This is the top tattle comment of all time.
Perfume parlour would have been a fabulous addition to her list but maybe they asked her to stay away from beauty? She’s recently done one of her budget edits, hasn’t she? I don’t think Estée Lauder would be impressed if she turned lots of people onto perfume parlour.
Noticed that Sali did a Bobbi Brown paid ad on Instagram and a week later a Guardian column mainly about MAC. Both are owned by Estée Lauder. I’ve no experience of the rules around this stuff so I’m not sure what the standard is. However, if I were paid for an ad by a company privately one week, I would not be advertising another branch of their business in an impartial column in a national newspaper the next. Even if I wanted to. Even if I was genuinely desperate to tell people that buying single shadows is the best thing in the world.
Also a bit of the cool girl thing with eating junk food. Similar to that pathetic "dare me" Welsh cakes tweet. I mean, ffs, she's a woman in her 40s. Attention seeking twat.She’s just keepin’ it real. Showing that she is discerning & can see through the smoke & mirrors & determine what is actually good as opposed to ‘perceived quality’. It adds to her brand cachet of honesty, sound judgement & great taste. Never mind that it doesn’t jive with her sustainability expertise or that she is easily popped in the pockets of big brands (dressing for Leonard) for the right price. We are meant to thank her for liberating us from the middle-clasd tyranny of Nespresso & Dualit and feel grateful that we have her blessing to eat Curly Wurlys and Walkers cheese & onion. She’s a taste-maker, early adopter & opinion former and her views COUNT.
You forgot 'the palest'God, it must be so exhausting for her wanting always to be the best, the first, the most aspirational, the most down to earth, the shortest, the most Welsh, the most absolute, the most resolute and the most in-the-know.
But she will defend to the death anyone's right to wear her look. Which she wouldn't notice. Couldn't describe it. Pick it out of a line up.Wouldn’t notice a Kardashian , really?, back-pedalling just a little in that exchange.
Yes thousands. So that means at least 2000. Where the fuck would you keep them? I hope (entirely unrelated to here as she never reads here) she puts up a photo of these 1000s.Did she actually say she’s got ‘thousands’ of glossy magazines? I’ve got a few copies of The Face in my loft that I saved but not thousands, although I did buy every issue I could.
Also, not being aware that menopause skin care is coming is short sighted, if I got that right - I’ve thought that for years. It’s a big marketing opportunity really. Might have got both of these things wrong tho.
Sali really is quite the anachronism, isn’t she? A lot of her advice comes across as something you would read in a copy of The Rules, or something. Fragranced body lotion for sex, not letting your bloke’s mother visit more than one weekend every three months...Sali, if you're using fragranced body lotions for sex (wtf), I think we might have discovered the cause of your cystitis (it ain't the fruity shower gel!)
On QVC shopping channel apparently the word is banned and they must say Affordable instead.Could she not use ‘inexpensive’ rather than ‘cheap’? ‘Cheap’ could be considered as being somewhat derogatory .....
My retired academic father reads the LRB and would still know a Kardashian if he saw oneWouldn’t notice a Kardashian , really?, back-pedalling just a little in that exchange.
