God, if only my biggest work worry was a wasp which chased me round a five star hotel that I was paid to film in.

Watched her latest vlog and there’s something so sad, very about this woman.
She’s painfully insecure, lost and uncomfortable in her skin. But rather than use the much needed time alone to sit and do inner work — she manically spins around on camera talking a mile a minute about health while having no real idea what she’s talking about and contradicting the words coming out of her mouth with the ingredients she’s piling into bowls.
As a human being — it made me sad watching this other human being try to fill a day alone, running away from whatever deep—seeded negative thoughts are in her mind and filming it all.
She tries and wants so HARD to be something… that I can’t quite put my finger on… but never reaches it.
Obviously she needs severe therapy but like an addict… won’t till she hits rock bottom or has some other kind of wake-up call. But it’ll be hard to reach that point because she cuts off ANY one who tries to point ANYthing out to her that she labels immediately as “hate” and finds it so very hard to relax, settle into her skin and examine who she is.
I sincerely hope for her wellbeing that she finds her way but as she is — she’s going to continue that cycle of highs then crashing lows she even acknowledged.
And insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, right? Well that’s her. Spinning on a hamster wheel like a fragile, insecure and lost human.

This might be her attempt at branded content—basically incorporating her Fendi job (hence all the photos being Fendi) with other content that’s meant to deliver value to the reader. In my work, when a brand comes to us with a product they want to promote, we come up with the creative to pitch to them. It might be something like ‘five ways to style a bright coloured bag’ or an article about personalising/customising a luxury investment piece. Unfortunately, she’s not creative enough to come up with a concept that doesn’t involve advertising the brand’s direct competitors.I read an article on WWD I believe that their sales haven‘t been hurt and they’ve had a surge of customers when the boutiques reopened.
I love Hermès.
I’ve always thought the clash between her photos and copy subject on the blog has been ridiculous but this takes things to new heights.
She can’t see beyond her vanity to realize that this is an insulting way to market Bottega Veneta and Dior. Kudos Bulgari on hiring an ambassador who promotes you besides photos of her with a Fendi bag. Well done!
That‘s you get for hiring a Narcissistic influencer - someone whose first love is herself before anything else.
I’m honestly so confused by some of her posts, mostly because I have NO IDEA whether they’re sponsored or not. If this post wasn’t sponsored by Fendi, then it doesn’t make sense that she doesn’t show photos of the other bags mentioned. If it is sponsored by Fendi, then why is she mentioning these other brands?!
Hey Vic, I wrote a thesis too. About branded content, actually. Best practice suggests you be as transparent as possible to maximise the benefits of branded content. Otherwise your own deception will work against you and undermine credibility and trust in all future you do. People have been advertised to all their lives and we’re not stupid; we know what ads look like, and we’d respect you more if you didn’t treat us like idiots. If you insist on treating us like fools, then I must insist you at least follow the law.

I don’t get the rant about people taking her photos when she is in a public place holding her own photo shoot. Yes you might find it annoying but you’re in a public space! If it bothered you so much find somewhere less public - but of course she likes the attention it brings and wants everyone to look and gush over her but not take a pic.
Secondly what do all the people in the background of her videos think about being plastered all over the internet without permission? That ok? I’d hate to be out, maybe having a sad day no make up and to be seen in some influencer video. So self centered.
Lastly, you’re worried what the pervy man might do with the pic he’s taken of you in public- what exactly do you think he will do? You have no issues baring all in sexy underwear, nipples showing and half naked on the internet so what exactly is it that is so concerning that people have taken a photo of you fully clothed in a public space?!

In a nutshell, they were planning on turning it into a rental property. The plan was to rent it to anyone who was looking for high-end studio space for video shoots. She even splurged on some pricey design details she thought would appeal to prospective clients.Can someone please kindly share a rundown on the loft business scandal?
I’ve admittedly not watched or paid attention to her loft but if she’s privatizing videos and editing verbiage… suddenly I’m interested
Thanks is advance
The only problem? The building developer and their contract with the purchaser forbid such rental activity. The unit has to be owner occupied. They either didn’t read the contract, or she felt they could work around it, because she’s, well, a famous and fabulous influencer. Apparently . . . not famous enough!
---
Forgot to add that she was also planning on having her assistant’s office in the loft. Apparently, the developer got wind of all her true intentions for the loft.

She may have a ‘phd’, a second home and a brother/husband, but she didn’t have a Chanel ticket

Of course she does, because nothing says a total lack of awareness of other people like buying a third property a five hour drive from you in a county which is famous for having issues with people buying Airbnbs and second homes there which drive up costs and reduce housing availability for people who actually live and work there.I watched it she wants a Burgundy Birkin and a house in Cornwell. The gym looks cramped now with that reformers bench in it.

Yes Bryony and Sarah!

Free or heavily discounted/used a voucher. I only skimmed through the video but noticed she said on more than one occasion “I’m not sure who I’ll give this too yet”. So she puts no thought or care into what she wants to give each individual person they just get her freebies

Just watched her latest vlog and here’s a 
“Just want to preface it now if you do email about anything, you’ll get the customer service team. It’s nothing to do with me on that side.”
umm…ok…the fuck? Distancing herself from her brand’s customer online experience ALREADY? It’s HER business. Does she not plan on being a hands on fOuNdEr?! omg this bitch.

I've finally clocked that he reminds me of Simon Pegg. I'm not sure why I've never made the connection before. I knew he had a familiar look but something about this photo was the thing that made the connection.

I posted it already some days ago in another thread (I think Josie's??). In my eyes, Influencers are predators.Dunno if anyone else is watching the Facebook/Instagram whistleblower congressional hearing today — but it bears the question of responsibility.
wonder how responsible vicky finds her content to be?All these ads she shares are widely available to young, impressionable users. Users who in study after study report that Instagram damages mental health and promotes irresponsible spending and other harmful behaviors. Not to mention all the cookies her affiliate links deposit on their devices, tracking their actions and further lining Vicky’s pockets.
They don't care if gaslight their fans into buying shit no one needs, not matter if that fan can afford the over-consumption or not. In an ideal world, every consumer would make a well-thought-out decision. But if we would live in an ideal world, those leeches would have no job or at least not earn what they earn. They are not our friends, but they do like they are. Preying on the vulnerable, shopping addicted.
They are building their career onto those vulnerable consumers, let that sink in. But they think they provide some elevated artistry or whatever. All the lies they tell, about products (if they like it, if they paid it, etc), aff links (oh, I only earn a teeny-tiny commission, it won't affect you - forgetting to mention the cookies, etc), and then having the fucking nerve to blame their followers or the FREE platform they are using, when their "engagement" is getting less.

My mother's instagram, which has 400 followers where she posts random pictures of swans and flowers is getting more likes than "Britain's biggest most fashion influencer who ever influenced".
Can't wait for her to receive her invitation to CH's next show.

I’ve always had an issue with this blogging/vlogging lifestyle, but it’s making me feel sick to my stomach seeing how tone deaf this all seems.
many people cant afford to buy food for their families right now,
Seeing a fucking malnourished bitch twirling around because her 300 quid jeans are the DREAM really isn’t going down well right now.
and I fucking know you all agree which is why I love it here

I'm not defending Victoria, since she's a willing participant in this shitshow of a marriage and she definitely has her own problems (and also I don't like her LOL)...
But If it's true and he really is pressuring her to have kids....he is such a dumb, entitled, disrespectful man-child.
So he KNEW she didn't want kids...and didn't take her seriously and he thinks he can change her mind? Then he flat out doesn't respect her as a woman, let alone as his wife. And of course, in his pea brain, he thinks it'll be easy because he doesn't have to carry the child.
Also...their income depends on Victoria being able to squeeze into designer clothing. Where does he think the money for his new car is going to come from if she gets pregnant and she can no longer do fashion vids? Sure, Family vlogging can be lucrative, but Victoria would never make that shift in a million years.
He needs to sit the f*ck down and either accept she doesn't want kids or leave. He doesn't get to mope around and villainize her while continuing to take her money.

everything about this woman is pitiful to me:
her lack of self
her mental state
her narcissistic and pessimistic personality
her ignorance
her chronic discontent while also being arrogant as hell
her manic state and thoughts
her try-hard, label-obsessed style
her negative attitude while trying to project positivity
her emotional instability
her constant consumerism killing the planet she claims to want to protect
her refusal to evaluate herself and blame xyz for whatever not going her way
her performance like she has a perfect marriage when we ALL see the issues
her lack of friendships that align with who she wants to be
her thin skin and inability to tolerate an ounce of constructive feedback
her stubborn and rigid frame of mind
her obsession with free shit she doesn’t need
I could go on.
She needs a YEAR or more of mostly offline time to do fundamental, core work. Alex too!
the magraths are soooooo toxic and represent everything wrong with influencer culture.
Last night I watched several Amelia vlogs and while she does have her quirks, thats a woman who knows who she is and has a life and social circle that aligns with who she is. Everything about the Magraths is out of alignment. They’re essentially both walking oxymorons

So in her moan about finding a house in Cornwall she says she wants a perfect house so she doesn’t have to rip out kitchens ‘unsustainably’ and was perfect from the start. I don’t know how you can say that with a straight face after ripping out a beautiful dressing room and replacing it with a caravan interior aesthetic dressing room only months ago?! Oh and a newly done bathroom was ripped out and replaced too?!
No one cares if you renovate an old house and rip out dated kitchens etc, so this is just bullshit and throwing a strop because she can’t find the perfect house!
Lord above, it’s disappointing, but happens to almost everyone at some point. You have to count your blessings for what you have, keep your chin up and get on with it!!
