My nest memory is not epic, but she is a lawyer in CA somewhere making the big bucks. She posted her xmas budget one year, and it was like 1000$ for each member of the family, plus a vacation for for their parents. They had the money, so good for them, but still shocking for me to see how the 1% lives.
The craziest 2 things I remember are 1. a huge debate about how she thinks everyone is fat, and that women only look attractive about 10 lbs below the healthy BMI range. She posted a pic of herself and she looked unhealthily thin IMO.
And 2. She apparently considered hiring a surrogate (possibly from India? I can't remember) to have a child, purely to save her precious body.
Oh, also. Something about having either 2 or 3 nannies so she had round the clock care, since she will be working her big important biglaw job. IIRC there was no flaming about never seeing your kid, just general shock and awe as well as lecturing her that in order to have round the clock care, no she couldn't hire just one nanny.
And Elle invidia is all kinds o' crazy. This does not surprise me,
Not only crazy, but one of the most narcissistic people I've ever encountered. High maintenance, but dammit, she's entitled to be because she's better!
I also remember something about her husband planning/attending a bachelor party that hired black strippers so the white dudes in attendance could live out a plantation fantasy.

She has been around forever (was on the Knot when she married in 2004), I believe starting out as Invidia. There were always lots and lots of posts from her about her wealth, education, and various rules imposed on her by being part of certain high society (can't have larger than a 1 carat ring because it's "tacky" in her elite social circle, she would under no circumstance ever get divorced because it is not acceptable in her circle, etc). Then she would say something super crazy that lead to high drama that doesn't even compare to today's thread, and there would be so much backlash against her that she would GBCN - but always came back under another user name. She was actually nice to me for a while and we had a good bit of communication through email and instant message where she gave me a lot of advice about my job search during my last semester of law school. However, her posts just kept getting nastier and nastier and my opinion changed about her, and the contact stopped.
After Invidia she became Bride90210, then Bride042404. I stopped going on Married Life quite some time ago because I got sick of the drama, but I read on other boards that she pissed someone off as Bride042404 so much that apparently they contacted the law firm where she worked. I have no idea what they said or what happened. Apparently her personal info was also posted on Married Life. I heard that she GBCNed, and I thought it was for good this time because of her personal info being posted.
When we moved over to Proboards I started posting again on Married Life and found out that she never left and is posting now as Elle. This is when I made the GRAVE mistake of looking her up on LinkedIn, as I was curious and hadn't even thought of her in years. Man, do I regret that, because it really brought out the crazy. She called me out over on Married Life for "stalking" her, then threatened to post my full name and the link to my business on ML, and then proceeded to make fun of my business website for various reasons.
Her post that caused all the drama today was in reaction to my post about my friend, and I truly believe that it was meant to be a personal insult to my friend to get to me.
The story that sticks out the most to me, I'm sure because I'm fat and was really offended by it, was when she was going on a trip to Vegas and planned to go out to clubs with a group of girls. She was truly upset and obsessing because one of the girls in the group is fat, and this could cause them to not be able to get VIP access to clubs and have to stand in line.
I call bs on this person. I'm intrigued now, but (as I said at brunch today...) I'm inclined to think people who are such AWs about their "fabulous" lives are all lying
GoDawgs, I only "know" you from S&B but I lurked on ML this weekend and read the whole post before it was DDd. I could not believe how ridiculous it was, on ALL levels, from the utter tackiness of the first post to her attacking you. I'm a knottie from way back, but never hung out on ML or MM, and even I heard whispers of the cray-cray that was Invidia/now elle on my home board.
I hope that your friend and EVERYONE out there who is dealing with devastation are safe, keeping warm, and getting help!

I do know someone who has met her. Apparently she is nice IRL. But I have no personal knowledge.

She's legit as far as having gone to a great law school, having a lot of money and a high paying job. She also posts plenty of things that make her life sound not so fabulous, though.

Thank you! I can't imagine what it must be like to go days on end without power in a city that is a mess.
I didn't have power for 5 days. I got it back some people didn't. Mh is going to go to work on a looting detail. The lines for gas are crazy. I don't even know what else to say.

Well why didn't you just go to your neighborhood meeting?

Omg. No. Just no.
Everything else that has been posted are opinions and I am not going to get into a disagreement over them but this is a disgusting misstatement and I am not going to leave it out there. My husband attended his old roommate's bachelor party in a different state. Once he was there, one of the other groomsmen (whom DH had never met before) ordered prostitutes to live out some disgusting plantation fantasy. My husband objected, called and told me about it, and left the next day. He has not spoken to the other groomsman since and when the guy tried to sit next to us at the rehearsal dinner I told him he was disgusting and DH and I got up and moved. If people want to dislike me for things I've done or said, fine, but to imply DH or I was OK with that is a load of bullshit and I am not going to be maligned with it.
There are a lot of other myths in here too, which there is really no point in addressing, but that is a nasty, disgusting story and it is not true.

Being from NJ and one of the ones that found your post to be inflammatory I am relieved to hear this isn't true. Thanks for addressing it - it was def the worst of the stories.

I apologize for the initial post. It was insensitive and wrong and I am sorry.

I refuse to believe this happened. Refuse!

Apparently it didn't, thank God.
Well, it did happen but without Mr Elle's involvement or approval.
