We need to focus on what Anna is doing - she is trying to persuade her followers that she is a genuine millionairess and that she knows the secret to getting the luxury life many people. Anna claims that her tips are worth a lot of money and that they are more valuable than an education. As discussed earlier in this thread, the main target of Anna's overpriced courses are women from not so wealthy backgrounds, likely low income, who might not have a lot of education - or are unable to afford higher education - even in countries where tuition is free, you still have to cover the living expenses and if your parents cannot help, you need to work a lot but with the rising cost of living and salaries not matching it is hard.
I
almost fell for Banana's course - an while I am a Baltic Eastern European (hereon BEE), with a lot of education and a prestigious, yet low paid job, I thought I could level up and become a better person. Thank all deities that I found Tattle and saw the truth. I saved my money and instead bought myself some stylish clothes
I kinda understand Anna's perception of luxury -- Anna is another BEE, though she is most likely from a Russian speaking family, originally from Estonia. Again, nothing wrong with that. But her background shapes her perception of what millionaire life means. I think that Anna always wanted the oligarch wife lifestyle - that is what the main goal for many BEE ladies is. The problem is that there are many ladies and only just so many oligarchs. These women who do make it and marry an oligarch DO splurge money at incredible pace, and they WOULD wear a 50k$ Birkin to walk a dog if they wanted to - they have unlimited funds and they don't need to preserve the bags. If you look at real estate listings in Moscow, the Rublevka neighbourhood (where the ultra rich live) the houses have incredibly massive walk in closets and even climate control rooms for the fur coats (fur coats are still a status symbol for many Russian speaking ladies no matter what the fashion world does. Every lady, no matter her income level hopes her husband will gift her a nice fur coat - for normal incomes it is likely going to be a rabbit fur, but if the husband tries really hard, maybe mink).
Anna's dream is that big house and luxury bags to throw around. That's why she stuffed the Chanela in the easyjet/ryanair seat pocket - she wanted to show she is so rich she doesn't care about damaging the bag. That is why the Hermessas are her daily bags. She tries to create a picture of the mega rich laydee.
But in reality, Anna has an average life - sure, she moved to Geneva but she's not living the truly ahfluent life there. Geneva is expensive so no wonder her apartment looks very basic.
BUT the biggest issue I have with Banana is that her tips lean towards escorting (now, if anyone wants to do that, it is up to that person, no judgement from my side. But this is a job someone best get into fully knowing what it entails) and Banana also has a lot of negativity that she spreads - she looks down on less klaasy and elefant people and hopes her followers will do the same. This might create trouble for her followers - they might unwittingly come across as escorts or just plain rude.
Following Banana's style tips won't get her followers very far - they will look like a frumpy granny with a Hermessa. I know very elegant older ladies who don't dress anything like Banana. Banana's eleghunt stylist course likely won't level up anyone's style, I bet in true Banana style it is all generic advice as the course is intended for everybody. If someone wants to dress more elegant and elevated, the best course of action is to find a local experienced stylist who will give the customer personalised tips and clothing selection. This will still cost less than Banana's course.
Aija, I would really appreciate a four bedroom house with a garden somewhere in the suburbs, oh and a car would come in handy too. No rush, sometime next week would do. Thanks in advance
Well done, Aija, for going over and above to follow Tattle's instructions.
