Hi kids!
Another week, another group of questions for you that I’ll answer. If there are any pressing issues on your mind – from questions about content creator, business management, specific stores or people, personal advice questions, or frankly anything that ends in a ? – I’ll do my best to answer them for you. Don’t forget – I’ll answer EVERYTHING that’s a question.
Here’s how you can write to me – email dear.lauren.neutron@googlemail.com, drop me a notecard inworld (use an alt if you want to be really anonymous or send me a private plurk on www.plurk.com/laurenneutron
So let’s get to it. The first one – I’m not gonna lie – bored me within the first few words. I’m posting it because I’ll post everything, but if you’re digging for drama with this particular person you won’t find it here because she does that best by herself.
Dear Lauren,
I want to know more about Gorgeous Yongho. I know she owns a blog etc, but what else can you tell me about her? She seems to have her own clique who love to fangirl her, and comes across as sweet and cute on her blog, but others say she is cold, fake and bitchy. What’s the truth? Who is the REAL Gogo? Spill!
<3 Me
Hi you,
Show me an uppity fashionista with an ego and I’ll show you a clique of insipid tools eager to please her. No one that smiley and sweet is Mary fucking Sunshine all the time, so yeah, I’d guess she might have a heart of coal and claws like a tiger. So who is she? She owns a blog, runs a fashion feed, she makes shapes that have a little ass (and I like that a lot) but she also sells shoes, and owns a community of popular shopping sims. That’s a lot for one person – I would assume she’s often logged in due to all of that. However, spreading yourself thin won’t always gain you success. Ultimately, she’s not and will never be as famous as some of the folks on this blog, no matter how she tries, and she’s certainly not very interesting. I hope this answered your question.
Dear Lauren,
I really want to go to the LeLutka Ultra shows – how would I go about getting in?
Why do you want to go? It’ll be a trainwreck of lag and ego, and good luck verifying the source of the creations on show – I wouldn’t touch them after seeing them caught redhanded passing others work off as their own.
However, if all your little heart desires is a front row seat, here’s what you do.
1. Tell their store manager that her hair is pretty, she’ll love you forever for massaging the ego she purchased outright (I hear she got a cheap deal after trading in her soul) and voila, you’ll probably be walking in the show. You’ll probably get sent freebies too, she’s good like that.
2. Be a really, really, really good blogger with low to no moral standing, who is friends with someone connected to LeLutka.
3. Give up hope, go shop at a store worth your time, and live a happier and more productive life as a result?
Dear Lauren,
I have a close guy friend that I’ve been semi-dating for a few months. He had said before in the past, before we actually became close friends, that he’d never be in a relationship with anyone in SL again. I honestly didn’t think I wanted to either! But something changed over the past couple of weeks and now I really think if I could be with anyone, it would be him. He’s kind and smart and amazing at his business in SL, but I have my own business as well, so it’s not like I’d be latching on to him for the fame or for what he could give me. I don’t want to ruin our friendship by telling him that I think I might want more, but I don’t want to miss an opportunity that could be wonderful either. Do I tell him I have a crush, or do I just let things ride?
Sincerely,
*name removed*
Hello,
Things change, people change, and as long as you are around those you care about, what does it matter? You say you’ve been semi-dating him for a while – so he’s aware that you like him, and he likes you? Just go with the flow, if it naturally feels like a point where you can say “Look, we’re kind of great, let’s make it official” then say it.
His reasons for not being in a relationship again might be great ones, but the need to label things is overrated. The time you spend together is so much more important than whether or not your friends know he’s “that guy you’re always with” or “your sl soulmate partner forevereververevevrevreerrrrrr”.
Good luck with it, and congratulations on finding a good guy.
Okay kids, that’s all for me this week!
Have a great holiday season. This time next week it will all be over. I cannot even tell you how much that pleases me.
Lauren
xoxo
What’s your Damage, Lauren? Why you gotta be hatin’ on my girl? LOL. Okay I’m going to be very honest here I like Gogo. I liked her from the first time I met her over a year ago and started chatting her up. I didn’t know her blog or her fame – all I knew is that she owned a sim and I wanted to rent there. And me being the person that I am I just kept on talking and she kept on listening. But Lauren you must not know Gogo for one she is not an eternal Mary Sunshine – I mean for god’s sake do you read her blog or plurks? She can be very sarcastic and bitchy, LOL. And eager to please friends? I’ve had my I’m f’ing pissed at you Gogo moment last summer and even said it on my blog. And guess what? She’s still my friend.
But what I hate more than anything are these weak bitches who brown nose her but then turn around and tear her down behind her back – they send in bullshit “hidden in innuendo emails or pretend to not know who she is to get the shit going”. Who really has the issue when it comes to that..Gogo or the weak ass bitches who act like this is 9th grade.
Okay hugs to you Lauren whoever you are.
Or is the joke on me and this Gogo question and answer is simply to generate hits and is really nothing personal. Wow could it really just be business and not personal? I think it could be!
As you will see below in the comments, the person who submitted the question commented also. I just answer what I’m given.
No one needs to agree with me, after all!
Dear Lauren,
I found your blog as it is the hottopic on the plurk feed right now for the gogo question answer session. I want to know this. Why does she get so defensive when a person mentions her name? It’s almost like she is ready to murder all those that dare to utter her name with any negative intentions. Quick to call the person insane, stalker, jealous, cunts, fuckers, bitch, stupid. Why does she swing her blog sword like thor’s might hammer when she feels she is being discussed? I think that when you put yourself out there on a blog and you feel that everyone is beneath you. Then you try to cover that up by saying you are trying to be real and not fake. Yet you are just being a shallow uppity bitch with a fashion sense and a pretty avatar. I will say this, I think she is compensating for something else. What do you think?
<3 Needtoknow
Gogo, Juicy, Whatever she wants to be called can’t take anyone saying anything negative about her. She then hides behind her group of friends that cuddle her and tell her that everything is ok and she is awesome. People think she is a mean spitful bitch. That’s sad for someone that is in the public limelight on sl. Even real life celebrities know that they can’t just go around being a jerk to everyone. That’s called bad pr.
(Removes the kid’s gloves) Gogo you are a bitch. Fix it.
<3 best comment evah
I noticed something really important. That if she says anything about someone she is being honest and telling the truth. If someone does the same to her they are mean, stalkers and all that that need said up top. Also why why why would you advertise this on your blog why don’t you deal with someone directly. Oh ya i’m sure when you do that you bitch out. Your friends aren’t there to say you are awesome so that’s an issue. You should just name your blog “JuicyDrama with some fashion”.
You know what? I like Gogo – and I think she’s got a bad reputation that is really over exaggerated.
I think it’s funny that now gogo is the victim. Now everyone is saying poof gogo. Do we not remember when she blasted someone for not liking her on her blog, Oh wait I forgot she removed it after 1 hour. She never said sorry she just said she will be fake like other people, but ok let’s do this poor gogo thing for a second. She is a very good person. She is a woman that complains about everyone not in her circle of friends. She is a person that if you aren’t in her circle of friends she has no time for you cause she is so busy. Gogo behind her computer is just a girl, and she is a girl that uses second life to make herself feel like she is better than others. I’m sorry but i’m not kissing her ass cause I have no reason to. I dislike gogo cause she is an ugly person deep down.
Let’s also not forget how she claims men are women when she has no first hand knowledge ruining people’s reputations, she recently called someone on her blog a twat because that person mentioned in a group that she didn’t like GoGo, she’s too good to blog about a charity to help suicide prevention because they are too “emo”, and ridiculed last winter’s campaign to help stop bullying campaign….She is a self centered, self serving person.
Same here. I admit I don’t know her, only ever seen her talk via Plurk really, but all my dealings with her have been pleasant. From what I have seen she looks like she deals with things in a very straightforward manner, which might come off as bitchy in a world where people are used to talking behind backs and making horrible anonymous comments.
“Ultimately, she’s not and will never be as famous as some of the folks on this blog,”
“Famous”? Oh in a role play way right? The actual “famous” people I know in SL maintain a very low profile for the most part. Some don’t. Like Drew. But most do.
There are no “Slebrities”. Think hard about this and you may agree that some mostly geeky (unspecified gender) in a bathrobe hacking away in photoshop to make a sexy outfit or two is not “famous” lmao.
Ever watch the Video Game Awards? Despite the game’s success those geeks that have issues with an acceptance speech are never going to be “famous”. Their video games are. But not them.
Callie ought to be famous (in the marketing and PR community). She is even smart enough to run a credit card clearing house for SL rofl. MEGABRAINS! But, sadly, she is still just a video game character.
Sucks but all your men and horses won’t put you back together again if LL gets mad at you and knocks your ass off the wall by banning you. So it is better to keep in mind that SL is a pile of bullshit and is incapable of ever becoming serious business because insane literal poster children in a god damned book for the mentally ill can and do ban anyone that competes with their quest to be the top attention whore in Second Life.
Do you personally know Gogo or are you simply one of the people who love to hate her? ‘Lauren Neutron’ or whoever you are Why exactly should readers write in and take advice from someone as bitter as you How are you so accomplished that your opinion should matter? Everyone can play the bitch when their real identity is not on the line, I suggest you grow a pair.
I don’t know her personally, no, though have read her blog and plurk timeline for a while.
gogo is one of those people that believes that no one can dislike her and if they are they simple want to be her. It’s never they just don’t like you cause you are a spitful little bitch. It’s always they love to dislike you. gogo I think you are wonderful but you are a rude uncaring person. I wish everyone would just boycott your site which honestly. You wouldn’t mind cause all your friends in your bubble will be there. Why do people hide behind fake names when talking to her. Cause if they don’t she will blast them with her friends on her blog. Isn’t that right gogo. You are a truthful bitch right?
How can you talk about someone you didnt know ? Gogo is one of the nicest women I met in-world ! I talk from time to time with her and it is always fun. She is never cold or “claws like a tiger”. That is so stupid. She is a hard working woman who runs, in my opinion, the best blog about second life. Try to do the same! Do you really think blogging is that easy?
Get a real life “Lauren Neutron” or dont u have nothing better to do than talking about people you dont know ?!
who the hell is Gorgeous Yongho?
And Lelutka steals? oo tell us more!
I love Gogo.
In the almost 3 years I’ve been logging into SL, I’ve come across a LOT of backstabbing, lying, insincere, thieving bitches who are in some form or manner involved in SL fashion.
Gogo is one name on an extremely short list of people in SL whom I trust implicitly, and the only reason her name is on there is because she’s EARNED my trust over the years.
I don’t tolerate fake “friends”. I don’t know how to be nice back to someone who has a saccharine smile plastered on their face when I know that behind the facade is a mean-spirited cow. I would NOT be friends with her if she behaved like this in the slightest degree.
The fact is, Gogo’s always been up front, honest, and she doesn’t do two-faced niceness. Sure, she also doesn’t sugarcoat her opinions but I’ll take her brand of honesty over the rampant, sly cattiness I see in SL, anyday.
Sure, people can call me one of her “fangirls”; I won’t care if they just don’t get it. Gogo is my FRIEND. We’ve had our disagreements, differences of opinions, viewpoints, etc… but in the end, she’s ultimately won me over because I can see for myself that she deserves my respect, something I’m quite miserly about handing out.
Lauren I would first off like to give you a cheer for having the balls to say what is on your mind and keeping it up. I have followed gogo’s blog for a while now and I think it’s extremely creative. She also puts together the cutest outfits which I respect. I have also seen the ugly side of gogo. She isn’t perfect true but that Isn’t an excuse to treat others like gum on your shoe. I would like to offer another opinion if you are friends with gogo and own a store which she enjoys. Make sure she isn’t simply your friend to get the “samples”. Do I think gogo is fake? Do you even have to ask, of course I do. Do I respect her work? Yes I do. Would I enjoy going to dinner with her? Hell no! Like the person up top said. Gogo you are a bitch. FIX IT!
Does gogo have a cult or something. Cause zombie levels seem to be high in her group of friends. They are ready to fight battles for her blindly. Don’t drink the kool-aid!
Since when have i been accused of being a zombie LOL.
Guess this website (particularly the Dear Lauren Pieces) is goin downhill… had to throw a Gogo bash in there to bring in more traffic.
so are you saying that gogo is so awesome that the mention of her name will get traffic. That’s kind of well shallow and superficial. You must be a member of the cult, or perhaps the founder. Gogo is the key of life when it comes to sl if you say her name your traffic will double cause she is so famous.
Alright kids, let’s try to keep it halfway civil here, hm?
Quote : Ultimately, she’s not and will never be as famous as some of the folks on this blog…
Methinks someone believes their hype a wee bit too much!
I would like to say thanks to Lauren for answering my question, which was the first letter.
I would also like to point out I asked this question simply because I have read Gogos blog for quite some while now, because alot of the pictures and things she shows can be very pretty.
The question itself was an honest one – through reading her blog I have seen her being quite rude about people and then showing no remorse when people confront her about it, and automatically about 20 people spring up to attack whoever had the cheek to confront their friend! Its the fact she is like this about people, not caring at all about their feelings, but then comes across all sugary and sweet.
I think most people with a high profile blog will know their readers are going to be curious about them (I am in no way being a stalker – I have a very happy sl and rl!) I just wanted to see if you could shed some light on the subject and to see anothers pov.
Another thing I would like to point out is that this is the first time I have ever submitted something to SCD,Im not associated it, or somebodys alt. It was a genuine question
Thank you
I didn’t know whether to take the question as a bitchy attempt to create drama, or a genuine question. I hope I answered both sides.
Funny how LeLutka is so passé. Nobody cares anymore about that … thing (sorry, don’t find an adequate word to discribe LeLutka anymore). I guess it’s time to start digging in other brands for dirt, cuz dirt is the last exciting thing in SL. Please, dear Lauren, (and this is my official question for next week) is there anything negative to tell about Maitreya or Coco?
So I watched basically everything as it unfolded today, and it was the same story as things always go when someone says something about Gogo. I never even knew about this blog until she posted her Plurk. That is something that she does often and I got an idea why. She does enjoy the attention and the sympathy she gets from when this happens. She enjoys the power of all of her friends and people who want to be her friend saying “We love Gogo, and you better leave her alone”.
Same thing went for the girl she called out on her blog. I never even knew about this conversation until she made a blog about it. Now we are at a point where we see if she decides to speak out about everyone’s opinion on her or how people feel she treats them. I will say this don’t expect her to address this anymore. She is in full ignore mode and instead of addressing the issue. This is a good idea for a poll Gogo. “How many of you really like me or secretly hate me. please be honest”. Today is like a Christmas movie staring gogo as “The Grinch”
Let’s see if her heart can increase and then she return all the presents to Yooville.
OH – I didn’t realize that the format of this column was going to be say ugly things in lieu of an answer.
Pithy.
It’ll certainly get resonses.
Just for the record:I was out of town, two states away in a SNOWSTORM and missed the drama-rama, just stopped by SCD to see what was new. I’m not BFF’s with Gogo and I could give a fig if you like her or not.
I just think there’s a difference in being witty and just saying mean things.
I dunno if this warrants high drama, but it’s certainly mean spirited. So it oughta be good for some down the road, I’ll bet on that.
Lauren you still haven’t answered me. Are you related to Jimmy Neutron?
If I am, I want in on an inheritance.
I’m not going to justify Gogo and her actions – I’m just saying I think everyone over-exaggerates her reputation.
Would you rather a world of liars and sneaky people or would you rather honesty?
Gogo isn’t a bad person, she’s just honest with her opinions, which is commendable, not enough people are comfortable in themselves to be honest with opinions.
I feel I should add that I’m not a zombie clone part of Gogo’s army.
I also think people need to suck it up and learn that people are going to be nasty – welcome to the world. It’s be awesome if everyone could get along, but lets face it – that’s not going to happen.
I don’t see the article as a personal attack against Gogo, I think Lauren gave her honest opinion on Gogo, which is better than lying.
It doesn’t matter what people say about you, because the truth is the only thing that matters. If you can’t live with who you are, and peoples opinion of you matters more than your own of yourself, then there are problems at hand that are nothin’ to do with SL or this column.
Sorry…kinda rambled there.
what happened dear lauren this week?
