Hi. I'm Julia.

I am, as I say in my bio, personally & professionally, a handful. Also? Rambunctious, indefatigable, sometimes simply obnoxious. But I mean well.
I pretty much like any conversation encompassing sociology, biology, psychology, philosophy, architecture, media, technology, feminism, personal growth and the absurd machinations between men & women otherwise known as "dating." Yeah. I said it. I'm into that shit.

Yes, I'm really nice. No, I'm not faking it.

Ah, yes, nothing like a good “browine.”
Despite the creative spelling, oooooooh I want one sooooo badly!!! But no. I will resist because I just tried a dress on and it was ALL bulge. Not hot.

In the most basic way I can say it, coming from a psychological place, what I love more than anything is attention. That is about as honest of a statement that I could possibly make. I want a reaction, because I want the attention.

Marc Jacobs in The New York Times

Doesn’t honesty sound so … odd?? I’m so unused to anyone just SAYING what they REALLY want that it floors me (and probably a lot of other people too).

Good for him.


Waitin’ for breakfast at a place called (dumbly, in my opinion) “Bagel Stix” … I *hate* leaving her tied up outside, but they’re mean about it. Stupid “no pet” rules.

In high school & college I used to fall asleep studying with all of the lights, my clothes & contacts on - CONSTANTLY. I haven't done that for years, but I did tonight. Why am I so sleepy!?!?! Ugh.


Lilly and I curled up together and just zonked out around … I know, this is shocking … TEN PM.


So tired

So tired
But releasing HD will bring YouTube one step closer to the legal decision that either cripples them or shuts them down entirely. It will only hasten the fury of the creators, both corporations and individuals, who hate seeing their hard work ripped off so that other corporations have a place to advertise. Both those groups have tremendous power: the corporations because they have billions of dollars, and the individuals because they’re creating the videos that are being watched in the first place and can easily post them elsewhere.
Jakob’s analysis of YouTube’s announcement that they’ll attempt HD in 3 months. The only piece of it I disagree with is the following: that Chad or Steve feel “deeply guilty” about their “truly evil policies.” No. I don’t think guilt has ever occurred to them.

Everytime I get sad or upset ...


I want to eat a sugar-based food item.


“I actually want all of them” - Eric
We’re at Bed, Bath and Beyond buying the 8 billion seemingly random but yet somehow “necessary” things my apartment needs.  Like, for example, a cutting board.  And, also, a towel rack.  And, in addition, an iron.
PS. If one has a pink fetish, one should really not shop during or directly after the month of October.  Breast cancer awareness now extends to pans and spatulas and mixing bowls and shit.  I bought everything, and the closest I’ve come to cooking in the last two years is refilling the Brita.

Working on an article about golddiggers - anyone have any thoughts?! Email me! Julia [at] JuliaAllison.com


For everyone:

1) Do you even believe that there are really “golddiggers”?

For the fellas:

1) Have you ever dated a golddigger?
2) How do you avoid golddiggers? Any techniques/strategies?
3) What question(s) do you ask to spot a golddigger?
4) What do women say that let you know they’re golddiggers (obvious or subtle)?
5) Do you have any tests to “out” golddiggers? If yes, what?

For the ladies:

1) Have you ever been accused of being a golddigger just because you happen to date rich men? Do you think that’s ridiculous?
2) Or … are you a golddigger and proud of it?
3) Is it sexist to say that women are golddiggers and men aren’t?
4) If you’re a wealthy woman – do you think men ever use you for your money? Can men be golddiggers?



Now this is the way to clean up.
