Yes I think she's stunning too and I really like some of her clothes - not that shiny yellow suit she posted a while ago though!

She looks different in real life. Her selfie face is good but watch any video of her she looks totally different irl
It wasn’t too embarrassing actually in NY she just went to a tinder date persons house in middle of night and he wanted group sex and she said no and she went to sleep and the flat mate woke up and screamed get out witch or something like that.
Yeah, I agree. She does have that generic, horsey, posh-girl look.
I see that Pandora has retweeted a Jack Monroe blog.
Well, typical of someone who neither cooks nor struggles for money retweeting for woke points.
Those posts always make me cringe. It seems like she desperately tries to be something she's not, but only when she's had a few drinks.
I find it funny that Dolly the author is turning into a glorified clothes horse on Insta and former wardrobe mistress Pandora is positioning herself as the thinking woman’s writer.
I finished Dolly's memoir today and really enjoyed it. It seems like her talent definitely lies in nonfiction writing. I wish she'd write more memoirs (clearly, she hasn't moved past her narcissism!)
I was listening to a podcast with Pandora recently (can't remember which one exactly, but it was one of the recent ones where she's promoting her book). Anyway, apparently her sister asked her if she would've gotten her job as Wardrobe Mistress at The Sunday Times if she wasn't thin or white and Pandora seemed taken aback, like she'd never considered her privilege before. Just astounding ignorance.

Thats her being a bit tongue in cheek - have you not got a sense of humour?
I didn’t compare Pandora to Dolly; I’m not the least bit interested in Dolly. I’ve never opened her Instagram page, let alone read anything she’s written or listened to anything she has recorded.
I’ve commented that Pandora’s strengths lie in fashion, interiors and travel, and that part of that her appeal is that she seems to own her vanity which makes for fantastic fashion photography as she loves the camera.
Yeah, I really wouldn’t call that “bashing” - or even especially close to it. ‘Kardashian’s at the Met’ , do I need to explain the metaphor - ok it’s saying imagine the people known for make up and dressing up at their most made / dressed up...
they aren’t even the butt of the joke, her kid is.
personally I find it kind of contrived and try hard but I know that’s me being unfair because she gets on my nerves. But it’s harmless. You must see that ?
Honestly THIS. I am a pre-HighLow PanDolly listener and if one looks at the way that woman harnessed social media likes on IG--she would tally HUNDREDS in an hour's time with new posts back in 2015-17--into some actual career lift, and now has the cheek to be smugly superior and dismissive of the platform, it is minorly enraging. Those two probably made a small mint on their live-speaking gigs, which was only possible via IG numbers.
A low point for these two was last December when they devoted an entire episode to puzzing over "why" the Victoria's Secret fashion show was no longer relevant, failing to mention that the brand was once part of Leslie Wexner's empire and therefore tainted by Jeffrey Epstein; the brand was deployed to lure underage women into auditions to become models.
I am still mad at myself for not using "Will Flirt for Dettol" as a user name when I signed up here because that early "Panny D" (eyeroll backbend) IG post of Dolly's seems to kind of sum up her fatuous self-absorption.
?? I loved the book. Most of my friends did too. You haven't met a single person who did?! woah
Prince Phillip is the first mourner listed in the Times' obituary notice for Pandora's grandfather in 2009 (as per protocol? I'm in the US). That should tell you everything you need to know about her privilege. There's privilege then there's the Duke of Edinburgh-Pals'-level privilege.
Just reading Bryony Gordon’s new book... as per, Dolly is quoted on the back!
Anyway, it’s about Bryony’s alcoholism and the stories in it are utterly shocking. She’s really, really put it all out there.
A thought keeps popping in my mind as I read it, and I don’t want to put too much stock in this because it’s just conjecture, but given the way Dolly talks about drinking, I’m glad she’s read it. It has occurred to me that Dolly often sounds like younger Bryony, back when Bryony was writing in The Telegraph about her party adventures and laughing off her drinking.

yes, and my friends are all the target demographic. Some are podcast listeners, some are not. Some are writers themselves. All disliked it. I won’t share their reasons for fear of offending those on this thread who obviously love it
I see a lot of Bryony in Dolly, who’s drinking behaviour always sets alarm bells off in me (I had a drinking problem in my 20s, got sober in my 30s)

I’d actually really like to read what you / they didn’t like about it, if you have the time. I’m interested as while I enjoyed it as a quick read, I’m a bit older and I was trying to figure out how much of experience and views are those of her peers.
I really disliked it and couldn't finish it. I just found it so self-involved, snotty, classist and humourless. One of the few bits I remember is where she made fun of a hypothetical person for wanting to buy a new-build flat in Penge (south London). I think, in her mind, she was making fun of the upwardly-mobile type who wants a nice but boring house in the suburbs. Maybe that kind of joke was funny 30 years ago. Now, given her position in society, it just felt like she was making fun of those with less money than her who were trying to build a good life for themselves.
(I live in Penge. Maybe that's coloured my view.)
Has anyone seen Dolly’s stories on insta right now? There’s a pic of her and two friends in the sea and guess what? Dolly is topless while her other friends have swimsuits on 
she has this real obsession with being seen as a coquettish nymph.
