Sorry to be a useless ninny but can anyone point me to the 'bit gauche, darling' clip? I'd love to see it!
ETA Ignore me, I was forensic and painstakingly found it in the wiki!
Sorry to be a useless ninny but can anyone point me to the 'bit gauche, darling' clip? I'd love to see it!Other ninnies have made the point before, but it's trying and failing to reconstruct a style which belongs to the sort of people who have never bought (or chucked out) a piece of furniture because it's all handed been down through generations. Dog hair on every surface. Filthy.
I was reading the wiki in my menopausal insomnia last night and watched the "bit gauche, darling" clip for the first time. Our Jackie's voice (and hair) is like a young Lady Diana Spencer then. She has no identity of her own, sadly.
I saw the blue ticker/writer’s tweet. It was directed at Russ and Superstanskii. I would have loved it to be Jack but he is a Jack superstan. It why unfollowed him (I do like my own echochamberIt's the Russ and Supertanskiii thing, not Jack, though I can see why you'd be confused. There's some detail about it over on the Russ thread.
A very exclusive one in Victoria, full of designer gear, sheepskin hat £75, cashmere coat £200Bare legs & boots is just unfathomable to me. All that ankle rubbing. Urrgh. Change your shoes or get ye some thermal tights
(off topic a bit but I live in a footballers wives type area & the current look in 40+ ladies is a flowery / bold maxi with Gucci/mcqueen sneakers and a denim or leather jacket. Even I do it for mum duty events as I don’t want to look out of place so end up conforming to some ridiculous mum uniform. It’s really stupid. Also; charity shop doesn’t always equal cheap. The ones around here are definitely more expensive than the equivalent new in Primark or Tesco. Not sure if it’s the same down south though.)
My god, Alexa Chung and Mulberry bags. Feel like I'm back in sixth form, sat in my room at my dad's house reblogging pictures of her on tumblr lmao.You wish. It was artfully styled with the £4.99 jolly warehouse skirt once (post's still on her twitter). I think it's an Elkington in oak. Much favoured by the likes of Alexa Cheung (sp?) at the time.
ETA: Here's Alexa with her bag. Also sans shoulder strap. @That Forensic Man retailed at £795 back in the day.
It's so hard to work out with her stories what is a lie and what is her stupidity. Was she genuinely hard up at one stage but she's stupid and reckless with money, so splurged it as soon as she had it? Or was it complete bullshit and she was never really skint? Either way, she claimed that she made these big purchases with book advances as investments, so she could flog them if ever skint again. So why then let your 'investment' piece become ruined through neglect? Probably because its bullshit and she doesn't want to admit she just likes expensive things, that's why.Holy fucking shit. I think I must be having an aneurysm.
What lunatic who has allegedly experienced such awful poverty which left their son hungry and themselves having to resort to sex work, not to mention the debts it brought with it all, would then spend £800 of their first book advance ON A FUCKING BAG?!!
How is she still not cancelled????!!!!!!! No one should ever take advice from this imbecilic charlatan.
I’ve got one for the list - don’t forget she signed up for Sarah Akwisombe’s Money & Manifesting course (£200 I believe) and also bought the evil eye necklace from her shop (I can’t remember the price, but it was tat-tastic!£
Great list, much Forensic! I’d like to add that there was a picture taken in one of her office spaces where you could see two laptops and one desktop. If memory serves me correctly, the desktop was an i Mac around £1.2k and one of the laptops a Macbook Pro, around £900. Maybe can remember the pic? There were a lot of post it notes stuck to a wallchart and a messy desk and one laptop was half hidden under piles of paper - but all three were partially in shot and we all spoke about why she needed all three when she uses a phone to do most of her work. Over a year ago I’d guess, nearer a year and a half, possibly more.
I can’t remember if I said it here or not but I genuinely bought a full bottle of Penhaligons from a charity shop for £2 recently. It was such a Jack thing but I couldn’t explain it to anyone else without sounding like a loon.
That rucksack is Cath Kitson, bitch!
Here's the iMac and phone, with the £40 a roll wallpaper
Jack Monroe #106 She’s ‘aving a carafe
“Be-my-friend” chocolate bars going down well. Some positive twitter off the back. Imagine how much there will be when PATREONs start getting the postcards they’ve been expecting for 2-3 months 😳tattle.life
Damn you’re gooddefinite iMac, we can safely say £900 but could be more depending on the specs
The Blue heels from the IG photo are Jimmy Choo circa 2016 spring collection & that fits the date on the picture.
Even the zip on the back matches.
Price at the time was $895
I'm crying that THAT BLOODY LAMP is on the list.
As another Frau has said those blue ones are Jimmy Choo Rens - retailed $925 so whats that, £800 plus in 2016.
$900 (if real). Marvellous.
@ThatForensicMan
Those blue heels are Jimmy Choo Rens from 2016, unless I'm very much mistaken. (I am not mistaken).
So I googled, Jack Monroe Mulberry bag, just to see what came up. The tweet of her calling a squid a gammon appeared so I clicked & it took me to the tweet & when a squig asked to see the mulberry bag…. This was the response…
I don’t believe such bag exists

The Mulberry Bayswater is around 1.1k, not a cheap bag. I have a friend who has two, they’ve been some proper dirty places, don’t want to say withoutmyself but dirty, greasy oily places& rammed full of stuff. Still look new
On a more trite level, yet more evidence she’s been desperately trying to recreate Ol’ Leggy’s kitchen ever since. Both kitchens make me feel itchy.Such a big campaigner for the Living Wage that one of the first articles that comes up on that second link is her saying the Living Wage isn’t good enough…

Also has she ever even done anything with the Living Wage Foundation? Apart from that weird invite on Twitter to come along to a supposed meeting with Sainsburys earlier this year that I don’t think they even replied to. Either way, Sainsburys staff still aren’t paid the Living Wage so she can’t have been that convincing. Assuming the meeting was even real.

Can Mulberry bags really be that poorly-made that the strap could wear out after only 7 years? I have a lovely leather satchel which cost me about £150 in the early 2000s. I used it daily for well over a decade - looking at it now, I can see that there's a bit of stitching that's close to fraying on the strap. But that's something I'd try to have mended rather than replacing it with a cheap fabric thing.It's so hard to work out with her stories what is a lie and what is her stupidity.

It was a picture in an article linked earlier from 2015Has she... microsoft painted that 'graffiti' behind her? or was it you
Also that kitchen looks like one of the traps in Home Alone or something
I found this yesterday from 2015, which makes much the same point and had the measure of her back then. It’s an interesting read, and demonstrates she has neither grown nor changed since then.

I've been using one bag since early 2015, it's been my go-to day bag for multiple trips and sees almost daily use. I don't take any particular care with it besides throwing it in the washing machine once a year or so. It still looks practically brand new. It's not even expensive leather, just fabric. I think I paid $25 for it at TJ Maxx.Can Mulberry bags really be that poorly-made that the strap could wear out after only 7 years?

Yeah? Well thank your lucky stars you didn't have to yomp down to Asda, fill that bag with tins and yomp back every week. Then you'll know strain on a strap, be it Mulberry or Boot.I've been using one bag since early 2015, it's been my go-to day bag for multiple trips and sees almost daily use.

She's just incapable of telling the truth, even when it's something so unimportant. Or she's so careless with her possessions that she's able to destroy even a $$$$ bag that's meant to last years. (But for all she claims that bag was in bad shape it looks perfectly fine, so...)
My friend was given a Mulberry bag when she first started work, 20 years ago. It's been in daily use since then, and it's still almost pristine. And if it did break, they offer a repair service. My Radley handbags have likewise survived years of abuse without straps breaking or anything else. One even shrugged off getting four pints of beer spilled on it at the cricket.Can Mulberry bags really be that poorly-made that the strap could wear out after only 7 years?
Haha! Yes! I was very tempted to email the Graun asa disgruntled reader asking if they actually bother researching people before writing their puff piece. Very pleased about this!View attachment 1644363View attachment 1644365
