Okay, so I have a story about Mary. I honestly can’t remember when my Julia loathing started up. I think maybe it was episode one of TMI. I was on team Mary for a while. That changed when I met her. I’m going to obscure details here.

My friend, a blogger, had emailed with Mary a few times. We are involved with a charity and as we planned for an event, my friend sent an e-mail to Mary (and other bloggers). Mary linked to our event. Great. My friend then invited Mary to a pre-event party for donors. The party was at a designer showroom.

Mary showed up, and I watched as my blogger friend greeted her, got her a drink and introduced her around. This is a pretty small group, mostly of friends. I went over and told Mary that I read her blog. She was nice enough. Here is where it gets weird. There were a wide variety of body types present. I am very thin. Some would say too thin; it is just the way I am built. When approached (in a welcoming way!) by anyone over say 130 pounds, it was like a cloud crossed Mary’s face. She literally took a step back from a couple women who were larger and less into fashion. She looked almost offended that they were talking to her. And those women were working their asses off to organize this event.

I too saw what someone above mentioned. Mary turns off and on like a robot. Animated/zombie. I should mention that NO ONE at this party had a clue who she was except me and the blogger friend who invited her. (This factors in later).

Also, good holy lord jesus did that girl have on some makeup. I’ve worked in tv. This was beyond on-camera makeup, and there were no cameras.

I cannot stress enough how repulsed Mary is by normal-sized people.

Anyway, the next day, I read her blog to see if she wrote anything about the event, and I got spooked. She wrote about the event almost as if she had had some hand in it. And she wrote something like, “thanks to all my readers for coming out and making the event a success.”

None of her readers came. None. She knows that because it was a TINY event. I happen to read her blog and am involved with the organization. My blogger friend invited Mary. Mary did not thank my friend (I checked). Please note Mary’s recent tirade on thank-yous. Instead Mary basically congratulated herself for making the event a success.

It made me really wonder about their “coverage” of lots of other events.

Someone there asked me who she was at some point. I explained and they said “ohhhhh, I thought she was like a Russian girl from somewhere way out in Brooklyn.”

Sorry Russian Girl! Just quoting! But I understood the reference. Mary had on a weird, cheap, sparkly top, and just SOOOOOO much foundation. She looked like she followed a very different aesthetic… not so much fashion or media New Yorker.

There is one thing about Mary that does resemble a star though: the vacant, weird stare. Her default expression is something I have only seen before from very famous people. It is a look of holding one’s self separate from others, of being detached from reality; of utter entitlement. And that look has always made sense to me in a moviestar’s eyes, because what a weird, disorienting life they lead. But in Mary? WTF?

I know this is long and probably riddled with errors. I know.

The New York Times Sunday Newspaper on May 25 had a great two page article on Jill Bolte Taylor and her book, "MY STROKE OF INSIGHT". Her book is a must read and this NY Times article - called "A Superhighway to bliss" is worth checking out too.
