Eleanor Florence #6 Lawyer no more, pines for days of Joe yore, poor life choices galore

[boredstrom]

Chris kicked her to the curb and had the locks changed.

Joe walked off into the sunset.

Special Someone saw visions of his daughter's college fund being flushed down a Nordstrom toilet and slipped away as fast as he appeared.

Rick saw a lifetime of 90 hour weeks and Elle just chewing through everything he made before he could make it and sent her postage due back to her mother.

But her bags . . . . Her bags will never leave her. Your bags love you Elle. Those glorious, reliable, wonderful bags. Treasure them always.

I don't even get why she got that print made -- the view from the apartment wasn't breathtaking. It was nice, but not nice enough to replace a professional photo of the city.

If she wanted a print to remember her time in Vancouver, a photo of the Nordstrom fitting room or Joe's wallet would make much more sense.

In her #breakupmas video, near the end, we see that Elle and Joe redecorated their balcony/patio. Joe pans the camera to show the view that’s evidently in Elle’s print. He made a comment about how the day is perfect weather-wise and that there are so many people and their pets playing in park. Elle was always one to appreciate the view from afar but never take part in it. So sad for Joe cause you could tell he’d rather be in the park than cooped up in Elle’s (ivory) tower.

That print is probably her version of a vision board. She wakes up every morning after chanting self-affirmations and mantras in the mirror (“I’m a lawyer. I’m a fashion designer. I’m a photographer. I’m a superstar.”) before turning to her print, heavily salivating like a wolf, and thinking “the next man I snag is going to (at minimum) give me this view.” It’s either this or bust. She then proceeds to practice her smug smirks in the mirror, then her eye widening exercises (because her suitors won’t be turned on by a smirk hidden behind a mask), a couple practice rounds of her 80s mom-style twisty dance moves, all I n preparation for her date(s) that evening.

The plot thickens.

It'll be very interesting to dissect the man who eventually decides a lifetime with Eleanor is worth it. Such a creature is sure to be a fascinating study he'll be a freakin unicorn for sure.

He'll be a cat, most likely.

 

[Food4Thought]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm in the "Joe is cute" camp (did not think any of her other suitors were). Joe reminds me of my husband who is a quietly funny, kinda shy guy. Seems very standoffish but when you get close to him, has a delightful impish side you could see snatches of that from time to time with Joe. I just don't think he appreciated her camera coming out all the time or the probable metamorphosis he witnessed from how she would behave when not on camera to her affectations once it was rolling. I think Joe was a serious keeper... Nice guy (who got pushed too far) with a great career and seemingly good with money. Chris's personality was not great and Dickles... well that moose fucker has more than a few screws loose.

him getting in there first was classic

To quote a random redditor, "I can't believe he fired her on Instagram...Savage."

I am saddened to see that you ladies continue to engage in malicious back-fence talk regarding those with whom you are not acquainted. Even though Elle and I have gone our separate ways, you will not hear me say a negative sentiment about Elle. A real man never speaks ill of a past lover, and my heart will always say merci beaucoup to Elle for those passionate, tender nights in New Orleans and Nashville. In the end, my disciplined, minimalist approach to life, spurning shallow material pursuits like money and career to devote my life to empowering and lifting up humanity, proved difficult for Elle. But this is completely understandable, as most people cannot handle the demands of such a life, and as rivers may diverge, so we did, naturally and beautifully. As the great John Ruskin once said, “A man is one whose body has been trained to be the ready servant of his mind; whose passions are trained to be the servants of his will; who enjoys the beautiful, loves truth, hates wrong, loves to do good, and respects others as himself.” I live by this credo on a daily basis, pushing my mind and my body to their limits. While your fallacies ad ignorantiam do provide me a source of mirth, I would venture that your time would be better spent among your community. For example, I recently played tennis with 80 year old men in my community. You might say, "Rick, you're only doing so because you have no friends your own age." But in fact, I did so because as a community leader and ethics professor, I belong to my community, and therefore it is my duty to guide, edify and enlighten all people, regardless of age. And so, I would encourage you all to set aside the petty, frivolous subjects of internet discussion and instead do good, for only then can you find true happiness.

This might be my favorite post on this entire thread.

Manners and character are honestly so much more important to me and a lot of people I know than graduating from a certain school, looking a certain way, or having a certain job. Eleanor Florence seems to think that with her plastic surgery, clown make up, and big pageant hair, she’s free to scam people, treat them in a condescending way, and have no common decency. There is something really disgusting about someone who grew up with some privilege like Elle did, but still being selfish, vapid, and determined to take advantage of others. Strong greedy and narcissist vibes.

 

[bethannebodyworks]

I totally agree.

Elle is a spoiled brat through and through. The way she responds to airport delays, slams doors in people's faces, holes herself up in tents when at a group outing, gets mountains of packages delivered to her SO's parents' house, does her makeup on their kitchen counter while filming without a care in the world, reserves a chair for an entire day (reserving it for a few hours, I think, is fine), stirs with her finger, lets dogs drink out of public-use dinnerware, etc. She's just an entitled asshole. I am so glad that life is smacking her down. She needs humbling.

 

[202leda]

I dunno, ladies. The way she “pivots” her responses kinda reminds me of someone I know who refuses to disclose their taxes for years and becomes angrily defensive when the facts come out...oh wait...

 

[boredstrom]

Must admit I am a little disappointed.

I was hoping for an origin story of the new animal print line where she talks about how she ventured to the far corners of the continent in search of a life where she didn't have to get up and go to work in the morning but could still eat gourmet food and spend thousands on clothes, candles, furniture, and shoes.

She did not find that in Florida, but she did find a deep appreciation for the wetlands and all its wonder. She brought a piece of the beautiful wilderness home with her in the form of her cat and while reflecting on things in her True(tm) home in Seattle, she realized serendipitously that she didn't need to move so far away to find someone to give her what she wanted. She already had that person in her life; her Mom.

The animal print line is a celebration of Ginette, who for the last year has picked up the tab while Elle ate gourmet food and spent thousands on clothes, candles, furniture, and shoes. Bonne chance mon cheri!

Watching that 2017 vlogmas made me realize how incredibly weird it was for Elle to brag about her accomplishments when she was a child/teen.

She can't help herself. Combination of narcissist rage and low self-esteem means everything must be an opportunity to brag and feel better about herself.

When you think about it, a lot of her behaviour is just downright weird. Not quirky or funny or unusual, but weird. Like insisting that she is a lawyer, saying she must put fruit on her waffles because she is Belgian, or claiming that Rick bought her a Tiffany ring but never showing a photo of said ring.

Her entire life is a fraud. How exhausting for her...

 

[svdwoodsen]

Of course Eleanor Florence doesn't give a f about her subscribers - if any of you are reading this, know that she ONLY CARES ABOUT YOUR CASH CONTRIBUTIONS and nothing more! She doesn't give a damn if you're concerned about her or if you're sick. If you question her narrative or fake image at any time, your comment will be deleted and you'll be permanently silenced from her social media page.

 

[boredstrom]

Plaid scarves huh?

Well ok you guys aren't going to get that because you're not from Seattle. It's the same thing as how you guys don't get putting fruit on waffles because you're not from Belgium. A Seattle native like Elle knows how important plaid is to the city's history and culture. Thank goddess we have her to enlighten us and bring her unique background to the mainstream!

Those two new Chanel Boy bags are so ugly.
So is almost her entire handbag collection.
I know this is going to sound controversial, but a few years ago I was in Milan and I recall seeing an extremely stylish woman who stood out in the crowd and the reason I still remember her is that she was carrying a Michael Kors bag, yet she still looked absolutely amazing — she could pull off just about any bag because of her overall style, and no, I don’t think she was a model, just someone who knows how to dress. Meanwhile, every day on my way to work I see countless women with Louis Vuitton bags who dress pretty basic, and the bags do nothing for them. My point is that Elle is trying ever so hard to be stylish by buying designer bags, yet it’s not about the bag; it’s about the person carrying it. (Though in Elle’s case, a lot of her bags are ugly, too.)

Just catching up on the posts on the reflection of discussions about Elle’s physical image. I have not talked about her physical appearance before but I grew up in Asia and at least in my home country it was pretty common for people to discuss other people’s figure, weight etc. I don’t agree with it but want to mention that it’s more acceptable in some other countries or environments.

My issue with Elle, just like many commenters have pointed out before, is that she keeps portraying that fake image. One of those is that she kept insisting she is an extra small. As a true extra small, I’m about Elle’s height but probably weigh at least 20 pounds less than her. I am not proud of it. I have been regarded as a bit ‘too thin’ my whole life and it’s genetic so there are not that much I can do about it. But I know what a true extra small means and looks and weighs and she is not one. Imagine all the young girls out there who have similar body type as hers and are influenced by her to squeeze themselves into a size 0 and feel frustrated and self-doubting when they find the look is actually not flattering or those size 0 clothes do not fit. She just can’t be truthful to her viewers, or herself.

Edit: this post is not meant to criticize her body figure or to say she’s fat. As other people have mentioned many times before, she is not fat. And I am one of the small group of people actually think she looks attractive when she’s all dolled up. It’s her personality, snootiness, pretentiousness and fakeness that annoy me.

 

[Juliezzz]

On an unrelated note, I have to say, this forum is SO much more fun to follow than Elle’s YouTube channel. Comments here are so spot on and witty.

Innocent sub: “I’ve been very sick, and it seems like lots of things have changed in your life during my time recuperating. Since you’ve deleted all vlogs chronicling those changes, and just expect us all to accept the giant gaps in time with no explanation, I’m curious about what has happened, as any human being living in the real world would be. I’m so sorry I’m so behind and couldn’t find the strength to keep up with all the changes you’ve experienced.”

Elle: “No one cares that you’ve been sick, especially not me. I will not even acknowledge your health, and the only reason I’m responding is to tell you to stop prying and nosing around in things I’ve myself voluntarily made public for over a decade. They’re now private, catch up you inferior peon. ”

I can't believe she didn't express any sort of concern for the follower's health. What a self-absorbed b*tch.

I think The Dolls™ weren't even graced with the pearl monstrosities. I think she made them some earrings with clusters of some semi-precious stones such as turquoises.

I remember those earrings! She’s so cheap. And those earrings were really ugly.
Just watched her handbag collection. What a depressing and dated collection. I am guilty for having lots of handbags myself and love watching handbag collections videos on YouTube. I find most handbag collection videos cheerful but her new video just made me feel sad to see the condition of her bags and how dated they are. Who would have thought sadness would be one of the feelings after watching a simple YouTube handbag collection video. But I have to admit she does look relatively better in the new video. No more bursting into tears the next second vibes (or she’s hiding it better now).

What does her "it is never too late to start over" comment in her succeed section mean?

She's not old, both my dad and aunt got pushed into early retirement in their 50s. Both of them are engineers and it is hard to get a full time specialised engineering job at that age. It took my aunt nearly 5 years to get an engineering job without having to move. My dad is having similar issues, sooo her "starting over" talk just seemed a little naive maybe? I know people in their 50s in my field have issues getting jobs as well after also being let go for being too expensive.

So is this her saying despite moving and what not she's actually succeeded? What does that even mean? Is she changing careers? Did she get a job? Is she going back to school? Did she land a rich guy? I feel like she's trying to brag but doesn't want to go back on her "keeping it private"

I think she's just trying to convince her viewers and herself that her whole Vancouver to middle of nowhere Florida to Seattle move (with interim Hawaii stays in between) wasn't a total clusterf*** and that she's just finding a new direction in life. A broken engagement, getting dumped by at least two guys after that (that radiologist and Dean), and extended unemployment probably doesn't look or feel great.

There is a disclaimer that I read into every post here i.e. any criticism of body shape, size, looks; lifestyle; tastes; and interests are Elle-specific and not related to any other person, living or deceased.

I have 0 qualms about criticizing her cankles, because they stand in opposition to the lies that she's feeding us about her active lifestyle. I am sure there are rare exceptions out there, but I've not seen one active person with cankles. My average body is the result of my (relatively) inactive lifestyle. I have no problem owning up to it. I hike 20km once a week and apart from short walks on other days, I am not as active as I used to be before Covid. I am getting back into gear, but I don't feel the need to pretend to be super active or fit when that's not true for me right now. I wish Elle would be as honest about her current reality. She can't be real even as the world is going to shit...

Why do I get the vibe that she's pretending to be this hiking obsessed, granola, PNW sporty girl in order to take photos for her dating profile to catch her next victim?

Eleanor Florence didn't do it all those years in Vancouver, which has pretty much the same climate as Seattle with equally if not more beautiful hiking locations nearby, because she always had a man and probably didn't feel the need.

Agree that any rude comments I make unintentionally or otherwise in this thread regarding looks are purely directed at Elle, who thinks she's a beautiful princess and everyone here is a jealous hater.
