Retro Flame #8

[Twintwin]

She misses out on NY not having a proper job. All her friends are Irish and she has lived there 10 years. She doesn’t have one American friend or a friend of a different race. She could have really expanded her horizons by working and mingling with colleagues from all over the U.S/ world. It could have been a side gig she posts so little and her followers haven’t gone up in years. I do give her props for not buying a load of bot followers though.

I know I've previously said Kaelins TikTok was good, I kindfully would like to now retract that statement. The TikToks where her, red fox and the 2 fellas are miming. give me strength! Cringe beyond cringe. My insides turn! It's what my 11 year old cousin is doing and at that she's doing it better!!!

Pet peeve is when Urka calls clothes “pieces”. It’s a manky purple bodycon dress will ya calm down!

how are these 2 still in the game, they are a joke. the height of excitement this week was getting the couch steam cleaned. kaelin did I photo drop..... going back as far as Halloween, so we had thanksgiving, the Hamptons, NY at Christmas the usual shots, kerry, London, nye in Paris, identical to retros stories. how are they making the money they are spending on these trips? London and Paris aren't cheap, they stayed in Kensington like these girls aren't just finding somewhere basic with good location to get the head down, they go fancy. very fancy

They have to have another job and even at that it's not like they would be in senior jobs bringing in a big check because neither of them have any professional experience to my knowledge. Neither of them post enough #Ads to be making enough money or Erika also barely posts on youtube anymore so isn't getting money from that to support their lifestyle of living in a very expensive apartment, traveling all the time, buying designer shit and buying a hamptons house.. . Something is not adding up and it's also not being funded by the boys either.

Rumour has it a European destination wedding is in the pipeline

Portofino so is it? Sure they've super romantic memories if that holiday they took there with Kaelin and David and her parents
All that quality time with the fam and romantic meals for 6
I find their lack of dirty weekends highly disappointing tbh

 

[Ciaranicola]

Unrelated to retro but how will Niamh O Sullivan cope now that her wedding is over she literally made it her personality for the last year + I use to like her, she's very I offensive but the wedding carry on was not my cup of tea at all!

They were far from the only ones. There are developers who were owning far more than that (hundreds of millions) after the crash who are now back in business building estates. A lot of people lost their shirts back then and it was nearly all written off.

Midlands property developer has almost €25 million in Celtic Tiger debt written off

www.lynchlaw.ie

One of Ireland's biggest developers says it may never repay its €120m debt

Gannon Homes was founded by prominent Celtic Tiger builder Gerry Gannon.

I agree a totally OTT reaction lol. Four million is a drop in the ocean compared to some of the debts written off.

It's fine to say its an over reaction but I know a person who lost his job during the crash, no savings just a normal person, he went into arrears, banks hounded him and I mean hounded him. He owed €120,000. Banks took house, sold it at a loss. He had a lovely wife & 3 kids, the man couldn't hack it any longer & committed sucide leaving his family devasted so while 4 million is a drop in the ocean, everyone should be treated the same.

Calling it now it’s at The Plaza over Christmas

My vote is for ceremony at Ralph’s Coffee, followed by a ketchup spaghetti reception at that one Italian place she’s seemingly been to five billion times.

 

[Itsluluirl]

$1059 to stay around the corner in the Plaza Hotel… these two are so smug and unbelievably boring!
Oh great another launch, let me guess… Loulerie?!
YAWNNNNN ‍

Thank god they managed to fit a walk in Central park before check out. God knows when they'll be able to do that again, poor dears

 

[BadaboomBadabing]

Her hair and make up is the exact same as it is every other day of the week

 

[Julyrain]

Omg I would guess she didn't get much change from 30 grand or am I over the top

Treble that at least plus more! The average "normal" hotel wedding here would cost 30k!!

 

[Canyouactuallycope]

Are they still on that holiday to Greece ? it's so boring when Kaelin starts spamming about a week after retro, she never gets to post anything before erika or even in real time. I laugh every time they say the mother is always so glam... just because she's wearing white trousers and a pair of sunglasses . I don't see it myself. she looks late 70s and like she needs a few early nights, she always looks like she hasn't been to bed.

Barry Egan did a piece on Erica today: ‘People probably think that life is easier for me than it is’ — Influencer Erika Fox on the decade of hard work it took to make it in New York

It's been about 3 years since I last checked a Retro Flame thread/looked at her instagram/YT, but I did check one of her recent vlogs just there.

Nothing has changed. It's the same vanilla boring ass content as ever. Goes to bed at 9pm now or whatever. Yet lives in one of the most culturally popping cities on earth.

Long live Prawn Couch.

I think we’re not far away from a ‘because so many of you have requested it, I’ve made the difficult decision to step back from content creation to focus on my lifestyle and interior consultancy business.’ type announcement, and then she’ll basically just be funded by tommy and parents and spend her time ordering cream sofas for her Irish insta friends.

 

[HumphreyB]

I think she looks utterly ridiculous and actually pathetic, she’s in a beautiful city and rather than being comfortable for some sightseeing she’s dressed up like some southern retired housewife sipping aperol

 

[mcfeez]

For a natural redhead her skin is very orange!!

Personally think it looks silly. Im a ginger and fake tan on me just always looks ... fake.

 

[thawmeisjustsomtinels]

Is Erika Fox still an influencer? What was the purpose of the big rebranding earlier this year (new website, magazine shoots etc) if she hasn’t really done anything since? Was it all done as part of a visa process?

 

[Twintwin]

It’s not without its risks. Mortgage in US after 20% down payment would be $7K per month incl taxes. He would need to have a strong summer rental calendar to cover the quiet winter months.

Check out the decor… bland!

It’s renting for 48,000 POUNDS STERLING a month in the summer so I think they will be fine. This is why she is no longer an influencer.

 

[manpyj89]

I generally find her harmless but this made me lol and cringe at the same time. Everyone dressed nicely for a lovely dinner out and Erika there in a floor length wedding dress, just shy of wearing a veil.

 

[Sky Sports Main Event]

Just thinking about her hen and wedding. I actually don't think I'd even be bothered watching her or Kaelins pages for it. It'll be an absolute bore. A rent a crowd group of friends dressed in black, and retro in as many €2000 white dresses she can find.
I'd actually pay for the hen myself if Kaelin agreed to do willy straws, blow up Tommy doll, stripper, the works. She'd die. And she won't enjoy one min of her wedding because she'll be micro managing every second.
