This is my contribution to add to Julia Allison’s fame for beeing famous. I did not know the name before reading this month’s Wired issue, where she is featured on the cover.
According to wired her path to infinite stardom for not singing, acting or beeing rich was threefold:
First, she got noticed by annoying the people at Gawker by repeatedly trying to self-promote. But it was not until she showed up dressed as a condom fairy at a publisher’s party that earned her a “vicious character assassination” (word to remember) on the blog. Second, she kept them hooked by treating it like a fire: “You have to add logs, or it’ll be like one of those YouTube videos that flame out.” And finally, she extended her brand beyond the New York city limits by showing up at parties in the valley.
Piece of cake.
