Chris O'Dowd on chatty man popped up on my YouTube recommendation, he says that they didn't sell the wedding photos as " why bother, we're so rich". Just made me think of dawn and her patron.

Yes I was reading about it recently. Her first book is based on it or something - not Dawn being the bully natch, but the experiences of the person being bullied (at her hand).

Oh no, just read the amazon review :cry: did dawn ever acknowledge this?

I note she made a preemptive statement about not being available for Caroline's documentary somewhere.... could have been stories (hasn't everyone been pretty much available at home for the last 12 months???) My gut feeling which doesn't sit well, is that perhaps the friendship was hyped up to be a bit more than it actually was.

I noticed Dawns name in the credits of the documentary. I’m not sure what for but she was definitely mentioned.

Ha she explicitly said when she started up the Patreon she’d still be on Instagram posting and storying.


I wonder if this will go the way of the retro/vintage online clothing store when she effectively said it was closing because she couldn’t be arsed with meetings and accounts and stuff.

I really like her but she does seem to be quite sort of in the moment/going for it. Fair play to her I suppose.

Exactly what she did when she was living in London for 6 months! I’m sure she won’t accept a gifted one though and will pay for it with the money she’s making from Patreon 😜

I would say she could easily afford a mattress! As much as I like her books I’m going off her on insta. Haven’t unfollowed yet but might need to soon :(

It's her signature thing, that bob. I like it on her. Maybe it's because I'm so used to seeing it on her that I can't imagine her with any other style, but I think she really suits short styles. Her face is very delicate so anything longer would overwhelm it. Perhaps a different shaped shorter style but the bob is so in keeping with her love of 60's/70's fashion that it works really well.

It's the fringe for me. She should grow it out, it would look so much better.

I think I remember her saying that someone had told her that she was providing too much content for free and should charge for it.
I can understand creatives starting out or who don’t have book deals having Patreon, but she has her own wealth plus combined with Chris’s too, it seems unethical almost!

She also said something about losing her job writing for a magazine (can’t remember the name)?

I remember her doing a poll on whether her followers would be willing to pay her patreon and the majority said no but she said she was still going to do it anyway!

Yes she did, but before she died she unfollowed Dawn - if you go on her Instagram now you can see it doesn’t follow her

I don't know how they keep moving all those pets ? She tagged the company that moves them. Is she in UK now ? The Joanie adverts are excessive on my Instagram. Turned me off her a bit
