"Silas Stardust and the Lullaby Labyrinth" <--- I'm sold
In one of the good morning/good evening videos, she actually talked about this. I found it so odd that it was fascinating - she said because there was a lot of down time between doing stuff for the musical (I think she said she worked part time for Universal on some stuff, too), she spent many of her days buying DVDs, then went home and watched the films she'd bought. That's what I remember she said, anyway. It sounded a bit lonely and made me wonder if she didn't miss having people around, an office/school to go to now and then, and a more regular schedule. It didn't sound as fun I'd imagined it to be, to write a musical with Tom and doing whatever she did for Universal.
I believe he didn't outright buy her the flat but no doubt he gifted her a large sum of money for the down payment. Which, like, I wouldn't blame him. If I was a multi millionaire with a sibling trying to get on the property ladder, I would have no issues doing that either. I highly doubt her two years of employment (I mean she bought the flat at 22 and was unemployed at home at 20) were enough to purchase a flat.
That’s the other thing that baffles me, why would you want the names of two randos you’ll never see again on your marriage certificate, when you both have such close families and friends? I get it when people don’t have/aren’t close to their relatives, or are genuinely just the type for a whirlwind romance, but whirlwind Carrie is not
I feel like people are forgetting that she had a few years of decent youtube success prior to her moving into her flat, as well as her Eponine money. She likely wasn’t paying any bills while living at home, and she’s always seemed pretty frugal with her money, it’s not that unlikely she could’ve saved for a deposit. I remember Alex Day brought her a new phone while they were dating because hers was so old and she wouldn’t get a new one.
In fairness (as someone who eloped and had the photographer and events coordinator as witnesses) I’m really unbothered about having the names of people I’ll never see again on there. The point was to get married, and neither me nor my husband wanted to spend our money on a big day when we’re introverts. I haven’t looked at our certificate since I had to send it off to change my name. For me, at least, it’s not that big of a deal about who witnessed our marriage, just that we got married
I do think that Joel probably really hyped up the idea of how romantic it would be to elope to Gretna, just them and nothing to prove to anybody, and Carrie, having probably always had a totally different picture of her wedding in mind, was swept up in this. I don’t think for a moment she thought it would be such a non-event and they’d be eating cheese and onion sandwiches, and let’s not forget the freebie oysters in a freezing cold station when they got back to King’s Cross.I've actually always found it a bit odd people WANT/NEED to declare something so personal in front of loads of people, especially ones they barely see/know. To me a wedding is a private personal moment so a small wedding seems natural to me.
Exactly. It’s such a ripe opportunity for her to vlog, post stuff, make videos etc?Does anyone know if the sales for Carrie's children books are any good?
I have such a hard time believing she wrote them as she never ever mentioned anything about the writing process? I know, i know, nowadays she says she is not arrogant enough to share just any old tatbut i cannot imagine making a whole novel and never mentioning anything about it, with the social media presence she has, until it needs to be sold?
I think it’s probably not one extreme or the other
Careful, she'll be cribbing from that comment next time the wedding "comes up" in a Q&A!
exactly - living rent free with her parents, rarely going out to bars etc., and earning from both YouTube and as a principal in a long running, prestigious west end show. she also stated in one of her videos she didn’t buy a car so she could save for a deposit on a flat. she would easily be able to save for a deposit being full time employed (in two lucrative jobs) for that long with no outgoings.
I forgot she had a period of refusing to go out clubbing etc. Not that anything is wrong with that but she seemed so judgy and preachy about it at the time.
