Stephanie Klein Sells Self Down The River

stephk.jpgSixth grade: No one looked good. In promotion of her new book, Moose: A Memoir of Fat Camp, notably redheaded blogger Stephanie Klein recounts some of her most awkward moments. (She used to look weird, you know.) In the clip after the jump, she shows a forged note from a childhood's crush claiming he's in love with her. Looks like we found our next Margaret Seltzer!

    What? No exploiting her children for press? She HAS changed.

  • Darn, when I read the name "Moose", I thought it was the girl from You Can't Do That On Television. My disappointment runs deep today.

  • I went to her site (can't help it, thing for red heads) and after seeing what she named her kids I would like 5 minutes of my life back.

  • Surfbeavernsb is totally kicking himself right now.

  • Actually, 'Straight Up And Dirty' was quite good. You have to hand it to someone you can be so honest and open. Most people don't have that ability.

  • She's so very, very inspiring, and deep!

  • and she was so very relevant back in the Coen-era.

    "She's a fire crotch, too"? Fucking awesome tag.

  • Not that long ago -- well, certainly well-within my memory -- there was a fairly famous gay male pornstar named "Moose."

    So, when I was skimming though Gawker and caught the title of this book, I pretty much naturally assumed it was a boldly forthcoming and richly detailed account of Moose's many formative experiences at "fat camp" with a strapping, libidinous ex-Marine turned counselor whose hands-on brand of encouragement transformed "Moose" from a chunky teenager into a brawny, rugged, sex-crazed muscle god.

    But then I saw Stephanie Klein's picture.

    Frankly, she looks nothing at all like Moose.

  • I remember seeing the cover art for this book when it was still being published by ReganBooks. Glad to see she found a new publisher for her project.

    Oh yea, and one that isn't a psycho bitch.

  • SK=The original Julia Allison.

  • Well, Madonna likes her style...
       

  • Stephanie Klein is quite possibly the most self-absorbed asshole on the planet.
    Her Greek Tragedy website had its mocksite (my god, she IS Julia Allison). Was called "A Tale of Two Sisters" & it used to make me pee myself.
    Was hoping her suburban mommy life would take over & she would go away, forever.

    @Kelly Kreth:
    Anyone else feel a twinge of ire when they see Kelly Kreth, a fameball for doing nothing except getting fired for blogging and writing about her asshole, trying to criticize uber fameballs JA & SK?

    I mean, really Kelly...who are you kidding? Think maybe you're a bit of hypocrite? Are you not a wannabe famous for blogging, wanna be famous for being a sex columnist fameball? Because I'm thinkinG someone who sends e-mail to Gawker staff announcing her breast reduction in the hopes of gettign her own 15 minute kinds falls in the same attention whoring category as JA & SK.

    And, please spare me the now typical, "Omigod, aren't I like SO witty?" comeback. Are you really above them to the point where you're justified in criticizing them? Or are you doing it in the hopes that it will endear you to Gawker readers because you want to be the next T. Smalls?

    @ingabelle: That was some of the best writing I've ever seen on a blog. Who ever created that parody blog was a genius.
