Kacie Rose

[emm]

Don't follow her so hadn't seen her content in a while, she still annoys me, but I will say good on her for the IWD content, going to that March etc rather than just focusing on the superficial (I also liked the explanation of the flowers, I didn't know that was why!)

 

[Denise0211]

I set a reminder in Libby to notify me if my local library network ever gets a copy of her book so I can read it for free

I hope so! I'm dying of curiosity, at least a few chapters, but I won't give her my money.

I guess the industry has been geared this way for a bit now, but it annoys me fluff from an iNfLueNcEr gets all these promotions and earnings. Meanwhile, good writers who aren't Insta or Tik Tok famous struggle to find a publisher or the publicity. My friend's husband has won two awards at the Torino Salone del Libro in the past few years, but aside from a moment of personal satisfaction it doesn't pay the bills or mean much else. No book tours for him! Lol

 

[Denise0211]

That was painful to listen to, the fact she doesn't know very basic things still is actually ridiculous, it serves as a warning not to use babbel if anything. And for that whole thing about making a.mistake using "preservativi" instead of conservanti she still has no idea about false friends, judging from her use of "popolare"

I don't understand why Dario doesn't speak Italian with her. It's really how I learned the most, speaking with my than partner every day. I say this bc 1. It's obvious by her lack of skills she hardly uses Italian and 2. in all her stories with Dario, she's always speaking English with him. Even as an "aside" (obviously her main language would be Eng for her followers.) where language isn't the focus, it's always English. And she doesn't even speak English clearly with him, which I find rude. She eats her words and uses that put on dumb drawl.

 

[Denise0211]

I only have very mean things to say. Besides the fact she mispronounced it after being in Italy how long? She saw it and uploaded anyway...no correction text. Obviously didn't even notice until a follower asked.

 

[Denise0211]

So Kacie and Dario bought an apt. We can bet on her own "renovating a ruin" type of series since she says it needs major work. Lol

 

[Denise0211]

I can never get past her odd accento dell'est, so having another listen would be torture lol. She really is an awful representation, BUT she's qUirKy and fUn and has a million followers who don't know any better.

And omg "Ciao, salve, ciao!" Defeating the purpose of 'salve.'

 

[emm]

Kacie is a freaking snowflake and becoming a big headed bully. Big head from her book? Not only did she make a new reel about her "misogynist haters" but she responded to EVERYONE disagreeing with her OTT reaction to Swifty's new album. Just a few really benign comments that she couldn't handle.

She acts as if people are being "mean" personally to her rather than criticising the album. I'm not a swift fan but no one I know who is has been blown away by this album

 

[emm]

Yeah, they'll all want to see the ring and cry lol.

But I have a really weird feeling, especially based on her lastest promo reels (ciao, he said) she's going to pitch this to Netflix. And I bet they bite. This type of crap is popular without even trying.

Omg i hadn't even thought that but I agree, I am still shocked at the fact that the book has huge sales and that there is a tour. I bet they're hoping for an Emily in Paris style thing

 

[Denise0211]

I just realized that Kacie’s audiobook is included with my Spotify premium subscription so I’m gonna give a listen

Yas! Lol. Let us know! I'm especially curious about her chapter on xenophobia and all the meanies!

 

[Denise0211]

Bro… what a rats nest. The fact that there isn’t a single negative comment tells me she monitors that shit like a hawk

There weren't? She must have deleted , bc when I posted so many people were telling her, in a nice way, the extensions were poorly done with suggestions how to fix/place. Lol, wow.

 

[Denise0211]

Kacie, a best selling author and food enthusiast (has she ever claimed to be a foodie?):
carmalized

Of course! Don't forget all of the MANY Michelin starred restos she's been to. You know, where they supposedly clap and sing Happy birthday lol.

 

[emm]

Why does she speak SO fast she garbles words and I had to listen three times to understand:

“…un’app linguistica, si chima (sic) Babbel. E la mia isenate (sic) mi ha sudderito (sic) di fare questo”



Again driving home that she doesn’t really speak Italian like this, otherwise she’d know better. Imagine Dario watching this content like “wtf are you doing”.

Of course she only speaks Italian “a whole day” when she’s getting paid to, and she can’t even take the time to do a new take where she correctly says “chiama”, “insegnante”, “suggerito”. She’s lazy and a terrible representation for Babbel, why do they keep working with her?

That was painful to listen to, the fact she doesn't know very basic things still is actually ridiculous, it serves as a warning not to use babbel if anything. And for that whole thing about making a.mistake using "preservativi" instead of conservanti she still has no idea about false friends, judging from her use of "popolare"

 

[moronglace]

I haven’t really kept up with her content but a TikTok popped up and I saw her dancing to the new Taylor Swift album, and I have to say I think Kacie is the exact target audience for TS’s music oblivious white girl listening to supremacist dogwhistles

 

[emm]

Marveling because a hotel has the toilet in a separate room to the bath. It will never cease to amaze me how she is seemingly shocked by the most mundane details. Also about how it's important to say bonjour when you enter somewhere in Paris, as if it's not exactly the same in Italy

 

[Denise0211]

Lmao she’s such a clout chaser.

She really is. She tried and failed with Maybelline, she tried with Rainn Wilson, she's tried with Tucci...those are just the ones who come to mind.

 

[Denise0211]

Btw I found Olive Oil Mommy sans the mommy tradwife schtick

Oh I've seen her, I think I follow. Lol. Or maybe their EVOO acct, but I rarely see their posts.

I heard that on the DL you actually pay to get an Oprah Favorite Things feature? Lol

I don't understand why Dario doesn't speak Italian with her. It's really how I learned the most, speaking with my than partner every day. I say this bc 1.

That's how I learned Italian too (clche thing) but I also surrounded myself with Italian speaking friends/flatmates etc so even when my level was very low I was forced to speak it, irs hard to change language after a certain point I guess so she never will.
She reminds me very much of the American mother of my then boyfriend, after 30+years in Italy could barely have a very basic conversation (and other American colleagues I had there) who basically live in an american/international bubble

 

[Denise0211]

Kacie "the foodie" acting like steak tartare is unheard of in the US. Rube. I've had it multiple times in NYC...you know, where she lived. But I guess she was used to fried pickles and chicken tenders before Dario. Now she's magically a pro at fine dining.

 

[emm]

Yes, that too! Re: the green card. Lol. I'm American and I cringe when people still assume this. Hopefully things will improve in the next years.

I sort of wish you were gifted her book. A photo of your reaction would have been priceless.

No I'm waiting to get the audio book so I can hear her pronounce words she wrote but doesn't know

 

[moronglace]

They needed to gift her a much lower level course
