Is she real?

Update: The blog seems to slide from interesting to stupid pretty quickly. Unless you enjoy my embarrassment, don't read further.

Is AK Hoffmeistrova real?

If you really need to ask that question after reading her blog (and the old one), you should probably wake up.
If you don't want to waste the time or you don't read Czech, here is the long short version.

By her own account:


    She is about 28 years old
    She worked as a director of some part of an international corporation in Prague
    She now works in Germany on presumably even higher position ("an offer I could not refuse")
    She makes nice moneys in intra day trading on various stock markets
    She is a cruel, arrogant, evil boss who yells at her subordinates and works just because she likes to
    She wants to marry and move to countryside and live there happily thereafter.
    She own a Glock (and couple of other guns) and goes frequently to the shooting range
    She likes fast cars and owns couple of them
    She has a cat she likes very much
    She gives to the homeless people and charities
    She considers herself a tough bitch on the outside, yet gentle, fragile, caring person inside
    She hates politicians and thinks they all should be killed
    She claims to be heterosexual and occasionally describes her lesbian experiences
    She likes to watch porn
    She has sex in work, and often with anybody (and anything) who is close when she feels like to.
    She likes BDSM, but "not much"
    She has (by her own word): "firm breast of size 2 (B) and she is happy about them"
    She shaves not just her legs and armpits
    She uses language that would make even marines blush
    She drinks a looooot and downs pain pills with vodka or Metaxa, often in work
    She smokes weed and hashish
    She is a racist and she is happy about it.
    She has political/policy opinions that tell you she has a brain
    She likes to walk in the park
    She likes to fix her (father's) old country house
    She reads a lot - high level literature as well as Grisham's Firm
    She presumably does a lot of cultural things (at least she links to many events).
    If you think that's not conclusive, this beats everything: She likes (or liked) Vaclav Klaus as president (I know this contradicts the previous point, so read more).


If you wonder why would you read a blog from a person like that, here is what I did.
First, you read 10 posts. You think "WTF?". Than you read some more, get use to the language,sex, alcohol, drugs, abuse of power for fun and notice that if she says something specific about a particular policy, it does make sense. It makes sense so much that I have never read anything that would fit my opinions that closely (still talking about policy/politics). That made me interested - who is this person? In particular, it is the first Czech blog in which the author actually has any idea about economics, policy decisions etc.
However, if you keep reading on (I read the most of her blog in about 24 hours, and she posts a lot), you realize how boring it actually gets.

Often, she claims something is stupid, somebody is idiot etc. without giving any reason. Racism and VK surprise you after some time. The raw language gets boring (what do you need to prove yourself? Are you 18?) The sex is hard to believe. Making so much money on intra-day trading is unlikely. And really, 28 and rich, high level manager with a souls and picture of 22 years old chick? Whom are you kidding?

So after all, I'm quite certain that that blog is design to be appealing to men (sex, drugs, cars, guns, money, power,...) It seems possible that it might be an author (beginning to get some more attention to publish it like "Ostravak", or existing but experimenting) trying to make a buck. Also, it might be a sociologist doing an experiment. Or something else. But it seems quite unlikely that it is a real person, despite obvious amount of effort to show otherwise.

It would interesting to meet her if she existed, but I'm not going to wait for it. Occasionally, reading her blog is interesting, though.

Hi, I have just found your blogpost searching the web on "ak hoffmeistrova" asking the very same question as you did (and in exactly the same doubt as you are). Did you make any progress in your reserach?

No, I did not. I actually do not follow her blog anymore. It became quite boring over time.
