"The Official Intelligence-Pulchritude Fairness Equation usually works like this: you either get beauty, or you get brains. You don't get both," reads the intro to Julia Allison's interview with author Robin Hazelwood, whose Model Student: A Tale of Co-Eds and Cover Girls detailed her experience as a Yale student and fashion model. Yes, yes. Like rain on your wedding day. Anyway, Hazelwood was less than thrilled with the way the interview came out, and even less thrilled with the professionalism Julia displayed while conducting it.

She was twenty five minutes late. Fine. When she arrived, she spent ten minutes telling me some story about an argument with her boyfriend—evidently they had almost broken up or something because she wasn't quite ready for marriage and she wanted some advice—complete with frequent pauses after the mention of his first name that made it clear I was supposed to know who he was... (You are not the subject of this interview, Julia...). Finally came the interview, during which, as sometime happens, Julia kept asking me to help her find the angle (guess she didn't really need my help!)

Julia remembers things differently, it turns out! But not that differently.

I don't really remember being 25 minutes late, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that I was at least 10 minutes late. Sounds like something I would do. But Jesus, this interview was in ... September?? I definitely don't think I would have expected her to know my last boyfriend, though ... hahah ... it was a freaking Q&A! She was boring! I was searching for anything!

Gee, it turns out that equation is so completely accurate.
