la_belle_laideSuperfun! Since Rose has responded to my allegations about her in a vague way, and her dithering, silly husband has outright said that I made this stuff up about her, I thought I should, you know QFT where applicable.
Let's see, what did I say in that last post? That Rose made a mockery of Native Americans by claiming to be descended from a Cherokee Princess. Hey, what's this? And yep, I posted about it on the NDN comm. Lots of laughs there.
That Rose said she thought it would be "romantic" to get tuberculosis. Why, look! And in case she deletes it, this was her response to the question "Top five diseases you would most like to contract (given that you could get better)":
2. Consumption {So Romantic!} The actual reply is right here.
That she always goes on about her hair color, first saying that it's natural and then later saying that she uses Clairol, which is tested on animals, and that I called her on it once? Sadly, she has deleted that stuff. You know, people saying things in her LJ that aren't along the lines of "OMG you are so FAE!!!!1111" never goes over well.
That she's greedy, grasping, vain, stupid and all the rest, well, those are just opinions. As some very smart person posted in GAFF, "Rose, Rose, this isn't sweet and it's synergy -- this is trying to get a free ride. Sorry. It's nice that you has people who are generous enough to give you money, but you are not entitled to a free honeymoon more than anyone else.
Aren't true princesses supposed to have...dignity?
I do wonder if she realizes that for every sugar-free double shot vanilla strawberry caramel fudge iced tea mocha frappuccino she cuts out of her budget, that at least four less people would have to give her money."
As for the real issue: Do the charity meme. Donate!
ETA: I want to thank all of you who responded, in email, comments, or fora, for your support and agreement. But more than that, thanks to all of you who have been inspired to donate to charity--or in many cases, to donate more than you usually would have. Rose started this whole thing with her ridiculousness and greed. I get mad about stuff like that, so I want to thank all of you for helping me turn it into something helpful to others. ^_^
ETA Tristan proposes a compromise. While I still don't hold with the idea of begging being any kind of dignified, anything that will get $2500 to charity is a good thing. Making a difference is a good thing. OTOH, it also makes one wonder: If they don't have the money to go to Ireland and have to go a-begging for it, then where is the money for charity going to come from? Or will it be like a slow trickle ... like over ten years or so? And in the meantime, they'll just light some candles and hope that other people's problems will go away?
Huh, and Rose is still deleting my comments, which actually had very little to do with her. Hmm.

Date: 2006-08-27 07:46 pm (UTC)To answer your question, I found out about Rose through the Godawful Websites forum at GAFF. That's what people do there, we mock things that are godawful. Yep, and many of us do make fun of other people who are greedy, stupid, vain, etc. In all the time I've been there, though, there have been only very few people who just simply keep on keeping on with their godawfulness. Rose fits that bill. Just when you think she can't get any lower, she raises herself to her full height and strides right under the belly of a snake. This latest "experiment" of hers just proves it.

However, I do see your viewpoint as well. That's all I'm gonna say.
I won't be checking your journal anymore, but I just needed clarification on this.
