elle florence : Most liked Posts

I think it's been long enough to spill a little tea here. My friend went out with her in March and she was super eager to make out with him on the first date...He then spotted her with another guy the very next day. It was just off putting for him so he never called her back.

Holy crap. At this point she needs to just buy a camper van she can move back and forth between her mother's and Mr Next(es)' driveways.

Do camper vans come in jewel tones?

Elle Florence has moved eleven times in the last five years.

1. Boyfriend Chris’s apartment;
2. Rebound apartment after Chris threw her out, where, for a couple of month, she begged for him to take her back;
3. Permanent apartment after Chris wouldn’t take her back;
4. Shared apartment with Joe;
5. Ginette’s Vancouver rental when Joe surprised her with packed bags and disappeared into the night;
6. Permanent apartment after Joe wouldn’t take her back;
7. Rick’s Florida senior living community ranch condo;
8. Ginette’s Hawaii condo for a couple months after the Engagement imploded;
9. Seattle Airbnb after Rick wouldn’t take her back;
10. Seattle permanent apartment as a response to viewers calling her out for not actually being a Seattle local after she tried to scam Seattlites into thinking she is one suffering from the pandemic economy;
11. New, exciting location to either a) get Ginette off her back for paying for both Elle’s downtown apartment and her Bainbridge condo; or b) trap another man until he finally gives up and proposes to her.

I hope you will keep us in the loop with any new sightings or encounters with your friends!

She actually matched and met two of my friends but one asked me not to mention his date because the experience was so awful...but in both scenarios she has had tantrums and she pushed for a serious relationship really fast and said how it's okay to finish inside her

Ladies I know this is unrelated to Elle (and normally I’d post something related but she’s been pretty quiet) but my boyfriend asked me to marry him and I said yes! We’re exploring a move to Amsterdam earlier next year and I’ve started a remote job for now with a company based there and I’m pretty excited and thought I’d share, since I loved all the non-Elle discussions we’ve had recently.

And now the final chapter of Annotated Elle - Girlboss Breakup re-watching.

Sunday
When last we saw our hero she was marveling about how the dress she was trying on was 'sparkly' and suddenly, the video makes a direct cut to Elle sitting on an ottoman in front of her blue couch. She's got pounds of makeup on, but its making things worse. She looks like she's been through hell; pale and gaunt yet covered in paint. Like Pierrot in a sleeveless white sweater. Not a whole lot of resemblance to the beaming, happy girl who was trying on dresses just a few frames ago. She looks like she's been crying for days. We already know why by the title of this video.

I'm going to take a slightly different format in recapping this section. I am going to roughly transcribe some Elle lines from the speech and offer commentary after each one.

"I think the last time I vlogged was at the CIBC Party on Thursday and I never ended the vlog because my life took a big turn"

Understatement of the century.

"I was expecting to have dinner with Joe and end the vlog and say 'goodbye, thank you for watching' like I usually do for all my vlogs but, um, I had a big shock that Joe decided to leave"

Whoever made the comment that Elle can't read the room is so right. You can see in Elle's face that she never saw any of this coming.

"So I go home and his suitcases were packed and he wanted to end the relationship (pauses a beat, averts eyes) and has ended it. (brief look of relief at having said it)."

A scene worthy of the first ten minutes of a Hallmark Christmas movie.

"What I am deciding to do by filming this is just to sort of rip off the band aid and just be honest with you right away"

She learned her lesson about doing that I suppose. Maybe that's why we got a long, drawn out spell of Unw'Elle at the end of Rick instead of any band aid ripping.

"Today is Sunday, and Joe left on Thursday and has confirmed that he does not want to work on things and does not want to try again or anything like that"

I can only imagine the pleading, bargaining, promises and eventually tantrums which must have sprang forth from Elle in a desperate attempt to stop him from ending the relationship. And I am just talking about while he was standing there with his suitcases. It must have been some show if she pleaded with him over the phone and email even more between Thursday and Sunday. 'Try again' is a really loaded statement. Has Elle has ever acknowledged that she wasn't a good at something and would not repeat her past mistakes if given a 'do over'? Joe knew better. Most people can't change just like that.

"So there's not point in trying to draw this out and such and I feel like being cagey about things would just cause me more stress and anxiety"

Elle was caught in a trap of her own making. She had shared so much of her home life that when everything about it suddenly changed, there was no chance of her going on and pretending nothing was wrong. Her princess façade was completely gone, and yeah, I bet that was a major source of stress and anxiety.

"And, you guys are my friends, and so I'm going to be honest with you however weird or awful that may be."

Unlike when her engagement imploded and Rick was the one to tell all her 'friends'.

"I am still very much in shock. I was not expecting this at all. I did not know that he was unhappy I did not know that he had any thoughts of ending the relationship at all and I think you guys will see that and know that from the footage before this."

This is why she made the entire vlog. She is so unable to read the room that she must figure everyone would watch it and be just as shocked as she was that Joe left her. Meanwhile in almost every recap day posted we saw scenes where Joe was pretty obviously done with her.

"I'm probably going to be in our place for another few weeks. Joe has given notice to the landlords that he is moving out and I have decided that I will not be staying here on my own. It would just be too painful, I think."

I think this is one of those Elle moments where she clings to that bit of truth in her statement. Context suggests the memories of Joe would be too painful. She loves that apartment. She dragged a giant enlarged photo of the view from it to the four different places she has lived since she moved out. Most likely it would be too painful for Elle and Ginette to write that big of a rent check every month. That’s probably the reason she is moving out, but it’s still painful and her statement is true at face value. I think if her mom was willing to take on the whole rent for that place she would have been fine eventually moving some other high-earning man into it with her.

"In the past sometimes breakups have led to a lot of creativity and growth for me. Its hard for me to see this one that way because it was sort of imposed on me rather than chosen by me as something that I wanted."

I don't think we know anything about Elle's breakups prior to Joe. I think Chris kicked her out and she pleaded with him for a while to take her back, so that one doesn't seem like 'something that she wanted' either. Are we really to believe that before Chris, Elle left a long line of brokenhearted men in her wake after dumping them?

"I think I am still going to try and make the best of it and create good content for you guys and grow my businesses and work on myself."

Two out of three ain't bad, right? I will say she started making some pretty awesome content as she circled the drain in the couple years after this breakup. She pushed her side hustles hard to her Karens. Working on herself? Maybe we misunderstood and she meant 'having more work done on myself'.

"Sometimes you only know your own perception and not the other person's"

And sometimes you can be so selfish you don't even see the other people you have positioned in your life to serve you.

"I know you guys will be curious behind his reasons to leave but, ultimately, you don't really know much less than I do. I am to some extent just finding out with you."

Insane statement. Even more insane that it could be true. When random people on the internet know about as much as you do about the feelings of your live-in boyfriend of 18 months, there’s a good chance you're a big part of the problem in that relationship.

"I thought that we were good and happy and yeah we talked about getting more serious rather than less."

I bet Elle talked about 'getting more serious' and Joe didn't say enough to pop her bubble. Also this is Elle. I can't picture her talking about getting serious being about love or feelings, but rather what her ring should look like, where it should come from, and at minimum, what it should cost.

"I really enjoyed the times we vlogged our relationship...it turns out that Joe didn't really enjoy that and it was one of the things he was unhappy about that I didn't know."

I bet Joe gave her a half-dozen good reasons why he was leaving her. Notice the only one she opts to include in her vlog is a relatively minor annoyance, but happens to be one that isn't directly her being selfish, greedy or tone-deaf. I can't imagine someone leaving their live-in partner of a year and a half based on that reason alone. They would ask them to leave them out of the videos and that's that.

"Ultimately it turns out that I can't help it because he didn't really enjoy those things that I did, I just didn't know it."

Read the room.

"I don't think anything’s going to change on his side. He's been pretty (big swallow, looks away) firm . . . about it."

Girlboss is not a fan of firm. Not when it comes to not getting something she wants.

"My mom actually came back into town to help me and be there for me. I kind of have her support in editing this and putting it up."

That’s awesome that someone was there to help her. It's actually pretty considerate of Joe to purposely time the breakup so that her mom would be in town because he knew that's straight where Elle would run. What's not awesome is how unhealthy their codependent relationship must be. You can just imagine her mom helping her edit the footage from the days prior. The Ginette in my head just rubs Elle’s shoulders as she sobs. 'Oh Mon Cheri, look! Joe is so happy you could have never known! This is his fault' Elle still can't read the room.

"Thank you so much for, I guess, being a part of the journey of my life good or bad and this just is what it is right now and I'm going to work on getting it to be the best it can be."

She didn't know it then, but it turns out 'the best it can be' would be dedicating her 30th birthday party to a celebration of country music and barbeque (things I haven’t heard her mention liking since) to please a man she had been dating for a couple of months. A man who would be gone before the end of January. It would be leaving her job, city, really everything about her life behind because another man who she barely knew was willing to marry her in a swampy suburb in Florida. I guess that’s why we all watch. It's certainly not for the ponte pants.

Not like the ring that Rick got at Zales
On sale.
I've touched some awful foul fish, this year.
So let me lock this man down tonight.

Well, I've been lurking (first on GG) for around two years now believe it or not, so I guess now is as good a time as any to say hello!

I was never really a fan of Elle's per se, but I would hate watch some of her videos a few years ago. As someone who likes to support small businesses I thought I would treat myself to some of her earrings since she sure made it sound like she knew what she was doing. They arrived in a bubble envelope in the little velvet pouch she shows off all the time with no box or anything to protect the jewellery (as if a bubble mailer would be sufficient to protect real pearls?) Some of the pearls either detached in transit, or were never properly attached to begin with. I emailed her immediately with pictures asking what we should do about this (giving her the opportunity to do the right thing and expecting her to be appropriately horrified/embarrassed) and she wrote back and said it would be a minor fix if I were to take it to a jeweler. Obviously I responded saying that she should be offering to ship them back at her cost for repair, or offering to cover the cost of the repairs. She played the victim immediately saying that small businesses like her have to protect themselves from customer taking advantage of them which is why she doesn't offer returns. She also claimed this policy was because they were 'handmade' to which I responded there was a difference between 'handmade' and 'custom made'. When I mentioned it doesn't say that on her website that she doesn't accept returns she pointed me to her 'my story' page or whatever nonsense that is. Something rubbed me the wrong way about this so I used the Internet Archive and found out that she had updated the page to include her 'no returns' policy the day I pointed that out! I screen captured this and sent the evidence to my credit card company, with whom I had filed a dispute. Got my money back and still have her partially disassembled earrings. Since then I found GG and spent a LOT of time catching up

Side note, I work in university admissions/administration, but have an MLIS degree--the only time I mention that is to say "I'm a librarian by education" (for example, if someone mentions a particular character trait that might jive with it), I don't claim to BE a librarian!

HOLY FUCK WE CALLED IT. SHE’S PREGNANT AND HAS A “PARTNER”. SHE TRAPPED HIM!!!!!!!!!! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD. It’s a girl, and she’s 12 weeks pregnant. My prayers have been answered. Great job Elle! Following in the steps of her mom. We’re all so proud and happy for the content to come!

“Oops, I thought I was on birth control. It must have been a fluke! Oh well, now we have to move in together and start our family! Oopsieeeeee!”

2022 Elle is pretty amazing to watch as she gets a little more unhinged day by day trying to get that ring, but let's face it, its also pretty depressing. 2022 is pretty depressing. It is what it is.

So, let's go back to sunnier days for a while with an Annotated Elle from way back in the Chris Era. I think she still has this one up on her channel as Anacortes Road Trip Vlog, so you can watch along with me! As with the old Annotated Elle entries, we'll be tracking her estimated spending when she shows off something she says is new. As an added bonus this time around though, We'll have a special counter for the number of times Elle mentions her love of fishing, since, as you guys know, she's been fishing since she was 8. So buckle your Audi seatbelts ladies . . .

Annotated Elle - Anacortes Road Trip Vlog!

Elle and Chris are headed to Washington State to do a little outlet shopping. Elle gives us some background on the destination, with a bare wall behind her. Production values are low, the camera mic isn't very good, and the lighting is just what’s coming from an offscreen window.

Elle looks ok here. She's in this weird middle stage between her old q-tip licking face and the monied city girl face she'd later have in the Joe era. She's not going to be able to coast on her looks alone, but I don't think that had emerged as her big plan in life yet anyway. The pageant hair is in its infancy, but it's too long at this point and all the drama in it sits too low on her body to really work.

She notes that it is early spring. I think this is early in her relationship with Chris. Her mom's dog is a very young puppy but Elle also has her cat there. I am not sure if she's still living at home, but there’s an apartment kitchen at the end of the video that may be hers. Someone who knows her timeline better than I do would be able to set me straight. This is from before I discovered her.

She's rocking a very busy Missoni scarf that Mama G bought her in Hawaii ($300). Mama G is filming the intro and Elle gets a little annoyed with her when she misses a beat after Elle asks her to say where she bought the scarf (Nieman Marcus, if you're curious). It's just such a weird moment between the two of them as Elle says 'Hellooooo' because her mother isn't quick enough to cough up the name of the store she patronized to spoil Elle. Anyone know a good synonym for 'ungrateful bitch?' Elle says she loves the scarf because it is a chevron pattern and she is 'obsessed with chevron'. Has she ever done a chevron Nouvelle scarf? The wholesaler must not have that as an option on their website . . .

She tells us her Kit and Ace T shirt is new; they're expensive but worth it, and she bought 2 of them ($116). Elle makes sure to tell us that she has a hair elastic around her wrist because Chris has a convertible. On goes her new leather jacket ($300), and we're ready to go.

Flash forward to Chris and Elle stopping for lunch. They made the border crossing without too much trouble. The lunch place looks fairly casual and is right on the water. Chowder and Philly cheesesteak melts, and by the time lunch is done, it's warm enough to put the top down on the Audi.

We arrive at main destination; the outlet shops. Elle says the trip was Chris' idea because he's all about the Cole Haan outlet. Elle does a quick dressing room vid where she confesses her addiction to knitwear, but we don't know if she bought anything she was trying on.

Shopping done, the two lovebirds check in to their bed and breakfast in Anacortes. Elle can't resist including one more shot of Chris' TT down in the driveway. No wonder her coworkers put a pic of it on her birthday cake. They probably were confused and thought she was actually dating the car. The room has a random acoustic guitar in it, but Elle doesn't comment on it. That’s right, it would be a couple boyfriends later that she would suddenly love playing country music on an acoustic guitar... I wonder what storage locker her guitar is rotting in today.

Elle barks some orders at Chris because she thinks he's not filming her outfit of the evening video correctly. The sun sets over the water as Elle gets a quick shot from a rooftop bar. Chris isn't there, and she makes sure we know he's off paying their tab. Its a minor thing, but this is Elle, so you know its a microbrag that he's footing the bills.

The next morning they drop back into town for coffee. They get two whole coffees! How decadent! Chris ain't no Rick, that’s for sure. They're having coffee together, but Elle's on her Kindle. Probably what she has to do when Chris is sick and tired of listening to her and asks for some peace...

On the way home, we hit Trader Joe's and Elle does a grocery haul. Not going to add that to her spending total because it's just normal groceries and we all gotta eat. In classic Elle editing style, she is still talking when it suddenly cuts to the credits of the cartoon cat running through a courtroom and spacious executive office. That outro makes me laugh every time.


Total spent for the Vlog: $716
Number of times Elle mentioned her love of fishing: 0

I’m coming to this a bit late so I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this but she’s pissed me off again because now she’s brought my lord and savior, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, into this mess. She’s all “what you may not know.....is that she actually wasn’t a litigator, she was a law professor until she was 37.” Please tell me more about your education of RBG and how you know more about her than Americans do. Elle, she actually WAS a litigator WHILE she was a professor at Rutgers because she briefed and argued with the ACLU 6 cases before the Supreme Court of the United States, 5 of which she won. So honestly, you can shut the fuck up about legends you don’t know anything about. And for God’s sake, you can keep RBG’s name out of your goddamn mouth. Sorry for the rant, ladies. RBG’s work is too important a legacy to be tainted by this train wreck.

I’ve calmed down a bit. My overall thoughts on the video are disgust at how transparent she’s being. She knows she hasn’t been living up to the image she initially sold her channel on. She knows she’s out of work. She probably has realized she can’t just wake up and be a lawyer in a different country without serious obligations beforehand. She’s trying to set the stage now for her pivot. She’s trying to romanticize this whole thing so it’s not embarrassing when she breaks the news later that she’s giving up her law career or focusing on jewelry full time (good luck) or opening a bakery or whatever the fuck else she can possibly pivot to. It’s gross to me. If she just came out and said “I’ve done this and this and this in life and I’m in a place now where I need or want to pivot,” that’s a DIFFERENT STORY, but she’s trying to romanticize this shit as if she’s still such a girlboss and this is all part of her plan, and it’s just gross to me how transparent she is.

Yeah I think y’all are dead on that something happened and I don’t think it’s studying for the bar. Although...didn’t she say she didn’t need to take the bar in a live chat? To show she’s studying for it, she’d have to admit that she was wrong and we all know she can’t do that. So maybe she is studying and trapped herself. Yet again, another glowing example of how she traps herself into unfortunate situations through her lies.

Maybe she thinks that if she’s quiet for a while, we’ll lose interest and stop gossiping. I’m not going to let that happen as I was a fan and was betrayed by her.

I really believed that she had it all....successful career and work-life balance when I was trying to establish my career. Somehow she managed to get her lawyer work done, do a fashion shoot before work, take long lunch breaks, go home early, attend the gym, and cook dinner from scratch, take a bath, make and edit youtube videos, and take way more than the average number of vacations days. It made me feel inadequate when I worked long hours, worked through my lunches, sacrificed evenings and weekends. What was I doing wrong? Elle is an major A-Hole for all the lies. There are working women looking for other women mentors on youtube and she’s been lying. It made me really mad when she started grifting as a designer and started selling pearls and scarves. I’ve never mentioned in the threads before that I have a background and qualifications in fashion and fine jewelry before settling on my current career choice. I didn’t want to give Elle ideas to elevate the scamming to a higher level. Jewelry making and clothes designing are serious professions for which real designers have great skill, talent, and dedication.

Ironically some of the very best comments, gossiping, and thread titles has happened recently while she’s been quiet. And the internet never forgets. I’m happy that we are keeping the gossip alive.

I'm would wager she pushed him to make it happen, but if Elle had any creative control over that engagement, the ring would have been a LOT different.

I agree with you, but I think she may have sabotaged her chances at getting the diamond of her dreams - the one shown on the finger below:
View attachment 388796

Elle: “You know, I’m NOT like other girls. I’m the type of girl who wants a UNIQUE engagement ring, not one of those ubiquitous princess-cut 2 ct diamond rings you see everywhere.”

Rick: *Files this information away into his simple, idiotic, granola mind.*

Elle: Brings up marriage whenever possible. “I really hate living across the continent from you and not getting to fall asleep in your arms every night. But I really don’t think we should move in together unless we’re really committed, you knowwwww?”

“Won’t it be so nice when we’re living together and you can come home to a home-cooked meal thoughtfully prepared by me every night? But that seems so far in the distant future unless we really get serious about moving in together and on to the next step.”

“It’s been so great traveling with you to all these exotic places (NOLA) and falling asleep in your arms every night. I can’t wait for this to be permanent. I really think we were meant to be, don’t you?”

“Wreck (I recently watched her #GIRLBOSS VANCOUVER VISIT VLOG from Sept 9, 2019 and this is how she pronounces “Rick”), I need to seriously think about if I’m going to renew the lease at my Vancouver apartment soon. It just doesn’t make sense to be paying for two separate places if we’re going to be getting more serious, don’t you agree? But I’ve also had some negative experiences with moving in with guys who weren’t serious and ended up breaking my heart and leaving me unprotected. I’m more cautious now, so I can’t move forward without an indication from you that we’re serious.”

Rick: *She will give me sex and cook for me every night if we live together.*

*She will not move in with me unless I propose. Okey dokey.*

*She is out of my league yet still wants me.*

*She wants non-traditional ring. Can’t afford Royal Engagement Ring. Will buy colored gemstone ring. Lucky me, can spend fraction of price of traditional princess ring. This yellow color is not traditional. I win big prize.*

Cut to the photoshopped engagement on hill.
Elle moves in with her fiancé, the LOVE OF HER LIFE, and gets everything she’s ever wanted. Until he switches on the one bare lightbulb and the Abraham Lincoln portrait is staring down her low-cut shirt in the dining room, while Rick bobs his head maniacally from the living room dad recliner some neighbor put on the curb and he dragged home, while loudly mansplaining Jeopardy Questions to her.

I still think Elle suddenly saw Rick for the creepy perv he actually is, and realized she can do much better (In HER mind. I personally think they’re a match made in heaven).
Rick is just as insufferable, smelly, superior, and as big an imposter (he and she call him an Attorney and Law Professor...) as she is, and he defended all the victimy shit she claimed she suffered in her lifetime, and he called her gracious and brave in his Guru Gossiper infiltration. He saw absolutely nothing wrong with her behavior or lies. Plus she spread her legs for him and made him a mac and cheese that evoked in him a Lebanese philosopher’s ethos.

This reminds me of when it was “HAPPY EASTER from my family to yours ” as she introduced all her Instagram followers to her fiancé, Rick the Perverted Elderly Moose Molester. Easter 2019 occurred on Apr 21, 2019, and Special Someone 2018 had dumped her in January 2019 right after her return from Hawaii. So it only took her MAX 3.5 months to find someone to invite to Hawaii and refer to as her “family”.

In fact, from my research, it looks like he first initiated contact when she was in Hawaii in 2018, right after her tearful airport departure brought on from missing Special Someone since he dropped her off 12 minutes prior (as we would all find out in a couple short weeks, the feelings were NOT mutual) on Dec 18, 2018, by liking a pic for the first time:


He then throws her some more attention a couple days later, but since she’s presumably still with SS (unless he dumped her over the phone while she was in Hawaii - if that were the case, MAN does she know how to pick ‘em), she doesn’t respond:





This was the week of Jan 11, 2019. He references the Henley Royal Regatta, which is an event that takes place in England over the summer. Maybe they went to it with their 2008 OSU - Oxford summer course class, and he’s trying to recall this memory? Shuddering, because in the summer of 2008, she was 19 yo, and according to public records, he was 30. Can you recall back to when you were 19, how young, naive, and impressionable you were? I just turned 30 this past year, and the thought of pursuing a 19 yo girl, while legal, is just so disgusting to me now. SHE WAS A TEENAGER.



By Jan 7, 2018, she’s presumably been dumped by Special Someone and Rick now has solid footing, as he starts liking every single pic from that moment on. Doesn’t take Elle long to move from one Le-cock to the next, does it? It couldn’t have been more than a handful of days after getting dumped that she switches her “family” loyalties from SS to Rick.



He likes every single one of her posts from then until the last one on Dec 15, 2019 right before they ended their “civil union to be” or whatever she prances around pandemic-stricken Seattle telling dozens of men she just met as she desperately sucks their Lecocks, milking them for the tiniest bit of attention.

These Lecocq ladies are so desperate for male companionship. A creepy, perverted 41 yo single divorcee bobblehead with beady coals for eyes likes her Insta pics and makes her feel a wee bit special, and less than a week after the Love of Lecocq’s Life, Winter 2018 Edition dumps her, she’ll welcome his attention with open arms. And in about three months, he’ll be invited to her mother’s apartment in Hawaii and declared a member of their family. How desperate and pathetic can you get?

That’s the tough thing about dating in your 30s. I never believed that being 30+ was hindrance in dating, but at that point, people expect so much more and your pool of available candidates does shrink unless you widen your age range significantly.

Elle dated Chris in her mid 20s. She was fresh out of a masters program, was living alone for the first time, and getting into lower end designer goods. I doubt Chris or any man would expect much more than that from a young 20 something who just got their first job. People are also way more forgiving of personality or character defects at that age.

She started seeing Joe in her late 20s shortly after all her plastic surgeries and that’s still a very exploratory period for most people. A lot of people have had a handful of relationships by then, are a little wiser in life but still make a lot of mistakes, and the people who have figured themselves out and are actively working towards their goals in life are ahead of the game. Elle is still in an entry level position at the only job she’s ever had but that’s also not unheard of. She’s starting to spend a fortune regularly though, and that probably makes Joe and potential victims wary.

Cue to now. She is in her 30s and has been for a couple of years. A lot of people her age have made real breakthroughs in their careers or figured out their purpose and passion in life. Others have gotten married and are now focused on raising their babies. Some people are living the dream and traveling the world (pre Covid), doing super interesting things that bring them a strong sense of fulfilment. At this age, a lot of people have purchased their first house, made worthy investments, and generally lead a stable life in a well loved location surrounded by friends and maybe even family. Elle is surrounded by a ton of clutter that she deems luxurious and heirloom pieces.

And what is Eleanor Lecocq up to these days? She gave up her entry level job, which was the only job she ever had, to chase a divorced, 40-something fake professor who lives in a swamp and clearly doesn’t live the kind of life she desires. But he proposed unlike all her exes and I guess that was enough. But he quickly leaves her as well, and she moves to a strange city because she heard there are wealthy and socially awkward nerds there who might be interested in locking her down. She dates up a storm, violates lockdowns, and asks strange men to do disgusting things in order to hold onto them. She still doesn’t have any career development or even a proper job, and the majority of her income comes from scamming viewers who don’t know better. Her mother seems to help with the vast majority of her expenses. She goes from one rental apartment to an Airbnb to another rental and rinse and repeat. She is as vapid as ever, but more desperate, aggressive, and pretentious if that was even possible.

In short, she hasn’t changed for the better at all since her 20s and has only gotten more delusional and crazy. Her maintenance and upkeep is also much higher now given that she’s aging. She’s still spending a fortune on useless things on a regular basis. Women in their 30s don’t have trouble meeting quality men if they have their shit together but what does Eleanor have to offer? She’s worse off than she was after graduation.

Guess what ladies, I found out that one of my friends ALSO MATCHED with our Smelleanore on a dating app He didn't mention anything about sex (I don't think they even advanced to this stage ). Elle apparently told him about the gossip sites on internet and how her haters are so jealous of her achievements, success and wealth etc He did mention that she was looking for "SERIOUS" relationship and was ready to "settle." Our delusional 32 y.o. is desperately looking for her new Mr. Next for sure!

Oh are you? Care for a practice test question?

Chris, Joe, Special Someone, Rick, and Mr Next are all going to Elle's Bistro for brunch. Please list their seating arrangements in counterclockwise order starting from the head of the mid-century modern table with the following conditions observed:

Rick cannot be seated next to Joe because Elle is still wearing the tennis bracelet
Chris cannot be seated next to Rick because Rick will start talking in Chris' accent
Special Someone cannot be seated at the head of the table because the country music will not be audible in that position
Mr Next must be next to Joe so that he can gain sympathy for Elle
Net worth of guests must not increase or decrease in a linear fashion following a clockwise order

Since Elle has been pretty boring recently I thought I'd share something with you ladies. I'm one of those fools who purchased Elle's pearls when she first launched it. I discovered Elle and her channel when I was a recent grad who just started at her dream job and looking for outfit inspirations. For the first time not being a broke university student and having a bit more money to spend, I decided to buy Elle's pearls thinking it'd be a good investment for my new professional wardrobe. OMG I feel so stupid just typing these words. Anyways. The pearls came and I was stunned by the low quality. As you can see in the first picture, they are all irregular shaped, have visible blemish, and some not even the same colour. There are also these cheap plastic beads that seperate the pearls, and much of the paint on those beads had rubbed off. The picture doesn't do justice to how cheap they look in real life. The third picture is a comparison between her garbage (right) to another pearl necklace of mine (left) which is by no mean expensive nor luxury, and yet they look so much better than hers to my untrained eyes (at least they are all round). The difference is even more apparent in person. Knowing that I spent over $100 on this makes me want to kick myself. I have no problem with her choice of cheap pearls (some of you suspect it's from Alibaba. I just like to add that China now produces many high quality pearls, she's just not using those), but adding a 1000% markup and marketing it as some sort of fine jewelry than can be passed down to your children is a straight up scam.

By the way, I also purchased her stud pearl earrings. The stud fell off on the second wear and I just threw them in the garbage and never bothered. I unfollowed her pretty soon after, but kept this necklace as a valuable lesson to invest in my retirement fund rather than her "investment pieces".
