Kat Farmer - DMBL40

[Marmaladeapricot]

Kat has just proved our point with this ridiculous poor me crap....

 

[loubylou50]

Can’t stand the amount of adverts she’s posting lately, she reminds me of thehousebuild, tries to hide her obsession better, but leaves a nasty taste at the moment. Worst thing of all is she is seriously wealthy even before instagram so why on earth she’s flogging white co candles is really beyond my comprehension. Why doesn’t she donate the ad money to charity, she’s as rich as Croesus

I know, and all hidden behind the guise of ‘people have said they still want some light relief’
It really annoyed me the other day when she did an apparent joint charity promotion with Ridley London clothing (I think it was). Promoting that the profit from every pair of pyjamas sold (which SHE was gifted!) will be donated - at first I thought great, until I clicked on the pyjamas just to see what they were like . . . £279!!!!!!! Who the F is spending that on pyjamas ever, let alone right now! So actually, I don’t think a single pair will sell so they won’t have to donate any money. BUT she was also promoting a competition to win some - and funnily you had to follow her and the Ridley page, so I can’t help thinking it was just one big PR stunt?!
(and yes, self-isolation due to being poorly has meant far too much time on Insta this week!!)

Why didn't she just end the bloody live and speak to the Police in private. I'm sure the live was not that important?? Talk about "my job is far more important than get up and speak to Police!!" PRATT!! I cannot bear her tbh!

Her insta lives are all the same, drink, another make up brand, jewellery, scarves. Talk about digging about for something to prattle on about as can't go to London for any freebies. God I really hope these instagrammers jobs end soon and they have to get 9-5 jobs, getting on trains, and living in the real world where they have to pay for things.

Sorry rant over, just boils my piss!!!!

I don’t get the recent volume of cruise press trips, is that supposed to sell the idea of the cruise to her audience? A gaggle of screeching full of themselves women does not make me want to book a cruise.

Pascale is trying to rebrand as a fashion blogger rather than a mum/fashion blogger. She’s a real social climber, dropped her ‘bestie’ Victoria to get in with the ‘in’ crowd. And also quit her ‘proper’ job. I find her content very boring.

Agreed. Pascale is very bland. According to Victoria Genevieve (implied) she bought her followers to jump to the numbers needed by the same brands Kat worked with. Hence their cruises and days out with identikit husbands. I noticed Pascale was also involved in the baby shower scandal as she spent the Summer with some other desperados (guessing Kat has moved on or was keen to keep her family safe unlike Pascale).

Amazon ads, Bt internet ads and making bitchy little comments on lives ( for example “can you put up links to the shoes you mentioned “ , screws up face, looks disgusted , replies “ errrr no .....just google”........ then rolls a eyes !!! more and more we are seeing a different perhaps real side to ms farmer - less oh I’m so kooky and crazy but quite sweet and more I’m a rich bored housewife and I’m actually quite arrogant and patronising. Must now never watch again !!!!

 

[Ellabella]

This just shoes how identikit these women are. This popped up as an ad in my feed, it's not Kat, just someone who looks almost identical.

The top ones will be easily earning 6 figure sums in cash from all the ads and paid partnerships. Most of their luxury holidays/mini-breaks/events are all gifted, as are big household items gifted (sofas, appliances, furniture etc). Obviously the fashion ones are gifted huge quantities of clothes. I sometimes wonder where they keep them all. Maybe they sell them on. In which case more £££! Even food will be covered by partnerships with M&S/Hello Fresh. They don’t really have to fork out for much!

This was my poor friends response. I don’t think people are being nasty - just highlighting the insanity of social media sometimes :
Please just unfollow if you don’t like it. Genuinely im just trying to hold it together and frankly, messages like this make me wonder why I work 7 hr days, 7 days a week for literally no income. People are dying, the majority I know have had to shut their businesses or have absolutely no income. So I’ve adapted my feed and have been trying to be respectful in light of most people’s lives tanking. And there has been some fashion, there will be more, If you don’t like the “random interviews or rants or I don’t know”, all of which by the way is content that takes a significantly long time to produce with a lot of strategic thought behind it during these unprecedented times, may I suggest you follow some of the other accounts who are churning out just what they used to, regardless of attempting to “read the room”. I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, I’m utterly exhausted and to receive such a message, really just upset me

Kat has always laughed manically and stared off into the distance in photos. That’s been her stock pose for years.

 

[Libertine]

It's not like she even needs the money anyway! It's just sheer greed.

Excuse me?! Kat has TWO large mortgages to service.

I think she has been making a very tidy sum in cold hard cash on top of free goods and services. All the gifted stuff frees up her and husband’s income, plus she is paid to advertise. No other reason she’d be spreading bread with margarine on her feed!

I know there have been other poor fit campaigns but can’t think of them - the margarine was a proper low point. I was disappointed to see Kate from WearsMyMoney set up an amazon shop and not label it an ad or affiliate, as I’m sure she’d receive affiliate payments.

 

[Newbie mcnewface]

I would respect her more if she stayed in her lane (fashion ??). But prancing about her kitchen flogging cheese yikes !!!
Certainly doesn’t need the cash it has sold out and flogging everything like everyone else !!

the iconic ads make me lol. I thinkI must be pretty old school because I still can’t put my head round an influencer or blogger being a actual job !!

 

[tarahalls]

She made me laugh when she said she’d been working on Saturday afternoon because she was trying on red lipsticks around department stores Saying that, I still follow her, for some reason she doesn’t rub me up the wrong way like lots of other fashun accounts...CLTS, TFP, etc

 

[loubylou50]

There should be, she’s one of the worst...

She definitely needs her own thread! Anyone know how to make one?! Pascale comes across as one of the biggest social climbers around, clinging desperately on to anyone’s coat-tails in the hopes of gaining more followers!

 

[Resipsaloquitor]

Does anyone else find the constant bleating about not being able to get any work done because the kids are home very odd? I can fully understand how that would be the case if the kids in question are toddlers or younger primary school age (hats off to anyone trying to work right now with young kids) - but surely her kids are old enough to know to not constantly interrupt her when she’s working?? I just find it very strange.
But maybe her kids don’t consider her job to be proper work

 

[Brummiebird]

She’s getting some flack on Instagram for her post about going into London and being able to get into a restaurant easily.
She needs to read the room more, a twatty comeback like ‘I’m married to lawyer, no rules have been broken” just makes her sound like an absolute twat!

 

[OneLineResponse]

It’s funny but the recent posts and stories have made me feel really sorry for her. Her life was once carribeean cruises and wearing needle & thread dresses in stately homes and I thought her wardrobe was amazing. Things must be really really hard now hence the Lidl wine tasting and amazon links for beard oil and gaming chairs. I know it’s not a death and there are worse things happening but to drop so dramatically from living quite the high life to hawking crap must be so so upsetting. It’s made me really soften towards her. She is definitely different - she seems so less glam so much more messy and disoriented and I just wonder if she really struggling with her mental health. Within her cadre of mumstagrammers she is the only one who constantly references the weird world of the pandemic and I think she is really suffering.

Jen, I've liked with with a LOL emoji. I think she'll survive.

 

[AmberSpyglass]

I will also say that Kat is, and has been from the moment the law was clarified a couple of years ago, very transparent about who she works with/ previously worked with & gifted/paid partnerships, etc. If you compare the MOD/FOD and Sali Hughes threads where the extent of #kindlygifted shit is only now becoming clear to the masses, the difference is astounding — they (SH, FOD) are still to this day bad temperedly and peevishly dragging their feet and trying to wiggle out of any declarations ....

Kat’s conduct with regard to being open about her role as an Influencer was questioned on Mumsnet and it was that thread which caused her to be more open about what she received free.

She actually apologised for her previous IG ‘don’t follow if you don’t like me’ rant after realising she’d dropped a bollock for being in denial of being an arrogant IG Saleswoman.

 

[Pennypuppywalker]

The hairdresser was fantastic because it was free/discounted?? Those deals probably aren't coming her way much these days and especially now it's lockdown. You can put money on it though, if lockdown ends on 2nd Dec, she'll be (along with others), getting on a train straight up to London for a freebie trip to hairdresser and gushing how amazing they are and that travel into London is fab! Just frickin pay and go local like the rest of us and support small businesses, she clearly can afford it!

 

[Brummiebird]

So a few days ago Kat was slating the government for not providing free school meals for kids - now she’s accepting #gifted food platters?! Yes ok she then gave it to a friend, but she could have “no, let’s make a donation to charity and I’ll still give you (the company) a shout-out”
I know we’ve said it a lot, but she cannot read the room, she gets it so inappropriately wrong time after time!!

And on the same day she posted slating the government, she was doing one of those cringy Hello Fresh adverts.
