The dirty swank, talking about having tan developing and not having washed it off when trying on WHITE leather jeans and other items before deciding whether to keep or return them.
Dragged up.

The "that morning/afternoon/evening light" posts are literally SO boring and repetitive. Is she really unable to come up with any other caption at the very least?

I'm following some other influencers from New York and their content is so exciting. They post on their grid and stories pretty much everyday, go out to amazing events every night and generally want to make me move to New York.

Some of them are really into fashion (and get invited to all the fashion events) but others show all the amazing buildings, galleries and things there is to do there. She shows us pictures from her apartment window and central park every single weekend. What is going on? If you take a scroll through her grid there is literally nothing New York related. Literally pictures of herself in either black or white clothes and pictures of the beach/pool from holidays. How can she be sustaining herself from influencing at this point?

So she doesn’t have any New York content and her fashion content is questionable at best she must have another job! I look at influencers like Arielle charnas and she’s literally always posting some sort of fashion even though I find her annoying i think she has good fashion sense so still look and she’s got 3 kids (granted she’s probably got a lot of help!) Erika literally has zero responsibilities not sure how old she is 33 or something at that age it’s very strange for a woman to not have anything to be responsible for!

I watched stories from Laura de Barra during her recent trip to New York, she may sometimes be a bit much but she squeezed more into a short stay than I have seen from this bore in years

It really is a case of Erika lives in NY but hasn't really lived there.
Her yrs there have been superficial, she has never gone deep into city life.
Her visa has been an absolute waste, beige apartments, pasta, wine, pilates, sunrises and sunsets, central park, staged stroll across a pedestrian crossing basically sums up her however many yrs in a vibrant eclectic city.

The summer in the Hamptons thing is wild too. Paying rent on two expensive properties at once, yet she gets zero contint out of it beyond another beige home tour. So so nice. I'd say retirement is her dream. She does nothing.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. She does NOTHING remotely interesting with her time. I'm around her age and probably make a lot less money than her and work a full-time job but this week alone I went to two gallery openings, a DJ set, and I'm going to a secret speakeasy comedy show tonight. There is cool stuff happening EVERY NIGHT in NYC, but Retro's off having pasta and red sauce in another overpriced restaurant she saw on Instagram.

I watched the vlog so you all dont have to!

Talked about her cover on Stellar mag for a solid 5 minutes
Talked about how lipstick gets on the invisalign more than just her teeth
They are not getting married in Ireland and are currently trying to choose between two destinations. Kept calling the venue 'vinu' which I loved!
Her an Tommy have applied for greencards. This will give them 10 years more in U.S
Went to two events. Why doesnt she post these events on her grid? At least it would be something. Right now she's giving nothing like.

Been nosey looked up 01 visa

According to google can't see how she qualifies for the 01 visa who does she know or what is going on. Mammy & daddy coming over again next week seriously is sly fox running out of muala 🤣

The O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those ...3 Mar 2023


demonstrate that you have extraordinary ability, you must provide proof that you have sustained national or international acclaim or a record of extraordinary achievement. Because the O-1 visa is a temporary work visa, it requires the applicant to have a sponsor for the petition.

Interesting. Who was her sponsor I wonder?

Really this visa is for famous athletes/actors/musicians. How she got it I'll never know.

Tbh - the interpretation of the O-1 visa for ‘social media influencers’ hasn’t really been established or understood - why you get a load of these nobodies getting O-1s by showing they have a few followers, some interest in the US, and a brand deal or two… I’m more intrigued how they’re justifying the green card application

I had her visa. I'd imagine she was sponsored by a US agent or management company. Loads of people in creative industries are on O1 visas.

interesting. I know you can’t go into detail but I’m assuming that the documentation to show evidence of suitability for that visa was significant?
I know someone who had the same visa but for scientific achievements and they had hurdles to jump through to prove their eligibility for it - needing peer reviewed published papers, phd, write ups from colleague in the industry to show that they were uniquely qualified in that field and multiple requests for evidence to keep backing it up before it was approved.

I just can’t see how a daily iced coffee, a weekly photo of sun rise from a soulless apartment with a tag ‘this view - never gets old’, a monthly blow dry with ‘the best’, a biweekly walk through Central Park and an occasional partnership with a jewellery company in a different country qualifies someone for a US visa.

Yes, there's a huge amount of documentation needed, but if you work in an industry where your work is getting published/awarded it's not too hard to get approved. That type of thing happens a lot in creative industries. It wouldn't have been hard for Retro with all of her press coverage/collaborations, TV appearances, etc. It's the main reason why so many bloggers go for that visa. You just need to show you're a person with a decent amount of recognition, and a good lawyer should be able to get you approved.

Kaelin is growing on me on TikTok! Actually getting to see her personality & style! I think if she did influencing herself she'd make a better go of it than Red Fox.

I like her too. She is consistent with posting which is maybe it’s something she could teach Urka
