Dear Mr. Mande,
I would like to personally and publicly thank you for featuring my promotional video on your widely successful Tumblr “Look At This Fucking Hipster”.
FTW !!!
Boy, it feels almost as good as being featured on Boner Party !
I just want to tell you it feels really good to know I’ve been classified officially as a hipster by someone who is definitely not a hipster, collecting hipster photos for a blog (totally NOT HIP, BTW).
Anyway, with my traffic skyrocketing & the overwhelming support I have received from the droves of incredibly intelligent internet perusers with terribly keen senses of humor that follow your Tumblr, I cannot extend my gratitude enough.
So once again, thank you.
I hope you had a really nice weekend.
Cordially with Love,
Mariss
PS. Let me know if you ever are in LA, maybe we can grab a drink and talk about blogging and Animal Collective (if you’ve heard of them) and what it’s like to be the Carlos Mencia of Hipsters, doggin’ on your own kind while your Tumblarity shoots through the roof.
I just wish latfh had posed the vid earlier, it sounds like a fun show!
Was it a success?
haha, well, not for me really. i think for my friends that threw it, the night went well but i don’t really enjoy filming at events.
thanks for coming by!
That was going really well – classy, sarcastically self-aware – until the last half of the PS. The path to FAIL is paved with angry.
Have a sense of humor. You’re going to need it in the movie/TV/direct-to-DVD biz.
Blackbetta,
thank you for the tip. I mean, considering you took the time to leave the incredibly nice and un-angry YouTube comment you did (“We’re looking at you, you f*ing hipster, but we don’t want to be a part of your life or your stupid art show. Put some pants on already.”), I am pleasantly surprised you took the time to visit my site and leave me this helpful information.
Have a great day.
Love,
Marissa
Well, that was classy, and I say that with no sarcasm. If you could weather me when I’m cranky plus the worse posts below, you can tolerate LA’s emotionally frigid climate.
But I stand by what I said on YouTube. Seriously, keep your pants on. Clothes make the lady because no one listens to one who’s already half-naked.
Dearest Blackbetta,
Thank you for the kind words. I’ve been in situations that call for a thick skin my entire life & it is just a part of the gig. I’m not disagreeing with you on the pants- it’s definitely important to keep them on, especially in this town. But the promo’s premise was to get people to be comfortable with me filming & well, you saw what happened…
Shit.
Shit happens.
& then sometimes someone decides to put it on a Tumblr & then everyone tells you to die.
Shrugs.
Have a wonderful evening.
Sincerely,
Marissa
Dude, ppl telling you to die is completely uncalled for. Clearly, Carlos Mencia should be the target here.
Ugh. I need to get off the internet.
yep, tumblr did it. don’t fret. you seem sincere in your endeavors, so good luck 2 yew.
thank you, i appreciate you taking the time to visit my site !
awesome.
somehow someone went to my site from here, but i was pleasantly entertained.
awesome.
Thanks ! Hope the traffic continues (for both us ha).
Like blackbetta said, have a sense of humor. Joe helped you to get more internet traffic than your video would have generated on its own- you should be THANKING him (sincerely). As for calling him the Carlos Mencia of hipsters… well there’s just so many things wrong with this statement that I don’t have the energy to address it. Not this early in the morning. And having a Tumblr account does not a hipster make, neither does collecting photos of hipsters to MAKE FUN OF THEM. There’s a reason his Tumblarity is through the roof… Joe’s funny and has fans. He can’t help the negative comments left by his followers. You really could have used this exposure to your advantage, but instead you come across as too self concerned to laugh at yourself and honestly, sort of like a bitch.
And don’t use the word “doggin’”. Ever.
Thanks for the tip !
Hey could you clarify that Carlos Mencia comment? Specifically, what the fuck are you talking about?
You’re pretty much the most terrible thing ever.
is this brian hamilton? if so, i need you to reverse some overdraft fees for me (given you’re still at my bank). thanks!
You’re really not funny, at all. I was expecting some kind of snappy comeback, but instead you make a lame inside joke about your bank that presumably ONLY YOU would get. Wtf? Seriously. For someone that self promotes so heavily you should learn how to entertain a broader audience than just yourself.
Also, trying to make a funny joke by calling out Carlos Mencia??? WTF? dude you are soooo bad at this…
I hope you cry yourself to sleep tonight realizing that people all around the world think you’re annoying and unfunny.
Sincerely,
Banana Hamilton
ps sorry to hear about the overdraft fees. Maybe if you spent more time actually working your minimum wage job you’d be able to afford shit.
Dear Banana,
Thank you for taking the time to exert this much energy into my blog. I appreciate your notes. I have nothing snappy to say to you because I don’t know you and I don’t go around being rude to people I don’t know on the internet. You just said I was the most terrible thing ever, which doesn’t really give me a lot to work with now does it?
If you think I am annoying and unfunny, I urge you to visit other blogs instead of mine. I am sure there is one out there that will entertain you. Good luck.
Affectionately,
Marissa
You’re too much fun to pick on. Why would I want to go anywhere else?
And you dont know much about me because I told look like idiot jumping and dancing in front everyone at every chance.
I’ll stop going to this blog once it’s ended (like it should be).
-Banana
Although I have taken your other comments into careful consideration & have pondered about them for hours on end through the multitudes of crying fits & sad emoticons, I have to firmly disagree with the following statement:
“And you dont know much about me because I don’t look like idiot jumping and dancing in front everyone at every chance. ”
At every chance ?
Bro, I did it once.
Once almost six months ago.
I have thirty videos.
I’m not saying they are the best videos by any means but there is only one of me jumping and dancing so do some work before you start making claims on my somewhat good name.
Affectionately,
Marissa
Actually, I’m going to give you props for your candidness and humility. And because you corrected my typo without trolling on it.
Perhaps I was wrong about you. You handle yourself well under pressure, and I’m being seriously here. You do better in this light than the over the top party girl type. I like you a lot better now. You should use this angle, it works for you. I’m being seriously, you’ve shifted my opinion of you.
B. Hamilton
Mister Hamilton,
As a (sort of) lady of the internet, I try not to judge anyone on typos because it happens to even the most careful of commenters & zealous bloggers . Unless it’s a misuse of “your” or “wierd” because those are inexcusable.
I am also happy to hear your opinion has been relatively swayed. Only a small portion of my videos (& none of my blogs if memory serves me correctly) have anything to do with partying. Those gigs were out of exposure & not out of enjoyment necessarily. It is unfortunate that that had to be the one side of me highlighted virally but thus is the nature of the beast & of the machine I have created for myself.
Thank you for the kind words. Have a good evening.
Until next comment,
Marissa
Hey, I’m still waiting for a response. Please explain your Carlos Mencia comparison. I know you are reading this.
Carlos Mencia is a “Mexican” (well, just kinda, but let’s just do what the movies tell us and suspend our disbelief) who makes a lot of jokes about Mexicans. Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope your Tuesday is filled with tacos or something equally delicious.
Affectionately,
Marissa
Marissa…Carlos Mencia sucks because he’s from Nicaragua or some shit and he masquerades as a Mexican. Plus his real name is like Mark Stanford. He’s a fraud. You’re welcome.
Trevor… Carlos Mencia sucks because he steals other people’s material (which is what I originally thought Marissa was implying with this insult). He was born in Honduras, but raised in LA. And his real name is Ned. Not trying to be a prick, but if you are, you should at least take 10 seconds to read the first line of his wikipedia page.
… really wish I hadn’t subscribed to email alerts from this comments section. Also, I wanted to add that Carlos Mencia should probably kill himself.
Whatever, broad. You got the point. No need to split hairs you fucking perfectionist.
ps) Fuck wikipedia.
Hahaha… dude, first of all, I love that you called me “broad”. Secondly, you’re totally right, I was definitely splitting hairs. I just thought his real situation (growing up in LA, being named Ned) was like ten times funnier than that incorrect shit. Also, did you seriously reply to my comment and nothing else on this page? Whatever, that’s actually pretty hysterical. Good for you. You and your ps win.
Almost as hysterical as you consulting wikipedia in order to one-up an anonymous internet poster. We could have left at it “he’s from a vague central american nation and has an English-sounding name, yet pretends to be mexican”, but you went the extra mile and made sure teacher gave you an “A” for your brilliant research. Still, the win goes to Banana. His shit is outstanding.
Whoa, whoa, dude… relax. I wasn’t being sarcastic when I said you were hysterical. As for Carlos Mencia, I already knew those things about him, no research required. He’s kind of a living joke? And it’s those specifics of his background (growing up in LA, actually being named Ned) that make his comedy routine about his “Mexican heritage” that much funnier/shittier. The details are pretty key.
Anyway, you’re right. Banana definitely wins.
I’m glad we’re seeing eye-to-eye here. I’m still trying to figure out who the victim in all of this is though: Marissa (tragic hipster who brought all this on herself through shameless self-promotion) or the poor patrons of latfh.com who were subjected to the video. On a side note: If you think Marissa is a smug and self-obsessed “asshole/douche”, then you should see the dude who’s event she was promoting. I’ll make sure to submit his photos to hotchickswithdouchebags.com as well as lookatthisfuckinghipster.com.
“Seriously. For someone that self promotes so heavily you should learn how to entertain a broader audience than just yourself.”
Wonderfully said sir. I’ve been going over this blog for about 20 minutes now and…what the fuck? there’s NOTHING on here that’s cool/funny/informative/entertaining.
It’s all self-obsessed nonsense about some lame hipster bitch. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR SHITTY LIFE IN LA BITCH.
Dear Disgruntled,
I imagine you are a highly respected member of some community that I would care about if you had left any of your information. I’m surprised you had twenty minutes to waste on little old me. It’s unfortunate you don’t enjoy my blog but luckily for you there are millions for you to choose from. I wish you the best and hope you find something better to put your energy into than going out of your way to be rude to people you don’t know on the internet.
Sincerely,
Marissa
Hey Marissa,
Way to be classy. So classy, you’ve inspired me to add you to my Google Reader, rather than just checking in when some salacious looking blog title shows up on Facebook/Twitter.
xoxo,
Silvia
Dear Silvia,
Thank you very much! Your support is warmly welcomed and a beacon of sunshine in this shit storm of stupidity over one damn promotional video.
Love,
Marissa
As someone that read your tangents before the sudden traffic spike I think you’re funny so keep writing random shit. As for B.H. and DisG… wtf? One is stretching really badly and the other needs to close his mouth.
Sincerely,
DCR
Thank you for your positive feedback !
Who the fuck are these people!!! I suppose I am a little late on seeing all the LAME drama, but it seems you handled it quite well (no surprise). I thought junior high was over??
It is really retarded that these fools take the time to HATE SO HARD on someone they know NOTHING about!
More importantly, I love EVERYTHING you write. You have always had amazing talent as a writer and a great sense of humor. You should feel great in the fact that your blogs bring so much entertainment to the people that think you’re AWESOME (a.k.a. ME). So keep doin what you do girl! and remember what my good friend T.I. says “nevermind what haters say, ignore em til they fade away…”
love your blog Marrissa! and you are also a very pretty lady.
love,
the robot.
