Jack Monroe #171 Just discovered her and think she’s horrid

[MaineCoonMama]

Miffy?

I was taught to say Dinky. When we moved to Australia a kid asked me if I wanted a Dinky on his bike. I was like WTF and ran home. I later found out dinky is Aussie slang for sitting on the handlebars, AKA donkey or double.

Words are words are words, until you're 7 years old and traumatised.

Ok - I think I have it figured out. She has put “What Three Words” on one of her many high end phones and has had a play with it.

Also - the chap about the autism book...he has a Patreon. They ALL have Patreons, don’t they. I have two debts of gratitude to this website. The camaraderie and humour, with intelligence and kindness, is second to no other niche corner of the internet. I have also been cured of spunking money on GoFundMe/Patreon etc. They have lost all credibility in my eyes. Even Captain Tom only got a few quid off our family last year because my daughter chipped in!

I was thinking about this earlier today. Jack is so awful in her grifting, but she is not alone.

I saw that someone had put up a post on Facebook with some memes and funny tweets about the Suez Canal drama. They didn't create the memes or write the tweets, just put them into an album and shared it...with their cash app ID. Seriously, you think I'm gonna pay you for collating memes on Facebook?

Minny, Miffy, Dinky - is this the new cast of Made in Chelsea?

An iced dinky is a cake in Liverpool. It has very thick pink icing and a fake smartie on a large cupcake.
This could be the origins of fanny cake

Did we cover Mikado biscuits when Jack was Irish that time? They are outrageous looking!

I had mine done last week for the first time in five months, and it felt amazing. I asked them to cut it slightly shorter than normal so it'll last if we get more restrictions...

There was a girl in there, about 19 or 20, getting a drastic change. She came in with long hair...I watched as the hairdresser hacked off the front of it and shaped it all nicely around her face, like a shaggy indie pixie cut, really gorgeous. I was waiting for him to do the back of her hair, but he put down the scissors and reached for the hairdryer and I realised to my horror that she was getting a full-on mullet. I almost wanted to stage an intervention. Don't take style advice from MacGyver!

Still...better than a reverse rat's tail, at least?

Oh this hairstyle is totally on-trend again at the minute, called the shag haircut (I know this because I keep down with the kids by watching too many TikTok vids). Some people really pull it off well and it can look fab. While I'm on the TikTok subject, Jack is DEFINITELY watching them too. I've seen so many vids where I'm like 'ah, that's why Jack has been mentioning this' etc. Right down to making hot drinks in the slow cooker. They're up to all sorts on there, but she tweets like she came up with the ideas. ETA see also the drying your hair with tshirts and leggings, it's the curly-girl method, was a huge trend on TT, she's only about a year or two late for it

She also admitted to it at one point when she was talking about making the cheese quesadilla thing, or whatever it was a good while back. She's getting her personality from TT right now. See also: plants and cottagecore

Spoiler: Off topic hair chat

mullets are back in fashion now. Along with flared jeans. I feel old

Think how Jane Fonda must feel! Not sure if her Klute 'do counts as a mullet, but here it is!

Spoiler: Really annoying hair

My hair is fine but "there's a lot of it" as my hairdresser mum used to say. It also has a bend to it, not quite a wave, and goes its own damn way, regardless of any styling products or tools. It was bright orange when I was born then went blonde, and then a reddish-with-sun mid boring brown. I was rather excited when I started getting really white at the temples with a few strands in the rest of it and rather wavy. At last I could just put a dye through without bleaching so I could have just a few strands of pink or purple or aquamarine or red or whatever!

Refuses point blank to take any colour at all in the grey hair. Bah. I don’t want natural colour roots and strands, I want weird colours without bleach!

My mother only really went white in her 80s so I've a while of boredom before then.

It’s a croggy where I come from.

Multiple contradictory origin stories? How very on-brand!

8 years worth of pics of hair history, available now from the very top of her Twitter

jack now: hur hur, I've stopped dyeing it
me: when did you start?

[MaineCoonMama]

That undercut is so scruffy. Why didn't anyone tell her?

ETA forgot she has no friends, carry on.

 

[Bobtheknob]

Isn’t That Man’s shed more like a barn - him with all his NOT RENTED country estate. Do you think Jack ever turns up on Southend Pier and tries to get into the Friday tapings?

Yes, absolutely!

Maybe Jack can divert the funds from the hair dye to actually pay her rent or bump the food shop up to £25.

 

[hollowhusk]

Tbh we've seen before that she doesn't always dress for the occasion. The face tune looks like she's wearing a mask Hannibal Lecter (sp?) style

I'm seeing my grandparents this week for the first time in 6 months and I'm very excited

It's for smaller hands, my mum used to have a lot of women's garden tools because she was tiny and they were easier for her to use.

Not sure if someone else has mentioned this but I just had a thought about the mysterious blue kitchen. Last time lockdown was slightly lifted she went straight to her "second home".

What if her happy place is... Scotland?

Nope, you would have to be extra stupid to come to Scotland right now. We are not even allowed to go between regions and police are definitely fining people for breaking regulations.

This is Susan/Boudicca/Bunny. She's planted herself on me when Pooh needs a break, haha!

Oh my goodness!! So pretty like a princess.

Also - the chap about the autism book...he has a Patreon. They ALL have Patreons, don’t they.

Yes! I sometimes feel like I’m the only person in the world without a podcast, or tiktok, or a Patreon. I’m so behind the times, I should really ask people to PayPal me some pity money #Jackstyle ...




hope all well with the ill cabal members, and that @MancBee is recovering well

 

[Silver Linings]

Charm offensive Jack would like everyone to know she was up in the middle of the night.
