Open Post: Hosted By Elizabeth Smart's People Magazine Cover

Here's kidnapping victim turned America's sweetheart Elizabeth Smart on the day she married her piece of a year Matthew Gilmour in Hawaii. Elizabeth Smart already got a free shade pass (good for one year) from me when she created an ice cold shield over her face that deflected Nancy Grace's concern troll bitchiness. Elizabeth Smart gets another free shade pass (good for one year) from me for this cover of People, because it's obvious that her wedding photographer was Glamour Shots! The only thing keeping this cover from being everything is a faux roman column in the back and a hot pink boa. I really hope People printed this issue on pearlized paper. It's the only way.

wtf? why does this girl merit a cover of People? was it a slow news week? Is her father pimping her out now?? (he was a creepy mofo when she was kidnapped, and he's still creepy.)
I just don't get it. She's lived a fairly private life. Why her, why now?? And more importantly, WHO CARES??

I'm late to this party, but I find the public fixation on this poor girl creepy as hell. I remember when she was one of People's Most Beautiful. Fixating on her good looks struck me as so bizarre given that some LUNATIC was obsessed with her, kidnapped her, and raped her! Ugh.

@M.E.

This is kind of a morbid thought, but do you think OB might have planted the Tramadol in your coin purse? Would she have the opportunity to do so, say if you left the purse unattended at work? She sounds like she is bat shit crazy enough to do so to try to get you into some sort of trouble with your employer. I would document this, and everything else, just in case.

Hi everyone! I've only been lurking lately but have been following ME's dilemma and wanted to ask: ME - this may have been noted before (and if it has, then just disregard) but do you think that your coworker is jealous that your boss reworked your schedule? I remember you discussing the fact that you were going to ask your boss about shifting your schedule and they accommodated your request. I'm a supervisor in an office full of women and can't believe the petty junior high crap that comes up at times. I've had employees ask to meet with me to vent about a situation they misconstrued (to the point of paranoia, no kidding) as being either favoritism to another employee, or persecution to them. I swear I've sat there thinking "Do we work in the same office because I have NO CLUE what you're talking about" - but it's very, very personal and real to them. Do you think this could be the case?
************************************************

I have no idea since she's got the most lax schedule of all and only works 32 hours a week (4 days). Up until the last two weeks a normal day of work for her would be to come in around 8:30-8:45am, leave for lunch about 11:45, come back from lunch around 1:30 and leave again by 4:00-4:15. Off hours start at 8am - noon, 1-4:30p. Lunch is supposed to be a half an hour, but we keep the phones off for an hour so we can get some shit done.

OMG, such disrespectful comments. Elizabeth was taken from her bed in the middle of the night, chained to a tree above her home where she could hear searchers looking for her, raped daily by a "religious" nutcase who took her as his "second wife." I'm surprised she didn't get pregnant.

I think the whole world wishes her a happy and productive marriage. I sure do.

We all carry our demons. I think it's unrealistic to think that after the 8 or 9 years it's been that Elizabeth Smart hasn't dealt with hers to at least the extent that she is moving on with her life.

She probably promised pictures to People in exchange for them keeping the hell away from the actual wedding. If she picked up some cash for it, good for her. She didn't ask to be a teenaged rape & kindap victim.

Here's some advice: NEVER watch a TV show and look at everyone's eyebrows. You will soon be so obsessed with the different shapes and densities, you'll have no idea WTH you're even watching. I just watched an entire episode of Law & Order on DVD and have no frigging clue what it was about.

I hope her dream wedding erases the nightmare she had to go through.

Nothing will ever truly erase or eradicate the memories. It's going to take a really strong, stable man to be able to understand her when she goes into post traumatic episodes on occasion. I didn't go through anything nearly as bad as she did and I still have PTSD that comes on sometimes because of a specific event that dredges up a memory or sometimes completely out of the blue. One day at a time is all you can do.

Too late for that. Mr. Bum and I could be watching something very serious and I will just impulsively yell out "Eyebrow situation!" like a 5 year old on their first day of kindergarten

Why are so many people saying that she recovered so fast? For as much as she may never fully recover, this did happen quite a few years ago. How many years should pass before it's appropriate for her to move on with her life?

If Jaycee Dugard were to get married tomorrow- I bet we'd all feel she deserved the happiness after years of being held captive. Why is this any different? Because she's young? Unless we've walked in those shoes -- why are we questioning her choice? Maybe this is healing for her.

I hope her dream wedding erases the nightmare she had to go through.

I am starting to abhor my co workers. I am constantly getting beat up by our own functional areas that we liasion with. I ask a co worker to take on this duty as this point, since I am working from home, and she states she "doesnt want to make (insert bitch co worker's name here) her mad". What the hell? Is this a frickin playground or something? Bitch is like 50+. Shiiatt...

Bizzarelife's picture

I have to agree with one of the posters here. She is a little young to get married. Her story of kidnapping was such a terrible one - she was amazingly strong. I am just curious as to how she could very well recover this fast. I realize this type of thing is always a process, one never "gets over it". Still, I hope she is doing OK. She seems like such an amazing young lady.

@GG:

HA HA HA HA HA! I do that to my boyfriend all the time. Never works, however. His drive is a bit slow. Kind of annoying! So, whenever we finally do get around to "it", I always forget I am angry. So, I find another way to irritate him.

I knew my theory about Elizabeth Smart would piss someone off. Listen, that Ed Smart is a creeper. He gave me worse willies than that bearded freak.

The feeling I get about her story reminds me so much of the novel "Lolita". The kookachoo kidnapper = Clare Quilty. I think she was out of the frying pan into the fire.

There is something more complicated and dark than the story we've been told.

Really? Is no one off limits? Out of tragedy comes some happiness ... do we really have to nitpick her hair and dress?

And why on earth would anyone speculate about her "unhappy" home life? Yeah - I'd be pretty fuckin' unhappy if I was kidnapped and raped repeatedly for a year ( as a CHILD). Some of you really have NO shame. Sad. Turning it into "home life issues" as her reason for marrying. I'm sure no amount of therapy will ever make her feel whole again ... but maybe this guy comes close.

Ahahahahaha Dog, my friend just posted pictures of our group together at a wedding and all I see are my atrocious eyebrows! I swear, I meant to get them done before the big event, but just didn't have time and had hoped that filling them in with a matching shadow would camouflage the "situation" (as MK would call it). I WAS SO WRONG!! Luckily I work 2nd shift tomorrow, so I'll be at the mall as soon as it opens for a professional shaping.

M.E. found prescription pills in her change purse that don't belong to her.
The pills were not there this past weekend.
She has no idea how they got there.
She thinks her co-worker may have planted them.
She is on probation.
She gets caught with drugs that are not prescribed to her, she goes to jail.
She flushed the pills.
I told her to wait and ask you what to do.

Which explains why Katy Perry just scored a #1 debut with "Part Of Me," the song she performed at the Grammys. The last one to do this - Lady GaGa with "Born This Way." Though I'm not sure that "mindless meat" was the motivation with the latter.
