Unlike Sophie Shohet who is a car person, has genuine luxury cars (Bentley etc), and can afford it. Agree with you. I financed my “luxury” car (Lincoln MKC) because the financing helps build/maintain my credit and I can afford it. There are more luxury cars as a Lincoln is still a Ford but all the bells and whistles and the smooth ride makes it a luxury car to me. I got a stellar deal on the purchase price. It’s also in a jewel tone ruby red with beige interior!!! Previously I had a used 1994 Ford Explorer that I purchased with very low mileage and drove for 6 years. Before that I had a used Toyota Camry. I didn’t expect to get a luxury car but my heart sang when I saw it. I’m not a car or luxury person but it makes me really happy when I see it/drive it. Elle only wants a luxury car to brag.
Cut the umbilical chord!
I really wish she would move back to Vancouver and spread her germs there, instead. I don't know why, but I'm still a little surprised she's as stupid and gross as she is, with this blatant gold digging You Can Finish In Me bullshit.
I can't believe I actually thought she was a relatively intelligent and decent woman years ago, but after all the rudeness, obnoxious public behavior, scamming her poor customers and trying to scam Seattlites during a pandemic, my opinion of her could barely get lower at this point. I don't even think she's attractive anymore, and don't look at her social media because her pufferfish smirk makes me feel ill 
Welcome!Well, I've been lurking (first on GG) for around two years now believe it or not, so I guess now is as good a time as any to say hello!
I was never really a fan of Elle's per se, but I would hate watch some of her videos a few years ago. As someone who likes to support small businesses I thought I would treat myself to some of her earrings since she sure made it sound like she knew what she was doing. They arrived in a bubble envelope in the little velvet pouch she shows off all the time with no box or anything to protect the jewellery (as if a bubble mailer would be sufficient to protect real pearls?) Some of the pearls either detached in transit, or were never properly attached to begin with. I emailed her immediately with pictures asking what we should do about this (giving her the opportunity to do the right thing and expecting her to be appropriately horrified/embarrassed) and she wrote back and said it would be a minor fix if I were to take it to a jeweler. Obviously I responded saying that she should be offering to ship them back at her cost for repair, or offering to cover the cost of the repairs. She played the victim immediately saying that small businesses like her have to protect themselves from customer taking advantage of them which is why she doesn't offer returns. She also claimed this policy was because they were 'handmade' to which I responded there was a difference between 'handmade' and 'custom made'. When I mentioned it doesn't say that on her website that she doesn't accept returns she pointed me to her 'my story' page or whatever nonsense that is. Something rubbed me the wrong way about this so I used the Internet Archive and found out that she had updated the page to include her 'no returns' policy the day I pointed that out! I screen captured this and sent the evidence to my credit card company, with whom I had filed a dispute. Got my money back and still have her partially disassembled earrings. Since then I found GG and spent a LOT of time catching up
Side note, I work in university admissions/administration, but have an MLIS degree--the only time I mention that is to say "I'm a librarian by education" (for example, if someone mentions a particular character trait that might jive with it), I don't claim to BE a librarian!
If Elle has a girl she’ll be named Pearl Serendipity
Eww I imagine she’s a terrible kisser with all that saliva and phlegm!
From what Smelle said in her older videos, her grandmother was happily married. Smelle wears both grandparents' wedding rings every day.I still think she dumped Rick. My sister's bf was a total loser and they were seriously considering getting married. Everyday my mom would casually mention it. When she came home for some time, my mom made it a point to remind her very often what she was missing out. He was so dang cheap, like his gifts were a free craiglist plastic table and a super cheap bracelet, my mom somehow brought those up casually. My mom still went along to meet his family and whatever else was involved, but she did not stop leaving these subtle (yet strong) hints. Finally it hit my sister how much of a cheapskate he was who was mooching off of her and she left him lmao Although she dumped him, it did take her some time to process and she was hurt. One thing about Ginette is that she seems supportive and yet she can get through to Elle, even if it's pulling the trust fund $$ if she marries Rick haha Once Rick is gone, Elle has money again
Side note, the Lecocq ladies seem to have it bad in love....her, her mom, her grandmother, etc.
Maybe she’s legitimately busy.
I always why she even tries to do vlogmas, especially when it’s obvious she doesn’t like it. I know she just does it to make money but if you don’t want to showcase your life (which is the whole point of VLOGmas) and if you’re not into it, then why bother with it? She is better off uploading random vlogs at her leisure (cutting out the -mas) all the while providing better, carefully edited content. Instead her viewers are subjected to random snippets that aren’t even cohesive and aside from being badly edited, they’re incredibly boring. Like we really need to hear you rant about cars and open your advent calendars. 
It is not hard at all to spend time getting to know someone you’re dating via texts, phone calls, and FaceTime during the pandemic. I met my (now) boyfriend this Summer and we spent 2 weeks getting to know each other before making the decision to meet in person. I get tested regularly for work and he hadn’t been around anyone except his parents since March (they were quarantining at their summer home).You know...I shouldn’t be shocked but I still am. That’s ghastly.
I know this might come off as a surprise to some but there was a time (long ago) I held out hope that Elle would change right after she broke up with Joe. Yet time and again she fails at improving herself. On top of that, she is dating excessively even though we’ve been told multiple times to social distance and limit non-essential outings to control the virus.
Look, I get that it’s difficult to be alone especially if your main goal in life is to be married and taken care of but is it really that hard to do FaceTime or Zoom dates and practice being discerning with the type of men you’re meeting online???
) about all the deets but life isn’t about that. It is definitely possible to have a quality relationship right now if you do it the safe and respectful way.
Elle is a fairweather hiker and runner. Running a 5k and hiking once a year hardly qualifies you a hiker or a runner. I have tons of friends who are on the same boat and would NEVER spend $50k+ on a vehicle for "hiking" Elle needs new shoes and a new backpack before she carriers her nasty ass up mountains because her little non ankle supporting running shoes will not do for hikes most of the season here. She would know that if she was a real hiker in BC that most of the mountains are covered in snow except two-three months out of the year. Eleanor is a JOKE and a shell of a human that adapts to whatever people who wants to affiliate with.
Stop fucking and making out with men in Seattle there is a Pandemic!!!
So your friend can see Smelle posing on her balcony?I know where Elle lives and that’s not her apartment. It’s a small world and one of my friends lives in her apartment complex. It’s definitely not a luxury apt
I agree. She chose a city that is a bit more casual and laid back because she thinks she has sa better chance of shining there.
Thank you so much for this insight! It seems like the gist of our speculations was spot on, especially in regards to these points:
