Fan Review of Factory Girl
Here's a review of Factory Girl from the perspective of a Mary-Kate and Ashley fan.
"Ok guys, I saw Factory Girl yesterday. It was only in one theatre in LA, and so it was ok but the MK situation is weird. So i like put all my effort into keeping my eyes out for her and in this one party scene that really is a conversation between Edie and Andy W., I saw MK- she was in the BACKGROUND!! SHE WAS AN EXTRA!!! She looked cute and whatever, but not only did she have no lines, she was completely in the background for no more than 3 seconds. I wouldn't say she had a supporting role at all- we were misled! it was so depressing. but whatever it was an ok movie."

First Reviews of Factory Girl Coming In
Apparently Mary-Kate is in the movie, but only in the background for a moment. No talky. Would of been better to just cut her out completely cause that is just insulting. I mean she's emmy nominated with over 20 years of acting experience for gods sake. What a waste. Leave it to Hollywood to judge an actor merely by shallow first impressions.
Go.com
Be Shocked Most By: How good Pearce is as Andy Warhol even though the movie sucks. And how bad Illeana Douglas is as famous Vogue editor Diana Vreeland in her one scene (no one can even be bothered to pronounce the historical figure's name correctly — it was Dee-anna, not Die-anna).And how totally absent credited co-star Mary-Kate Olsen is. You barely see her standing in the background of one shot. Whatever screen time she got was chopped out completely.
Variety.com
The wild, unhinged life of Andy Warhol's favorite "superstar," Edie Sedgwick, is refashioned in "Factory Girl" as a tame biopic with little feel for the 1960s New York Underground. Though Sedgwick embodied everything that glittered and grated about the era's counterculture, director George Hickenlooper evinces no deep interest in the time and place, resulting in a film that feels removed from its source. With last-minute reshoots and editing, the pic feels rushed, and it will have a hard time registering with target auds until impending vid release.
(no mention of MK)Hollywoodreporter.com
Bottom Line: More successful as a slice of pop-culture history than as a biopic, despite two powerful leads.
(no mention of MK)Foxnews.com
If you really want to know more about Edie, Andy, Bob and all the people in "Factory Girl," there are plenty of books and documentaries from which to draw the "real" story. But if you just want to see a really entertaining movie about a slice of New York pop culture, with terrific, energetic performances from good young actors, this movie is sufficient.

Mary-Kate is Crazy
"I didn't say it I swear!"
Just ask anyone at Dualstar. Or me. That girl is ca-razy yo know what im sayin? One time she was like at a meeting and you know what she said? And I quote, "So like uh, where do you guys like keep my billion dollars? Me and my boyfriend wanna go roll in it a while. We're bored with just walking around LA looking cool and shitzal." After we rolled our eyes we patiently told her it's not all in cash, it's just a total net worth value based on her assets both liquid and fixed. Shew, right over her head.
You see why we seldom let her do interviews? She's a loose Kaynon, you never know what that girl is going to say. For instance in her latest interview she totally let the cat out of the bag by revealing the name of her new fashion line coming out next spring. We couldn't believe it! The interviewer asked a nono question but before Sally, the Dualstar PR rep, could stop her Kate blurted, "I love fashion. I don't know what else to say." That's right, you guessed it, that's the name of her new fashion line called, "I Mary-Kate Love Fashion I Don't Know What Else to Say" Now thats all gone to hell thank you very much.
Sigh.
Oh well enjoy her latest interview because it will probably be her last for the rest of her natural born life if i have anything to say about it.
Ashley Coming Out With New Fashion Line
(NEW YORK) While celebrity guests attending the Balenciaga party at Barneys Friday night wore Ghesquière nearly head to toe, Ashley Olsen used the opportunity to test drive a piece from what The Daily has learned will be the name of her forthcoming line, The Row. Her cropped navy-and-forest-green plaid-printed jacket was a chic update on the carpetbagger look for which she and Mary Kate have become best known. While details remain under wraps, the voluminous little blazer looked a healthy contender for Ashley’s foray into the world of designer fashion.
Former Ashley Olsen Boyfriend Scott Sartiano Embezzler?
"I may be bad, but i feel goooood."
NEW YORK (AP) _ A man who says he invested $1.75 million in the restaurant-nightclub Butter charges in a lawsuit that the celebrity hot spot's operators have stolen millions of dollars from the business without repaying him a cent.
Alireza Ghassemi says in court papers that the hangout for Paris Hilton, the Olsen twins, Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson and Sean Combs has generated millions of dollars since it opened in April 2002 but he has received nothing because the two operators are churning Butter's books.Ghassemi, a New York businessman, and his company, Bala Associates Inc., say in court papers that Scott Sartiano, the eatery's chief operating officer, and Simon Akiva, the chief financial officer, have received "substantial unlawful distributions of cash" from Butter.

Mary-Kate is Turning Green
Groovygreen.com Mary-Kate Olsen and The Golden Globes Going Green?Some great green gossip this morning, courtesy of Danny Seo–host of ‘Simply Green w/Danny Seo’ on Sirius Satellite Radio. Danny had the Executive Director of the Environmental Media Association on as a guest and was treated to some celeb green tidbits. Here we go!
Apparently, Mary-Kate Olsen is looking to convert her tween fashion line at Walmart into a green fashion empire. She’s currently exploring sourcing organic materials for the clothing line. With Walmart slapping on a green smile at every turn these days, it’s not hard to guess that maybe some of that effort is spreading to its suppliers. That, or they’re pressuring the hell out of them. Either way, keep it coming.

Would You Lie to Mary-Kate and Ashley?
If your answer is no then sorry you failed the test. The correct answer is yes. But only if your a good liar. Because if you are then you might win a chance to get your lie published in Girl Talk Magazine (UK). Go ahead, make up some horrendously delicious lie. And if they like it they might choose you! That's right, Mary-Kate and Ashley themselves will choose the winner. Believe me they love a good lie. Lying is an art. Ask any actor. That's basically what actors do. Lie. You have to keep a straight face. You have to believe in the lie. It's not easy. Unfortunately I'm no good at it so instead I just blab the truth without thinking and get into all sorts of trouble.

Mary-Kate and Ashley on Myspace?
"Are we on Myspace now Ashley?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
"Stop messin with me."
"Messing with who?"
"Cut it out!"
"Cut what out?"
"I'm the cute one!"
According to their new August 2006 hip picks, Mary-Kate and Ashley are going on Myspace. Myspace? But they're already on Myspace. Here I'll show you...
Here's Mary-Kate
Here's Ashley
Here's both together
But here's something that really creeped me out. Michelle Tanner is there too!
(Warning: If your easily scared I suggest you skip this next part. It will give you nightmares for sure)
How is this possible?
Mary-Kate and Ashley played Michelle didn't they? They're both grown up now. I thought and I thought. How can Michelle Tanner be on Myspace? There could only be one explanation: Michelle's spirit is still alive. It didn't die with Full House. She must be communicating with us through Myspace.
I contacted the paranormal department at the local university who referred me to a woman known for her psychic abilities. When she arrived and looked at Michelle's Myspace profile she immediately went into a trance.
She shook, she trembled. When it was over she looked like she'd seen ghost. She shook her head no no no and tried to get away.
I stopped her.
I had to know if that really was Michelle on Myspace. I gave her a glass a water and she sat down, her hand shaking so much she couldn't get the water to her lips. After a few minutes she calmed down enough to talk and she told me what she saw. It was horrible.
A malevolent spirit sensed Michelle's total absolute goodness and innocence. He decided he wanted her for his own evil purposes. He called upon Lucifer himself for permission to come into our world and drag her away to his. With an impossibly evil voice Lucifer said:
"Permission granted."
It happened on the Full House set.
At the end of filming the last episode emotions were high. Everyone was crying. Michelle didn't want it to end. She went over to the monitor in a secluded part of the studio as she did so many times in the past and watched as the cast kissed and hugged and said their goodbyes. She couldn't stop watching. She cried and cried.
Eventually everyone was gone.
The monitor was off. She was alone. Somehow they forgot about her. She lay down on the floor in a fetal position, whimpering. At the exact moment when she was most vulnerable, the most alone, the most in need of comfort, she heard a familiar voice....
"Don't worry little one, Uncle Jesse is here."
Michelle looked up with tear soaked eyes. "Uncle Jesse! I love Uncle Jesse!"
"I won't let Full House end," Jesse said with a devious smile. "Come with me and I will make them renew for another eight years. All they want in return is your immortal soul. That's not too much to ask is it? Heck, actors do that every day. I know I do."
Michelle wiped away her tears and smiled.
"With residuals?"
Jesse eyes grew red with anger but quickly went back to normal.
"You little demon," he said through clenched teeth. "Alright. With residuals."
Michelle gave the thumbs up. "You got it dude."
Pop she was gone.
Now she's trapped there.
Desperately I asked the psychic where was Michelle being held? We had to save her. She whispered, "Its a place that has lured many innocent children to they're doom. Sucking them into countless hours of wasted life. A place that swallows your soul bones and all. Where is this place you ask?" She looked at me with bloodshot eyes and cried maniacally:
"Myspaaaaaace!"
THE END
p.s. Hope you liked that story. On a more serious note, I hope Kay and Ash REALLY get involved with their Myspace sites. Not like the club where it seemed as if they were pretty much hands off. The problem is time. As they say, time is the fire in which we burn. There just isn't enough of it to do everything.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Fall From 35th to 37th Place on Forbes Top 100 Celeb List
35. Angelina Jolie
37. The Olsen Twins
38. Nicole Kidman
"Haha. These twins beat the Olsen twins. I got it now dude."
"Look at that bitch Angelina so smug I hate her. She's kicking our collective asses this year Ashley. Thirty seven? She LOOKS thirty seven. We have to get back on top. What are we going to do?"
"Well I tried to snag Brad but she got to him first. What have YOU done for Dualstar lately Kate?"
"Uh, I, oh yeah, I stopped wearing panties."
"Wear panties MK!"
Petite hipster sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley earn the bulk of their income from their $1 billion (sales) retail empire, Dualstar, which pumps out tween-oriented merchandise. (Wal-Mart Stores is a huge customer.) The twins displayed a decidedly sexier side this year when they appeared in print ads for designer Badgley Mischka--as sure a sign as any that their relevance to the tween market may be fading. It's no wonder that Dualstar recently started marketing brands from other teen stars, like tow-heads Dylan and Cole Sprouse from the Disney Channel's "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."

Mary-Kate and Ashley to Sing Again?
“We have a meeting scheduled for June with Dual Star Entertainment, which is the management company for teen stars Ashley Olsen and Mary Kate Olsen, and also for the Sprouse twins,” says Farrow. “The Olsen Twins would be great for either a live feature or an animated film. What people forget is that the Olsen Twins can sing, and in fact, they actually have a number of music CDs that have gone multi-platinum. So we are awaiting this meeting with much anticipation and confidence. Something always seems to pop up out of nowhere.”
Ashley Olsen Auctioned Off for a Measly $5000
Earlier this month, an afternoon tea with actress Ashley Olsen went for $5,000 at the annual benefit for P.S. 87 on the Upper West Side.
"It was really loud and hectic, but from what I remember my husband was bidding back and forth with one other person," the winner of the Olsen tea, Wendy Halperin, said about her winning bid. "The way we look at it, it's our donation to the school for the year. ... We feel like our kids are getting a great education there and we don't pay for private school."
Ms. Halperin's 6-year-old daughter, Emily, will take Ms. Olsen for afternoon tea at Alice's Tea Cup on 73rd Street.
Uh, hello? I would of paid more? Duh. Why wasn't I informed? What am I chopped liver? Oh. I see. Sniff. I out of the loop. I've been marginalized. I've been ostracized. I know what this is about. It's because of that little incident isn't it? It wasn't my fault! I had too much to drink, I didn't mean to get naked and run down the street screaming Mary-Kate and I are engaged! Waaaaah! I want to drink teeeeea! With Ashleeeeey! Hehe. That rhymed. Cry.
I guess it's the utmost in naivety to think this event has yet to occur? Because if it hasn't then I'm going to camp out at Alice's Tea Cup on 73d street and don't you think I won't.
Paris Hilton Dumps Stavros Niarchos. But Why?
Paris Hilton and her boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, have split, a source close to Hilton tells PEOPLE.
When asked about the split, Hilton's rep, Elliot Mintz, says, "It is not my policy to comment on my client’s private life. But I would not offer a denial."
Hilton, 25, and Niarchos, 21, began dating last year.
Last month Hilton threw Niarchos a surprise 21st birthday bash at her Hollywood Hills pad. Some 100 guests turned out for the party, during which "Stavros did back flips into the pool and jumped from one end to the other," said a guest. "Everyone gasped and begged him not to continue because his stunts looked dangerous."
The happy couple were inseparable that night, holding hands and kissing.
Niarchos was previously involved with Mary-Kate Olsen, whom he left for Hilton.
For her part, Hilton was previously engaged to Paris Latsis, also a Greek shipping heir.New High Quality Photos of Mary-Kate Olsen from the MET Costume Institute Benefit Gala (5-1-2006)
So why did they break up? From what I've heard this is what finally did it. Later that night after the birthday party Paris and Stav were going at it hot and heavy. Paris was bouncing like a beach ball on top of him, moaning and groaning, when all of a sudden Stav lets out this monkey-like screech. Paris froze. A cold shiver ran up her spine. That sound wasn't human, she thought. Those moves he did at the party weren't human, she thought. Stav wasn't human. He was a monkey. All hell broke loose.
"Oh my fucking Jeeezzzuuuss Gawwwwwwd I can't believe I'm having sex with a monkey! Uuuugh! Ewwwwww! Grooooosss! Help! I'm being boned by a monkey! I'm having monkey sex literally! I have monkey germs! Get some hot water! Get some iodine! Get some disinfectant! Get some vagasil! This is most definitely not hot at all!"

"Oh God yes I'd die if some guy said that to me. Suh-weet. And some fricken flowers wouldn't hurt either? Duh! Hey Ash, that Darcy dude was like totally hot in the movie wasn't he?"

Mary-Kate and Ashley Fire Michael Pagnotta
NOTE: Although it is true Mr. Pagnotta left his position at Dualstar, the VH1 interview below was fabricated by me for satirical purposes - Michael Shipley
"F*ck you Mary-Kate and Ashley!"
Page Six "LONGTIME FLACK GETS THE OLSEN BOOT AFTER more than a decade of guiding their career, p.r. man Michael Pagnotta has been dumped by Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen and replaced with Annett Wolff. Pagnotta, who was given the pink slip earlier this month, tells PAGE SIX: "It's been 13-plus years I worked with them. I was able to accomplish a tremendous amount for them. Change is good." Wolff declined to comment on whether or not Ashley is dating L.A. club owner Greg Chaite."Mr. Pagnotta then went on VH1 to vent his frustration after being unceremoniously thrown out of Dualstar offices and banned from returning. Here's a transcript: VH1: "Ok Michael. Tell us your side of the story." MP: "First I'd like to make a statement." VH1: "Alright but hurry." MP: "F*ck you Mary-Kate and Ashley!" VH1: "How touching. Now get on with juicy stuff." MP: "It was horrible. I was sitting in my office eating my usual pastrami on rye when in bursts these two huge guys with baseball bats. They proceeded to smash every thing in my office!" VH1: "Oh my God!" MP: "God had nothing to do with these demons from hell." VH1: "Then what happened?" MP: "Well I was terrified as you can imagine." VH1: "Yes but nobody cares about that. Just tell us what happened next!" MP: "After they finished smashing everything to bits, they grabbed me and started hauling me to the exit. I asked 'Why why?!' They said, 'Fired fired!' I asked them why they were told to smash everything and they said, 'We weren't.' " VH1: "Oh that is just evil. Simon Cowell evil." MP: "Tell me about it." VH1: "What happened next?" MP: "I demanded to speak to the girls but I was told they were out of the country. Yeah right my ass." VH1: "But they are out of the country. They're in Australia right now." MP: "How convenient!" VH1: "What are you going to do now Michael?" MP: "I've been offered a job at that extremely popular and very shweet web site Olsen Twins News. It's only natural since I've been feeding them inside info for years now. Hey do you think that's why I was fired?" VH1: "Duh." But seriously... do you see what I see? I definitely see a pattern here. All the men at Dualstar are being replaced with fembots. We're witnessing the final feminization of Dualstar folks. First Robert now Michael. Who's next? If there are any males left there they must be real nervous right about now, know what I'm sayin? If you don't have estrogen coursing through your veins then you better forget working for MK&A. If I'm ever to personally infiltrate that organization I'm going to have to change my name to Michelle and get a sex change -- or gain 50 pounds of muscle and be one of their bodyguards. Think I prefer the sex change. source: Livejournal.com/ Mkaolsen
New John "Staymoist" Stamos Interview in OrangeCoast Magazine
Orangecoastmagazine.com/ Stamos
John Stamos may play a confident PR man on the ABC comedy Jake in Progress, but on this day he is a bit lost. Literally. The actor is just a few weeks into shooting the second season of his Monday night series and hasn’t quite learned his way around the show’s new location on the 20th Century Fox studio lot. (read the rest...)
You know, I just realized something. Stamos is of Greek descent. His original name is Stamotopoulos (Stamos Biography) I wonder if that had anything to do with Mary-Kate liking Greek dudes? Too bad not all Greek guys are as good as Stamos. *cough* Stavros *cough*
Want some strange? In an episode of Full House Jesse's cousin visits. Guess what his name was? That's right -- Stavros!
You know, if Stamos wasn't the proverbial forbidden fruit, I wonder if Mary-Kate might be Mrs. Stamos by now? Whoa. Wouldn't that be like marrying your uncle? If she married Uncle Jesse would she be her own aunt? Sort of like being my own grandpa? Now that would be the wedding of the century!
I have a theory about Mary-Kate's engagement to Stavros. I'm willing to bet Stavros wanted more than Mary-Kate was willing to give before marriage, know what I mean? Mary-Kate was in love. She didn't want to lose him so she proposed. Letting his short sword do all the talking, Stavros went off half-cocked, accepted her proposal, even though he wasn't in love with her. He just wanted the goodies.
Afterwards, he got cold feet and in a panic tried to think of a way out of it. Too chicken to tell her the truth, he came up with a plan. He would brazenly start seeing other women to piss off Mary-Kate and make her call off the wedding. Well your plan worked Stavros. But it made you look like a real dick. You should of just been honest with her.
Now that I think about it I can't really blame him too much. Mary-Kate definitely has some goodies. But not the just the ones he was after. Her goodies are inside as well as outside. She has a good heart. She's a real treasure as is Ashley. She's warm and generous and kind. She's funny as hell and has a rapist wit.
She's gorgeous on the outside too but her physical beauty is multiplied a thousand-fold by her beautiful mind. That's what sets her apart from all the rest. There's only one woman I know who matches if not exceeds her in this department. She knows who she is... :)
Hopefully he's learned from this. We all makes mistakes. But you have to pay for them. Either by condemnation or self-loathing. Either way you will pay.
Lesson learned: honesty is the best policy. Don't get caught in your own web of lies.

Paris Hilton Agrees to Mary-Kate's Peace Terms
Apparently the major event at the Golden Globes wasn't the handing out of awards. It was the agreement by Paris to Mary-Kate's peace terms.
The event has been dubbed by the press as the Paris Admitting She's a Boyfriend Stealing Bitch Accords.
I obtained a copy of the agreement from one of the many spies I have that riddle Dualstar's offices. Among the many demands for restitution, one stood out as particularly strange. Item four, paragraph eight was titled:
"Being Lucca's Bitch"
The document defined Being Lucca's Bitch as performing a series of tasks for Lucca on a daily basis. Those tasks included but were not limited to:
- walking
- feeding
- bathing
- massaging
- grooming
- being Lucca's chew toy
This should be tough for Paris because as we all know she usually is the bitch-er and not the bitch-ee. My prediction? She'll abrogate the agreement after a few days, screaming: "I can't take the bitch-ee life!" and the war will be back on. Stay tuned.
The Paris Hilton, Mary-Kate Olsen feud may be over. The uber-rich socialites had been on the outs and at one time in an interview with W magazine, Olsen admitted the two were having trouble once Paris started dating MK’s ex Stavros Niarchos.
In the interview Mary Kay said, "Paris and I always only had nice things to say about each other. Now I guess you can tell we're not talking. It's a hurtful and painful subject. I miss him and I love him, and I don't speak with him anymore.
Now Life & Stlyle will report that all is well in the Friday edition of the magazine.
All was forgiven on Jan. 16 at a Golden Globes party in Beverly Hills, the item in the magazine dishes.
According to a witness, the two were seated next to each other — and by the end of the night, they had made peace. “They were both over it,” says a pal.
“They just required the right circumstances to bury the hatchet.” And 10 days later, on Jan. 26, the new three amigos — Paris, MK and Stavros — all hung out at LA hotspot Teddy’s.
But a witness says that although they appeared to be having a good time, MK seemed a little jealous: “She was kind of on the sidelines, looking like she felt left out.”
It will be interesting to see if the truce lasts.
Mary-Kate Olsen Engaged to Thousandaire Webmaster Michael Shipley
I'm not supposed to be telling anyone this. She wanted to keep it a secret. But I'm so excited I just had to tell you guys. It's true. Mary-Kate and I are engaged!
Here's proof. I bought her an engagement ring. To throw off the media, we're saying she bought it herself.
MARY-KATE BUYS HER OWN ENGAGEMENT RING
MARY-KATE OLSEN won't be taking any chances on her boyfriend's taste when she decides to wed - she has already bought her engagement ring.
The Olsen twin has reportedly bought herself a $250,000 (GBP138,900) vintage ring - even though she hasn't even got a regular date.
The 19-year-old actress, who is still broken hearted after splitting up with Greek shipping heir STAVROS NIARCHOS in October (05), bought the antique 19th century rose-cut diamond-and-emerald engagement ring from a private broker, according to American magazine In Touch.
A pal tells the publication, "Mary-Kate hasn't worn the ring yet. She keeps it tucked away in her jewellery box, but she takes it out to show her friends and she looks at it all the time, too. It's breathtaking."
You want to know how I found this ring at such a cheap price? I don't like to brag but any ding dong can walk into a jewelry store and get a ring like this at full retail. I am nobody's ding dong. I had a trick up my sleeve.
She loaned me $500k for a ring which I agreed to pay back at $50/month for 10,000 months. But I knew I could get the same quality ring for half that. Then I'd only have to pay her $25/month for 10,000 months. Or, $50/month for 5000 months. Now that's what I call a good way to start a marriage to a responsible cost conscious coupon using woman like Mary-Kate.
I knew I didn't want just any ring. She's special so I wanted to get her something special. Something vintage. I knew this because that's all she talks about. Vintage this and vintage that. I didn't even know what the word meant. So I looked it up.
It seems that vintage means old. REALLY old. George Clooney old. Can you believe it? Why she wants old stuff when she could afford new stuff I'll never know. For some reason she likes old crap. Me I prefer new crap.
I put the word out on the street -- specifically in the diamond district in NYC. I was on the market for a ring. Specifically a vintage engagement ring. But, most importantly, a cheap vintage engagement ring. Maximum price: $250k.
It wasn't long before I got a bite. I got a call from some guy, who sort of sounded like Rodney Dangerfield, telling me he had what I needed -- an antique 19th century rose-cut diamond-and-emerald engagement ring. Price: $250k. Perfect. He said to just take a walk down 47th street between Fifth and Sixth Avenue and he'll meet me there. I agreed.
Diamond District, NYC
I grabbed the cash and started walking down 47th. I heard some guy whisper to me from an alley...
"Hey, bubee, you know, the last time I saw a face like that it had a hook it. And oh, by the way, you look hot, want some ice?"
At first I thought I was being propositioned. Happens a lot. I got a face like a boiled fist but I have a great ass. So I just gave him my standard reply: thanks but I don't swing that way, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Turned out it wasn't that type of proposition. It was the guy from the phone call. He grabbed me and pulled me into the alley.
He called himself Jacob the Crazy Jeweler. He said I was in luck -- he just happened to have one vintage engagement ring left at 50% off the full retail $500k. Score! He asked for the money.
I know what your thinking, but I'm no fool. I demanded to see the ring first. He carefully opened what looked like a hermetically sealed container. He said that it keeps the ring from deteriorating due to oxygenation.
Special hermetically sealed container that held the vintage ring.
He dumped out some stuff. Sort of looked like brown popcorn. He said they were pellets that protected the ring from cosmic rays. Sounded, and tasted, good to me.
Finally the ring fell out. I had to admit it, the ring def looked freaking old man:
Vintage one size fits all engagement ring
I asked if he had different sizes in case it didn't fit but he claimed it stretched so it was one size fits all. That was a plus.
I searched my feelings. Did I feel confident giving this total stranger I just met in an alley $250k for a ring I had no idea was authentic? Yes. Because he promised my money back if I wasn't totally satisfied.
He said he'd be back in that exact same alley tomorrow at this exact same time if I wanted a refund. This may sound cocky but I think I'm a pretty good judge of character. This guy looked trustworthily to me so I gave him the dough.
So that's the story. Believe it, or not.
