I don't think she was as wild as she'd like people to think. She's too much of a try hard nowadays as it is. I bet she was a right little emo, and not in the cute scene kid kind of way, just a miserable little shit
I just imagine her being a regular old mousy plain jane and her idea of 'going wild' was occasionally drinking too many WKD's and puking blue sick outside of a Walkabout

All those valiant efforts to carry on a conversation about ice lolly flavours, and then she'd reappear and derail the chat again

@MarmiteExtract is my new hero - you are doing Gods Work with your references to when JM came to visit!

Totally OT but I'm a little excited, I have a call in 20mins with a real life Frau!!! (A German lady). I will try not to HOOT at her or ask if she is wearing traaaaazers.

Are we still waiting for an answer to this, btw? Will we find out which post she was referring to shortly after we learn the fate of the pistachio milk?

I think the most interesting thing about this post (other than the victim blaming re. the kickstarter debacle - it's obvious reading the many, many complaints from people who didn't receive the book that they had been desperately trying to get into contact with her and yet she tries to say that it was the other way around - LIES) is the whole heroin bullet point. First of all, I don't think anyone had accused her of taking it and also it's clear that she was desperately trawling the pages trying to find anything remotely actionable.

Jack says that it was Louisa who asked to be called "Mrs J" in the relationship. but didn't Jack call Allegra "Mrs J" when they were together?

Sidle up to someone in a supermarket and whisper 'are you familiar with my body of work Barbara?'
One of my favourite aspects of Jack's storytelling idiosyncrasies is how everyone seems to sneak up and nervously, gently whisper things in her ear - precious and fragile little street urchin that she is.

wtaf is wrong with people?! As an adult imagine if you shat yourself in public & it went viral how humiliating It would be, why would you willingly do that to your child? The #content isn’t even of interest, like yeah baby shit is gross, the Pope is catholic, Jack is a maverick, these are the universal truths our planet runs on - we don’t need reminding!

Oh god, now she's begging her followers to tell her how amazing she is so she can fill another lever arch (lol) with their praise. I'm so fucking embarrassed for her

ETA: Fuck I didn't realise she meant physically send stuff. This is really fucking pathetic.

Wow she's really setting up a PO box for people to send her their letters of adoration

I'm still on tenterhooks waiting for her to "gather [her] thoughts coherently" on FB about the comic filter *taps foot*.

If she wanted a folder of nice comments, she could print out screenshots or emails.
If she wanted gifts sent to her, she would set up a PO box.
Stay classy Jack.

It really is time for a big daytime sleep, Bagpuss. Her LONG plea for people to tell her how she has changed their life is beyond parody. My cringe is .

All these big cuddles / chuckles / snuggles posts seem to be oddly following the pattern of Sophie Ellis Pretzel. What next - blow-dry him with a Dyson?

#74 Are you familiar with my body of work Barbara?

I’m friends with a mum from school who has 3 kids. They’re all 12 and up now and she still constantly posts photos of them. The eldest repeatedly has to tell her to take of him off. Quite often they are really horrible/unflattering pictures. Why she thinks they are going to be pleased about it I don’t know.
