think that says it all.

     

  • Yip! I always stand up for women.

     You ladies are not Girl's girls.

    Yip?? A sure sign of brilliance. On this board we stand up for woman to and this is a very supportive community. We don 't however support fraud. We applaud people that make it on their own through their own creative skill not by passing others recipes off as their own and flashing their boobs to get ahead. Those types are certainly not girl's girls.
