It turns out that Chinh Nguyen, the foul-mouthed, AmEx-flashing, self-described "balla" girlfriend of Nvidia vice president Neil Trevett, isn't just an indiscreet blogger; she's also an elite Yelptard. Yelp users like to celebrate their hundredth-review milestones, and for Nguyen's 300th, she chose to write up Valleywag. We are honored beyond words; before this, we were utterly Yelpless. Chinh, we at Valleywag really like your style. If the job interview you mentioned in our phone call doesn't work out, would you consider blogging? We have an opening for a reporter, and I think you'd fit right in here. Nguyen's Yelp review of Valleywag, "a National Enquirer for geeks":

Nvidia VP's gold-digging girlfriend calls him "Piggy"

Girls, are you having problems finding a successful boyfriend who works in tech? Maybe you should be meaner. That's how graphic designer Chinh Nguyen plays it with her man, Nvidia VP Neil Trevett. Describing one picture of Trevett, she writes, "My English Piggy (yes, he's really pink!)" Before you take offense on his behalf, note how self-deprecating Chinh is.

She writes that Trevett sent her a platinum American Express card to cover expenses on a trip to Vietnam. But she captioned a photo of herself holding the card, "Guess who loves this douchebag?" Before, maybe it was just Piggy, Chinh. But even though we're not sure quite what's going on here, you can count us as fans, too.
