"This is totally a shot in the dark, as I'm not sure it was your blog where I read about this:
Quite a while ago you wrote about a blog written by a self-important female, who wrote about her expensive travels and rich boyfriends. She apparently was from old money or something and had reddish hair. You mocked her self importance, which was hilarious.
I can't remember anything else about the blog in question, except that her boyfriend at the time you wrote about her blog made his money by playing poker (LR: I don't remember this, but then, I only ever skimmed).
She also had a photo collection of the evolution of her hair styles, which made her appear insanely self-absorbed. It's driving me crazy that I can't find this blog! I was telling my friend about it and wanted to show him, but I can't find it! If you know what I'm talking about, please email me the url when you get a chance. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then this will probably sound like the ramblings of a lunatic and I'm sorry!"
(Something tells me XXXX will have a lot of fun catching up.)
So you really pooped in a box and sent it to her?

1. EWWWW Blagg!
2. I would never want her to actually stop blogging. Unchangeable bottomless pits of narcissism are actually sincerely comforting in this scary, crazy world.

The sad part: I wasn't even 100% sure (pretty sure, but still room for doubt) who you were talking about. I think there may be more than one blogger who fits that general description.

I just read the blogger-in-question's New Year's resolution, which are delightful, but even better are her loyal readers responses.

It's too bad that the Goldstein's parody site ran out of gas.

Wow. I didn't think it was possible for someone to love herself that much.

we didn't so much run out of gas as so much as we realized we really never cared.
we do care, however, that the chargers just lost and this makes us very, very sad.

so what's the blog address?

It's sort of an inside joke type thing.
