Very interesting article. I'd love to have more detail about how the influencer industry works.Interesting. Has anyone read this article?
It is tawdry, isn't it?SH dances on the head of a pin to avoid declaring sponsorship. We all can see what is going on. She gets out on a technicality every time. Seriously the amount of Jo Malone mentions recently has been ridiculous. I'm not surprised she hates here - weher shenanigans, so all too easy to call us vindictive trolls rather than informed critics. Her Guardian presence gives a bit of respectability to the rather tawdry influencer line she has adopted.
Thank you! I've missed here. I've been in the back of beyond away from SM (not my choice but no reception at my Mum's). Last time I was away I came back to Freaky Friday and 1000s of posts. This time just SH being her normal silly self and pretending never to come here and being an expert about all films. Reassuring.@Jelly Bean I've missed you!
@Mselvista yes I see what you mean re.The issue being how ok it is to write about it. Personally I like writing which is a bit daring even if the author is being an arse and the more people write about things, the less weird the rest of us feel.
They are all mummy bloggers?I don't remember SH featuring this on IG. https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detai...nne-marie-lodge-samantha-news-photo/929231650
ugh, it's desperate. It shows a lack of wit and classIt’s a knee-jerk hard-try cool SM language. There are plenty of other ways to be edgy and build a memorable public persona.
In all fairness it seems to be an acceptable line of talk with many of them. I really want to get into their heads to see if at the moment of posting they get a little turned on by their own coolness.
That's...diverse.I don't remember SH featuring this on IG. https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detai...nne-marie-lodge-samantha-news-photo/929231650
Oh, a *poet*. That’s fine thenI agree. GC clearly doesn't care if he makes a tit of himself and that is an admirable quality. I think he has a public persona that he plays up to. It could seem duplicitous or it could be a way of preserving one's sanity - any criticism isn't of "the real" you.
Blake Morrison did something similar in As if. There's a passage about undressing hus daughter for bed which is set up so the reader assumes he's undressing a lover. Also a description of his daughter sitting on his lap and him getting an erection. The fuss at the time was whether he should have written about it rather than suggesting there was something paedophilic about it. But that was the 90s and he's a *poet*.
(I found the joke about killing/burning the fictitious child or raping them first funny. Obviously not everyone's taste but not sure what consequences he should have faced for what clearly a joke in bad taste.)
It was a while ago. No consequences.I don't understand why you would want to rape someone for being annoying?
I suppose like any sexual violence it's a way to exert power and control over someone.
This kind of joke might have been normalised for him, but for me it reads as wildly inappropriate and unfunny.
If this gets picked up I'd be surprised if there are no consequences for him.
That's the point I was making with my emphasis.Oh, a *poet*.
Yes, I've already said I do.And you find a ‘joke’ about “killing/burning the fictitious child or raping them first” funny?? FFS.
