Mamamia #4

[Pindawg]

I welcome the new thread with Mia’s latest performance art piece “Explosion In The Polyester Factory Made Me Go Blind.”

those shorts are heinous for the workplace
and don't get me started on the socks

Would have a modicum of respect if they admitted it was a family business and the appointment aligned with that.

Mia and Jason would sell off MM in a heartbeat if they found a buyer.
I’m still stunned anyone could believe he’s qualified. But somehow MM gets away with being the most mid media outlet ever and somehow they get the unicorn treatment.

Luca looks so much like Mia (& not in a good way). Can't believe Jessie saw this & decided to go for it. Has anyone seen him irl? Are these photos particularly unflattering?

 

[BertieBites]

Interesting how she talks about the increased use of AI being encouraged when it really shows in a drop in quality

 

[RobinsHood]

Don’t know if I’m allowed to say anything positive on this thread but I really enjoy The Spill, I really rate Laura Brodnik as it’s so clear she really does her research and knows her stuff (unlike Kelly M..who is also looking way too skinny imo)
I also enjoy Em Vernem and think her and Laura have a great rapport. The shows are always so well researched and put together. Does anyone else agree?

On a negative note I’d like to point out that the Mamamia bunch all dress absolutely terribly/ frumpy and really need to invest in an office hand held steamer as they all look like so crumpled and scruffy!

If you want a lol, listen to the last of the Wednesday episode of mmol. Luca, Jessie, Mia and most painfully Holly awkwardly explaining away the decision

It’s at 39:40 for those who, like me, can’t get thru a whole episode these days

Meet Luca Lavigne, the 28-year-old boss of Mamamia

When Mumbrella sat down with the outgoing and incoming bosses of women’s media network Mamamia — Nat Harvey and Luca Lavigne, respectively — we were relishing asking the obvious question: how is a 28-year-old qualified to run a business?It turns out 28-year-olds, like all people, come in...

Merit based no doubt

He gives me the biggest ick

Frank & Flo that was then rebranded into Spring St and lasted about a year? I remember it. Why they chose a name that sounds like a period product then changed it to something they probably found by pointing randomly at a map, I'll never know.

There was also a brief attempt to add a Mamamia branded Catch of the Day style marketplace site. That one got all the hype then disappeared and was never spoken of again. That was just before they pivoted to podcasts, I think.

There's really no trend too stupid for Mia not to chase. If women were smashing themselves in the jaws with hammers like Clavicular, she'd be launching an app and a series of podcasts for it.

I’m annoyed that my brain remembers this but Spring St is in New York and I think it was the street they had an office on or something.

I also remember them talking on the podcast about how they got the URL spring.st for it and I thought it was soooo clever.

I also can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday because this kind of rubbish is taking up space

Here is Mia spruiking one of Paula Joyes shirts. Could she possibly make it look worse? View attachment 3549160

I own a shirt from this brand and if you have a look at their website there are some cute ones, but the Paula Joye range is absolutely ugly

Also, I wonder if she is continuing to dress like a child because she is a grandmother and doesn't want to be portrayed in a certain way?

 

[cashedupbogan]

Nup! And Jesse was also missing from todays episode

It's school holidays so probably on a nice family holiday to relax and destress, I mean they really need it.

At a women’s media company too. Like, I could understand a 27 year old woman because younger generations definitely have a lot to add to the discourse (think Hannah Ferguson). But the combination of 27yo male, no real studies, meteoric rise to the top… yeah nah.

A 27 year old Michelle Battersby > Luca Lavigne

Some of these Outlanders are seriously pathetic

The parasocial relationship the out louders have with Mia is seriously ridiculous.
The previous CEO was Mia's husband, so really it's not like it's ever been run by women.

 

[Newhere2]

Interesting comment on this post

Wow! I just searched for it but couldn’t see it anywhere. I hope whoever wrote that is a Tattler and can spill some more tea!

 

[Newhere2]

I agree they won't last, BUT I'm going to differ on the mates thing - it's not that uncommon for the super rich to make random "bohemian" choices like having a kid at 25. In a way it's like a flex, like oh oops we had a kid but it's fine because we've got money for nannies, extra houses, holidays as usual, and any school we want. He will probably have a second family once Jessie has wrangled a settlement.

I think Luca and Mia have a bizarre relationship and he chosen someone similar to his mum (outspoken, writer, ‘feminist) and Mia also had Luca at 25, as she loves to repeat. She honestly makes herself out to be the youngest person to have ever had a child

 

[lifeispeachy]

OK, but can we also take Jessie off the airwaves?

 

[mummasoc]

Posted this photo and also a photo of the article with ‘no comment’ and a laughing face emoji on it

 

[canigetfreestufftoo]

The outgoing CEO only lasted 2 years

What in the nepotism is happening over there???
I really really enjoy listening to Holly and the other woman that’s not a twin or Em Venom but the whole place is off to hell in a hand basket!!!!

 

[HermioneG]

And of course she announced it the week of Clare's book release...

I wonder if anything is going on there. I know we can't glean everything from Insta but I noticed Mia & holly didn't like or comment on Clare's podcast launch post and Clare didn't comment on either of Jessie's pregnancy announcement posts and I thought she would especially because of the twin aspect. Obviously they know and talk to each other in real life but it looks a bit weird from an outside perspective

Kelly from you beauty interviewing those twins who used to be on the block and didn’t know they were sisters, let alone identical twins

Literally insane because they are the brand. Just the sheer laziness of MM

The Australian Podcast awards were held last night. Didn’t see any mention of them being there and they definitely didn’t win anything, not sure if they even got any nominations. All those podcasts and no awards! They’ve definitely gone for quantity over quality.
