Oh dear, these instahuns were all so desperate to join the “Clemmie Clan” it makes me vomit Like she was the Brown Owl of the flipping Brownies!
All the rubbish hashtags women supporting women, strong women etc...and then slagging each other off! takes me back to my very wise mum, who always used the expression “There’s no honour among thieves”

Do you think MOD would have gained so many followers if her interiors had not been so Pinterest perfect and so high-end aspirational? When did she gain the bulk of her followers? Was if before or after the Ramsgate move? Before I think ...

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this HouseRed?
Personally for me it was way before the home content, some parenting, some fashion etc. The main issue for me was when it became less about being a working mum, interested in fashion, homes and beauty etc ( all relatable content) and more about - insta perfect homes and hidden ad's (obviously aside from Alicegate)
The main issues for me with things like the "reno" etc are lack of transparency and putting others down to build themselves up #dirtyoldbricksgate. Both completely unnecessary.

I think it's fab you are so supportive of them and it is great to hear opinions in support as well as frustrations being aried.

Re farrow and ball.....my hubbie is a painter and decorator and always says that you should get farrow and ball colours mixed in velspar paint as so much cheaper. It’s not that it’s crap paint - just hideously overpriced. (Ps this is not a #ad for velspar)

Quite!!! And a few minutes of googling shows their postcode and street view of their family home. It’s nuts. And that’s putting it mildly

Unpopular opinion but I preferred Alice to MOD, tbf. She fit right in here (apart from her defence of herself, of course ‘her passion for midwifery shone through’ LMAO. How the fuck did she think she’d get away with that?). You could tell MOD always had an underlying contempt for all the other Instamums. It’s just a shame that she couldn’t be herself on her Insta and tried to play the game when she didn’t really need to. I despise all these instacliques. You can tell a mile off that they’re all trying to scramble to be Queen Bee and for all the ‘I’m so sad and feel betrayed’ posts, they’d all stab each other in the back without a minutes thought. Just look how much of a deal they all made out of MODs downfall (Hungermama, I’m looking at you).

I’ve just looked at her insta too, I hadn’t heard of her. Interested to know too?

Think she was clawing her way into the influencer game by going running with other influencers.

I think Alice slagged her off on here, she was probably delighted to be given the recognition

I think they must have realised what they could get from the Insta game around that time but they became so greedy and desperate for the top spot. Does anyone remember the blatant beg for a new washing machine and tumble dryer and then hey presto, a few days later the Miele #ad was up? Then it was all Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie an #ad after midnight!

Yep I remember this! Loads of influencers do it... can anyone recommend bla bla bla??! So blatant. All the replies they must get from their sheep who actually believe they care about their opinion when all they want are the free white goods! Mega cringe.

Ha, ha. I’m not supportive of them. I wouldn’t be here otherwise. I just don’t think every issue is dead clear cut and 100% negative. Some things I’m on the fence about for sure. But am I supportive of them? No. I wish for them to disappear off Instagram and I think the display of their children’s lives and their advertising standards are shameful.

I posted the above because I genuinely couldn’t remember when MOD really zoomed from like 200k followers to in excess of 650k. I followed her when she still lived in south London, my friend group all knew of her and followed her but I can’t remember her follower count from back then. I can’t even remember when she started doing the big ads for M&S and the like. I started following her when I was halfway through my pregnancy with twins and the next 18 months were a bit of a blur to be honest.

So I asked what people thought about the Pinterest perfect thing because great swathes of people are completely enamoured with that look and aspire to it. I really couldn’t remember when the turning point was for MOD’s follower count blasting into the stratosphere.

I know I’ve said some things on here that go against the grain. I don’t know, I’m just trying to be honest about different angles of each issue as they arise. Anyway, that was a very long winded response to basically say, no, I don’t support the vast majority of the things they have done or are doing.
