I did watch the clip. I noticed how she said she has "never dated" a hedge fund mangager. This is my point exactly.

I have a hard time beliving a hedge fund mangager, investment banker or anyone sharp enough to make it on Wall St. would date her.

She likes the sleezy politicians, because they are sleezy, and the geeky tech guys, because they are geeky. Smart, polished, respectable finance guys smell this skank a mile away...and run. This is what those types of men call a liability. I'd love to see this airhead 10 years from now. She is going to be a sad mess. Beauty fades, stupidity stays.

@The Default Attorney, @Matto: I'd be inclined to agree if I hadn't read this article over at Media Bistro: [mediabistro.com]

Makes me kinda sad, really.

Another case of accusations leading to attention, rebuttals leading to publicity.

There are a lot of bitter comments. Sure. I'll go even further and say that there are a lot of opinions here.

Honestly, I don't care how unintelligent, unattractive, she is and I don't care about a lack of talent and choice in friends. That is none of my business.

What is true, and it is what matto said, we writing in this thread, vw constantly posting posts on her and all of that only does one thing: promote her.

With that being said... no more ja comments from me. It is none of my business who anyone golddigs for and who needs attention. I just won't promote anyone. Period.

Then why are they here? Personally I see their ilk as the Kaposi's Sarcoma to our systemic decline in critical thought.

@matto: as I've said on here before, they just love to bring her up to put her down. Julia is really just serving as a target for all the guys and girls who hated the pretty girl in high school.

Lets do a quick comparison:

Julia: Has an industry spotlight on her, for better or worse.

All of you: Make do with posting bitter comments on a blog.

Now that I've put it that way, I can see that you're all totally right! She's the worthless one! All your criticism of how she's thus far failed to "monetize" her fame makes perfect sense, since we're all getting rich off blog comments.

Do adult men actually take her out in public? Every other word out of her mouth is F***. Very classy one. She hasn't quite reached womanhood yet. Silly girl. Trix are for kids.

@lawrence: Monetizing your tits is not nearly as easy as one might think. It's work. Or as the wise sage Mick Jagger once said, "You know marrying money is a full time job".

Oh Julia... Changing your image will not hide your past sins girl! Need I remind you of all the pictures your happily posted with Jakob. And your e-mail asking him to uphold a promise to buy you a macbook air while you were still together, ahh after you broke up.
Nothing can hide the fact that you think your boobs and unwitty picture poses will lead to to stardom that you so vivaciously crave. You know it one thing to be upfront and admit it. It's another to act like everyone is off their rocker when describing you. Who hurt the little Julia in you?
Get a better agent!

tawni — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 06:43:33 PDT

I call BS on this one. She has no CS training, is not a programmer and is not a Tech TV alumni. She knows nothing about the tech sector and has a history of dating rich geeks. She asks for the mac book they promised her before they broke up. Hello? Earth to Julia you are not fooling anyone with half a brain.
She is a gold digger plain and simple.

I see it. Julia is Rails*: approachable, seductive, drop dead gorgeous, surprisingly clever, prototypes rapidly but sometimes bizarre behavior makes you wonder what's going on in the core. Also, there is a whole cottage industry of people who Doubt she's ready for the big time. That would make Leven Rambin like Merb, Rails' faster, less mature little sister. People turn to her for, um, performance. Mary Rambin is Mongrel, the incredibly useful Rails webserver created by a guy who hates Rails and everything it stands for. It's passive-agressive software! What's Meghan Asha? Maybe she's Capistrano, providing the backing to deploy Rails to every corner of the globe. Or maybe she's acts_as_ferret because this thread needs a ferret, dammit!

( *Rails fans have a saying, something like, Goddamit! Don't go comparing Rails to a woman, we actually want chicks to be comfortable in our community! Whoops, sorry Rails guys.)

hedge fund guys arent doing so well at the moment, but I think the critique is less about gold digging then it is social climbing in the tech world, an aspiration to become a tech celebrity, "famous" among smart people who do cool things. I think its more interesting then a grasping socialite who wants who is famous for being famous ala a hills cast member or a friend of paris hiltons.

I think everyone here should actually listen to that entire show before they comment. (And no, the excerpts aren't representative.)

Julia comes off like a completely different person than you think she is. I know you don't wanna hear it, but she comes off funny, self-effacing, smart.
