Is awkward-teen-pic-posting a way to appear less narcissistic than you really are? Even though curly-headed divorcebloggist-turned-chicklit-er Stephanie Klein's website is chock-full of pics chronicling herself and friends looking alternately happy, drunky, or contemplative, she wants you to know that she's still real, just like us. And she used to look weird! Is this the blog-version of the "I used to be a nerd in highschool" line that celebs are always proclaiming? [Greek Tragedy]

This website is like a bad John Hughes movie. I want my 5 minutes back, Sheila.
rich nerds are always better off than poor freaks
Stephanie Klein! Now there's a blast from the past.
This woman needs one more angle. I think perhaps if she were now a man? Or an alien? Or didn't have legs. Then I would read about her.

Oh shit, not this one again.
this is the biggest discovery since that time i saw peter greene at the holiday cocktail lounge.
that was incredible because he actually understood the old man.
@Codepink: I'm too popular to read. Or write.
The hand-drawn cooch would be a handsome addition to any serious art collector's portfolio.
@nutmeg: I dare someone to go to Jezebel and call this girl fat.
@Furious_George: Go back to the website and hold your mouse over the picture. Actually I'll save you the trouble. The filename is skfat.jpg.
@Mary Mouse: No kidding. Alls I know about Stephanie Klein is that she blogged about anal sex once two and a half years ago or something, and since then she's apparently become a retarded matriblogger like Rebecca Eckler.
I read the post about her dad being her best friend:
Things I learned from my father:
1. To pretend I have a small hole in the seat of my pants, to lure an innocent in closer, to then "brootz" in their face.
[stephanieklein.blogs.com]
I really regret reading that. I think "brootz" might mean "splooge."
@Furious_George: The Jezzies would hate her more - she's proclaiming how far she's come, now that she's skinny! Stephanie Klein is to fat chicks as Larry Craig is to the gay community.
It's more "I was a nerd in high school, but it didn't scar me. Look how hot I am now. PLEASE LOOK AT HOW HOT I AM NOW. P L E A S E !!1!1!"
(Not that I know anything about this. I was 'popular'. Not the way a slutty girl was popular, but more like well-regarded.)
She figures if pposing in a one piece worked for Emily ...
@Pope John Peeps II: Oh wow, it is all coming back to me. Remember the parody site she sued? It's still up: [taleoftwosisters.blogspot.com]
Now I just need to remember what the hell we did back in 2005 to make Gawker start ignoring her. I think you all know why.
The site that promotes JA calls Stephanie Klein narcissistic?
@Mary Mouse: For me, it was that she blogged about using Pam when having sex "in the roman way". That did me in.
@nutmeg: aww, shit girl - did you just call the jezzies fat??? I can already hear the chorus of "I'm not fat, I'm just bloated from too much sushi last night!"
@nutmeg: @Furious_George: you two really lack empathy. Fat chicks need websites, too. Surfing teh internets works up an appetite!
@the supergoddess: No no, just the fat ones.
@nutmeg: I'm kidding though. My point was more one about what SK was saying by posting her picture.
I just can't look at her name without wanting to go shoe shopping.
Klein seems to be odd but vapid. I'll take it, I've seen and read worse.
@jasonelias: but not vapid. Ahh whatever...
I have no idea why her site is blocked by my company but based on the comments here: I'm glad.
Can't stand this woman's ramblings (I was previously directed to her blog and nearly vomited), and I don't know why I did it a moment ago but I scrolled down her page.... and... if those are her kids? Crap, they're cute. Dammit. She, on the other hand, is anything but.
I'm sure it's all part of the run-up for her second memoir, which is about fat camp.
Not only is she real, but Gawker thought highly of her enough to highlight her photos back in the day. Wayyyyy back in the day. Back when Sheila herself was wearing bangs and big hair to her 5th period French class. No excuse for Denton, though. You should remember your easy targets from five years ago!
The most horribly selfish creature to ever write about herself. She's a bit less awful now that she has kids.
I have to give her credit for calling her book Moose and using a photo like that on the cover. I think that's pretty ballsy. This book sounds infinitely more intriguing than the first one and I know I certainly wouldn't want to share any photos of myself from junior high or middle school.
And @rubyruby: I agree about her little ones.
aren't all bloggers self absorbed? isn't that the point?
