Pick up a copy of the July/August issue of Fast Company for a little light summer reading ... Julie is featured in an article on page 76, "The Scarlet Woman of Bentonville".
These few quotes from Julie tell you probably all you need to know about how she wound up in her mess ...
'Roehm has always been a centaur of sorts - half swan, half pit bull. Or as she puts it, "the princess and the tomboy", " I'm an extremely competitive person, so I liked playing on the all-boys teams because I was better than a lot of them."
"I really pushed the limits and never got caught. I always believed knowledge is power, and I can work hard and play hard." (Referring to moving around alot as a kid and being fluent in fitting in and partying).
And this (referring to fiscal self reliance) ... "I remember thinking I want to be able to do what I want to do when i want to do it."
But ... the article's post-script seems to be that she will be the comeback kid and the marketing world will adore her once again ...
"That's the great thing about America", she says, " people love a comeback. "I'm counting on it."
Read the article here.
And, of course, we ought to let George Parker ... aka Adscam ... have the last word

why does a magazine likes of Fast Company waste their time on her? who really cares about her except those of us who still can't believe she's still even viable after what she did !!!??!!!
Remeber she is a really good PR person at least when it comes to herself so just like television...rags are looking for what will bring interest to the magazine. Why do you think soaps and reality shows have done so well.... we all like to watch when controversy is all around...
Lets see....Media outlets that are no longer credible....Fox Business Channel (check), Fast Company (check)....
Sound familiar? Julie is clinical:

■Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
■Taking advantage of others
■Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
■Being jealous of others
■Believing that others are jealous of you
■Trouble keeping healthy relationships
■Setting unrealistic goals
■Being easily hurt and rejected

Hey, at least she's still hot!
