The Sell-Out Who Couldn’t Sell Out?Has she actually posted anywhere about the box selling out? I haven't seen a peep, this makes me think it definitely wasn't a sell out in the true sense of the word
It must kill her that she’s not on Bella Freud’s gifting list. She’s shilled so hard for herThose Bella Freud jumpers aren't cheap
Mr Hughes was a writer on his programme (she told us on Instagram stories).I reckon a Charlie Brooker Annual Analysis of the world of influencers will fit the bill perfectly.
She started one a good few years back and it never materialised. I remember it being mentioned at the end of an interview. Didn’t it even have a title?Awwww she is trying so hard to be part of that author group, maybe she will attempt a novel. Given her writing skills, that could be hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

Don’t ask me how I know, don’t want to admit to deep research nor nuthin’, but “Youpi” is a French way of writing “yippee”. Jenny Colgan lives (or lived) in France.What is YOUPI?
Falling and laughing, I think (remembered because of the Orange Juice song).She started one a good few years back and it never materialised. I remember it being mentioned at the end of an interview. Didn’t it even have a title?
Quelle horreur, c’est une boîte de merde!ugh, so it's an affectation *exclaims in French*
If she’s got a touch of writer’s block, I’m sure we could help out, workshop a few ideas...She started one a good few years back and it never materialised. I remember it being mentioned at the end of an interview. Didn’t it even have a title?
FWIW, I would have bought a box - I like all the contents (although didn’t realise Ginsberg was a ponce, so thanks for that info tattle!) but I just dislike her too much
Didn't she recently mention she was planning an updated version of Pretty Honest also?Falling and laughing, I think (remembered because of the Orange Juice song).
She was going to do a fashion version of Pretty Honest too - that would have aged well.
Yes, that was autocorrect and you can’t edit here so by the time I noticed...If she’s got a touch of writer’s block, I’m sure we could help out, workshop a few ideas...
(Ginsberg is N O N C E, btw)
Same here. I will admit I didn't know about Ginsberg's predilections until these threads. I'd always thought he and the rest of the Beat Poets were just pretentious crashing bores (a book called Howl! FFS) but once you know the true depravity of the man you can't unsee it can you. So why anyone would have a range of goods celebrating him is baffling, equally anyone who would buy the stuff - if they knew.I don’t know, she can argue about full size/ small size/definitely not mini til the cows come home/all boxes are shifted (delete as appropriate), but this awful candle keeps coming back to the forefront of my mind.
I think that she didn’t know but she can’t admit that. She has to seem like she knows everything. In fact she’s known for ages..
I had genuinely assumed Sali didn't know, but her answers to people pointing it out don't back that up. She wasn't absolutely horrified, but did that 'it's just a name', and thought it being a film quote justified it.
It is almost as bad taste as a range of goods with 'Springtime for Hitler' on them - just a name and a film quote.
I agree with this. She would much rather dig her heels instead of holding her hands up and saying she wasn't awareI think that she didn’t know but she can’t admit that. She has to seem like she knows everything. In fact she’s known for ages.
To not know would show she’s just copying and isn’t really a Ginsberg ‘fan’. Just she thought it was cool. Like kids wearing AC/DC T-shirts despite only listening to little mix (or whoever the pop trend is these days.)
