Why the fascination with Kimmer?

[KROERT]

And she only has, what two modeling photos. Wouldn't you be posting pictures all over the place, showing people how amazing you look. I just don't get it. And when she was on here she only had the same two photos, and would never update. Give me a break! If that were me, you guys would see a new photo every week. Also, she is a diet guru! Can you imagine if Dr. A or any of the other diet pioneers out there didn't show their face? What a crock of @#%$.

I found the same site also lol

[Cutie]

someone just posted elsewhere that tippy has now been "duckified"

i guess it was just a matter of time, when she decided to become an admin...she became a target for that group.

This from Kimmer is too much!

THANK YOU everyone who has sent PMs and emails of support. It's taking hours to read them ... and I read each one. Many of you are asking how to help. Hmmm, I'm not very good at asking people for help. We were raised to be self-sufficient (which is probably why my people skills suck badly!)

I bet she has hours of fan mail to read through - NOT. She continues to talk like the queen with the imperial "we". Same tactic she used when she finally responded about the PI pictures.

LOL - in Kimmer's mind she's a beautiful, thin, young woman with legions of adoring fans surrounded by employees who work night and day for little or no money.

Oh yeah, and she works tirelessly as a mom, foster mom, CASA, volunteers at numerous worthy causes and any money she makes goes towards "her boys."

She makes Mother Theresa look like a slacker.

we all are. Someone put her pic on their avatar over at the Kimpire and got banned..So, I'm assuming that is a touchy subject.

that would be me ... i posted about it on this thread and no more than 5 minutes after i changed and posted some messages on the board (my messages were VERY supportive, i dunno what the problem was) ... poof ... my access went away.

lets see if this link works to my post -- if not its message 9644 on this thread.

No you are not! You have to know photoshop to know that it's a fake, because you can see that she used the wand (on the biggest setting) to try to blur the edges, it's distinctive in the pattern it leaves. Anyhew you aren't gullible, but when a photo has one blurry part and the rest is fine, it usually means someone's been playing with it

Check out Brad. He lost 36 pounds and his nose grew twice as big!

He's also wearing a hair piece in the after pic. I sure hope he didn't lose all that dark hair after doing Heidi's diet.....

[aloise]

boy.. I'm still trying to catch up. but.. I would think Jimmy Moore is thanking his lucky stars that the LCF community put pressure on him to take a closer look at Kimkins when he was so adamately and visibly advocating it.

He got out just before it hit the fan.

What it took from the top of his head it must have added to his eyebrows...Not to mention kimkins apparently changed his ethnicity too

Hi guys- last night in the middle of the night I emailed the person with the ebay sale on the kimmer ad and gave her the link to the fat chicks article - attached is her response.

I can understand your concern by the information you have from the link you emailed me. Although I understand your concern, I at this time do not agree with the artical you linked to as it has many facts wrong! Both my husband and I have lost wieght on this plan and we have NEVER gone below 1200 callories aday. I can see how someone could take any diet to the extream and it would hurt thier health, but that can be said of almost anything not just this diet plan. That being said, I have decided to take down the auction, until I can look into the issue and see if it is valid or not. If after some research I find information you sent me is true, then I of coarse will not relist the add, but if I find that the information you sent is false, then I will of re-list the item. Thank you for your time--

I do think the Vanessa pic on the KK site is a stock photo and not the real Vanessa Sharpe if she even exists.

found where HKD has a possible roommate or associate by the name of Dennis C. Sharp, age 33.

Of coarse I can? Hey Zeus she is bad!

[DivaHerself]

Let's see. Milking 9/11 caught flak, so now she'll spin imaginary tragedy as an excuse for sweeping things under the rug:

Re:Other Kimkins Stuff 12 Minutes ago
OK, here's what I'm going to do, but first let me tell you why:

I'm a foster mother and take teenage boys. Why? Because everyone wants babies/toddlers, nobody wants teens.

One day I got a call for an emergency placement for a 6 year old boy, no other family in the agency had "beds". The boy was totally darling, but wouldn't talk due to trauma. His father had killed his mother and he found her in the closet. He began wetting the bed which is older sister said he had never done before.

About a week later we're all at the table eating dinner. The older boys are talking, laughing. Suddenly the little boy starts talking about what happened and what he saw. The details were horrifying. But what surprised me more is that the other boys starting talking about what they had seen in their homes. Domestic violence barely describes it.

Now, it's hard for me to listen to these stories because I have a few of my own and I'd rather not travel down memory lane BUT it's important for those boys to get their feelings out. So I let them talk, of course.

After that night, the boys formed even closer friendships (knock on wood all of my boys get a lot) and the little boy stopped wetting the bed. It helps to verbalize (even written words).

So to balance the line between people who need to "get it out" and those who don't want to hear about "anti-Kimmer" anymore, I'm going to open a forum, under the Playpen, called "Kimmer Chatter".

I appreciate all of the support and kind words -- truly -- but there's no winning with those people. There's no "end", ever. I've said what I have to say and now I'm going to back to work.

Oh, there'll be an end all right. Probably when Jeanessa shows up in town.

[CarolinaRocker]

holy moly....wth does her "fosters kids" have to do with this mess That chick is insane

Thanks Diva I just threw up in my mouth!

Are you kidding me? She's still sticking to the I have foster kids story. IF SHE DOESN'T GET THROWN IN JAIL SOON, I'M GOING TO!

because....then I'd have to make up more crap to keep track of

She has no shame! She can't actually believe her lies at this point, can she????

i don't know how it is in california, but here in PA they keep close tabs on you if you're a foster parent. they make sure you enroll your kids in school, take them to the doctor, keep up with immunizations, dental, etc. someone comes to visit for an evaluation periodically. i don't see how she would be able to say she has foster kids and really doesn't.

At the bottom of the article:

Yet at the top is says "by Vanessa Sharp"

This article doesn't have a date on it that I could see. Do you think that she is now planting this type of thing so that it looks like Vanessa is actually Kimmer and Heidi is just the friend that she said she was in an earlier post? She wants to take the heat off "Heidi".

[wifezilla]

So her imaginary foster kids inspired her to start a new thread called Kimmer chatter? So are people who post there going to lose their membership if they say something she doesn't like?

Because nobody shows up for evaluations, because she doesn't have foster kids.

Riverside County already knows about her little fundraising for foster kids scam, and is working on it.
