this is it, isn't it? BB thinks paying more for clothings = more sustainable/ethical fashion and that's complete bullshit. Just because a brand sells their clothes for £££ doesn't mean they made them in a sustainable way. she's completely clueless about sustainability or what makes clothing ethical/durable/sustainable and she doesn#t even try to learn. she thinks she knows best even though she's done zero research.Just for fun I totalled up the prices for every outfit linked in the description box... £15062.80 all in allAnd that's not an exact figure for each of those outfits because some she rewore shoes, didn't link her earrings etc. I know she will have paid or got discount for some of it but even so. The thing that plays on my mind the most is I bet that's not even the garment workers who made those trousers (for example) annual salary, and that's just based on maybe a couple of months gifting and/or purchases with discount?
That would be bit embarrassing for her though, wouldn't it? Because I don't think any of the labels she raves on about so often would do well...and can you imagine BB acknowledging her mistake of claiming they were super trouper ethical? Or just saying she didn't care? (To be fair, her followers would lap it up. Endless streams of "Oh my god, such an inspiration! I love how you are just a human, what matters is your will to change!"Has she ever mentioned the website, Good On You? It would be my #1 most mentioned and recommended service if I were positioning myself as a sustainable/ethical/conscious social media profile.
If she hasn't - well, BB, here's a tip for you. Tell the world about GoodOnYou.eco, maybe even make a video where you run a few well-known brands through their brand directory. See how much you can justify supporting brands like Cos after doing so.
Seem to remember a navy one too, which would make fourShe now has THREE of the rubber KASSL 'Below' coats - one in an orangey colour, one in a chocolatey-burgundy, and now the beige colour she showed in her latest video. Those costs cost £750 new. Regardless of the brand's ethics and sustainability standpoint, to own three of the exact same thing is excessive
This is niche, but I remember the video where she was wearing and talking about the brown one and it was just SO clear she didn’t like the colour. Ok, that’s fine, but why accept the product then? The whole dialogue was just so uncomfortable and I’ve never seen her wear the brown version since. Happy to be corrected on that one though.Seem to remember a navy one too, which would make four
Yes! I’m so glad someone else remembers this. When she showed it and talked about it, the dislike of the colour was palpable in the way she described it. Those coats are £££, just DON’T accept the gift if you hate it that much.why do i remember her saying she liked the chocolate-burgundy (the brown one right?) coat? of course, i haven't seen it on her since
A ringing endorsement just how much she loves them! Jeez.She's just sold another Kassl coat on Depop. She's drowning in the bloody things.
i agree that bb is a privileged white woman with a lot access to things other people don't have. but this idea that it's "white woman tears" every time a white woman cries is quite an icky idea and has been used as a weapon against white woman regardless of the source of those tears. "white woman tears" has nothing to do with this situation. she's not trying to make herself the victim at the expense of a black person (which is where the term came from).ughhhhh new fecking videospoiler alert: she cries. wish i could just cry to all my editors and get a pity party going, make it easier to get work done and get paid $$$. she's SUCH a privileged brat and she knows it.
victimhood as violence in BB's white feminism has got me feeling extremely sick. this toxic wielding of femininity through tears is to basically paint her (and other similar white women) as helpless against the world. she's just a trendy karen weaponising her victimhood. not shitting on BB's state of mental health but for someone who can afford a huge house for a single person, all the fancy Augustinus Bader face cream, many Kassl coats etc etc, somehow therapy is never in the picture. all that's present is Victimhood with a capital V and for her audience to assuage her so-called guilt and feelings of shame. it's all just "oh look at poor me CRYING in front of you people. LOOK at how brave my poor soul is. i'm SO relatable and cute and funny oh my gosh the light in this room is soooo dim...just like me *cries*...ohhh look self-care in the form of a....bath!!!" therapy is only for people who can't afford jolly trips to London and unnecessary cardigans.
thanks for coming to my TED talk.
crying on camera might be performative but it's not white woman tears. you're reaching. white woman tears is something that is almost exclusively used when a white woman cries to garner sympathy when she's done something racist and/or abusive. BB hasn't done that here at all and while I agree crying on camera is performative and manipulative, I think it's really low to accuse her of weaponising her tears when there's literally no one she's attacking by crying.white woman tears has everything to do with this situation. the idea of crying to use sympathy while trying to defend claims of misogyny by her, a white woman, which has been unfounded is kinda a basis for it? and her crying on camera is performative. she herself questions whether or not to use the said crying footage and then goes forward to use it. this could've been done quietly. if BB had used the footage without trying to make it seem like she was doing the tough thing of including it, then that's different.
to me it comes across as you're trying to insuate something that isn't there, and it's gross of you to try to manipulate what happened (BB crying on camera) into something race motivated. yes, she mentioned the event being more diverse and others not so much but this was after the crying on camera and completely unrelated. she was crying on camera to get sympathy and it came across as very disingenous to me. I have no doubt she's been reading here and has taken a lot of what's been said to heart. to insinuate that somehow it's "white woman tears" is shoehorning a trendy catchphrase into a situation that didn't happen.it's also not a question of her not being allowed to cry about it. like i've mentioned before, it's her channel. she is entitled to do whatever she wants. but acting like she's doing the "brave" thing for including a footage of her crying, has all the markings of a very performative white woman suffering. it seems like a "weapon against white women" because it is sadly the norm. BB goes on to say that she doesn't want to attend a certain event because it's not diverse enough but the other event has diversity. i mean LOL. if she was really concerned about having a diverse table, she'd pass on the opportunity. not talk about it for two seconds while her performative crying gets the prime opening slot. this script of guilt and presumed ignorance that BB constructs is very laughable and is a common tool used by women at the top of their pecking order (because if i say white women well it's gonna start a riot isn't it) in relation to their "feminist" struggles.
