Remember an avid troll commenter called Monique, who returned again and again to let me know what a stupid and pathetic untalented jealous loser I am? Remember when she passed on a message from her friend Gretchen that “my cunt is full of sand?”
Well, now it is my privilege to introduce the camera shy Monique R, pictured above sharing a toast with her friends Sea, Platinum-Hair Girl and a young man named Fred who favors wacky hats.
When she isn’t flaming bloggers who make fun of Sea, Monique likes to take photos and hang out at bars to watch guys dancing in their underwear. She protects her tweets, perhaps because she knows that people could come along and join a malicious hatemail campaign against her, AT ANY MOMENT!
Look how happy Monique is, dining with her idol, rubbing elbows with the social gentry, perhaps comparing funny hats with that guy Fred. What made Monique go all rabid and ballistic when I teased Sea? Why was Monique so relentless and below the belt?
People are so fucking weird. They are truly unfathomable. I am learning this every day. Some of them need to be kept safely at a distance. Some will come at you only when they smell blood. The new Gentler Sister Wolf does not advocate any nasty comments designed to upset Monique. Instead, maybe we can help her explore her fanatical fealty to Sea, or her delusion that she “knows” me from looking back through the archives here.
I know you are an aspirational type, Monique. Screeching online about a strangers vag is not the way to social success, unless Dallas is much weirder than I imagined.
But I forgive you. You’re just out of your element.
Yawn….
I never searched for this blog. It was pointed out to me when you wrote the post making fun of my friends and their jewelry.The only reason I dedicated a blog post to you is because you dedicated one to me. So we’re fucking even.
You’ve been harassing and insulting this girl on your blog for over a year. You obsessively read her posts, you track her and her mother’s ebay purchases, you mock their styling posts (hey imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right), you keep tally of how much money they spend on shoes and clothes…oh yeah, that’s just harmless entertainment, right? That’s called cyber-stalking. Here’s an idea: if you don’t like hers and other fashion blogs of their lifestyle, then try yoga. It’s really healing, which is exactly what you need. You’ve got some serious issues, SW.
Stop playing the victim. I can’t believe that your loyal pissant followers can’t see through your bullshit on here. You’ve been and still are guilty of the very things you accuse Dolly Python and I of doing, so get off your high horse.
Oh, yeah: “furthermore, the fact that you missed the genuine love, compassion and community CURATED by Joanne and her commenters is atrocious. You have no sense of human communication”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That’s rich. That’s real fucking rich.
Goodbye cunts,
-Monique My Last Name Is Still Posted In The Second Paragraph.
P.S. “Dolly” says that she imagine you in a “Wild At Heart” moment, reapplying your lipstick over and over with sweat, tears, and black hair dye running down your face. And a very blown out vagina clumped up with gorilla glue and cat litter.
Sister Wolf, I’ve only read you for a few weeks, but I think you are fucking hilarious and wonderful and a super cool lady with a good heart, regardless of what these kids think your cervix may be stuffed with.
i’m so bored with these fuckers and their insults.
let’s move on, fellow “loyal pissant followers”.
Hmmm no response on my query as to why Sea never fights her own battles. Interesting.
Because she pays us to do it for her, obviously.
If we do a really good job, she invites us over for dinner from time to time.
Monique, Didn’t you just say goodbye? It’s hard for you to leave, isn’t it? What about that ‘life’ you were going on about? Do you really have one?
“a vagina clumped up with gorilla glue and cat litter”? WTF is gorilla glue? And Monique, why do you keep coming back here to post? You must really care. If you stay off line then this world doesn’t even exist.
Sister Wolf ignore them – rabble are always so vicious. Maybe I’m wrong but I always put these comments down to a lack of decent education and healthcare in the US of A. In the UK this level of response is deemed to be educationally bereft. It suggests a lack of discourse/argument skills are available on subject matters on anything of a thematic quality. These guys just get personal. They fail to look at the issues objectively. I’m setting some exam questions for Monique.
A) that brooch was dreadful, in this exam boards opinion – lets discuss the brooch and the subjective like or dislikes of the brooch, please feel to disagree. Does it have artistic merit? Does it look good visually with clothes? Please explain how you reached your conclusions.
B) Sea of Shoes shut off her comments and only puts up a post – do you agree with this as a proper use of blogging? Discuss. Try to think about this in the context of the original premise of the world wide web and the format of blogging which is a by product of internet publishing and development.
C) Blogger A (a fashion commentator) makes fun of Blogger B ( a daily look fashionista), both publish publicly and both have established a community of followers. These communities sit outside of the definition of community and nation as prescribed by the Untied Nations established after the end of the Second World War. Equally the internet sits outside the known traditionally established printed press world and is not subject therefore to traditional publishing restraints. What would a newspaper editor advice in such a situation, how would the editor categorise either parties and which page would he feature A or B?
D) Define a metaphor and a simile. Discuss how both can be used to good effect in a blog post and their relevance.
Kate – please stop ruining what is a wonderful name. Please tell me you are not a Katherine, I couldn’t bear it. I actually thing fuck off is too polite. You stoop very very low. SW had never been anything but honest even when she vents her spleen she prefixes it with how she feels. She has laid bare her pain and anguish, she spares nothing – her honesty is unbelievable but her insight is a genius talent, truly a gift.
Sister Wolf – did you not laugh at my first comment. I so hoped it amused you and made you smile. I would feel very happy indeed if you had momentary mirth. I aim to please as I’m obviously just a sycophantic follower and worshipper at the alter of Goddamit I’m Mad
THE FUCK…..
Thank god Karla and Rumi don’t give a shit. Can you imagine if we had Karla and Rumi follower loonies on here too?
This has turned into such a mess shit storm. I love the “I have a FUCKING LIFE!!!!” claim and the “Why are you so obsessed with ME?!!!!!” angle when she can’t just seem to move on to her fucking fabulous life and GET OVER IT. If we are so sad and miserable and you are so above all this then leave. What does it matter what one small corner of this enormous blogosphere says about Sea?
Never, did I EVER see SW’s posts as “going to far”, or see anything she has done as “cyber stalking” … Sea is a public figure. She puts herself out there. Her pictures, her purchases, her family life, her love life. She twitters, she blogs, she’s been in magazines… And she and her family, and band of loonies take themselves way. too. seriously.
Monique, you said it yourself… you checked out this blog because you heard that it was “making fun of my friends and their jewelry.” And what did you find? JUST THAT.
What you and your pack of vultures did in return was inhumane. You kicked SW when she was down, and right where it hurts. You went for blood. You went for the jugular. How does making fun of someone’s ugly necklace or questioning how much they paid for a pair of shoes justify what was said to SW here? How is paying attention to Mom and Sea’s ebay purchases on the same level as the horrible and vicious comments that SW was bombarded with? I would like to redirect you here: ://www.godammit.com/tag/sea-of-shoes/
Go ahead and scroll back and read what was actually said about Sea… Maybe you didn’t read it?
Monique, have you been following the Jessi Slaughter story? That would be a good example of cyber stalking/ cyber bullying. Nobody’s publishing Sea’s home phone number or home address to the internet and sending pizza and hookers to her front door. We’ve been making fun of Sea’s home decor and spending habits. Also– if you examine this blog you will see that Sea is not the only blogger discussed here.
Your comments on this post are disturbing at best. Seems you are the one who is truly obsessed, no?
If loving SW and this blog makes me a “sycophantic boring old loser”, then so be it.
I am damn proud to be one.
Monique is a tool. In the pic above she is just a prop. Her comments to SW are disturbing and sick.
Doesn’t matter who does it, but this all boils down to….HATERS GONNA HATE.
Gretchen wants to know if you want Uncle Jerry to unclog your vagina with his pencil dick.
And, hey, guess what, I’ve learned some very interesting things about you today, Joanne. Like how you’ve been institutionalized, and how the Aldridges’ have had you investigated…you’re sick. Get help.
Poor M is clueless & Sea likely could care less … M stands alone. : /
My comments are being moderated again…how convenient.
I STAND ALONE! Fuck yeah I do! I’m not here to prove anything to you people. I’m just here to call Joanne out for her bullshit! My saying she is miserable has nothing to do with her son, but the fact that this woman has been institutionalized and also investigated because of her stalking activities! She is a hypocrite and so full of shit. She needs help. Maybe if you all were here friends you would see that and help her.
Monique, didn’t your mother teach you to not talk about c**t juices and so on? And to respect your elders (since you insist on referring to Sister Wolf as the elderly)? A lady ought to speak better than that.
I haven’t read Sister Wolf’s blog very long but I can tell you that not one of her posts concerning the famed and fabled Jane of “Sea of Shoes” has been abusive, stalker-ish, or mean-spirited. Granted, it wasn’t terribly nice to say that Jane has a “fat/round/moon face”, but you know what, she sort of does! It doesn’t make her a bad-looking girl, just a cute girl with a moon face. I’m sure that I wouldn’t want anyone to say such a thing about me, but then again, I don’t have a fashion blog where I am essentially commanding people to Look. At. Me.
Irrespective of all of this, I don’t think it should have been taken seriously given the context in which that remark was made. And it certainly wasn’t coming from a place of cruelty.
I’m pretty sure that contrary to popular belief, Sister Wolf does not go about her day with visions of Jane Aldridge’s fat moon face dancing in her head and with the urge to burn a Sea of Shoes effigy. Sea of shoes is just the medium SW chooses to paint with sometimes or something. It’s not personal.
Jane’s blog is well-known and she has received all sorts of positive feedback for it. But she has to take the good with the bad, and as far as this blog goes, the bad hasn’t been all that damned bad. Truly.
It is humor and entertaining literature. But if you choose to not see it as such, that’s fine.
But it still does not cross the ethical lines that you, Ms. Python, others and Jane herself have crossed.
By reacting so crudely and violently toward some pretty TAME remarks made by Sister Wolf you have all shown your true colors. And those colors are ugly (much like the colors in Jane’s ugly rainbow fur jacket).
You come across as a scary bunch of people. You come across as the ones without a sense of humor (yet you keep leveliing this charge at people who read this blog for pleasure). You come across as the ones without lives.
P.S. I like your photo blog for the most part. You’re not a bad photographer! The other blog (the “one-post” one) that you just started fucking sucks, though.
P.P.S. God, it’s FUN adding post post post scripts.
P.P.P.S Why is Jane’s waist so small in that post she did with the octopus necklace the other day? Freaky.
I just want to be your friend and help you, Joanne. I just want to help you to erase the “cunt” title from your life.
Srenna- I tried to leave you a reply but I keep getting blocked. I only started the one post blog because Joanne blogged about me. Check my photoblog tomorrow to see me and Dolly’s community and the kind of people we really are.
Also, Joanne’s harassment of the Aldridges’ (yes, the entire family) goes way beyond her posts on this blog although you’d be hard pressed to get her to admit that.
This is the money shot:

Oh my!
1. I read G’s comment, which certainly constitutes a threat if I ever heard one. NO, I would not like to be raped by an elderly man with AIDS. Thanks anyway.
2. Institutionalized? Hahahaha! Oy vey. After I ran way from home at 14, I went to a state run correctional center for wayward teenage girls! An experience that is part of my well-known personal resume!
3. The Aldridge family had me investigated?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Hahahahahahaha! Where’s my copy??
Beyond pathetic, Monique. Really, just lame-ass, unoriginal, contrived shit.
As I stated in my initial comment, defending a friend is one thing, but there really is a way to do so creatively and while maintaining one’s dignity. Try it sometime.
Ann – We are through with Monique. She has succeeded in humiliating herself and the Aldridge family. What other business could she have here?
This reminds me of when I was 16 and the target of comment board hate/bashing…all because I liked going to see local bands play and danced a lot. Apparently dancing is not okay at indie shows. I talked as much shit and defended myself and my friends then just as I am doing now. I’m glad you guys are concerned about the state of my dignity. Let me check…hmm seems to be in tact. Carry on.
Oh, are we done here? Well I’ve had a fantastic time, everyone. And I’ve certainly been taught a lesson *rolls eyes.*
“GORILLA” glue???
I’ve done my best to try to read this mess in an objective way, and I only have this to say:
Being institutionalized doesn’t say anything about a person and is not an insult nor a valid argument when trying to “call out” someone for their “bullshit”. Obsessively refering to somebody’s sexual organs in an argument talks on completely different levels than vague and extremely naive “insults” like “institutionalized”.
Monique,
I thought you said goodbye AGES ago?
Your photos are ‘A’ Level worthy, if that…
Love Esme x
i am soooo afraid of monique.
Denise – She is scary. Don’t read her comments, just cover your eyes, xo
Nutcases – I’m starting to love you people. I’m going to edit /delete your comments but I love you nonetheless. I love how you pretend you’ve met me, or that you know something special about my past. I love that you have no other creative enterprise but trolling. I love your rich fantasy lives. I love your iffy punctuation. I love your free-floating rage and insanity. I wish I could pat each one of you on your buzzing little head! Good night, cuckoos!
Good grief Monique is in need of help. Her rabid comments are revolting but the frequency and the returns suggest some sort of mania or manic issue. I’m sure Jane’s mum must feel concerned about such so called ‘friends’ and I’m equally sure as Jane gets older and wiser she will too. I doubt Jane is like any of these outpourings and she must feel embarrassed as we do about poor Monique. Please edit or delete their comments it the right thing to do – after all newspapers/magazines are equally committed to protecting thier readership from bizarre outpourings.
outside of all the arguing it really makes me sad to see an entire generation of female fashion bloggers, photographers, ‘artists,’ jewelry makers, whatever, who are all so obsessed with using vaginal anatomy & misfortune as insults. that is so misogynist and typical, to try for shock expression with the time-honored “women’s bodies are disgusting” while being so stupid that they don’t realize that furthering hatred towards women can be done in the fashionable safety of their own homes!
anyone who is a public figure should consider her words more carefully. i’m sure monique would not use racial insults and disgusting comparisons to insult people–so why use anti-woman ones? very ignorant.
“gorilla glue” is a powerful general-purpose adhesive sold in the US, for all wondering. it most definitely does not belong in a vagina.
…unless it would stop the trolls spawning mini trolls
for that i might recommend Mr. Runcible’s Guaranteed All-Natural Anti-Troll Mucilage and Vaginal Soothing Lubricant, now available in a 48oz. bottle?
I’m confused as to how you found out that the boy who “who favors wacky hats” is Fred, considering his name was not mentioned or printed on the blog. Seems like it would be impossible to find this information without the aid of a little cyber-stalking.
Visiting a web sight with the title, “Godammit I’m Mad” then complaining about the anger is the same as going to the grocery store and complaining that they sell food.
Wow, some people just don’t do themselves any favours do they?
To be honest, i’m starting to wonder if Monique is for real – surely no-one would could say so much shit sincerely? I’m half expecting SW to reveal that Monique is in fact a fantastic work of satire…
Claudia, couldn’t agree more with your post, and thanks for the gorilla glue information. By the way, I have a good laugh each time a troll reveals a “shocking” fact (???) about SW: she used BOTOX! she has BAD hair! OMG, she’s been INSTITUTIONALIZED!!! She’s been INVESTIGATED!!!!! What do you expect, that we all SW “sycophants” will be horrified and run away shrieking in fear?
SW, I would pat them on their little buzzing heads with something heavy…
Sista, sista, your time, your writing, your uncanny humor, your dead-on eye for irony should not be wasted replying to piles-of-cow-droppings. Please ignore them, it, whoever, and continue with your commentary on what ever the fuck you want to write about.
I’m pretty disgusted by the level of BS and hate coming from “them, it, whoever.” They have nothing of value to add here.
xoxo
I think the differences in writing skills apparent in the comments fields of this blog is quite funny and telling. SW (and some of her supporters) can construct considered, articulate, concise and well-written sentences that convey ideas and arguments clearly. Monique and her counterparts can only rely on garbled, long-winded hysterical rants that are thematically all over the place, or else they just rely on the type of crude insults teenage boys would come up with to impress each other. It’s like watching an argument where one person is speaking reasonably in a low and measured tone, and the other person is screaming and crying and reaching for objects to throw.
BOORRRIIINNNGG!
C’mon! This is fun and you know it!
Girl, I been gone for a while. Why’s everyone talkin’ ’bout me?
Mo,nique, my lady of the apostrophe! You’ve been missed, welcome back! (also, we’re talking because of the troll who has a handle somewhat similar to yours)
Oops, I can’t spell now. Meant to type- Mo’Nique, welcome back! (again, since I screwed up the first time)
SW, I love ya, but this post really wasn’t necessary. That’s just my opinion…this is YOUR blog and I did come here to read it. Honestly, though, it’s getting a bit stressful dealing with your ongoing war with all these children. I’m on your side, if for no other reason that the best defense they can come up with is referring to your “cunt juice” in a derogatory way, but really, this time you brought it on yourself. Stop feeding these little trolls. Ignorance really is bliss sometimes.
Kapaali- I can see how you might think that, but I never saw this post as part of a “war” so much as it was about showing up a troll. And if it’s stressful for us, the readers, to be merely reading about this, I imagine it’s a million times worse for Sister, who got the brunt of it and had to live through the entirety of it.
You saw it up there- the idiot in the photograph apparently came here because someone was “making fun of” her friend’s jewellery. I fail to see how poking fun at a cockroach in resin is supposed to consitute justification for bringing a completely out-of-proportion shitstorm down on yourself (and in what world someone flies off the handle because they believe ther work is too precious and perfect to be criticised in any way).
Dru, I thank you for summing up this Event, which started off as a playful response to a troll, and ended up as a study in psychosis. Claudia, I’ll take a dozen bottles if you have them in stock.
