I think Mrs Gloss vs Twitter/Kickstarter would be a great dive.
She would just say she had bad mental and glossing helped her get through all the stress and bullying of people asking her to produce items she’d sold to them for cash.

can anyone think when would the kickstarter cash have landed?

In November 2016 she was making herself a lipstick & gin advent calendar. Because you know, may as well buy TWENTY FIVE LIPSTICKS.

Mostly makeup free? You're either wearing it or you're not, you boofhead.
Out of all the Jacks I dislike the makeup/posing one the most. That's the one that pings my bra strap hard.

I know we had a few kickstarters among us - can we see the book if you have it?
There were moans about it being badly bound and poor quality

I dislike ALL Jacks equally. I hate to discriminate.

If you sent Jack a PayPal donation saying 'for sue lee' she'd still sniff it up nose and claim sue was her mate before you knew her.

While Jack is titting around thinking about recording herself cooking on her phone, she’s completely being overtaken by the younger generation. Loads of great young budget cooks like this around. Tiktok is absolutely full of people doing the £20 challenge, showing people shopping and cooking for their meals with step by step instructions. Absolutely no thirst selfies, cheap toffees, or vague promises about meal plans ‘coming soon’. Most of them are younger, nicer looking, and more socially media savvy than she is too. Her career and her crap blog are just looking more irrelevant and dated by the day.

I would actually date the commencement of the grift to 2012 when she first exploded into the public consciousness. This was when she first featured in the Mirror and Guardian as a near destitute single mum, although we now know that that wasn’t quite true: she had an active social life at the time, a very involved babydaddy, etc etc.

But I think 2011/2012 was when she first realised that she could play a character (plucky, resourceful, poverty stricken single mum) that the media loved, and her fame and ££££ off the back of it.

Over time she started to f*ck up, because she kept adding elements and backstories to the character (trans, communist, multiple disabilities, autism, maverickness, kidnapping survivor, ex firefighter, ex ballet dancer, sex worker, anorexia survivor etc etc) that were increasingly mutually contradictory for her timeline and therefore began raising doubts. She also shot herself in the foot by overplaying her hand, most notably with kickstarter, DKL and HH2.

After the “a girl called Jack” big yard sale someone posted a message on her blog or twitter saying they she should ask people to donate by PayPal
Squig Zero there.

Someone created a timeline for all the begs, tin rattles and paypal pushes not too long ago. It probably needs updating now, though.

Not to mention the fact she actually uses the word in her blog. That is not her word to use.

The real tin can cook! Food you might actually enjoy if all you have is tins, kettle and microwave.
Again, this is how you do it, guest. No beans rinsing necessary.

Would this be using bottles of gin that she doesn't drink?

@houseofhoop got there first by minutes. Must type faster.

And the make up she doesn't use/like. Funny that.

BBC Look East have just done a live bit from Southend on a replica Spanish galleon. I watched forensically and softly in an ADH brained way but didn't see the Beebs go-to celeb resident or hear any honking so I guess Guest is BUSY!
