So, Lauren (@the.la.way on Instagram) has launched a clothing brand and it provides some notes worth adding for anyone new or lurking.
Just as a refresher -- Anna loves to use her "friendship" with a successful JetSetBabe like Lauren to "prove" that she's made it. The wonderful
@laurensanchez called this out immediately as a purely social media friendship based on business and she was, of course, correct.
Notice the descriptor of Lauren's brand -- "
defining timeless
elegance". Now what popular influencer has garnered a sizeable cult following of women obsessed with the idea of elegance + being perceived as affluent + willing to pay anyone that can sell them this dream? Oh that's right, Anna Bey. For anyone needing confirmation, Lauren made a smart business decision. Lauren has her real life friends, the ones she invites into her home, dines with, travels with, parties with, lives her life connected with - these are the girls that are in her circle. Then there's "friends" like Anna, girls that pretend to live the life Lauren and her friends do, but who have acquired enough currency in the form of social media followers and influence to be of value. Again, purely business. At this point, however, I would not be surprised if Lauren upped the ante on her real-life interactions with Anna, just so she can have maximum exposure to Anna's followers.
Don't get me wrong, Lauren seems like a genuinely kind and happy person living her life. But we've all seen the photos from her glamour model days. She didn't get to where she was by just traipsing around London being sweet and elegant and then just fell into the arms of her wealthy husband. She had a plan, she moved discreetly, she succeeded. I guarantee you that she knows Anna is fake, is full of
tit and finds her ridiculous, trite advice on hunting for rich men and being in high society completely embarrassing. But Anna has the kind of audience that Lauren's brand will really appeal to. Similarly, Lauren has the actual success in the JSB world that bolsters Anna's pretenses about being part of certain circles. It's a win-win and the only losers here are the dear elegant mangoes that still think Aija is their angel mother of hypergamy and every one of us detractors are evil, jealous haters.
Also -- Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all of you wonderful ladies on here. I've been so busy that I've only just caught up with these threads and have found a moment to contribute, these discussions move so fast due to Anna's constant antics haha. I hope you're all safe and happy with your loved ones this time of year, I have so much appreciation for all of you and what you've contributed to this forum.
