Niomi Smart #8 Joey bails, smart skin fail, pahhhfect life won't get you sales

[Yel]

It's just hilarious laughing at people working while on your way to pick up a bag of gifted goodies

 

[judgejohndeed]

I’m gonna keep it really basic (kind of like Niomi!):

Niomi Smart #9: ... maybe it’s the moon?

((the ellipsis is very important.))

I feel like we could really go places with this like 'over my break up, is it a bit soon? Nah, it's probably just the moon'

 

[Over_this]

Oh dear.. Patience seems to be wearing thin! Rightly so. Seriously, it’s like she’s on a mission to lose as many followers as possible. Bizarre!

 

[BigQueenEnergy]

I’ve been on a lot of tinder dates in my time. I jumped on tinder straight away when my relationship ended, but I would never hold hands. That’s something you do in a relationship...

I would sleep with guys, but holding hands is just too far! I didn’t even want to spend the next day with them, just get the hell out of my place

But maybe Niomi isn’t a slag like me. Maybe she wants the romance and expects guys to woo her, take her on romantic strolls and hold her hand.

I’m actually a bit jealous of how people can move on so quick. It’s rare for me to have feelings for someone. Takes me years of being single to meet someone I like!

 

[CheshireLove]

So instead of inviting her best 5 mates over for a baby shower, that woman meets potentially 20ish or plus people over several days as a way to get around rules to protect us all. My god. And this is lauded as being a good thing?! What fecking planet are they living on?!

 

[earlgrey]

It's so ignorant. It reminds me of Alfie making a challenge out of living off £1 a day and thinking it was a fun game. Niomi's giggling at people working at 7am like she has no idea it's normal for most people.

 

[orangeandsoda]

@orangeandsoda did you see her face? The coat does look like the long caramel coat she has, but the hair seems to dark, since she now has some highlights in it. And too long.

Oh, Niomi. She's such bad company, she can't stand to be on her own for 2 months.

Yes - I was walking towards them. We made awkward eye contact (I was trying to figure out who she was, realised, then quickly averted my eyes) and walked straight past. Hair was definitely the same length, (a beautiful bouncy blow dry and the coat matches the Instagram one too.

Again, apologies for the terrible quality photo but felt a bit odd jogging to catch up with them again and taking a closer shot. I too would be slightly sceptical but I honestly wouldn’t post if I wasn’t sure it was her.

 

[bumblebee212]

Please send your thoughts and prayers to Niomi who's late for yoga! We hope you get through this difficult time, Niomi!!

 

[coriander]

Slightly off topic but I just think it's incredible that somebody needs to have multiple baby showers....wtf?

 

[Libertine1975]

Niomi Smart #9 the moon tells her it's time for self love, Tattle tells her to get a real job

 

[BigQueenEnergy]

I was sitting on a table next to Niomi and her friends in a pub in Sussex recently, it was hard not to try listen to her conversation talking about Joe!

Well? What did she say?!

 

[lilamay]

Niomi Smart #9 Over my break-up a little too soon? No, my life's perfect - it must be the moon!

 

[earlgrey]

The question she should be asking is when was the last time I did something for someone else?

 

[JessAmy145]

Sorry, but that “late to yoga” post really touched a nerve. Social distancing on our local buses means there’s very few passengers allowed on so they’re full 90% of the time and it’s meant that - even leaving super early - I nearly miss my train every morning to work. Y’know if you’re reading this Niomi, an actual day job that requires proper work full time for 37 hours a week. Sorry for the rant, but it just annoys me. She lives the life of luxury and has all the time in the world to be able to be on time.

Also... I don’t get why she moans about being late. If she spent less time rubbing crappy over-priced creams on her face and less time prancing around Notting Hill drinking coffees and eating smoothie bowls, she’d actually be on time to commitments. She really wouldn’t survive in the real world of full time work.

Did he really? I couldn't tell what the background was in his stories. I wonder if he just gave her back her furniture, or if it was meant more as a way to change it back/forget her If the latter I do still think it's pretty immature for a 30+ man to be offended by the fact that his FIANCE wanted to make their home look nice/liveable

To be fair she didn’t make it look “nice/liveable” she pretty much waltzed in and over took it. I completely understand that it’s Joe’s flat but ultimately it was his brothers home and I think his brother got frustrated, Niomi didn’t like it and Joe took his brothers side. It also seems like Niomi took the “it’s mine and my fiancé’s flat you’re just a lodger” attitude - I could be wrong but that’s the vibe I picked up from vlogs. I’d be pretty hacked off if my Step-Brothers fiancé moved in and completely eradicated my existence in the flat and switched up my kitchen ingredients into glass jars. She didn’t seem to have much consideration for Freddie’s home regardless of Joe owning the flat or not.

 

[Aneta1993]

Ok it was me exposing her lol

look she just messaged me wtf

 

[overthinkingit]

I thought this public breakup would knock her down a peg or two but she is more conceited and full of herself than ever!

Allow me to help

I'm always highly suspicious of people who pretend they're perfect, it's obnoxious and unrealistic. I present to you all "Normal Niomi", an average young woman (besides the fact that she, unironically, referred to herself as "Lady Smart")

Just look at that awkward graduation photo, she's just like us!

A crispy, cheap, bleached blonde dye job with the roots showing? I've been there too.

A sloppy OOTD snap of her sandals with nasty, worn out insoles. The bar was low back then.

Awkward poses to look skinnier, or edgier?

Posing next to a fancy car you don't own, or clutching an empty champagne glass for a photo op in a hotel suite you didn't stay in? Like a true influencer ahead of the curve.

My personal favorite: flipping pancakes in sagging pajama pants. I've never seen her look more normal. It's charming.

"Normal Niomi", I think I like her

 

[judgejohndeed]

I see the London Chatter has gone on a rant... I can’t believe that anyone would send ‘threatening’ messages, that certainly isn’t ok. That said, the ‘people you don’t know’ has rubbed me up the wrong way, I mean yes sending someone normal you don’t know a message would be really bloody weird. But her job seems to be shilling crap to the public, and she has a public profile with over 100,000 followers. She can’t pick and choose when she wants people to get in touch, I’m sure she is totally delighted when strangers message her positively. It’s obviously hit a nerve because it’s true and she knows it, none of the pictures look socially distanced. Anyway, off topic... back to Niomi!

So if she's 9.5 months pregnant and also has a very sick mother (probably in the older range as well) maybe she shouldn't be fucking about having multiple baby showers? I don't know who this person is but she seems like an insufferable moron tbh. Agree that threatening messages are absolutely not ok however.

I'm not coming for you personally, and I really don't want it to seem that way, but I think that's a really interesting perspective. Maybe the difference is that I've grown up more in the age where this was normal, as I'm only early 20s, so I have a different view but I feel like saying society as a whole has gone to shit because of social media is the same type of thing people used to say about the internet when it first started or legitimately any technological innovation. I think social media, like any other new thing, has its pros and cons, which as we grow, need to be regulated so that we can ensure it doesn't turn into a cesspool. Influencer culture in general is fairly toxic, but I feel like saying social media as a whole is awful is really unfair! I think social media offers so many perspectives and so much information - it's an amazing way to connect with people and understand the world when it is used properly. I also think it is unfair to judge young girls obsessed with their feeds as being vacuous - as someone who went through that phase, it exists for a little in college and high school, and then you grow out of it, for the most part.

I think what I'm saying is that as you grow up with it, you go through different phases with it, but most people tend to grow out of it. Influencer culture is absolutely toxic, but social media as a whole can have some amazing positive sides to it - it's such a great way to raise awareness for causes, I feel like I learn so much about what is going on in the world through social media and I would never know what I know or have access to the information or skills I do without it.

I know we're on the Niomi thread and we are talking about influencer culture, which again is awful and gross, especially when it's people Niomi's age that seem to be regressing in maturity and intelligence as they spend more time on social media, but it always rubs me the wrong way when social media as a WHOLE is touted as toxic, when maybe it's more pockets of it that are toxic. I don't know where I'm going with this... I think as a Gen Z, it just hits really hard to constantly be told that we spend too much time on social media and not in the real world, when in a lot of ways, social media is how we learn about the world and develop our opinions on major issues.

God I'm sorry; it's really hard for me to say what I want to the point :? I think I just have massive issues with absolute statements just because it's really hard for me to see things as black and white.




According to his LinkedIn, he went to Exeter. I'm not from the UK, but that's considered a really good school, right?

I’m 35, so I experienced what life was like before social media. Life was so much simpler. People didn’t have anxiety and depression to the extent they do these days. And it’s all been linked to the introduction of the smart phone in 2012. Suicide rates have increased since that year. Even I’ve got horrible anxiety and depression. I compare my body to other women on Instagram and I’m a 35 year old woman! I can’t imagine how it much affect young minds.

I feel really sorry for young people growing up with social media. I have no idea how I would’ve handled it during high school.

I work as an interface designer and developer, so I literally manipulate you guys for a living. (Not proud of it). I use psychology to keep you addicted to your phone. And don’t get me started on how damaging porn is for young people. It reduces the grey matter in your brain. So yeah, if we could all go back to 2012, that would be great.

 

[WhippedCreamAndSprinkles]

Joe’s new IG follow . He really wants passion. Poor guy. All he had was stale, boring, plain, toast with Niomi. A fake, empty, passionless, materialistic girl.

the thing is, youngens like you don't know what it even felt like to exist without it so you have no perspective. and for those of us in specifically our 30s, we have the unique perspective of having our shaping adolescent years with both no internet/internet, and no social media/with social media. & everyone above that had most of their lives without it. I am SO FUCKING HAPPY that social media was not really a thing when I was in college. once instagram became a thing, suddenly socializing started getting a little different where there was more focus on where we went/what photos we could get and since then it's gotten SO MUCH WORSE. unfortunately, you will never even know a life without it, so it's hard for you to value the absence of it. but high school & college used to be just about having fun & doing what made you happy and living in the moment (something I dont think a lot of young people even know how to do at all), not trying to find the best thing to do to post to prove to people your life is fun or prove you're pretty or prove you're successful or whatever else. everyone is always trying to PROVE something now. there has also never been more young people depressed than there is nowadays, and it's because everyone is comparing their lives to everyone else's, whether it be aesthetically or career/financially or whatever - always comparing. not to mention how much younger gens value followers. all we had to worry about was having someone to sit with at lunch, now kids have a digital imprint of their popularity via followers? that sounds awful. I could go on, but social media has done way more harm than good. hence why everyone older who knows how it was without it always say this. people can still learn & become aware of issues on the regular internet. social media has just made it easier to manipulate people on what issues matter vs people having to research themselves & discovering other & more important issues. social media has made humanity strive for a collective "ideal" instead of their own personal ideal, and that leads to so much unhappiness since it's only our own personal ideal that matters. ugh god I could write a dissertation on how bad social media is.. TRUST THE OLDS WE KNOW THE DEAL. and just try to stay the fuck off of it more than less, lol
