Ahahahaha! *wipes tears* Ahahahaha! *snort*

God I hate Marieke Hardy. She just irritates me. Not least because all of her "achievements" are the result of nepotism. I also despise the way she dresses and her extremely high level of narcissism (and the fact that she admits to such doesn't make it any better).

However, this morning I had the extreme pleasure of listening to her being taken down a peg. It was fantastic. Apparently, while JJJ were recording in Adelaide last week, she walked past Dotti in Rundle Mall and saw a mannequin dressed similarly to the "So Very Vintage" looks here, except with pigtails or something and a pile of books. Of course, because she loves herself so much, she immediately thought that someone had seen her somewhere and thought she was such a fantastic dresser that they decided to copy her look.

She called up the store this morning and was told by the sales girl that all the stores were sent the same brief for dressing the mannequins, including the pigtails. It was absolutely hilarious to hear the young girl say she'd never heard of Marieke. Even more hilarious were Marieke's claims that she was a B-grade celebrity. I'd say G grade at best.

Then she called up the head office. The woman who answered told her the mannequins' styles were largely based on overseas celebrities and trends. It was fantastic to hear Marieke almost pleading to the woman to tell her the mannequin was based on her. The woman, however, remained steadfast that it must just be a coincidence that Marieke thought the dummy looked like her. And then the woman said, "you'll have to send me a photo of yourself" because she clearly didn't know who she was either! There was a slight pause in which I'm sure Marieke wanted to say, "Oh, you can just google me, I'm a celebrity you know" or something equally retarded. Sadly, she didn't.

And then there is the fact that she is now auctioning herself off on Ebay, a la Scarlett Johansson. Again, I find it insanely amusing that she even thought someone would bid on her, and even more horrified that people actually have. I'm hoping the winning bidder just wants to win so they cut off her horrid pigtails and put orthodontics on her to fix that manky overbite.

****
Update! I've just noticed that Marieke was so convinced the mannequin was based on her that she took a photo of it, and it makes up part of the gallery on her Ebay auction! Ahahahahahahahaha! That is just too much!!
