    That is one misshapen figure.
    The hard stuff really will twist you beyond recognition.

    Unless she's posting video of every bump of coke, swallowing of a pill and smoking of a dust-laced joint, then I wouldn't buy it.

    She's no different than, say, a columnist who is contrarian for contrarian's sake because that's what made him famous. She got a job because she uses drugs. So she'll be the biggest druggie the world has seen in a moronic attempt at fame and fortune.

    Now that's not to say she's not an addict. And it damn sure isn't implying she's not a fucking idiot. She's likely the former and absolutely the latter.

    Nice to see a former Newhouse employee get hired.

    i dunno, inks. the more i think about this person and the column in which she writes, the more interested i become.
    i think it's easy to write her off, but i do believe the drug culture has become so huge, that there's a call to give it a voice. does it work out? probably not. but i don't mind watching her fail ... just one guy's POV.

    As a 29-year-old, she's an adorable trainwreck. As a 34-year-old, she'll be aging roadkill.

    She'd better snort up her 15 minutes while she can.

    If nothing else, her lifestyle would make it easier to be a parent.

    Wow, lots of sneering-down-your-nose comments from an area of journalism that has never had any drug addicted writers in its midst, right? If only alcohol wasn't a drug.

    Cat Marnell has talent, like it or not, and an audience.

    Nostalgia is fucking boring

    Too bad she's wasting that talent.

    Addiction sucks. It's sure as hell not something to celebrate.
