More than money we as the human race need to think about our actions and the consequences of them.Not saying the donation is suddenly going to fix the Oz fires, just saying that every little thing we can all do would help. As opposed to doing nothing. I'm certainly not perfect myself but I don't take 2 or 3 flights a month or have 70 designer handbags so I guess it's all relative
Victoria can and should do more, no doubt.
I haven't donated to help the firefighters yet as I'm waiting for some money to go into my account. Those images are pretty heartbreaking. Definitely should motivate a lot of people to make changes.
Yes, I commend her for donating... but honestly, it was just crass to share that and she likely was just hoping Celeste Barber would reshare Vic to her large amount of followers so ITF got some PR anyway.I think we can all agree Victoria isn't little miss sustainability. But to play devil's advocate for a moment, she did donate. And I HATE the term virtue signalling with a passion. Whether you telegraph kindness or you don't, a good deed is a good deed. And I would never bring anyone down for that. Its infinitely better than doing shite all. The fires in Oz are fucking terrible and anyone who does anything to help has my respect, regardless of why they are doing it. The firefighters will still get the money.
I just don't think it occurs to Victoria how her very career in fashion and all of the 'amazing opportunities it gives her' is actually pretty shitty for the environment.
I would hope to see her take the train more often, give back the Bentley in favour of a low emission car etc. But given the ways in which she has changed in the last couple of years I doubt it.
Armchair activism is great for influencers to look as though they are “doing something”. But really what does it achieve? Yes raising money is great and hopefully this will help to pay to treat animals and re build houses but it’s not going to stop the fires. Or deal with the causes because the causes are so big now and influencers dont want to talk about the wastefulness and environmental impacts of their industry.Yes, I commend her for donating... but honestly, it was just crass to share that and she likely was just hoping Celeste Barber would reshare Vic to her large amount of followers so ITF got some PR anyway.
Personally, I donate to numerous charities (heck I also work for one) all the time. So does everyone I know. Do we flog about it as a pat on our back? No.
More sadly, donating in these cases doesn’t do much. I hate to be a downer. But until governments start prioritizing the environment over capitalism, there isn’t much the WWF and other worthy organizations can do to prevent these major climate catastrophes from continuing.
Also, let’s not forget, we’re discussing Victoria. She’s the girl who is SELLING FOR 80% PROFIT endless crap (that’s horrible for the environment) she was given to for free and donating a mere 20% to charity. She could tell PR peeps to stop sending her stuff she doesn’t need...but we just witnessed her publicly asking for even MORE Pr handouts she doesn’t need when addressing her management change. She’s also boasting on social media about her Bentley. Her 70 handbags. Her endless shoes. It never ends.
In Conclusion: Miss PHD is maximizing on the social interest in Australia atm to make herself look good. If she really cared, she’d really change her lifestyle. But given how rudely she claps back at anyone who asks her about that...I highly doubt she’ll be making a serious lifestyle change anytime soon.
Did she specify the amount she donated?I called it virtue signalling as that is what it was. Her donation was pretty meagre, we all know how much she makes, how many freebies she gets ergo how little she actually pays for and therefore she could have donated a lot more.
Also she made a superficial gesture, the donation is pretty pointless when you think about how large her carbon footprint is. I have no time for PC bullshit like hers. If she cared that much she would along with her donation have talked about how she’s going to change her lifestyle but no she made her little donation, made herself feel good and got some approval for it and carried on with doing everything that contributes to climates that cause such fires. Sorry but I have zero respect for her.

I think she would struggle to get a university job now- research and publishing is the most important thing for getting a University job and although she has experience it’s not necessarily in the things they might want for lecturing. Lecturer jobs start at around 30-40K and that’s not going to keep her and Alex in their Tacky houseI've always thought of Victoria being back as a lecturer in a University. With her PhD and an "impressive CV" in her name, pretty sure she can bring in some buck being a teacher.
(Can someone explain how did Victoria got her PhD in such a short time? I've always wondered how does the UK system works, since I want to study there for grad school.)
Her shoe video just shows you why it’s all well and good getting gifted everything but actually what’s the point if your walk in wardrobes aren’t fit for purpose? You have over 150 pairs of shoes but didn’t take into consideration the depth needed for the custom drawers you had made?
I just had a quick whiz through the video, my god that wardrobe is designed shit. The shoes are too long for the storage drawers. I've seen better shoe storage at Ikea.Her shoe video just shows you why it’s all well and good getting gifted everything but actually what’s the point if your walk in wardrobes aren’t fit for purpose?

Stephanie Lange put together 3 huge giveaway lots, and to qualify to win you must donate only a minimum of $2 AUD to her GoFundMe for Red Cross Australia and Wires wildlife Rescue. The total is now over $20,000 US. Red Cross is problematic due to their overhead and Executive salaries and I wonder how much gets to the front line, but I still support them and donate blood. Also, how much does GoFundMe keep?She posted a donation page saying she donated £750
