@xmonkeydr: In all fairness the "Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe covered in a Louis Vuitton multicolored monogram print" is a ltd. ed. Murakami/LVMH art car, akin to the whole BMW thing, about 30 years too late and tragically curated.
I am grooving on the golden horse behind the be-ermined prince, would that be what Moses warned us about? Are drunk worship service orgies about to commence? Twitter me, princeling.
Actually, he's not really a prince of anything. Nobility and titles have no standing in German law. Any German has the right to use any "title" they wish as a part of their last name (so it's not Prinz Marcus von Anhalt but rather Marcus Prinz von Anhalt), but no one is allowed to have it as a title that precedes their names. What a waste of money, buying a name. But I guess if it makes him happy, he should just do it.
@TillieHarper: Julia Alison exists so that when nothing happens in New York/The Publishing Industry/The Media, Gawker editors have someone(thing) to write about.
I like this article. I'm quietly a bit of a fan of Julia's, simply because she fulfills all of the above criteria so awesomely, and doesn't ever fall into the pitfalls. It really does take some talent to be able to be the ultimate fameball; even if it's an obtuse and reprehensible talent to many, it's a talent nonetheless. It can't be easy. Suddenly, I feel vindicated.

For everyone who clucks about what an asshole this guy is there are three "down the shore" who are contemplating a similar career path.

I was in the running for a while, then I got a job with benefits.
One more brass ring uncaught.

Allison is a B-cup in a push-up bra.

There may well be something to that.

I still don't know who Julia Allison is? What she does? Where she came from?
I've just read the name over and over on Gawker. Other than that -- nothing.
I guess that means she's doing it right?
Or maybe I'm just a dizzy dame who don't know nothin'.
