Stuff your stockings with these awesome gadgets for under ! You're sure to please the neat freak, the person who always loses their keys, and the person who is inevitably cold while sitting at their desk to name a few. Got another stocking stuffer that we missed? Let us know at TMIweekly.com!
wait, i'm not done: julia -- why do you always purse your lips in such a fake, happy way when you smile? it's like you're pretending to be your version of yourself.
wow, i just looked at the photos that julia posted from that party. a) you look like you're dressed in a crazy costume instead of real clothes. what's up with that? b) i would never take photos of my ex's brother at an event like this (he looked so awkward). c) i so don't get why you kind of so don't get it in general. (and i know this is where you will curse at me and then delete it, but so be it.)
I agree. Also, that pose she always does, with the one leg in front of the other, hand on hip, looks absolutely ridiculous. It's amazing she doesn't realize how foolish she looks doing that constantly.

I LOVE Harrison! Meghan gave great ideas. The rest of these comments are such crap. Please comment of the show and not on the ladies appearances as if though you don't have enough stuff to do in the real world to sit in front of your computer and tear NonSociety apart with your vicious criticism. That's all.
Seriously? All three of you say you are looking for constructive criticism. Fine, maybe the football shoulders was not nice. But don't try to tell me that your appearances aren't a huge part of what this site is based on. And you obviously care about your appearance yourselves and constantly talk about it and put it out there, but we aren't allowed to comment about it? Stop making it so much about YOU then, and start making it more about ideas.
Julia, yes, you wear too much makeup. Everything about you is too much. The hair, the nails, the makeup. You look like you're trying way too hard, there is nothing natural about you and it doesn't come off well on camera. You look like a news anchor, or like you're going to the prom. Hardly what you are going for, and compared to the other girls it just makes it look worse, because they are more natural and coming into their own more on camera.
I wanted you guys to succeed. It annoyed me that you got lampooned on Gawker and made a mockery of women who are actually trying to accomplish something. This is more pointed at Julia, but it can relate to the whole website. What is this about? What is "lifecasting?" It's a blog, that's it. If you want to make it, whatever that entails, you have to offer something more than sitting around in your pijamas talking about gadgets. It's not that informative. And you are not compelling enough as a person to carry the operation based on your personality and life.
That's my opinion. yes, I can "not watch." But is that what you even want to be telling anyone watching you? I'm generating traffic, I'm somewhat invested in the site or I wouldn't be writing this. Maybe it's not about me being jealous or hateful and more about me being a critical viewer with an informed opinion about what you are putting out there?
But no, that cannot be, only fawning praise or cosmetic (no pun intended) suggestions seem worthy of your attention.
Not sure where you got the idea that we were looking for criticism, constructive or otherwise. I don't remember saying that.
Actually, I'm really not interested in what you have to say, about anything.
Feel free to watch or not watch - your one view doesn't make much of a difference, either way.

It's totes different when YOU give unsolicited advice to someone else. Don't worry, no one will ever know.
It's not like it's universally accessible.

Julia, at the end of every episode, you specifically ask people to comment on the episode's topic. To try to direct those comments in a way that you see fit is a game that you will never win. You can't have an open commenting system and ask people to only leave feedback that you approve of or ask for. If you want an honest dialogue and exchange of ideas, you have to take the good with the bad.
Stooping to the level of the more vicious commenters with your foul language and belittlement is SO not classy. And you say they have no manners...

That's just another example of JA publicly sucking up to someone she would like to dream might one day hire her. She is seemingly unaware of how many bridges she's burned in the media and how her behavior here and on her blog and Twitter has only contributed to the reasons why she can't get hired anywhere established or respectable.
Mary and Meghan have much, much brighter futures than she does.

Seriously, don't you ask for comments on your ridiculous website? And that is a laugh that you don't care what readers/watchers have to say. You publish readers emails constantly. But surprise! Only the ones that kiss your ass.
Trust me, I only watch because you are a trainwreck and it's impossible to look away. The other gals, hopefully, will escape with their dignity intact. You will continue to embarrass yourself publicly for years to come. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

And that is funny that you think I'm the only one who thinks this about you. Trust me. Your anti-fans are legion.

You know, I have to say, I enjoy visiting NonSociety a lot, but the way the feedback is controlled is like nothing I've seen before at any other Web site. It's controlled rather than moderated. I've attempted to post comments on here that aren't half as negative as some of the other crap people say yet my comment doesn't get posted. It's really strange. Also, the girls really only encourage the haters by addressing their comments and trying to shut them down, but it really only seems to add fuel to the fire, and the haters are never going to stop. Maybe the negative comments should be ignored?
That's impossible! Ignore criticism? That would entail a healthy sense of self, something JA obviously lacks. Nice try though.

And yet this nice, kind woman, who would never say anything mean about anyone and certainly won't tolerate anyone here saying anything critical of her, has this to say about a date with a guy who generously took her to La Boheme and will probably see this:

Date tonight bored me to sleep. LITERALLY, I FELL ASLEEP. Nice guy, very sweet, but nothing to say to each other. Kiss on cheek, kthxbai. about 7 hours ago from web
Very, very classy.

I like the look of the Samsung Pebble but I did read it is kind of annoying because it doesn't have a screen. Are those Woodchuck speakers good quality for such a low price? I'm always wary of shows like this that promote goods because you never know if the hosts are endorsing the product because they genuinely think it's a good product or because they are getting paid to do it.
Anyway, I'd say these comments are free game. If you girls are able to talk about whatever you want on your blogs, then the readers should get a chance to say what they think - good, bad or indifferent. You don't see many people saying anything negative about Meghan on here and you rarely see her respond to any negative post. Just an observation.
So instead of using the same passive-aggressive lines over and over ("constructive criticism", "chill out", "why don't you go read another blog") just ignore it and move on. Or respond and bitch, but it's not really going to stop them.
A suggestion now that you have the new set ... the one who's hosting the show, should take center on the couch.
This is not a criticism (because I think she's great), but Meghan has done a complete 180 reversal from hiding behind the table, to being a literally singing, metaphorically dancing, in your face star! The interaction between you three is really great.
Great topic, like the way you hid the Samsung sponsership (there's no way a Mac girl didn't know the iPod Shuffle was under ... especially since Mary brought up the fact that someone gave her a 'mix-tape' on one in a previous show).
BTW, I don't know why Julia keeps getting dinged here, I think you look great. But as a member of the male audience, I have to admit that you set the bar for yourself really high ever since you floored us with the Wired article last summer.
No, there were no sponsorships here: any sponsorship we do is out in the open.
I don't know about the speakers, they looked tacky to me, but Meghan's in charge of her own segments, and we take her at her word!
posted 1 year ago by JuliaAllison
I stand corrected on the sponsorship thing. It just seems odd that an Apple proponent would choose a non-iTunes compatible product. It's not that the pebble sounds better or worse than the shuffle (in truth, I'm actually didn't know about it, think its very stylish, and appreciate Meghan bringing it to my attention), but my music is stored in iTunes, and I can't be bothered with non-Apple devices. But in the 'mix-tape' type scenario, where its not for me and I'm going through the effort for someone else, it's good advice.
I agree w/ you on the speakers (I wasn't the one who asked about them). They look like someone ripped them out of an old junker 70's Pinto.
Finally, I somewhat agree with what you say in that comment isn't necessarily the same as criticism. The three of you are self-motivated and lovely ladies. The point is, I appreciate your sharing these topics, even if I may not agree from time to time.
Thanks for responding to my comment.

I think Harrison and the WEPCTV guy need to get together for a show.
"If you want to make rude comments about our faces, our makeup, our hair, our bodies, our weight, our clothing, please think twice and redirect that energy elsewhere"
Well, that's all you ever talk about. You are all obsesed with your appearances.
Also, you still didn't say what you'll be doing to help others during this holiday season.
This was a great video to watch. I will admit that I do not like every single video posted...but the girls probably don't like each one either!
However, I firmly believe that if any of the catty women above or below me were to meet Julia, Meghan, or Mary they would have nothing to say and probably walk away either amazed at how great they are or ashamed of themselves and their bad behavior.
So, if they aren't your cup of tea--go read someone else's blog. Do not write comments about their obsession with their appearances or footballer shoulders.

Julia, cussing out commenters in the middle of the night and then deleting your comment the next morning is really unbecoming. People notice.
Awesome ideas! Thank you! My favorite stocking stuffer is the book "Wisdon" by Andrew Zuckerman.
Why do people watch this show if they hate anyone on it? Be nice or buzz off!
Mary and Meghan were awesome in this episode. I believe the rumor I recently heard that some cable channel is watching Mary and Meghan for a possible Tech and Style show. So natural, so articulate, and very funny.
I love the couch setup! It's so much more relaxed than the table set. And Harrison's bacon obsession is hilarious.
I LOVE Meghan's green cardigan, and I must have one immediately. But for the record, I think you're all adorable. My instinct is that you have a lot more silent fans than vocal haters. Keep up the good work!
"you have a lot more silent fans than vocal haters"
SO TRUE! I always love nonsociety -- that includes your sites, Twitters, and TMI. I just get so annoyed at the "vocal haters" that I usually choose not to participate in the ridiculous discussion they've created. Please know that those who comment on TMI are probably not a very accurate cross-section of your viewers!
And for all the mean Julia-haters out there -- let the girl be herself! Just because her style doesn't fit *your* self doesn't give you the right to be so vicious in your comments. (You've always been my favorite, Jules -- I hope you don't let these comments get you down)

Meghan always seems to get her clothing, make up and hair right (natural and youthful! less is more!) so this is for Julia and Mary: you are both young, pretty girls. I don't understand why you dress and wear makeup in a way that makes you look so much older than you are. You have middle age to wear the spackled on makeup and belted mom tops... why start now?
Well, I dressed Meghan for this episode, so thank you! hahaha

normally I would never say this, but this morning I have a migraine so my tolerance level is really low.
juliette: your comments (especially about Mary's shoulders) are absolutely inappropriate. Mary clearly has a beautiful body. She's naturally as tall and thin as many models (so many women would die for that body!). She wears what she likes and looks confident doing it. If she was 100 lbs overweight or had horrible acne, would you point that out? I doubt it. You only feel comfortable making these backhanded compliments because she's beautiful.
If your excuse is "they've put themselves in a public forum, so they should be expecting criticisms," I won't buy it. Constructive criticisms about the content of their programing, feedback and response about their ideas and assertions, maybe. Comments about "footballer's shoulders?" Absolutely ridiculous.
In a culture where every female lives under enormous pressure to look "perfect," why can't women support and celebrate one another?
Otherwise, I really enjoyed this segment. Love Harrison, love that MP3 player, love the quick pace you three maintained. You're definitely getting stronger with each passing segment.
Shanna, you were typing your comment as I was writing mine. You're absolutely right!
posted 1 year ago by Mary Rambin
Thank you Shanna. You're absolutely right. Juliette - and all other viewers - this is not a forum to discuss what physical characteristics you do and do not like about us. That's a waste of your time, and ours.
If you want to make rude comments about our faces, our makeup, our hair, our bodies, our weight, our clothing, please think twice and redirect that energy elsewhere.
It's just not constructive. It's strange that I'd have to remind grown women and men about manners, but here's a good rule of thumb: would you say that to someone you didn't know at a party?
No? Then don't say it here.
posted 1 year ago by JuliaAllison
Julia, I think you are confused about what "constructive criticism" means. I don't think most people on here are trying to be rude or mean - they are just making suggestions on ways to improve how you are portrayed on your show. Asking people who care enough to comment to "redirect that energy elsewhere" (i.e. spend time on other websites and not yours) is not a very smart business move.

"clown makeup" is not constructive criticism.
posted 1 year ago by JuliaAllison
Ladies, I admire your continued gusto and willingness to put your lives out there for random praise or judgement. Because it still never ceases to baffle me how rude folks can be online---and it's sad how people suddenly get very vocal and direct negative comments to folks that they would NEVER say to their faces just because these folks choose to hide behind anonymity and/or their computer screens.
Why do women in particular get off on putting other women down? Why does it always have to be about looks and appearances at the end of the day??
I think you three are all lovely and unique in your own special ways. I don't see "clown makeup" or "linebacker shoulders" when I watch these segments either. Sometimes the clothing worn can be slightly distracting, but what's up with all the physical nitpickings here when this is a show celebrating the modern female persona and feminine style??
Keep up the great work, girls.
And Julia, you rock that diva look! Wearing strong make-up is FUN and takes a strong personality to wear it well, which you do. I'm sorry some folks think you should just show up on camera wearing nothing more on your face than Carmex, but what's the fun in that?!
((this is from one "clown makeup" fan to another---yes, I've gotten that 'costructive criticism' before myself. Screw that shizz...I'll rock some hot red lips if I damned well please.))

Might want to switch to decaf there, Julieta. There's a difference between constructive criticism and being a bitch since you're not getting any.
Personally, I just think you three could refrain from waving goodbye at the end of each segment, but I love you all anyhow, haha.

I agree that Julia wears too much makeup and doesn't need it! Maybe she needs subtler colors? Better lighting? Maybe Meghan or Mary could do her makeup for her!
Honestly. I really like Mary. But she is killing me with the shoulder-baring shirts. She has very broad shoulders and she is constantly highlighting them. Perhaps stop working out so obsessively because it's making you look like a footballer.
But the more I watch these, the more I like Mary, and loathe Julia.
Really, do you actually care about my shoulders? If I had a wart on my face would you suggest I wear a mask?
I was a swimmer when I was younger and still growing so I have broad shoulders. I have to buy a size 8 in tops that have sleeves, but my body is actually a 4. Isn't that torture enough?
posted 1 year ago by Mary Rambin
At least you responded honestly, and I can respect that. You don't pull a Julia and pretend any criticism or comment reflects upon me as a person or is just "bad manners." And you are obviously comfortable enough about yourself that you don't get totally bitchy anytime anyone says anything negative about you, as does Julia. So I am sorry for the shoulders comment. Constructive criticism though about your wardrobe should be fair game if you consider yourself a fashion expert, in my opinion, and if that is the brand you are promoting here. And I do think you are lovely, but I just think you should experiment with different styles of outfits sometimes.
I think you are the most natural in front of the camera, and the more I've watched you, the more likable you have become.
