Kacie Rose

[Denise0211]

No deets, sorry. All I can say is I’d rather Bailey hang out with Kacie than any other expat influencer in Italy - Kacie is the least problematic by far lol.

I wouldn't go that far. At least Girl in Florence, Heart Rome and Katie Parla offer worthwhile info without pandering to The Dumb.

 

[Denise0211]

She’s trying so hard to do the “From Scratch” thing but her life just isn’t that interesting

I was going to say this too, but I hope it goes better for Dario.

 

[emm]

SO cringe. God that clip she posted of her audiobook, her intonation is awful, it sounds like a first draft

 

[emm]

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

And how many of the words in the goo he wrote she cannot pronounce

 

[Denise0211]

She's really hoping for a Maybelline Collab lol. It's like the third time she's tagged them about mascara (which always looks spidery anyway).

Joke's on her though, since she just gave a bad review of a L'Oreal mascara and said she won't cheat on Maybelline again... evidently not knowing Maybelline is owned by L'Oréal cosmetics.

 

[moronglace]

Jesus, did she even write that book?

 

[Denise0211]

I wouldn't have the patience to try and teach her either tbh

What do you mean? She speaks Italian now thanks to Davide and Babbel!

 

[Denise0211]

FFS. She's worse than George W Bush. How has she never heard or used "albeit?" Also, WTH is she wearing? Lol

 

[moronglace]

Yet again marveling at how dumb Kacie can be when she mistakes San Giovanni, Florence’s patron saint day as a national holiday in Italy?! Girl has lived in Florence for how long now??

 

[Denise0211]

I think you covered it! Used to think she was harmless, too, but the Michelin thing shows she is not shy to use her followers as a weapon.

Seems to be on a sponsored food tour so no big faux pas yet lol.

 

[emm]

It's like she's just learned the word misogynistic and wants to use it as much as possible

 

[moronglace]

Take one for the team and read (or listen)

Honestly curiosity has the best of me.

The haters chapter is mostly about how people (“keyboard warriors”) have commented about her thin lips and hair, and how she should speak Italian better by now and how her culture shock series could have been avoided by googling things.

She asserts that her not knowing that Italian pharmacies don’t sell birthday cards could not have been fixed by a Google search, because how could she have known she needed to Google that?

“The day they came after Dario is the same day I stopped tagging his profile and scaled back his appearance in my content”

Wonder what was written about him.

A big part of the chapter is about anti-American sentiment on social media.

She had a bad experience at an influencer networking conference with a woman scoffing at her for not knowing a suburb in the UK and it made her cry and almost want to quit. She makes it especially pitiable too because she wasn’t like the other girls there in their Gucci clothes.

Being criticized made her self aware and change the way she acts. She starts second guessing her content because she doesn’t want “dumb American” comments.

Her ultimate message is that all haters are 1000% jealous because they want something you have that they lack.
---
How dumb is she to hear Dario bestemmiare after cutting his finger and think it’s a beautiful phrase and not a swear word so she repeats it… that sounds like a made up anecdote
---
She also says that “in bocca al lupo” means good luck because of the wolf cubs being carried by a mother wolf in her mouth. If I’m not mistaken that is something created by animal rights activists??

SO cringe. God that clip she posted of her audiobook, her intonation is awful, it sounds like a first draft

The only part I'm curious about is the chapter on haters. She mentioned someone saying "mean things" to her in real life and I'm actually dying to know, lol.

Anderei

 

[moronglace]

Sob story as book promo. Ugh honestly I’m so curious if her book is as annoying as she is or if her ghost writer (“albeit”) took the edge off

 

[moronglace]

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?

 

[toastedwoofles]

I'm sure when they were just in New York together she was getting offended people were assuming he'd propose??

She did multiple stories on how they've discussed it but now's not the time, etc and that wasn't long ago...

I think you covered it! Used to think she was harmless, too, but the Michelin thing shows she is not shy to use her followers as a weapon.

Seems to be on a sponsored food tour so no big faux pas yet lol.

I'm waiting for some kind of comment about "it's so funny to hear English everywhere, I'm so used to speaking Italian now" as a segue into another ad for whatever that language app is

 

[Denise0211]

I'm still confused as to why she was shocked someone said that. Her entire personality was Cheetos, boxed mac'n' cheese and ranch dressing on everything. That is, until she started earning enough to treat Dario to Michelin restaurants lol.
