Re: Lydia and Victoria (inthefrow)'s "friendship".
Sharing my two cents on their so called "friendship."
When she was still signed with Gleam, Victoria was lightyears ahead of Lydia in terms of content. She was able to go to all those amazing places (sometimes she has to beg), and experience a lot of things.
Victoria was able to be an ambassador with La Mer (Patrick Ta even did her makeup once), Nars, Thomas Sabo. She was able to visit Chicago every year, was able to take on annual ski trips. She was with Amelia once, but when her ex-fiance got injured, they were left on the slopes.
All those years, Victoria wanted to get married, all the more when Chiara Ferragni's wedding came along. For the uninitiated, CF is the OG fashion influencer.
Also, she hastily ignored Lydia, while she realized other influencers were not noticing her either.
All of them avoided Lydia like the bubonic plague.
Whereas Lydia, never came along as a luxury blogger, but always considered herself as one. Before her engagement/wedding, she used to cramp her things in a small closet, and lament that it is too small, wishes she can get a bigger one, etc etc. She used to brag her used Range Rover, always goes to Harrods, always at Dior, begging for free shit.
If you watched the proposal video, it was highly done so that they would become viral. And it did. And then, Lydia started to shift into this "Lady of the Manor" mindset that she has up until this point.
Her wedding day came, became viral. And this shitshow happened. She became obsessed with everything luxe, and thus becoming this absolute beggar.
Victoria and Lydia reconnected when Victoria was engaged. They were asking for her help to buy a new home in Milton Keynes, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. As Vic prepared her wedding, Lydia realized that she made a mistake on not having a destination wedding, not monitizing enough of her wedding etc etc.
Lydia WAS highly jealous of Vic's wedding.
So what now?
Lydia thinks that she is better than Victoria in all things, and she is ready to drop her anytime. However, Victoria can beg for more free stuff, because she is more known in the blogging world, Lydia isn't. Victoria's house looks better than hers (although 100% of it is free) and used to have nice projects.
Although, she was probably delighted when Victoria left Gleam. Victoria now barely has ANY jobs, and is currently on a weird limbo in her career.
Lydia thinks that she is ABOVE her in all things, from her house to her ambassadorships to everything else in between.
Victoria is slowly getting Lydia's eye fucking skills, and her way of begging free shit. Bet that angered Lydia. A LOT.
The both of them thinks of their friendship is more for exposure, but Lydia crawled her way for jobs better suited for Victoria. Lydia is sending Vic to hell, and poor Vic hasn't realized it. Lydia is a parasitic friend. She now thinks that Vic is copying her style etc, but in reality it's free amazon shit.
Lydia and Vic's friendship is those types that are friends, but are willing to stab each other with a *gifted (AD) stiletto to crawl their way to the top.
