[GIRL FRIEND]: So he says, "I just want to have sex with you one more time. That's my big goal for the week. Then I can move on."
Julia: Whoa ... dude, THINK it. Don't SAY it.
Julia: "Denial and dishonesty should be front and center in relationships and breakups. Dating advice!"
There is (almost) no high as relief-filled as...

Julia: “I’m a writer, remember? Don’t forget the point of all this whoring! It’s getting my writing out there. Getting my writing out there. Getting my writing out there. Getting my writing out there.”
Tuesday morning ruminations
juliaallison:
There should be a “It’s not complicated! I’m REALLY SINGLE” status option on Facebook.
Julia: “ALOOOOOOOF!!!! NOT DEEEEEEEEEEESPERATE!!!!!! JADED PHAAAAAAASE!!!!!!!!”

Do other people do this? I call it AFA (Anything For an Anecdote)

Mary just called me from a party, laughing hysterically. Apparently, this is the conversation she just had (BEST. AWKWARD. PARTY. CONVO. EVER.) -
Girl at Party: What do you do?
Mary: I'm a blogger. I work for myself.
Girl at Party: Just don't be Julia Allison about it.
Mary [starts laughing]: Actually, she's my business partner.
Girl at Party: Oh no, you're not a part of NonSociety, are you?
Mary [laughs harder]: I'm one of the founders.
Girl at Party [turns to host, totally serious]: Who are you FRIENDS with??
Girl at Party: [drunken laughter] my best friend is James, he did NomSociety.
Mary: We love that video.
Girl at Party: Well, yeah, I love Gawker, oh shit, I'm sorry.
Mary: Have fun at your day job. Excuse me, I have to make a phone call.
I added a few more details. This chick was hysterical. She tried so hard to be nice, but she was too drunk to be strategic. It's the best party conversation I've had in a long time! Rach, your birthday was the best!!
Julia: "This was an awkward conversation."

I’m sorry, I literally - LITERALLY - haven’t had a single moment between meetings all day, so … no lifecasting on this rainy/sunshine Monday.
Have to get back on the phone with the web designer now.
I hope you’re enjoying the OLYMPICS. Apparently they’re happening RIGHT NOW in Beijing. Can you believe it?!
Good thing I have a mom who keeps me informed!! :)

From: [redacted] Date: August 12, 2008 2:06:29 AM EDT To: “Julia Allison” <julia@juliaallison.com> Graduated with honors from Smith; fired from Urban Outfitters on day two for not being good enough at folding sweaters and looking hip.
After I sent her back an email that said, basically, “you’re awesome, can I blog this?” she replied with this: “go for it—i will print them...

It seemed fitting to post this particular video on a lazy Sunday.
I could go for a cupcake right now.
Julia: “Everyone else is always making a huge production out of my love of cupcakes.”
Julia: "I am deeply unique."
Charles [on the phone]: I've always felt that the second I didn't keep you on your toes, didn't provide a challenge, you would just get bored and move on. I don't think I'm wrong.
Julia: Isn't everyone like that?
Charles: No. Everyone is not like that.
"Thanks! You're like a Lauren Conrad minus all the...

A reader asked me how I got started in fashion, designing my own collection, blogging, etc.
It’s an epic tale, so I sent her to my bio. After delving into my journey, she responded with the quote above.
I know she sent it as a compliment, but I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around it….
Mary: “‘Three and half years before starting NonSociety, after graduating...

I’ve always loved this song - and yeah, it’s cheesy, but so empowering.
Nothing like doing a lip dub on the subway about loving your body while wearing a giant lemon dress.
Shot at the Soho Apple store and on the N/R train.
Julia: “I have stage presence. Also the word ‘empowering’ is somehow a counterpoint to the word ‘cheesy’.”
