So let me get this straight, the email exchange between Kimmer/Heidi she says it IS her in the red dress as a Russian bride, BUT has also told us here at LCF and Jimmys site and elsewhere that she is KIMMER and HEIDI DIAZ? Ok... so explain the investigator? LOL

COME ON WOMAN WE ARE NOT THAT STUPID!

About last night, all I can say is WOW!!!

To Seen: Awesome posts!

To Buzzy: Awesome work!!

I can't help but wonder where was SL & TT last night? Or the other admins? Have they all jumped ship? Gawd, they have GOT to feel like total buttholes for believing all the Kimmer crap.

Shame on WOMANS WORLD MAGAZINE for not checking this out before publishing it! They should be accountable too!
I will never ever lay eyes on that mag again.

Re:SL: I need clarification on the TOS 7 Minutes ago
I guess I am still confused. A kimkins member I know well who has always been very supportive and positive to everyone was banned after she sent a pm with the _link_ to the news story to 2 members of a challenge forum she started. She was and is very upset by this action and very puzzled by it too. I echo her confusion and think that the TOS needs further clarification. Please advise.

I see. Can you please PM me with her email addy? I'll also need her username here. Maybe I can help.
Please note, although no boardcode and smiley buttons are shown, they are still useable
Yes please PM me the info so I can use her account too since I banned her, oh and now I'll ban you...

Oh Tippy... you've let it go to your head!

FWIW, from what I can tell, the removal has nothing to do with any complaints about the page - I'm pretty sure it's internal Wikipedia sysops/admins getting picky over the formatting, things I mentioned before that I had been unaware of, such as links having to be at the end of the article and not in the article body. They had also challenged the sources, saying we needed more credible authority. I thought that KTLA (A LA TImes affiliate, thanks whoever figured that out) and About.com (a NY Times affiliate) should have done the trick.

ANYWAY doggone it, I'll pursue the challenge procedure and let you know what happens.

GREAT WORK on the red dress find, Buzzybee!

OK it's 2am and I have to be up at 6, and go sit at my vendor stand near the football stadium for 12 hours tomorrow - gonna be a long day! ROLL TIDE :-)
Yes, I saw it was gone. Why don't you set it up on the Russian Wikipedia site

I agree. Even if they messed up initially, the fact that they have done NO FOLLOW UP despite a constant flow of information showing her to be a liar and a fraud tells me they SUCK!

I have made a special point to tell all my friends exactly how much they suck and why.

Well that honestly and truly was the icing on the cake for me. Not that I didn't believe a word you were all saying to begin with, because she screamed guilty from the get go. But I made a deal with myself that once that red dress was found, because I knew it would be, I'd be outta there.

Now...., to get my money back, and to get to know all of you folks over here trying a healthier low carb lifestyle.

So hiya. I'm bluejeans. Looks like we may be spending some time together......

Here's an excerpt from one of the Kimkins newsletters that are still posted on the site. This is from Vol. 1, Issue 7:

Quote:
If you’re still on the fence about whether lower calories means ruined metabolism, keep in mind that gastric bypass patients are intended to eat around 500 calories a day after surgery. It’s the entire purpose of the surgery. Those that follow the 500 calorie instructions lose extremely fast. Those who can’t commit and pick easily digestible high calorie foods like mashed potatoes, candy, soda, chips, alcohol and ice cream don’t lose or may even gain.

If you’re considering a diet don’t be afraid of losing quickly. Do be afraid of the side effects of obesity. It only take a few extra pounds before developing Type 2 diabetes and once you have it, it’s for life. Your cells never regain their ability to use insulin.

Naturally I’d like to suggest the Kimkins Diet for anyone who’s serious about losing weight. But the Kimkins program is strict, it’s not for sissies. It’s for people who want to lose now.
So the choices are starvation or junk food? And if you can't starve yourself you're a sissy. I think this sums up the whole philosophy of this disgusting sham of a "diet".

***NEWS FLASH***
Source: Rooters: 6 October 2007

The US Immigration Dept today issued a statement on the recent surge in popularity of Eastern European Block citizens looking for love websites.

In its daily target report from the ISP International Network, there was approximately a 5995% increase in traffic flow to the websites over the last 2 days. Keen to understand the recent demand to visit the lovelorn, Rooters went through the history of visitors through IP research and managed to track down one of the original US trawlers to a location in Corona CA. Suprisingly, whilst the sites visited were mostly looking for husbands (of the male persuasion - some adams apples were debateable) the person we managed to contact was in actual fact female. Here's what she had to say:

"with a quack quack here and a quack quack there, here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a quack quack"

We seeked comment from more recent visitors to the sites for their input on the recent surge in popularity. For some bizzarre reason they all seemed incredibly excited and it was rather hard to decipher but here's snippets of what some of them had to say.

Liar, Liar stretch pants on fire

I WAS ROBBED MOB STYLE BY A RUSSIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, if that red dressed Russian doesn't end up with a husband after all this publicity I will be darn shocked!

THE DUCK HAS STRUCK!!!

IF THE RED DRESS DOESN'T FIT THEY CAN'T ACQUIT!!!

YOU'RE NOT BLIND LIKE BAMBI ARE YOU????????

One person was seen running around with their undies pulled over their head shouting "Huggieeesssssssssssssssssssssssss (are diapers)"

Keen to get the inside story, Rooters seeked a comment from one of the most visited russian bride web sites, a woman better known as "the Kimmer" - Я плевать на вас kimmer и все ложь вы решили рассказать тюрьме будет очень SNATTY место!

The Dept was keen to issue a warning to any US citizens to be aware of possible scam artists. However investigation into the SNATT, Rooters is confused as to exactly which website they refer to.

OMG! Why, oh why did I zone out on the couch last night? I missed the party, but I'm here with some after-party Fawn shakes, with festive umbrellas, and so much praise for BuzzyBee and seen that I am on the verge of fawwwwnnnnnnninnnngggggg!

I think the Rooters press release should be followed up with a Public Service Announcement (in large type so maybe Bambi can see, poor thing...):

I went to a high school football game last night. It is the 50th anniversary of the school and it was a big celebration. The team won (Go Gladiators!), there was a cool fireworks show afterward, and while I was watching all this, you guys found the red dress photo.

Life is beautiful!

Woo hoo Buzzy Bee!!! You are the woman!!

It cracks me up that you hit the jackpot in less then 10 minutes, because it took me about 10 minutes to find the first Russian Bride Annette too! Love the symmetry of that.

Now everybody can go back to a semi-normal life away from the Russian bride sites!

So, the only one that's left, is the "Kimmer" pic where she's sitting on a white lounge chair wearing white slacks (yes, slacks...not stretchy pants) and that black and taupe shirt..right?

Or am I still behind?
