Does anyone remember Julia Allison?

Yeah. I know. Google. Not that invested.

I miss rebloggingdonk-the site dedicated to snarking on her. But she got it shut down a few years ago.

It used to be funny.

Back when the influencer phenomenon was still new, it was the place to go to see the latest cringe happenings. That was when Young House Love still had a blog and dooce was still alive. Things have changed a lot.

She transferred to Georgetown and dated Rep. Harold Ford Jr. while she was a student. After college she moved to NYC where she began her fame whoring (for lack of a better word) and tried to date various tech founders. She did date Jakob Lodwick for a while and they had an ill fated couples blog where she disclosed his mental health issues.

After years of trying and not getting far in NYC she moved to CA and fell in with the Burning Man/woo crowd, briefly turned into a Republican Housewife while she dated Jack McCain, then returned back to CA with her woo friends. She fell off the radar for a while and resurfaced when she met this Harvard guy, and now she is resurfacing and rebranding herself as “the first influencer”

Same age and I still remember reading in my paper copy of the Washington post when pre-fame as a Georgetown student she tried to get out of paying for cantaloupe at maybe the 4 seasons by claiming she was a journalist. That’s when the Harold Ford relationship came out.

And I’d forgotten about Cindy McCain shutting that sht down with “the home we shared.”

Didn't Gawker's obsession with Julia Allison predate Gomi? Sad to say I miss all of it. A simpler time.

I am happy about this article! I debated against her in high school (she's from the Chicago suburbs and was a decent debater; despite her crazy online image, she's super intelligent, and she comes from a good, conservative family - her father is a successful lawyer in Chicago). I haven't followed her in years, but it seems she's been unlucky in love many times, and hopefully, now she's found a good match.

I don't mean this in a sarcastic way - the above is a very generous/kind take on Julia compared to the average. I am not disagreeing because I have no personal experience with her, so undoubtedly your perspective is better informed. I just think most people would say that she has actively ruined her love life (and arguably most of the rest of it), not been unlucky.

I'm the PP. I don't disagree with that assessment. She experienced the downfall of being one of the first influencers. The next generation now has a precedent and should do better. Still, I think Noah Feldman makes a lot of sense as a partner for her and it looks like her life now looks a lot more like I thought it would look when I crossed paths with her in high school.

She must have fired the PR back up because there is also a Rolling Stone piece out.

I read GOMI, Reblogging, Gawker, etc. back in the day. It was a terrible trainwreck.

I am glad to see she is doing well now. Interesting pair for sure.

He’s clearly intelligent and I don’t think would put up with her if she wasn’t on a similar intellectual playing field too.

It is so hard for me to imagine calling (or being called by) a person I had never met before, out of the blue, from a hot spring, to discuss the meaning of life.

I agree but spring 2020 was such a weird time.
