Can I admit that I like to mooch around in a tie dye hoodie? Not that one, with that odd print on the back, but I like the student dealer look. At least it's not another midi jumpsuit.
A few weeks ago, before the break, I thought she looked really sad and lost, like she knew she was screwed long term, but couldn't see a way out. I sort of feel for her, it must be awful to know that you're bleeping yourself over long term for a quick buck now.
When I first discovered Babs, a few years ago, instamums were the mean girls, with a 'you can't sit with us' vibe, like MOD. They tapped into that school girl elite vibe, with their nice houses, and blonde sunkissed children. Babs definitely tried to play to that, but it's not really her, she isn't cool and chic. She just never quite hit the mark.
Then came the scuzzy, 'funny', anti instamums, like PTWM, and so Babs jumped on that bandwagon. I don't think that's what she really is either, but it was closer, and so she saw more success. She then latched onto Louise, bringing more followers. I think that she felt like she had to be more to extreme to keep that engagement up. Laze around more, buy more tat, flash more, and just be a bit more crap, to me it feels less and less believable with each post. I don't believe that somebody who organises every part of their house, and holidays cannot teach at home. I don't believe that she doesn't know what an octogon is. I don't believe that she cannot work from home at the minute, whilst still posting a couple of ads a week.
Now the trend is for mums who actually what to hang out with their children, like SJ Strum, and Babs doesn't fit into that group either.
I think that she's taken on the role, and it's bled into her life, so that she now can't separate her scummy, eating in the bath persona from her. She looks miserable, even when she's fake smiling. She knows that once this is over she can't go back to teaching, and she won't be able to walk into another career which will pay as well as influencing, especially when they view her social media. She's shown zero personal growth throughout her time with a platform, and intact seems to regressed to an overgrown toddler, and she knows that she's fucked herself over. I feel for her
