Australian Influencers #38

[yesok1]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've been out of the influencer loop for a while. Is Ash Tardew's brand Sabbi the same one that was caught up in controversy with anti-sunscreen, anti-vax people?

Yep
They're making 200 - 300k per launch. Keeping stock in 3 warehouses and doing releases when they hype it up enough. Overselling because they have incompetent staff and having to refund hundreds of people. Then keeping stock full for a few more weeks until another launch of never to be released again 50c shirts.

I must be old because i do not understand the obsession and hyper fixation with Sabbi clothes. Also I am old so that probably explains it

 

[ammg885]

I don’t get the obsession with their t shirts

Looks like Ash from Sabbi donated 10k to Chloe Fishers wild fire fundraiser, I saw she raised about 17k for Do it for Dolly too.

They must make a mint on their t-shirts.

I judge every sad beige mum that i see wearing their tit. Always the sheep IG loving types.

Me too! Also old. And I love oversized graphic tshirts. But I think theirs are fugly.

Just the same dickheads who drop $$$ on C&M or Aje tshirts… zero appreciation for style. Just want everyone to know they have $100 to drop

They’re 100% for the insta mum set - the same market that Gorman used to have, women who want something colourful, comfortable and oversized/loose fitting. I think they’re weird as all get out but there’s no accounting for taste!

In QLD you'd make yourself feel sick wearing all of that extra fabric. Honestly foul. It's humid as hell here. Looks dumb too.

I don't get it either, aren't they meant to be about slow fashion, yet they seem to be launching a new line every few weeks.

Cindy Mead is so anxious about everything. Rice is a ‘high risk food’ for leftovers now. I swear every day is another concern about bacteria or germs. Must be so exhausting! She also refuses to cater food for her child that isn’t exactly what they are eating which seems a bit rigid. She’s only little! Make her some toast or something she likes. Not many kids love grilled salmon.

Well the weight loss industry is apparently tanking and many companies have gone into liquidation so I hope he’s diversified his assets. I can’t believe how many people are paying weekly subscriptions for meal and exercise plans that could be created by chatgpt…it’s the same as simple home edit - she now has 2 million followers!! All she does is show basic home cooked meals on repeat and other really boring content.

Her taking a squeegee to the park made me laugh. Like I get it, it’s annoying if you get a wet bum on the slide but she made it sound like it was more a dirt and germ thing than anything.

Also she cancelled going to her nieces 5 yo birthday party last minute as she needed to pack orders or something. I thought that was a bit harsh…like go for an hour or two. Kids parties don’t go for that long anyway and the child is old enough to realise you aren’t there.

Plus she has two nanny’s. What does her husband do for work?

I read one of her books recently and she mentions she used to have an eating disorder. Hopefully it hasn’t been triggered after pregnancy and birth. I didn’t really follow her much before pregnancy so unsure how she looked.

Victoria is ADHD girly now like so many other influencers so I wouldn’t be surprised if her weight loss is due to medication.

I’m really glad Victoria Devine is being called out for being out-of-touch and dismissive for people really struggling. It’s not just that she’s unrelatable - it’s that she’s trying to dish out financial advice to people who are genuinely struggling while taking freebies from brands to renovate her house on the Peninsula and promoting a Sam Wood challenge after she’s already dropped weight. She’s not genuine and not authentic - and her apology saying she didn’t mean people who couldn’t afford a house were stupid, but people who didn’t understand the billboard were stupid, just doesn’t cut it.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

It's the "I'm sorry you feel that way" apology, not I'm actually sorry.

 

[MrsEyeroll]

Steph luck needs to put that fckn stomach away

Yes she does! Is she worried people will forget her and her perfect husband are pregnant? Love how she offloads a second child to her mum, happens constantly and makes me wonder how she thinks she will handle all 4. Also the house they live in is nice and expensive, it also has a stunning view but it's such a cold house with no warmth or love. Considering they're the perfect family I would have thought it would be a lovely inviting house but nope all I see is mess, wide open spaces with nothing to fill the emptiness and it's dark and depressing.

I still don’t understand the billboard

Really baffles me why they are still renting if they are making so much money too. I wonder what her & Deans relationship is really like behind closed doors.

 

[djsass]

Is the house like $4k a week? I remember reading that somewhere. He is quite successful in his own right owns a very lucrative business and would be raking in and she gets free crap all the time but weird they would drop so much on a rental and not a family home maybe bad credit?

 

[thirstymum]

The house he bought semi recently was like $11M!!!

He bought the Graya place at Burleigh didn’t he?

 

[blwwhenbabycantevensitup]

I’ll always stand by this ..

An oversupply is not a good thing.
For mums that pump and get 25mls but you have a happy thriving baby that’s okay.

Feed your baby and don’t worry about how much is in your freezer.

I bought a $15 hand pump and used it 3x my youngest never took a bottle and he is still breastfeeding 19momths later.
This women is infuriating.
this is why women think they have failed their babies

 

[screenfreelookatme]

My diet was crap (by her standards) and I never drank enough water, but I was a champion pumper (my kids never took bottles, but I’d need to pump at work and then donate). It’s dumb luck. I know there’s things that can help, but mostly it’s down to luck.

How much you can pump has nothing to do with supply.

She’s insufferable.
