Fleur De Force #6 To Buy or not Dubai

[bigreputation]

As suspected her faux anxiety about restrictions easing and travel on her stories recently and asking people whether they are going away this year was just to set up her upcoming trip abroad as she's posted in an airport.

Someone has to make that their profile picture on here

You rang?

Fleur East will not have decided on the cover wording. I agree with FDF they shouldn’t use it if she has it trademarked but there is a way to deal with this kind of thing and going after Fleur East is not that way.

Sorry but I can’t see Mike being disappointed that they had a girl! He clearly loves River and I agree that Fleur feeds her a good variety of foods.
it’s one thing to be cross at Fleur for travelling during the pandemic but to criticise her for not having a boy for Mike is just cruel.

#Fleur de Force #7 - Mansion's a bore, so Fleur is on tour, nobody's buying her act any more

I wish Fleur would stop trying to be 'edgy'. Maybe someone else could pull off that dress and leather jacket but I'd love to see her in something like a cream blazer and cigarette pant suit or a well fitting mini dress.

She has a great figure but she is swamped by her clothes (and hair but we all know she'll never cut it properly )

It's disgusting that she's gone after Fleur and not the magazine. There are only about 15 comments on the magazine's post showing the front cover and loads on FE's.

Also - it's in print now, you absolute moron. What are they gonna do, sharpie out all the cover lines?

I know it's is awful to have miscarriages. But I still don't think speculating if someone is pregnant is actually that mean. She clearly doesn't listen to feedback she gets about Dubai, fake sustainability or faux BLM support. So she can just not listen to people talking about pregnancy. People will always talk.

It is mean. In this case people commenting may actually know that Fleur is having difficulties.
It’s also boring AF & I say that as someone who loves pregnancy, babies etc. Is she, isn’t she. Seriously people, boundaries.

 

[Smca53]

She’s holding comments for approval

God forbid a viewer has anything less than completely glowing to say, eh?!

I am a dog person and it disgust me to see her filthy dogs on her white bed linen. That bed must reek.

Me too. And that time she gave Piglet a bath in kitchen sink.

Fleur's hygiene is generally questionable - from not washing new clothes before wearing them, having dirty fingernails, sleeping with dogs, walking around in shoes (I am European and we never walk in our shoes in our homes), to wearing all those dresses and fancy clothing around the grounds and house.. I have always imagined their house as smelly

 

[Smca53]

Is the tide already shifting to giving her the benefit of the doubt because she posted a picture of her and her kid?

Honestly. We already know she’s a manipulative liar, why would anyone doubt that she would be willing to use her fertility issues to get sympathy? Constant hinting at things being hard, woe is me, etc.

How does Fleur own 'fleur de force?' Isn't it just French for flower power?

If she has it trademarked for use under certain circumstances, she effectively owns it in that way. It's not that no one can ever use the phrase, but I imagine she has it trademarked for use with cosmetics, lifestyle, and in print which is why she's annoyed with the magazine.

Ah yes, it's the best choice for your child to only socially interact with the same social class and, by total coincidence, exclusively white people. It has nothing to do with "what's best for your child", it's purely based on separating social classes and keeping up the divide between groups. Nothing more. River will grow up in that system for the sole purpose of finding equally rich friends and a rich partner to marry later on. This is not about her education or actual well-being. Nor is it for any other kid that's being sent to private school or boarding schools. At least one of the women I worked for in London was honest about it; she and her husband spent all their money on their kids' private school fees so they could form friendships in higher social circles. I remember her telling me (in front of one of the kids) that there were "many important children" in the daughter's class. Meaning, they were the kids of celebrities, politicians and other wealthy people.

Having said all that, it's the least surprising thing about Fleur and Mike that they would send their daughter to an expensive private school. What else would they do? :-D But I think it's totally ok to voice one's opinion on that

Yes, this 100%! I have family that send their kids to private school purely so they can make beneficial friendships that will set them up for life. The kids only socialise with others from their classes, they go to the same extra curricular activities (usually run through the school) so that they still only mix with their “own”. The kids of said family members are actually looked down on because they’re nowhere near as wealthy as the rest of the families and they’re seen as infiltrators in to this system that’s been set up to protect the wealthy.

I genuinely believe that is private schools were either abolished or taxed properly, public schools would be better funded. For one if they were abolished, the wealthy would suddenly care about the standard of public schooling and I’d bet my life savings that it would suddenly become exceptional. Or that they would find another way to separate their kids from the less fortunate.

I’m always a bit disappointed when families support the private school system and the continuation of this class divide but, to be honest, I never expected any less from the Bell’s lol.

Actually washing all the brand new clothes before using them is the right thing to do, it's full of chemicals, filth and let's be honest the vast majority is stored in doubtful places.

 

[powerkitten90]

Now THAT is a name I haven’t heard in a long time! Did she end up adopting a kid? I think when she was trying to adopt a kid at the start , and iirc, she was adamant on adopting an Asian kid because god told her to of something’s, was when I stopped following.

no from what I've read was that the agency she was adopting from wouldn't let her or wouldn't allow her to post pics or video of the child for the first year (I think someone said it was in their policy) so she & her husband decided adopting wasn't for them.

 

[Vixen88]

I actually think it’s quite nice. I know what you mean that it’s nicer to be seen. But people change their room decor every few years, this way they’ll always keep this, no matter what is chose for the rest of the room.

 

[Mathilderose99]

I think they always have lots of people in and around the house and she might want to look somewhat put together (as the lady of the house lol). As mentioned, there are cleaners, gardeners, nannies (I'm pretty sure they have multiple of each) and I always suspected a chef too, when Fleur isn't cooking on weekends to show for the vlogs. I don't think Fleur is someone these days who cooks every day for her family and herself. Weekends, yeah maybe, with Mike playing around with their pizza oven, but other than that no.
When I used to be a nanny in the UK, the mum would always (because it made her feel involved) put out clothes to wear for the kids after school/nursery and on weekends and they were always preppy too. Maybe just something done in wealthier (UK) circles :-D

I come from a very similar background to fleur, went to the same school & have mutual people we know in common & there is no way she has a chef or live in staff. (nanny or otherwise). Not saying they don't have help - nanny, cleaner, gardener etc but that's next level. she also regularly shows herself wearing sweats around the house

 

[dahlia13]

I guess if that happened they could just live in different wings of the mansion.

I did find it odd that Fleur referred to River as her 'one constant' with no mention of MDF.

Honestly,
I think they are far beyond the romantic point in their relationship. He is mostly baby daddy and Manor provider, from whom she'll happily runaway to business travels as soon as possible, like she always did. She thinks she is a settler, whereas she is definitely a reacher. Mike is a smug idiot himself too, but I doubt anyone else would put up with her.

 

[londongirl2001]

She's really something else. Instead of being (truly) transparent, something she always graciously accepts applause for, she lies again. Why at all mention when she last travelled? Just say you're going to Portugal, full stop. What's with this spiel AGAIN in order to seem relatable and as if she's in the same boat as everybody else, pandemic-wise?? What as asshole, honestly.

 

[londongirl2001]

I've just seen her IG stories from today and I think you could be right: her nostrils look quite big and so does the tip of her nose. I never really paid much attention to her nose before, though, so maybe it was always like this.

Question: would anyone have guessed Fleur had this done if she hadn't made a video about it?

As someone said upthread, she clearly missed getting praise for being so "transparent and honest", that's why she did it. She thinks, before anyone notices, she'll talk it about it, while graciously accepting a round of applause for that. Only Dubai was and is off-limits, strange how that works ;-)
