this is honestly so random but i'm glad i found this thread. i have been blind in idolizing ruby for years now and i'm glad that this thread have made me realize some things.
Ugh I feel you! Back in the good old days of year 7, everyone used to take the piss out of me for my “posh accent” I used to them hate my voice. 12 years later, I’ve found I’d rather have a posh accent than talk like a smackhead chavIn Ruby's defence, her sister is also well spoken. I have a well spoken voice and that's not because I'm posh, it's just how I talk. I get tit for it a lot but I can't help it. Even my own family take the Mick out of me for it as they've all got accents.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the way she talks. She definitely takes a lot of inspiration from Emma Watson.
However, I think Ruby mainly speaks that way to appear more academic, in my opinion at least.
I honestly forget how old she is. I haven’t read this thread properly so don’t know the mood about how everyone feels about her, but she comes across, (not saying she is) as someone who thinks she’s above everyone elseGenerically long hair can work for anyone, I think it's more about how you style it - and wearing it down and entirely natural is a very 'childish' look especially in combination with her outfit choices. She's baby-faced but plays up to that with how she presents herself. I have a baby face too but because I want to be taken seriously at my Proper Adult Job, I choose hairstyles/outfits/glasses that emphasise I want to be taken seriously and treated like an adult. I'm not sure Ruby will be going into the corporate world but I can't imagine it would work with the way she is currently.
If you were Ruby's friend and were styling her for a Corporate Internship, what would you do?
I think her mother cuts her hair, I got a feeling that it's a regular thing rather than a pandemic solution but I'm not sure. She has gorgeous hair imo but could do with some better cut/styling, even if she wants to keep it very long.Is it just me or she's look better and more her age with a proper hair cut? It's nitpicky but I think that her hair makes her look even younger, it's sort of an awkward length and it doesn't seem like it's been cut in ages. Of course maybe it's just because we're in a pandemic and she hasn't been to the hairdresser in a while to avoid contacting the disease.
I think if she got layers and framing cut in, she'd look more age-appropriate. Thing is, I don't think age-appropriate is what she's going for...Is it just me or she's look better and more her age with a proper hair cut?

Let's put it this way: if she entered a room containing a random assortment of 30 people (of different ages, genders, backgrounds etc.), she'd definitely think that she was the cleverest person there.I honestly forget how old she is.

Wow that absolutely reeks of classism tbhUgh I feel you! Back in the good old days of year 7, everyone used to take the piss out of me for my “posh accent” I used to them hate my voice. 12 years later, I’ve found I’d rather have a posh accent than talk like a smackhead chav![]()
Pff I don’t think the hair cut is the issue for me, I’d probably put it in a bun and not allow her to put the hair clips in. I think the hair clips are a bit primary schoolGenerically long hair can work for anyone, I think it's more about how you style it - and wearing it down and entirely natural is a very 'childish' look especially in combination with her outfit choices.

I've often thought having a few inches chopped off would make the world of difference to her hair. I think past a certain point that super long hair just looks a bit much. When I was a kid hair past your waist was like almost a status symbol, like princess hair, but then aged 14/15 or so girls would have it cut to look a bit more mature. I feel like Ruby could be clinging to her hair in that sense.Is it just me or she's look better and more her age with a proper hair cut?

They just look a bit huge because she’s so petite. Clips like that can look great and very vintage, you just need to style your hair around them a bit. I have some like that and wear them up against a bun, for example. They look fine for work if you’re going for a bit of a vintage vibe - I’m a fan of 50s style dresses which can look very business-like with the right jacket and shoes. It depends where you work, you probably can’t go that quirky if you’re in a very corporate environment, but if you work somewhere a bit more flexible or a bit more ‘arty’ then you can show a bit more character. You just have to be a bit careful with how far you go, a vintage-y blouse and shoes mixed with a plainer suit/skirt is fine, or a plainer outfit with some subtle vintage jewellery or hair accessories. You just don’t want to go down the ‘explosion in a branch of Monsoon’ route!Pff I don’t think the hair cut is the issue for me, I’d probably put it in a bun and not allow her to put the hair clips in.

Agreed, the clips are fine but she just uses them in a very functional way if you know what I mean, rather than as an actual accessoryThey just look a bit huge because she’s so petite.

Yes! Her hair looks so healthy and when she curls it, it really suits her. I just feel she could style her hair more often or cut it a lot shorter to make her look older/more mature. Then again, if she likes her hair how it is, then who's to stop her- it's still really pretty.I think her mother cuts her hair, I got a feeling that it's a regular thing rather than a pandemic solution but I'm not sure.

Or she keeps calling and Blakeney ain't picking up!For the last 2 days in her academic planner, Ruby had ‘call Blakeney’ (sorry, spelling!) so hopefully that means they’re still on good terms!
She sent her a letter in a vlog not long ago! Blakeny had written to her!For the last 2 days in her academic planner, Ruby had ‘call Blakeney’ (sorry, spelling!) so hopefully that means they’re still on good terms!
It’s probably the main drawing room of the house that just hasn’t been furnished/decorated particularly well. I’d guess that they don’t use it much since they also have a snug.The white panelled room with the fireplace where she has filmed stuff is a confusing space to me. It is my dream room, but it seems empty, and it seems like quite a grand almost hall like room with high ceilings, despite her home appearing otherwise a more cottage style home (a large cottage albeit). I know her parents are well off but why do they have a grand yet vacant hall in their cottagey home? I'm so confused
Her youtube admin is (just in general) absolutely shockingI don't see the point in uploading a video stating what time pre-orders start, AFTER the time pre-orders start...at least upload it about an hour or so beforehand
