Leonora Smee

[ella1979]

I only lasted for 7 minutes, i'm sorry this is too boring and repetitive

I watched it all. But did lose attention in the skincare bit . I think it’s her worst vlog to date. Most of what she promised to show and film she didn’t.

I’m also jaded and I reckon a lot of others are too from watching people like Josie flog skincare . Leo now has Jo loves . It’s all the same brandsfeaturing whether it’s Josie , Lydia , Victoria etc etc .

not a good vlog imo
---
I’m also doubtful that that many people have asked to see her horse ride . Horse riding is a bit niche . It’s exclusive . How many people out there can even tell a good rider from a bad one for example . Most people haven’t been on a horse .

I don’t feel her audience are horsey . I’d imagine it’s a mix of 30yrs plus women who like makeup and men who gawp at her

Her older brother (Alistair) is her half brother I belive. Her dad is 75 this year and her mum Karen was 60 last year.

Alistair Smee is 49 so very much doubt he's Karen's so must be from a previous relationship of her dad's.

I think Leo and Cam are Roger and Karen's kids.

This adds up! Yes . Maybe there’s more children we don’t know of from daddy smee

Does anyone have an understanding of Adsense ?. Last vlog was only 36 mins and I thought Adsense payments kicked in at 55/60 mins ?. Presumably she’s relying on the rstyle links she posts to products to bring in the income from that length video ?
---
I’m guessing she’s shooting at the game fair. Unless she can find a lesson with tutor and go under their license she would have to take daddy with her and shoot under his license with him next to her. I can’t see Leo going to the hassle of having her own licence, police have to come out and issue it . I’d imagine when she’s on game shoots she shoots with one of daddy’s guns- under some supervision of someone licensed.

Bet daddy has a valuable collection of purdey/Holland and Holland

I think Adsense kicks in waaaaaay quicker than that. By a few minutes I think.

I couldn't watch the whole vlog, it was quite boring tbh, I would love to have seen more of the Marlowe High street, anything but the boring chit chat. However, it appears Leo is slipping into the "I forgot to vlog" category of most influencers.
And why was she was dressed as "old ladies who lunch" to go to the charity shops in her Chanel block heels and boring white dress. Girl, you're 26 !!!

Is Leo tall or is Monica just very very short ?? (I'm not being rude, this is a genuine question).

 

[kale-supremacist]

She's tall-ish,, 5ft8 and Monica is very small

 

[ella1979]

She's tall-ish,, 5ft8 and Monica is very small

Exactly yes.

I think hair wise and some clothing she is like a throwback to the 80s. I think she’s heavily influenced by her mother and perhaps Dallas /dynasty
---
Do you find Monica annoying ?. I certainly do .

 

[ella1979]

Imo she’s definitely buying Instagram likes , her likes have dropped since I mentioned this in this thread recently . Of course she reads here . The 111 skin post has only just over 200 likes . Previously she’s had more like 900 plus likes per post. Her YouTube has a regular 100 subscribers in a clump same time each week so that suggests to me she’s buying followers by a subscription.

I suppose it’s a sign of how difficult it is to make it big these days online . I wonder if views of YouTube can be bought? I will see if I can find out
---
Update. Yes YouTube views can be bought.

I guess companies don’t do much due diligence before hiring someone to represent their brand
---
Comments on last vlog - a few from someone called trudie Gordon complaining ! . I can understand someone leaving one comment with honest thoughts but not several

The property was purchased by the parents in 2013 for 5m £ . It’s in the names of the parents currently . I had wondered if they have it in trust or had already put it to the children’s names but they haven’t .

The plot the farmhouse and barn is on appears to consist of about 4 acres . I do not believe from what I’ve seen of the boundary map that the farmers fields belong to them. The 4 acres is mostly wooded area some lawned gardens .

Exactly what I said previously , the rolling countryside isn’t imo theirs
---
4 acres isn’t much .
---
It’s a difficult property to value and I’ve no idea if the barn was already converted or not in 2013 but I’d guesstimate the property is now worth circa 7.5-8M £
---
There’s a selection of agricultural outbuildings which are very close to the boundary of the parents property which they don’t own . A huge commercial type outbuilding maybe has cattle in during winter or similar usage.

I would have thought they would own a lot more . Seems to me the old farmer sold off the farmhouse with some barn type outbuildings a useless wood (can’t farm a wood and trees might have protection orders on them , so unlikely to be used to develop in the future ) and a modest amount of lawned area .

The farmer has retained imo the most valuable asset - the land surrounding the house with some outbuildings .

Leo could find if the farmers outbuildings were turned into barn conversions that they have a number of new neighbours.

The swimming pool appears to be within a converted barn as well .
---
When she is seen walking the dogs through fields I don’t believe that is their land. The woodland bit yes.

She can go across her lawn through farmers field to another wood owned by the farmer however .
---
Most of the value of that property is due to the fact it is marlow area and very commutable to London . Henley is also fairly close and highly regarded . If that property was In a poorer area it might only be worth about 1.6m ! It’s all about location for that place .

Leo has an older sister so there are other smee kids

Jubilee

I love getting a sneak peek into someone's house - who doesn't? So when I visited friends Roger and Karen Smee for a Jubilee party I asked if I could take a few snaps for the blog. The children had donned the maids' uniforms for the day - everyone pitched in! The floral centrepiece in the...

Some never before seen on tattle pics of inside the smee household . This is the hall not the current farmhouse

Smee-Jones

DAVID Jones married Charlotte Smee at St Mary's Church, Wargrave, Berkshire. The bridegroom is the eldest son of Mr and…

www.somersetcountygazette.co.uk

In 2007 Charlotte smee who looks a lot like Leo was described as rogers youngest daughter ? So has Leo got a younger sister too …
---
She must have another sister because Charlotte was married in a church whilst Leo’s older sister married on temple island so in the middle of the Thames river
---
Sorry correction Charlotte is from another mother ! She is a half sister to Leo
---
How many children roger has seems to be as much of a mystery as how many boris Johnson has

 

[ella1979]

crikey wouldn't want to bump into bec on a dark night!
---
would of thought becky would have her own grooms on hand to groom the grey prior to a client (Leo) arriving and riding
---
LOL leos not in "Manchester", she's a good 35/40 mins away in WARRINGTON!
---
Leo gushes about a 5 yr old behaving as if its unusual - wait till hes stronger at 6/7yrs and knows what to do with his weight and how to play up! young horses are often very sweet until they strengthen up.
---
Thought it was a tad boring tbh. She could of shown us the restaurant , that might of helped!
---
Erm mark has been in Mallorca for two weeks?! anyone would think he's Karens son! . I wouldn't be happy with that personally. At least Leo should of had some good quality sleep though lol
---
Leo has her own brand coming out?. I hope its not clothing because that is SO difficult to succeed in. Even riding gear is so very difficult to have success with. A lot of money can be wasted with a failed attempt at a clothes line.

 

[ella1979]

I think roger might have 7/8 children , depending on what he is worth , if equally split I’d imagine 4-5 m each inheritance…… which won’t keep Leo in manolos and huge properties /luxury she is used to . What a dilemma.

 

[ella1979]

Looking at the hugely disproportionate likes on Leo’s video which is pinned to the top of the Holland cooper account I have to wonder if someone has been buying likes to seem more popular there !.

 

[ella1979]

Lots of game fair photos online. What looked like a very cloudy muggy day to have to wear tweed. I don’t know why hc wouldn’t offer a warm weather option as well as tweed just in case to their promo girls .

Interesting to see candid photos of LS . The hair is quite yellow and she isn’t as attractive when unposed and when she isn’t choosing the shots taken on a flattering professional camera.

She could do with her own thread on here albeit she never made it big enough (no YouTube) but Harriet lily needs introducing to a hairbrush. She looks way slimmer on her own Instagram compared to Candids taken at the game fair . Harriet always seemed to consider herself to be the original country girl for Fairfax favor and HC . She was known for being unfriendly to newcomers to the brands and seemed to want all the attention. Deep down I would imagine Harriet would be unhappy re Leo /jealous imo. Harriet the has been should stick to science jobs
---
One of the influencers has said on stories they had to be there most of the day on the stand. Holland cooper have certainly taken their pound of flesh in that case!. The influencer I listened to said they left at 5 pm ish so sounds like they have put in a long ass day for free clothing and whatever the fee is . I would imagine some are only getting a free outfit . Leo’s was worth nearly £1,400 ish but surely she was paid a few thousand on top for what sounds like a full day stuck on the Holland cooper stand .
---
I’ve also spotted Anna the pa in the background holding Leo’s hand. Why couldn’t she go alone like most other grown ass women would?! . There’s an official Photogragher plus all the other “influencers “ taking photos so it isn’t to capture footage . It’s to hand hold. Reminds me of Lydia using /taking cawwie as a social crutch

 

[kale-supremacist]

Ella you should post pictures,I've muted her account so I don't see her updates anymore!!

 

[ella1979]

And yesterday Anna spent the day with Leo and Monica in London and dressed up as a wedding guest to play the part of wedding guest in Monica’s wedding photoshoot - so Leo “pimps” Anna out
---

Ella you should post pictures,I've muted her account so I don't see her updates anymore!!

Have you?!. I’m almost at that point myself. Scarlet Martin was there, Harriet Lily , lots of so called country influencers who’s only link to the countryside is to wear a bit of tweed
---
Should point out that altho I dislike her, Harriet can shoot /ride and was born into farming so in fairness Harriet is the proper country type , I wasn’t aiming the above comment at Harriet
---
@Jade Holland cooper has also posted a lot of footage
---
Leo wouldn’t win best blow dry that’s for sure . I’m surprised she didn’t get is washed and blown before going to work where she knew a million photos would be taken
---
I know she denied extensions but there is an assortment of funny mixed lengths at play there
---
Thanks to Holland cooper for inviting a pile of photogragh taking wannabes
---
It’s also odd why Leo commented the cream hc shirt goes best with the tones of the tweed which I 100% agree with. Yet she’s had reels professionally made of her wearing the stark white cheap top and then turned up in that white top at the game fair . Instead of trying to put her best foot forward she decides to wear the silk cream blouse to cook in!

Maybe it got wrecked whilst cooking
---
She’s using so many filters in her stories to look better nose much smaller etc etc .
---
I wonder if all the influenzas are back again tomorrow at the game fair .

 

[ella1979]

Interview time with Harriet ?! . Who the h&ll would want to do that!. Plus she seems to be splaining godknows what to Leo rather than actually interviewing . Like I said HC have had their pound of flesh out of the influencers today . Doesn’t seem like they left the stand much at all.

 

[ella1979]

Leo, the only one on tip toes trying to look taller than the others she’s having a Photo with

She really backs herself . Yet another story on how wonderful /attractive /glamorous she is and they won’t have had many as glam as her and scarlet take fishing tuition. At Cornbury park cross country she told David the owner how lucky he was to have her in the car with him. There have been other occasions as well. I’ve never known anyone rate themselves so highly and feel comfortable saying such things.

She’s not the best of riders but I think scarlet Martin is better looking personally . Albeit she is slightly Paris Hilton facially. There’s no shortage of women equally as attractive as Leo yet she acts like she is miss world

 

[kale-supremacist]

I finally pointed out what got me to mute her, soon to unfollow.
Whether we like Josie or not aside, she's the HC ambassador. We know that whole debacle with Lydia is that Lydia tried to steal her thunder and created a fake storyline about being an ambassador when she just had a few pieces to shoot.
Leo kept repeating how she feels like she really wanted some campaigns she didn't get and how she'll try harder. I think she's gunning hard to all of Josie's campaigns and usual spons. Including HC.
To me, trying to "get" someone else work is really bas de gamme. She's never had to work for anything, her father made it happen. And I don't judge her for that, my parents helped me all through my life too. But Josie made herself, she's a grifter (a dishonest one, but eh): and that's hardwork. Stomping your feet and having your eyes on someone else's share is just weird and doesn't show nicely on her character. It keeps bothering me really.
As far for buying followers and views, she's so sheltered, I wouldn't be surprised Mark or her father got someone to do it without telling her.
I also cannot take another video of her cross legged, tippy toed, hands on her hips, gasping at another floral dress using the same exact description as always. I have a very strong memory, and she literally uses the exact same sentences repeatedly. Use your cute little brain to open book or watch a good old documentary (not a country life vlog), pleaaase.
Last point, her hair is so bad it looks like a wig.

Ill give a look at Scarlett Martin thank you; eventhough my personal taste lean more towards sunkissed brunettes
