    What's scary is this girl looks almost exactly like me. The parts you can see of her, anyway.

    I hope this girl absolutely destroys this job. I hope every day she spent in that RV becomes the fuel for something powerful and incisive about the human condition. Fuck every coddled kid whose dreams she just leapfrogged - few, if any, deserve this chance as much as she does.

    @gladys_kravitz: I just checked it out in our media database and indeed, she is a contributing writer for elle. The funny thing is she's listed as, literally, Ms. E. Jean Carroll. The description says "Carroll is a Contributing Editor and writes the Ask E. Jean column. She answers letters every month and gives relationship advice to readers... Carroll has been writing her column since the early 1990s. Her work has also appeared in Esquire, Rolling Stone and Spin. Carroll also co-founded GreatBoyfriends.com, where she matches single women with men that are recommended from other women."

    @Conchie Birdie: Thanks, Conchie. There's just something about the photos that run along with the column and the whole tone of it that always make me thinks she's some kind of composite that they slapped a pic of an eccentric looking woman on.

    Well, at least Elle didn't directly contribute to the circumstances of her homelessness, and then claim credit for her "up and at 'em attitude." NYU can't say as much:

    rant #2: her car is only 4 years old? lucky bitch.

    also, guess i should apologize for the below comment insinuating she's choosing unemployment over working belittling herself to work at wal-mart. looks like she's finding a position somewhere at a npo or something.

    @Hamilton Nolan: Not sure if this is sarcastic, but look through the site dudes. A giant dog and homeless? Okay, I see the homeless or vagabonds all the time with animals. Recently saw a dog riding a motorcycle with his master and everything else they owned. But a bull mastiff?

    @klondikedog: Right? Worst case scenario wouldn't you just move back in with your parents? I realize it's not ideal, but living in your car with your dog would be way worse in my opinion.

    My other beef is that in my own worst case scenario, I'd not only be livin it up with the 'rents, I'd also be handing in applications at the Wal-mart, not just sleeping in their parking lot. That would suck ass, yes, but at some point our society needs to get over this whole entitlement, 'I wanna be a celebrity' bullshit and suck it up to survival - whatever that may be.

    (*disclaimer: I'd actually be working on an organic farm in exchange for meager pay and food. Wal-mart is part of the reason all of our jobs are now being filled in China.)

    @pattycakes:

    Really? Are you people serious?

    Maybe she doesn't have parents to move in with. Maybe she HAS put applications in to every fast food restaurant, convenience store, and gas station within a fifty mile radius.

    Do you all really think that all homeless people are dirty old "vagabonds" who live with mangy mutts?

    She's a smoking hot sports nut, and a salsa dance enthusiast married to a middle-aged and slightly paunchy I'm going to say...... real estate executive who builds high rises in Sao Paolo.


    any other guesses?

    @Pope John Peeps II: HuffPo ought to pay her back for all the free publicity they're getting from this.


    Furthermore, Brazilian women are always more attractive in real life than in photos. It has to do with the rhythmic cadences -- is that a pleonasm? -- of the Brazilian dialect of Portugese that carries over into any language they speak and their self-confidence.
