Oh gawd. She’s really embracing the whole cringey reel thing isn’t she. The latest one isn’t quite as much of a cringefest as the ones a la Sarah this mama’s boring life. But it’s not far off, especially as Louise Pentland makes a gurning appearance in it.
Unpopular opinion….I’ll confess that, personally, I don’t really dig the Insta reels thing. I find 90% of the ones I’ve seen utterly cringey - I’m nearly itching with goosebumps and secondhand embarrassment watching them. But Katie’s recent ones look like she’s taking lessons from Sarah in cringeness, which is a shame because Katie does, IMO, have some talent in videography and photography. But if she continues with the cringe reels I’ll be unsubscribing like a shot.
Also, slight aside, but the Homesense reel feels to me like either a hidden ad or a begging ‘give me brand work’ effort, especially with the (also cringe, blatantly obvious engagement-seeking) ‘what’s your favourite item that you saw in this little cringefest? I mean this little snippet?’ GIVE ME STRENGTH!
