Ultragrrrl on the cover of the Voice Voice

« the week in Dance w/ David Bruno (03/22/07) | The Decemberists played Jersey City + a new DVD & comp »

I know this is old news - I even read it the morning I was leaving for SXSW last week, but since I never got to posting it, and I'm obsessive-compulsive like that... I figure better late than never.....

Ultragrrrl

Be nice. More below....

While I've always been a fan of Ultragrrl, I have to say I never realized she was so attractive.

Inside of eighteen months her "tastemaking" will consist of selling her snatch at the Port Authority and she'll be up Shit Creek in a barbed-wire canoe. Like I'm not already from reading that empty-headed nincompoop's story.

[insert consolation music from "Entertainment Tonight"]

All the bands she has championed are god awful. But I'm glad she's so enthusiastic... Maybe the Voice should give me the cover for the next time I take a dump.

she's hated because she gets publicity for shit work. its that simple. she seems to be famous for liking some successful bands instead of making any money off of them.

this fattie has her days numbered.

Funny, we both had this story on our minds yesterday.

I like that you said "be nice." No use hating someone for being who they are I say, just don't read about it if you are annoyed.

always wondered who eats at TGIF, thanks for the news. she a wretched little thing isn't she?

leaving this comment is pointless cuz its not going to change the fact that there are so many shitheads out there but if any of you people making nasty comments about sarah actually met her you'd feel terrible. she is the nicest person in the world. who cares if she discovers bands that you dislike or hate. hating is lame. do something constructive with your lives. you have no idea who this person really is. she's great.

Ahh, the hater hating the haters. Kierkegaard would be proud.

Actually I have met Sarah on a number of occasions, halified, and frankly I cannot remember listening to such a twit go on and on about bands that are just god awful.
Furthermore she did not seem that nice. Hipster doofus is more like it.

i guess she could always do porn after all of her stolen transmission bands bomb.

you don't get along with her so you feel the need to badmouth her on the internet? what does that accomplish. its just negative and rude. if i dislike someone i don't waste my energy on them. i don't go and try to get everyone to agree with me. i just think you people should try and be a bit more tolerant. whether she's nice, not nice, smart, an idiot, whatever, there is absolutely no need to get on here and try and bring her down. you're all fucking jealous that this person who you dislike is way more successful than you. you people need to get lives of your own.

her snoobs are rather rotund.

ultragrrlll?, oh what a mess things seem to be in, it really quite worries me, anyone remember the days of lester bangs?

Posted by justin kelly | March 23, 2007 9:26 PM

I've never seen her in public or any pictures for that matter, but she looks amazing on that cover. Christ. And she looks good even with the retard bangs. I think I have a crush.

Who gives a fuck about what bands she likes. She's hot.

Posted by Matt | March 23, 2007 9:34 PM

hey BV, can you post a picture of her topless?

Posted by Anonymous | March 23, 2007 11:36 PM

when's BV gonna be on the cover of the Voice? i can loan you some speedos if you want.

Dear Halified: Every ponder for a second that there are people here who post who are MORE successful than UltraBoooobs? And if you're so against "badmouthing," then you wouldn't have badmouthed the badmouthers. Yes, there are people in this world who think her opinions are generally lousy, and it's our prerogative to say so.

Posted by eggshells | March 24, 2007 12:02 PM

I'd hit it.

I call body-double usage.
