Ok we get it "big-time book editor". You are familiar with Gertrude Stein. But she was talking about Oakland, not people. Do you say "there's no there there" through the bathroom door when you're out of toilet paper?

Kari knows she comes off as friendly and personable, which is why she's able to manipulate people so skillfully.

Yeah, but then again, everyone that's coming out of the woodwork knew there was some bullshit about her, and it seems like almost all of 'em called her on her crazy fabrications leading her to skip to the next group of unsuspecting hipsters.. She gets some credit for being the social butterfly and initiating the relationships, but she loses points for being so over-the-top victim that it was obvious to most who came in contact with her...

A "big-time book editor" who is able to put the phrase "Totes jk, y'all" into someone's mouth is either a total prick or utterly awesome.

I do like the "Death of Chatterton" look of the above pic.

So just don't give her an advance. Let her share profits instead via the Harper Studio model.

@Mount_Prion: She'd just be up in the HarperCollins offices every day, begging for a cup of coffee, stealing books, rummaging through desks, trying to give Jonathan Burnham a hand job with her mouth (good luck with that, hon). Nah. No deal for her.

Man, the PD is really dropping the ball; it would be so easy to nab this grifty little female. Her cover is blown in New York, she is obv. headed south, maybe to Philadelphia? Cops there need to send a crew of undercover mannish boys out to the Khyber, all bearded up and dressed like hipsters (read: dorks) for a few nights, flashing plenty of cash and drink tickets. America's Most Wanted is begging for this.

Also: Doree S. is big-time awesome. Keep it up, toots.

@BookishLookish: Khyber? Nah -- Kungfu Necktie in NoLibs or Royal Tavern in South Philly. Also, both Lily Allen and Flight Of The Conchords are in town tonight, so TLA or Tower Theater, respectively . . .

The only people who sincerely praise something as "intensely dark and fucking weird" either wear Axe body spray or are already dead by their own hand.

I submit there are three types of people who deal with grifters: Those who enjoy playing games with the grifter, those who are suckered by the grifter and those who catch a whiff of neediness and drama and stay the hell away.
