i was going to say we should show her this thread, but it doesn't really matter -- google her name and this thread is the first result

 

[oh shit]

and the sample text is 'that was enlightening. if my parents called me india whisker i'd shoot them.'

 

[the strange guy]

All she needs to do to change that search result is to go out and get some work.

 

[oh shit]

typical irish begrudgery

 

[oh shit]

we can tell our kids we were the first to slag her off

 

[taubstumm]

oh mighty thumped, smiter of the pompous! scourge of the self-important!

 

[David Kronenbourg]

that'll teach her to try and make a career for herself. she's gonna go nuts!!

goddamit, some yankee opinion on this

hayworth? jane?

Everyone thinks I'm so unique because I have a unique name! Everyone worships me! I don't need any talent, I'm unique! And did you catch my casual mention of Bono, like I totally discount my familial connections, which couldn't possibly have anything to do with my success!?

The piece sounds like it came out of about a two-minute phone call, although she sounds a lot like what happens to people when they move to LA, and a lot like what happens to people when they are totally overwhelmed by their own smug self-satisfaction and ignore the roles of luck and string-pulling in where they are. If it's any consolation, google her name. First hit is to do with her parents, and features an unflattering picture of her, where she looks a little less self-satisfied and more like a dorky chick who might be a little embarrassed. Second hit is this thread. Trib piece isn't until page 2.

Lack of capitalisation is something to do with the site build, or is otherwise web-related and should be caught by the online editor (or someone could tell them?), something to do with cutting and pasting text. But it was probably just put in to fill part of a page, and they haven't caught the editing issue because no one's checked the page.

It's cool, she isn't takin' over or probably even fooling herself into thinking she is. Doesn't sound like the sort of person I'd want to hang around with, but she probably got a phone call, orchestrated by a PR friend of the family, had a short conversation having just downed a bunch of cocktails or Dyson-ed up some blue flake, and didn't think about what she was saying.

She does suggest by default that it's easy for just any Irish person to move to LA to be an actor. You have to have a green card, a job, an American parent, or connections.

It's gonna be okay, dudes.

EDIT: Looks like I wasn't the first one using The Google.

Who do you think is gonna be first to sue the internet: India or the people behind Shebeen Chic? Are they the same thing? Is one the architectural/commercial manifestation of the human and vice versa?

Why do I feel like this is just the tip of the hipster invasion we're gonna get from marketers and PR cunts over the coming months? Wait til the broadsheets hear about American Apparel or some poor prick tries to bring ZipCars to Dublin.

Actually, that fucking "Everyone shoud just ring Bono when they need favour" comment, and the fucking "My parents throw money at classes and headshots"...I take back most of my previously somewhat-measured response (apart from someone probably needing to fill a page and it being a five-minute phone call). But confusing being spoiled with having earned something....why was I being restrained?

I was blinded by my Shebeen Chic hate, which is taking up most of my time at the moment.

The dream is over.

George's St has another angel.

I'm hurtling through the Irish Zeitgeist as we speak.

Someone fucking castigate me already.

I'm regretting, writing this.

[Denny Oubidoux]

are you sure she isnt a new piss-take character like your man who goes "roysh"?

 

[jane]

Ah, here:

http://www.tribune.ie/magazine/article/2008/aug/03/my-secret-life/

She screwed up the 'intellectual' portion of the interview, though:

"My favourite building... is Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (right). It's technically not a building, because it's actually a cathedral."

Comedy gold from a Nuala.

"My favourite building... is Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (right). It's technically not a building, because it's actually a cathedral."

Ah now, in fairness, cathedrals have so much spiritual energy that they bypass most known laws of
physics and enter a realm of pure love that plain old bricks and mortar buildings cannot compete with.

But it wasn't our India that said that!
