Alice and her crappy creations. How she can go about day to day life without drowning in shame is an enigma

Not sure if this has been posted. Was visiting my elderly parents and seen this in a red top newspaper…No mention of Alice or any of the drama…

Thanks for this! 😁How very refreshing to see no mention of her in the headline!

Glaring at you DM & others.

This is obviously the Cog71 Trilogy of autobiographies. Audiobook version read by Charles Dance!

By the way, did we ever get the story behind her calling Ioan "Coglet"? Or did she call him Baby Angel?
🀣 seem to remember something about predictive text coming up with it instead of something else?! I might be remembering wrong.
Calling our sleuth @welp!

Regarding Alice's comments on Pam and Tommy, some thoughts. Her post had ulterior motives, as everyone talked about in their comments on here..

BUT I watched Pam and Tommy. The first episode was great because it was Seth Rogan's character's story in the beginning. I was intrigued. Then the Pam and Tommy beginning romance came on for a few episodes and it felt like a parody of them. It was shocking how Lily could really resemble Pam. I just felt like it was just an imitation of them. And at times their wild hooking up in the beginning was like a tongue-in-cheek, long-form '80s rock video, done intentionally that way. Although, they did party hard and married within four days of meeting each other. LOL And Tommy was insane back in the day.

I was getting bored and wasn't going to finish it. But the Seth Rogan character, Rand Gauthier's story (the electrician who had stolen the tape) took front stage again, this time with Nick Offerman's character being introduced at some point. I adore Nick, and he was transformed, not recognizable as his Parks and Recreation character. Seth and Nick were brilliant. I loved that angle of the story and kept it interesting. Then Pam and Tommy started becoming real people in subsequent episodes and you really felt for all that Pam was going through. Lily did a fantastic acting job as they fleshed out all of the things happening to Pam. and so many more layers to her as a human being I loved Sebastian Stan as Tommy as you begin to see more sides to Tommy also. There was real love between them. You saw his tremendous support of her career. But then you saw his massive anger. They never really showed abuse until it was alluded to towards the end and in the closing credits when updating on the lives of all concerned.

These events happened in the 1990s, but the series was filmed like '70s' films were, which was brilliant. I loved that. I also loved how music was used throughout this whole series. That was bonkers at times and inspired. It was so eclectic and fascinating. It was like another character in the movie because music was used so predominantly in scenes. A lot of '90s music is used, but a ton of music from all eras is also used: Chicago, Shirley Bassey, Iggy Pop, Nine Inch Nails, Mama Cass Elliott. I had never heard the Dusty Springfield song, What's It Gonna Be. Wow!!!! It is amazing. They even used Dolly Parton at the end. You Get What You Give by New Radicals another true highlight.

It also highlighted how Motley Crue's 80s' hair metal music was passe and shows how he was not adjusting to a different musical world and feeling passed by, which I felt was interesting in the mini series, as that's huge for so many artists when the music scene changes so radically. There's some great scenes addressing that, like when he's in a bar and Sleater-Kinney music is being played, or when their usual studio is booked to Third Eye Blind by Motley Crue's own label, relegating them to a lesser studio.

I didn't really feel it was exploitative of Pam once you watch the entire mini series. You gain so much sympathy for her as a human being and a driven person in the business but men putting her in a box, but shows her strength. And it shows how absolutely devastating the sex tape was for her as the nightmare continued on in the era of the internet and what it could do just emerging. Unchartered territory for porn and a stolen celebrity sex tape and the exploitation of their private home movie and unable to contain the events as they snowballed and the sleezy porn industry taking advantage. I felt the whole series as a whole was brilliantly scripted and shot. I didn't know Lark Bell directed a few episodes. She directed episode 4. I loved that episode. Overall, the series shows that real people were involved and the ramifications to Pam especially when that tape went more and more and more viral. Most people really felt they put it out there themselves. This quells that notion for people who didn't know the whole story and timeline. But it also is a fascinating series in the way it was written with so many characters and so many dynamics to characters. Anyone else would have had a lot to say about this series, except Alice it seems.

As usual, Alice is shallow. She posted one thing about the show: Lily James and her acting. That was solely because it fit into her agenda, as we all know. Because anybody else would have been dissecting the complete series, as there was so much to unpack.

To those asking in previous thread... who was shaking Prince Andrew's hand, before Ioan's... it was Glenn Close. At the movie premiere for 102 Dalmations.
If poncy Drew had shaken my hand, I would have lopped it off and thrown it at him. Not joking.

Cute little article, but the amount of people who say they’re β€˜learning Welsh’ when they first come to Wales is endless. Come back to me when she can hold a convo, and then I’ll be impressed πŸ€“

ETA: This was in response to the article that @teabob kindly shared.

A post about arrested emotional development and handbags.

Looking at Alice's bags, it is clear from the bows, the frills, the altogether 'too much at once-ness' that she is designing bags like a 9 year old.

Narcissists typically emotionally stop developing young....but younger than that...hence the tantrums, the violence. Alice's tantrums and violence and rage are nothing compared to most narcs.

Alice is altogether more manipulative, and very sexually focused. She's less like a rage filled thwarted toddler and much more like a precocious tween who consistently misjudged her power and is fascinated by her impact on others. Like said tween, she is desperate for praise from the grown ups (the blue ticks, the press) and has a very limited ability to understand long term consequences. She is genuinely confused when her blunt manipulations don't work.

The subtlety of Bianca and Ioans responses will be lost on her leaving her very vulnerable: she has a crude understanding of how the world works. It's notincorrect but its limited and lacks nuance.

Her day in court will be all a 9 year old girl thinks you need to win. She won't be out of control but very much in performance mode.

Sadly for her, her fundamental assumptions about what motivates human beings and significantly how and why relationships of all kinds work beyond the crude mutual benefit level, mean her performance will hit all the wrong notes.

Also the handbags are tit.

If anyone is interested in perusing Alice's fashion choices over the years, there are some great photos of her on a website called Zimbia.
I've always been interested in fashion, (not that you'd know that if you saw my wardrobe πŸ˜‚), but Alice's dress sense really fascinates me, I don't know how she can get it so wrong so often. Especially when you know that she once had access to the finest couture that money can buy.

This is a classic example of her getting it almost right. The colour suits her, but why is the jacket so tight? Quelle horreur Alice!!

In the interests of fairness, just to show that Ioan is no stranger to the occasional sartorial disaster himself. Wtaf is he wearing on his feet?? 🀣🀣

Also...credit where it's due, she looks like a freaking goddess here! It's a catwalk appearance, so someone else has styled her, but she was a model in a previous life, you'd think she would have picked up some tips.

It’s not just that the jacket is tight. It’s the way she cuts her body - tight short jacket over the striped print dress over leggings cut at the ankle. And that bag is too big for what she’s attending and matching red to red is hard at the best of times. A small black clutch would have worked better. It’s all too fussy and doesn’t flatter her. Not the cuts, the layering or the colours. She’s tall and was thin and could have worn almost anything. Just not these awful layers. The orange clutch with the long dress is too big. Even on the runway, that outfit is overwhelming her and looks too long.
