It's super-cheap to buy space in an advertorial in Vogue and then you can say your product/book/company/blog is 'as featured in Vogue' for ever more. I've been quoted in Vogue, it was lifted straight from an article in the DM. They seem to like a bit of low-input content. No idea if other glossies are the same.And I'm sorry, but bleeping Vogue?

There was discussion recently about JMs rabbit so I am convincing myself this is not off topic. This video of a heroic rabbit just came up in my YouTube recommendations. It's two years old so you may have seen it already!
How much might one particular urchin be paid by Vogue?

I had a little think about Jack and her origin story and when you actually look at it, the way she behaves now has it's roots long before "the poverty".
Jack grew up believing the false narrative that people on benefits have it easy. She believed the trope that single mothers get free houses, money thrown at them, free food, and get everything for doing nothing. She was taken in by all the right wing lies and thought her life as a stay at home single mum would be just peachy. I wonder if this is the sort of bullshit that was bandied about at home, with reference to the parents of the children they fostered.
She walked away from her well paid job because she thought she would get money for nothing. It came as a shock when she was confronted with the reality, that life as an unemployed single mum is not easy, it is really difficult. She couldn't get over the reality of what it was truly like. That is why it hit her so hard. She is still shocked that the right wing lies were not true. She feels betrayed by those people she believed growing up. (it could even explain why she was reluctant to ask for their help)
It is why "the poverty", as short lived as it was, still defines her to this day. It was not what she was led to believe would happen.
Off to have a quick skim of the last few pages.

Oh Lordy, there's yet another rehash of the Origin Story written by Jack herself for Vogue. I tried to read it all, but I had to stop to do a small wee in my pants at the first mention of fire service traaaaaaazers and I found myself unable to carry on.
Please, go on without me, ninnies.
“We Should Recognise One Another As Human Beings”: Anti-Poverty Campaigner Jack Monroe On The Realities Of Going Hungry

Both these pics are in that article. Really? Why?
The first 567 words are almost entirely irrelevant to the actual issue but I guess Jack willOh Lordy, there's yet another rehash of the Origin Story written by Jack herself for Vogue.

ETA to add this gem I just noticed:
Warning: May contain writing issues.
Poverty? Vogue? Traazers?
We aren't imagining are we? She did 100% say she would chose the highest paid interviews and donate all the fees to Magic Breakfasts?
So there has been The Guardian (twice), Vogue - would she get paid for TV appearances like GMTV?

Just had a closer look at her 'recipe chaos' photo. One of the recipes is for a pear and marrow tart. Is it just me, or does that sound absolutely rank?
Being 90% vegan, I'd assumed that Jack was referring to bone marrow, than garden marrow. You never know though
On a grunka, but my partner does the same thing. I used to swim for a club so I'm pretty proficient. Went on holiday with him for the first time... I have never ever seen someone literally sink when they don't move their limbs. He just lies on the bottom of the pool rather than float, it's really quite bizarre. I tried holding him up and as soon as I let go he just sank!
He can swim though if he actually swims, not just lies there sinking. So she is capable of swimming. Another lie exposed by a mithering ninny and her sinking partner!
I think you might very well have hit the nail on the head there. It explains so much of her attitude towards the poors, the mummy and daddy issues, the struggling to cope, the not so closet Tory-ness, and a lot of other things.
It must further enrage the vegans that when you go to the recipe post on her page for the sausage slop abomination, the suggested recipes at the bottom of the page are all non vegan sausage monstrosities with pics that look frighteningly like Brenda's bangers.
Weirdly the Vogue article gives me hope because she has literally nothing new to bring to the conversation. She obviously sees herself as relevant but the more she pipes up the more apparent it is that she is anything but.
"Fake poverty origin story rehashed in surprising places"

Have such a mental image
Good to have you around again!
“I’ll look in my emails”.....but not to do any actual work!
In Jack’s likes. Surely this is sheer stupidity-they’d just fall down?

This squig from the LM insta is NOT taking this lying down and has clearly done their research.

I'm not trying to look shame, but.....she has crazy eyes. How the hell does she think that pic is flattering when the smile doesn't even reach her damn eyes?
