Plus a bonus $1000 if the relationship leads to marriage. Which it probably won’t, because, well, read ahead…

It features this bro, who goes by the name Romeo Rose.

I am willing to pay anyone $1,500 as a finders fee for anyone that can help find me a girlfriend. (I will give you a extra $1,000 as a bonus if this turns into marriage, I offer this extra bonus as I hope it will motivate you to find me a woman of great quality)

I have been in Austin over 3 years now and have not been successful at finding a girl that wants a long term relationship in all this time, so I would like to enlist the readers here in my search, and I will pay anyone $1,500 if you can actually make this happen.

I am 39 years old, (date of birth is 9-18-1974 so that makes me a Virgo) 6′,4″ and 195lbs. I live in South Austin. I am looking for a girl that has a thin or athletic build. No one over 130lbs. Ages 21 – 41 White, Hispanic, or of European descent.

Serious inquires only

Please make sure you click on the link to the FAQ in the above menu as I am sure it will explain a lot to you and answer many questions you may have about how this works and how you will get paid.

Romeo's ploy has been so "popular" that his site keeps crashing.

The secret is out. That mysterious Abrams trailer was for a book , which he conceived and then commissioned from novelist Doug Dorst.

The book is actually two (or more) books in one: Ship of Theseus, purportedly written by (fictional) author V.M. Straka, and another story that plays out in handwritten margin notes and ephemera stuffed into that book's pages.

Four drawings from her sketchbook are featured in the latest Rookie yearbook . BuzzFeed has the first look at them online, and they are awesome.

Claire Boucher, aka Grimes, is as enchanting on paper as she is on record. Her music might already be your favorite, but are you familiar with her creepy/beautiful drawings?

Claire Boucher, aka Grimes, is as enchanting on paper as she is on record. Her music might already be your favorite, but are you familiar with her creepy/beautiful drawings?

You can see lots on her online portfolio, but these selections are from her sketchbook — work she never necessarily thought anyone would see, until Tavi asked.

Drawn & Quarterly / Rookie

Tavi is Tavi Gevinson, the now 17-year-old founder of Rookie, which has recently published its second anthology. Grimes is 25, but she's not the only adult who's impressed by Gevinson and Rookie.

Petra Collins

We asked Tavi about how Rookie came to get an inside look at Grimes sketchbooks, and she explained that Claire was already a big fan of Rookie.

"Claire had expressed her love of Rookie so I messaged her on twitter and asked if she had any artwork we could publish since I knew she also illustrates and does her album art and is just all around crazy talented. She's done exhibitions and stuff but I thought it would be fun to show pages from her sketchbook, maybe stuff she didn't first make with an audience in mind. She sent me a bunch of scans and was so enthusiastic and supportive! She's just the coolest and I'm thrilled we could share her casually stunning sketchbook pages."

Mindy Kaling, Lena Dunham, and Judy Blume are just a few of the cool adults who've worked with Rookie for this latest anthology. It's not really a surprise - seeing teenage girls express themselves so openly, creatively, and intelligently makes one feel pretty optimistic about the future.

But about Grimes' drawings: they're equal parts goth and adorable, combining bows and hearts with black depths and eyeballs.
