1. could she be more nouveau?
2. did she actually know that she was being interviewed for a piece that would be like, published?

I hope she has good upper body strength bc with this in print her climb is going to get ridiculously difficult.

@QADude: And what does that tell you about her personality?

@elvenjewel: Intriguing because you don't actually know her.

@dalejo: Which will all be taken care of according to some scientific formula she's worked out, I'm sure. :)

Wow, another Marissa Mayer puff piece about how adorably quirky/interesting/smart she is and her mediocre attempts at style (and oh yeah, don't forget, she only need four hours of sleep!). Her PR team must be working overtime trying to improve her status in the SF Society pecking order. There are plenty of Googlers who are more accomplished, but they just happen to be a little more modest (and lack the society ambitions). Alert us when she actually ships a new product that matters.

There are plenty of chicks in Sili Valley, ugly, average (as in this case), and hot, who are smart.

Now... the trick is to be at the right place at the right time.

"A wall-size light panel with 576 individually placed Ping-Pong balls, which Mayer made over eight weekends spent home alone..."

Sad. Just sad. All that wealth, decent looks and still can't get a date? She lives in SOMA and can easily find something to do, but I digress...

"Once dated Google cofounder Larry Page"

Does that mean that she had an one-time Google orgy with him??

@Reginaldo FTW. By the time I got to "Also see Semen receptacle and Cum Dumpster" I was cackling. But who's going to do the photoshopping?

"Marissa is surprisingly pretty in person," says Valleywag blogger and editor Owen Thomas. "That in itself is a rarity in Silicon Valley, and you'd have to be naïve to think that doesn't color people's views of her."

Sheesh! Googirl? Didn't they, like, Google that before writing it in two-foot letter behind her head? here's the top hit: [www.urbandictionary.com]

Or perhaps she's trying to let us know something. I think we should be told.

@lex99: Even worse lex. After 576 shots of tequila I think I wound up marrying her.

But she is a riot at family reunions.

I think she's awesome and don't mind admitting a huge platonic girl crush on her. I love that she can be so awesomely smart and powerful and techy and girly. I wish there were less haters. So she can have a scary robot laugh and some of the rank and file hate her. This makes her different from other bosses with weird personal tics how...?

What a coincidence! I once saw a live "performance" involving 576 individually placed Ping-Pong balls and a woman on stage. This was in Tijuana.

A social climber who paid $60,000 to win lunch with Oscar de la Renta

And she doesn't have to pay anything to enjoy the company of Jakob Lodwick. She can use the dough on extra ping pong balls.

What a cool mix of chick and geek. Seriously. A robot pet dog. Spreadsheets for recipes. Does her own art. A strange mix of the comfortable and exotic for food. Very intriguing woman!
