There are some quite pointed, poignant and otherwise fair critiques of her blog out in blog land, including one entitled Profiles in Douchebaggette’ery and still others questioning her originality as well as her overall smarminess. These critiques some how escaped mention in Ms. Rosenbloom’s column since apparently all Stephanie has are “fans.”Greek Tragedy has been critiqued widely by many bloggers on the internet for being nothing more than an utterly vapid and self indulgent rip off of Sex and the City and character Carrie Bradshaw, created by Candace Bushnell. One blogger satirized her blog in a piece entitled Soap Bloggera. There is also now even a smart parody of her site, see A Tale of Two Sisters. In essence, many have found Stephanie as shallow as a kiddie pool. One writer has even given a most accurate assessment as to Why Stephanie is Still Single: [...] [...] When I read it, despite my off hand knowledge of the numerous pieces written out there critiquing the blog, Stephanie Rosenbloom, the writer for the NY Times, presumably does either (a) not use google search as part of her research or (b) is one of a gaggle of Stephanie Klein’s female writer friends in her network or (c) her piece was the result of yet another Girl Crush.

Anyway, it is probably unfair to treat her her like someone who had to go to eBay for romance. In person, she is bright and funny… a bit offbeat, and MUCH better looking than any picture on her blog, and always wears big clunky shoes… a habit she will soon probably forego once she knows that wearing those things in the tropics will give her a raging case of toe nail fungus.

I got caught up in the moment! I saw the article in the NY Times... went to her site and found a kinda good lookin' chick, successful, decent writer... yet totally unable to deal with her personal life. People like that interest me. I want to know why people like her... given talent and looks... always seem so unhappy and so unfulfilled. It's like I want to find out what is broken. So... I admit I spent waaay too much time reading her blog just to get the insight I needed... when done, it just seemed reasonable to put pen to my thoughts... Two hundred emails later... I find my analysis of the Stephster was about right on. Thanks for the comment. Funny you should ask that Robo… I got caught up in the moment! I

It’s like I want to find out what is broken.

So… I admit I spent waaay too much time reading her blog just to get the
insight I needed… when done, it just seemed reasonable to put pen to
my thoughts…

Two hundred emails later… I find my analysis of the Stephster was
about right on.

Thanks for the comment.

I guess he really does need as much of a life as he claims everyone else should get....especially since he seems to have plenty of time to run around to other people's blogs to defend her. What a pathetic dick. Hmmm….”Illuminated” sounds suspiciously like Stephanie Klein’s current boyfriend, Phil.
