Hipster Grifter Guilty of Conning Fellow Hipsters

Looks like a biter to me.

This "Bobby" fellow sounds very, very bright: "I thought it was really strange that if she was dying of lung cancer, she’d be smoking pot.”

Um, yeah.

Yet another A+ entry from Jen Carlson. Was it drafted in crayon first?

she's scary, who would want a bj from her? or is it him?

The title of this story should be "Why people decide to get dumb tattoos"

I figured out the holes in this post. It was written by jen carlson. Her boyfriend probably got grifted, or a bj.

She's ugly as sin, but whities will bang any asian chick with a pulse.

Actually, this is just the logical progression of the hipster ethos: scamming, slacking, posing; the chick's just the uber version.

You forgot becoming a "journalist."

She looks like a chubby Bai Ling.

Hipster Gripster... I suppose that makes her a "GRIPSTER?!"

Ha Ha

you killed your punchline

Yep, she has issues and this snarky post, IMO, is right out of Junior High School.

"We have it on very good authority that she is still in town"??

This seem more like a TMZ hit piece than anything else...

She is unattractive, who would pay her for BJs? I give her money if I felt sorry for her.

"who would pay her for BJs?"

No one has said that ever happened.

She must be giving something up for money.

One thing that I do think is missing from both the Gothamist post as well as the Observer article is an explanation from her male vics as to why they let her grift go on as long as they let it. Someone says they have cancer but the ER didn't find any trace of any tumor??? UH...HELLO?

Also, there is something unsettling about the Observer injecting so many details about the lurid aspects of her various grifts. I wonder if the editors would have decided to do print the same article had the element of "yellow fever" not been a factor in how she was able to sucker so many clearly non-Asian males.

this bitch is dumb. she didn't even steal that much money. She actually lost money if you asked me. She could have just blew truckers for more money if she wanted to instead of having sex with whiny hipsters.

Her "Lot Lizard" days were probably what led to this anyway. Truckers eat too much food and watch too much TV to bother with whores anymore.

that is what did her in, whiny hipsters.

But this way also gets free room and board.

is there a reward for information leading to her arrest? I could totally catch her this weekend.

"Cannot wait until this Law & Order episode comes out."

Is it bad that I think that about almost every crime-related headline in this city? When they covered the crane collapse this season I was like "OMG WIN".

uh what do you mean by that exactly?

I hope this story has a "Happy Ending."

Wow - she's alot more attractive in her Observer photo.

Yeah, I met her in a bar. And turned down a similar but more flexible offer: "anything you want."

Wait... how is she 24 when she was born in 1987?

hahaha! ^

Was this woman adopted by Mormons or something?

That would explain a lot.

Seriously. Something is missing from this story. And it's very important. And it's very missing.

What is missing, I believe you; I just don't know what.

“I want to give you a hand job with my mouth"

-Greatest Female pick-up line ever.

"Amongst her notable traits, she has a tattoo on her back that reads 'I Love Beards'"

Tom Cruise just spit out his wheatgrass and exclaimed, "ME TOO!"

this story made me choke on my kimchi.

That's what you get for giving kimchi a handjob by using your mouth.

if she was spotted as recently at Friday, why hasn't anyone called the cops?

my hope is that with so many blogs picking up on this story, she finally gets busted and gets sent back to Utah before she cons anyone else.

just say no to mouth hand-jobs from strangers, people.

"if she was spotted as recently at Friday, why hasn't anyone called the cops?"

Right. Try this experiment: call 911 and say "there's someone here who is wanted in Utah for passing bad checks." Come back and tell us what happened.

Because hipsters also think they're gangsters somehow, so no snitchin'

Yeah, why didn't her coworker at VICE that oh-so-brilliantly Googled her turn her into the cops right then and there?

Answer: He wanted to skeeve a BJ out of the deal first!!!

Hey gothamist,

Do you really need to get so snarky and personal over someone who obviously has SERIOUS issues.

Grow up and act professional instead of like the hipsters you mock, will ya?

I recall GOTHAMIST mocking a very disabled older asian woman on the L train a while back. This one has issues as well. The story doesn't really go anywhere and it isn't a complete article. I would agree that someone in or close to gothamist got this in here. Its a shame some of us can't be more mature. I'm sorry to whomever got caught in this womans' issues.

Yeah, the reference to Billy Parker and the obsession with her pickup lines kind of make this read like "skanks in new york." Lots of talk about blow jobs and shit but literally only eight vague words on the actual cons. Lying ain't a crime until you take the money.

I wanted to ask the same thing. so she got free drinks, free cab rides hardly grifts.

was any money scammed? credit cards stolen and all that other stuff.

I'd say the hipster got the better end of the deal, they get to use this story and get bj's in the restroom.

"I wanted to ask the same thing. so she got free drinks, free cab rides hardly grifts."

Right, a girl that uses her looks to get free drinks and rides. That and she occasionally tries to hook up with guys at bars. And sometimes she lies about her background, and her job. So if this is what the word "grifter" means these days, all I can say is that I know a lot of them.

guess I have a different definition of grifting.

getting taken for a PBR or half a ride share hardly sounds like being grifted.

As far as I can see, she is guilty of no real crime here in NYC, aside from being a skanky phony. She's wanted back in Utah for writing bad checks and shit.

Kari Ferrell?

methinks that some gothamist staff had personal dealings with this one..I can sense it in Jen's "voice"

This post does read like a HS gossip column. But then again, doesn't all of gothamist?

I completely agree. The anecdotal evidence here is directly from Billy Parker and whatever he thinks of this chick.

Pretty fucked up but oh so juicy.

i wouldn't stick my d*ck in that cesspool

Union pool....alligator Lounge....is Daddy's next? Hmmm? In any case, I will be there for the rest of the week with a Lakers jersey on. How do you say "How are yooouuu doing" in Korean?

Trickster grifter foiled by hipster tipsters (known to be quipsters).

passing bad checks will get you in jail,

it's much better to rack up credit card bills

She can dribble some balls in her mouth eh?

Who hasn't been offered a blowjob in the Turkey's Nest bathroom?

This is the most fabtabulous story on Gothamist since Hannah Upp disappeared!
