I know a local mum who was clearly obsessed with Mrs Meldrum. At the time I’d didn’t know who Mrs Meldrum was and I’ve never been so baffled and the school mums found her ‘primark hauls’ and outfits of the day absolutely hilarious with 1 like. She also tries food pics which are the most unappetising plates of mess you have ever seen.
It’s tragic.

The point about debt doesn’t surprise me.
I’m in a well paid job but couldn’t afford the lifestyle of a lot of the instagrammers; weekly flowers, cocktails, new shoes bags and clothes, fancy days out, candles etc etc etc

This is why I get so cross that we get slagged off for bringing ‘women down’ by not supporting them. Behind every influencer is a string of women who are influenced into debt to try and be the next influencer.

Great point 👍

The bit about debt doesn't surprise me either. I remember a blogger saying she got into debt buying make up and trying to keep up with new products, in hopes it would 'pay off' in the future.

I totally agree in principle, however, if I named I’d get caught sharpish, their reach isn’t that big that I would be lost in the wave of wtfery and I’m sure there used to be a thread here, it must have been deleted (?) cause I don’t see it now in search

I know 2. One who promotes body positivity but - yep you’ve guessed it - is far from #bopo in private. The only positivity she’s interested in is all about her.

Another is trying desperately to be an influencer but has word for word copied posts from other popular and well known influencers on insta. No original thoughts in their head obviously.

I do. Can’t name. She has painted such a fantastic life on the squares, when in reality her life isn’t all that peachy. Not that peachy at all. More misery than peachy.

Yes. I worked with one a few years ago. She doesn’t have a post on here. She does elsewhere, but I only stalk that site and not signed up so I can’t wade in with my comments 😂

I know someone very similar to this- who is so completely different to what she portrays herself as- druggy ( taking whilst pregnant with both boys)
On all benefits, committed benefit fraud, been bankrupt 3 times, had sti’s, slept with landlords to pay rent in the past.
