Awhile ago- I have no idea when, and I'm too lazy to double-check- I entered in Smart Pop's comment raffle to win a copy of the essay book on the Anita Blake series. A feather could have knocked me down when I got the email saying I had WON

How did Hamilton introduce the Saintcrow essay?

[naeko]

She talked about herself, natch.

Unless I'm getting the intros mixed up in my head (I am at work and didn't think to bring the book with me), she goes on a rant about how women constantly try to belittle other women, but that she's better than that because she's such a man. She tells a story about how a friend of hers tried to convince her to hate another friend of hers because the second friend was tall, blond, blue-eyed and sexy.

Then she goes to say that the first friend stabbed Hamilton in the back by insisting that a business dinner they attended together was casual business wear, but it turned out to be formal attire. Hamilton claims she learned a lesson right there, standing in her business attire, about how girls suck and like to treat each other like shit. She states that the backstabbing friend MUST have fucked Hamilton over because she thought Hamilton would be prettier in formalwear than she was and wanted to make sure it didn't happen.

It's pretty ridiculous.

Mostly not, unless you show up for something formal in the same clothes that you cleaned the outhouse with. I wouldn't have stressed that much as long as I was dressed neatly and my hair wasn't a mess, but none of that applies to casual business wear.

I'm a little surprised she'd care about that after all her proud talk about things like answering the phones at one of her previous jobs with a slutty voice.

I do understand, though, being pissed at a friend who seems to have deliberately misled you in a negative way. I don't think I would jump to the "you must be jealous!" thought, but I would be irritated.

Though for all we know LKH did something to antagonize her first-- they seem like they should have gotten along, what with the whole hatred for sexy blonde women.

I also thought LKH only wore microminis and blazers and heels to parties anyway. Oh wait am I confusing her with her characters? EAILY DONE.

[magdalen77]

Wow, she sounds like a middle school girl. "Everyone is mean to me because I'm sooooo awesum and they're jellus."

[lady_fellshot]

Ridiculous doesn't even begin to cover it. Rampant paranoia might... All this over feeling embarrassed? o_O

[dwg]

Oh god, now I am really looking forward to this book, because after that podcast where LKH talked about how there was a jealous bitch at her workplace in LA that tried to backstab her for her job, what are the odds that there'd be someone else SO JEALOUS of her station in life? *pines for the fjords*

[flirtswithfan]

According to lkh the jealous bitch in LA stabbed her and actually got her job. The two stories are too similar for total reality, more like lkh reality where every pretty woman is Out To Get Her.

Interesting-so she's inferring that Saintcrow is stabbing her in the back, being a hated female?
