    Presented without comment:


    Make sure the dogs are comfortable:

    "On normal planes, pets are shunned," Allison says, "but on ours they get their own seats." Adds Rambin: "I used to have a dog that would get sick every 45 minutes. Pretty soon, the staff on the plane just planned for it."

    At one stage, I had a job that included chartering 4-5 flights a year, and actually going places, instead of just posing for photo-shoots in parked planes.


    This is how I know it's no problem at all to drop $180k on a G-IV going from LA to Paris and back again, with NYC stops in both directions. I also suspect that a jaunt like this (which doesn't include anything beyond jet fuel, booze and decent in-flight meals) costs quite a bit more that JA made in whole year at Star, which is also the best paid job she's probably ever had.


    In the unlikely event that her startup is grossing well over $250m a year, this 'lifestyle' begins to be plausible. But for her to do that, she'd need to come up with an actual product. Which is totally implausible.

    For the last time, there is no reality show at Bravo, no matter how much inveterate liar Julia Allison or her PR machine, gawker, would like to will it into being.

    @JeanBrodie: For serious. Does anyone even HAVE IT jobs anymore? That show is never fucking seeing the light of day.


    @MisterHippity: JA and the whole coven really got the smackdown in the comments on their blog today in response to their inane video on colonics. It's fairly awesome. JA tries to debunk that crazy idea that medical studies actually prove stuff. She fails.

    @Unfun: Honestly, their normal antics don't annoy me so much, but this whole focus on what they eat (mainly JA and MR) has really irked me--they vacillate between eating at some amazing NYC restaurants and then "detoxing" through juice "cleanses" as if that's a healthy way to approach food, with the occasional foray into colonics. Maybe I love cooking too much (or because I made/baked a kickass focaccia tonight), but it just strikes me as sad.


    But the person who called out the p.i.n.k. endorsement as not following this whole track? Priceless.

    They also lied in that "an ever-growing cadre of online fans" part.


    It's actually an cadre of haters — a "hater cadre," if you will.


    But "online" and "ever-growing" parts are true enough.

    @GirlyWhirl: @FaceMelter: OK. I thought it was because she somehow got it into her head that being photographed with her mouth hanging slack-jawed makes her look like she's having a wonderful, fascinating life and when she plasters these pics all over her blog, every guy who ran screaming from her will regret it.

    Wouldn't it be interesting if that plane goes down in a remote jungle and those three are forced to resort to their survival skills to find their way back to civilization, while fending off wild animals, removing hundreds of ravenous leeches from themselves, foraging for edibles through trial and error, and drinking their own urine?

    I have no doubt that Mary and Meghan will, without remorse, turn on and cannibalise the pulpy, cupcake-fed Julia almost immediately. Even before they feel peckish.
