Leonora Smee

[kale-supremacist]

I'm just starting the vlog but this comment got me . The most beautiful woman ?

Edit, I really don't think she got her bite/jaw fixed.. she just edits herself into oblivion

 

[ella1979]

Effectively she’s giving a tour of her parents home both in uk and Majorca. It is very odd.

It’s kind of like going back in time to when extended families had no financial choice but to have to live together under each others feet.

She says she’s won the genetic lottery , I very much disagree looking at her mum and dad , both are very out of condition, the dads face is often bright red! despite having time and money to look after their health. Looking at the parents genetics she needs to be cautious of her own lifestyle.

She has what I’d call middle aged habits some women have . Ie the heavy drinking, the day drinking , yet she isn’t Middle Aged and stressed out , so she’s prematurely ageing herself like the mother has.

Marks on one big jolly isn’t he!. He really has struck gold if he can put up with the claustrophobic situation. I get the feeling he just agrees to whatever they expect which doesn’t seem to be much . The mother is the one bearing the brunt . She’s been shopping for about a year for this place that we have seen in previous vlogs.

I bet wife no1 feels hard done by watching it all, o reckon being as footballers weren’t paid much in the old days that daddy’s money came later in life and the first wife has a fraction of what Karen enjoys. Second wives club! Karen’s just fortunate he hasn’t traded her in the way she’s gone downhill .

I knew someone the husband had made 400m and he started at 60 playing away, one day came home told wife he has bought another house a few miles away and intends to live with mistress part time and wife part time… the grown up children even met the mistress … can you imagine?! . It’s a well known company everyone in uk would know of. I felt so sorry for the family . Sometimes wealth doesn’t help when it’s to excess . Rogers not excessively wealthy like this but he’s done very very well all the same. These men can become nightmares .

Who knows what mark will be like once he’s got more power and money …

The hair curler and Charlotte Tilbury make up routine is getting SO boring. Pretty much every vlog starts with her in rollers, doing her "contouring" and telling us just what an amazing and exciting day she has lined up.

 

[ella1979]

I agree. I know her being all posh and gushy is part of her "brand" and I get that being ethusiastic and gushy about everybody and everything can come across as positive and upbeat but it's too much that it totally loses meaning. How many times this year have we heard her say it's the most exciting lunch ever, it's the most fabulous party ever, the most glorious food ever, the most gorgeous gift of all time etc. She needs to tone it down, because currently it just sounds totally over the top and annoying.

You have hit the nail on the head with meaning. She isn’t sincere and everything she says has lost all meaning . Absolutely spot on

 

[kale-supremacist]

Starting the newest vlog now.
I think her biggest issue, and again, I'm not trying to be mean, is that she's easily pleased with herself. Putting some weeds with random flowers (in the worst vase), groundbreakingly beautiful. Cooking a feast ? Fajitas and nachos. A decent guacamole ? Her ultra secret legendary recipe. Nothing is really that special.. Even when she was doing her mother's makeup (actually very liked seeing her mom, less squealing and giggling); she said she always loved doing makeup.. Really, with that unblended contour ??

I want her to change hairstylist so bad. She needs a bit of darker highlights/reverse balayage to give dimension to her little hair. It always turns yellow so fast too !

I mean, I'm sorry, but she's so hyper. She was already a tad manic on the HC haul vlog. Is she on some sort of upper ? Or adderall? (or actually, I was personally quite manic on benzos lol)

Tonights vlog...

Leo goes to Portugal for a wedding and puts it all on the vlog. I'm not sure how I would feel about my wedding being put on YouTube days after the ceremony... I'm assuming they agreed to it, just seems a bit odd.

In other news Leo's hair is still bad.
---
Oh and the slow-mo beach walking/spinning is very cringe

 

[Lotster]

OMG! Those pics of her lips. Is she going to do a Josie and keep telling us she hasn't had filler? That it's just her lip liner?! Also, these influencers share all aspects of their lives, they "take us along" to their hair appointments, exercise sessions and whatnot, but we don't see them going to have their botox and filler do we?! They are so too faced.

 

[kale-supremacist]

You know how Ali Gordon (Lydia's housemate) create very visually appealing content but it sounds inauthentic. Like he's cosplaying as a very busy business man. That's kinda of how I feel looking at Leonora's content. The quality is great, but it really looks like she playing dress up.

 

[ella1979]

Just watched the Q&A and she says daddy told her to get a proper job after horse riding. Well daddy is still waiting

I assume she will refer to mummy and daddy as mummy and daddy for the remainder of her life . When Prince Charles did this he was laughed at. I don’t know anyone else who is an adult who does this , do you?

 

[WatchReelCopyReel]

I loved Leo’s appearance in Josie’s flog. I think her home is beautiful and I’d like to see more. That said, IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT WOMAN A MODEL?!?

I also don’t mind an age gap but knowing how young she was on the marriage I’d wow.

Finally, love the comment about Ben and Robin having a more budget copy wedding. The Smees might have money but they don’t have Ben’s money.

 

[ella1979]

I'm intrigued to know how it works, do brands like HC/Tivon pay for her to shoot out in places like Mallorca (do they pay for all the travel, photogropher, shoot locations etc) or does she just get paid a flat fee and then uses that money to fund it all?

She does a really good job of getting interesting content even if she is over-the-top and super enthusiastic about everything

I think she has used her own money to bankroll this venture and has been noticed /asked for sponsors to give clothes for shoots etc. I would imagine Tivon have paid her to appear on their website, probably gifted her a piece and the rest is on a loan which is common place with fine jewellery companies. Sometimes the person has to even sign a loan agreement which is ripped up on return of items. I think HC have gifted her items to feature which she will keep. I think her travel costs and makeup/production will be her own bill but she's paying it forward to see what sponsorships she can get.

She's an incredible cook if she got that far with her cooking competition. I do suspect the salmon en croutes were bought in ! . It would of been much easier for a day like that to of been catered.

She also has all the best social outings the Leander club henley regatta isnt easy to gain access to, good wood GRRC members only is a waitlist situation, she does everything with style and taste. I don't know about green dresses but Josie must be green allover with envy!

The Mallorca property would be worth many millions and again, they have the right idea choosing something so close to what id say is the best hotel in Mallorca the Belmond with its spa services. I would imagine they must have permanent live in staff to care for the Mallorca place.

Her Van Cleef earring collection is worth a bit too, they won't give anything to an influencer. Her lifestyle would add up to a fortune yearly . Its refreshing to see someone like her doing this "job" when she doesn't have to do it for money.

 

[ella1979]

Why am I enjoying Leonora's vlogs way more than Teefers and Lydiot's vlogs ?
Trips abroad, cooking, shopping in London. Of course, she is shilling stuff but not on Teefer's level, so I don't mind that, for now.
Two thumbs up.

exactly, same here, shes a breath of much needed (especially right now!) fresh air.... well done Leonora!!

would love to see more vlogs per week ideally..

 

[WatchReelCopyReel]

To me she acts quite new money with the flashy spending and overdone accent (compared to Amelia Liana who is very wealthy but doesn’t seem insecure enough to put on an act)

Well I mean she is new money. Her father is self-made. I think Leonora is ridiculous but her consumption is a fraction of her aspirational peers. She makes clear that she’s working with brands to advertise their clothing and isn’t ordering hauls of polyester to try on and toss daily.

Her vocabulary is extremely limited and as a result, she defaults to stupid overly flowery language to describe pretty things. What can we expect from ladies who did not excel in traditional academia. They all could do a lot better by absorbing information now and reading, but as we know the Lidl’s of the world have no room for news. I won’t begrudge them as they try to make their way in a system that wasn’t designed for them (and their lack of traditional smarts). Well I won’t begrudge any except Lydia and Teefers

Re the white dress pink dress photo … I’m saying nothing ! 🫣

51 mins into Lydia’s vlog , Lydia says she really hates YouTubers who can sing as well , she repeats it really annoys her when they say they have a hidden talent are like “la la la la la “ (she does a mid pitch noise reminds me of Leo !” ) wonder if it’s a swipe … if so tbh I like it
---
Well a friend of mine who’s in the Cotswolds and is well connected , has just told me there’s been some drama about the filming of classes at daylesford and Leonora has now deleted the bit of her YouTube vlog which went out last night showing class members working out in the background.

I have just fact checked and it is indeed missing !!! . the Pilates class she filmed is now deleted from the vlog.

Apparently things kicked off this morning

Sounds like luxury by leonoras luncheon got off to a difficult start!

No wonder Leo’s photograghed constantly with drink in hand today

I wonder if josies in the drama with daylesford being as Leo was her guest and her responsibility whilst there .

honestly , influencers - can’t take them anywhere who do they think they are

 

[WatchReelCopyReel]

Darlings…

I feel like Leonora is trying out for a phone sex hotline in the last blog. At least she made something in that gorgeous kitchen unlike Her Majesty Millen Moron. Oof that chutney still makes my stomach turn.

 

[ella1979]

Leo’s father is self-made which explains why he is probably a good guy. Did footballers make much money in his era? It seems the bulk of his wealth came from his business dealings after his sporting career.

Leo exudes the lifestyle that brands like Hermes was designed to cater to. She does the actual equestrian thing whereas someone like Lydia is buying the riding boots and wondering how much a riding lesson would cut into her next clothing haul budget.

No back in the day (not even that long ago) footballers earn a decent but very modest compared to today wage. Most of them (George best springs to mind so to Paul Gazza Gascoigne) ended up running out of money... but like you say, it tends to mean the person is a more down to earth relatable person.

Im slightly put off however by her vlog tonight ... she says cash is one main reason she doesn't have a nose job (what?!) ............. shes on another planet if she thinks she can come that one!

Other reason is two black eyes.... quite often from some experience in the cosmetic field if the surgeon is good very little bruising appears ... im just not sure after watching her vlog. I will stay tuned though to see how it unfolds ..

 

[ella1979]

I've just put her latest video on and two minutes in I've had to switch it off. First time. I just cannot cope with the squealing, gushing, OTT excitedness, ridiculous vocabulary. It's too much. For a while I found her life and video's oddly intriguing (even though annoying) but I think I'm done. Every time she is in London it's always for trying on dresses, PR events, dinners, balls, it's just SO boring.

100%! Intriguing until we met the family, saw inside her parents houses , met the dogs , got to know her cushy lifestyle .. now it’s same old spoilt girl who does very little and it is like you say boring

 

[ella1979]

Holland cooper!! Watch out josie and Lydia ! . Leonoras stealing the show and why not. She lives in the countryside and can ride /shoot perfectly fits the brand

She’s really flogging that bag isn’t she

Such an Hermes copy cat too (the bag)
---
I think I am sensing Leo selling out , like Josie has. Everything is "my favourite this/favourite that". Turning up to the opening of an envelope.

I hope Leo catches herself before she ends up too far down the flogging hole. I know thats the point of social media to make money, but I had hoped being as she doesn't seem to really need it she might just be the authentic one.
