Yep, the very premise is arrogant. And redundant. And like you said, who on earth is the target audience?

It isn't a handy guide for the smart woman
at all is it? The publisher must know it will be out of date and redundant before it gets into a shop if that was it's purpose.This is Sali's way of doing a memoir loosely disguised as 'life lessons'. It is for her friends and that demographic for self recognition, and to smugly reassure each other that they are doing things 'the right way'. Nobody will look at it for 'tips'. It will just be a rehash of Twitter and The Pool think pieces. Sali's thoughts on everything with the loose premise of questions that need to be answered.
And as said upthread, I'm baffled she apparently will write about sex - as the fact we repeated here THINGS SHE HERSELF SAID about her sex life required much pearl clutching and gasping at the smelling salts.
Sex advice from Sali. Yeah nah
It was entirely voluntary - Sali’s Army kind of thing.No, tell me that wasn't a thing she had people doing?
What was the term? Salinista?
Such a revolutionary
That and Sali’s Army. Nauseating.
Some people are born followers. Bizarre
I agree but also some people just loved an excuse to post a picture of their face and wait for the compliments.
Born followers is one thing. And that’s ok. These guys were brown nosers.
Sound like her group was a quagmire of slavish idolatry and humble bragging
Most forums are anonymous but SHB wasn't with people openly posting photos and many having their real name. That ended up being it's downfall. I wonder is that why Sali can't get her head around 'anonymous trolls'. But anonymity for forums is a more common practice than the open nature of hers
Bet they closed ranks pretty swiftly on dissenters too
I wasn't on it that much but I do remember there was once a Q and A thread where you could ask Sali anything beauty related. People asked questions and she took ages to respond, someone said why did you offer to do this when you're not replying? She got tit with people calling her rude and so on
God she really sees herself as some kind of aspirational lifestyle guru
I don't think it was called a Q and A. It was something like a beauty surgery or clinic
If this book simply references pieces which were written and published before, will each chapter be like
Chapter 1 “How to poach an egg”
I literally wrote a tweet about this - see tweet.
Chapter 2 “Finding your style”
See previous

I quite liked that openness - it’s what allowed for so many to become friends. I think the problem was the cliques - Sali with her “Shed” guys and the clique of people she favoured. Anyone who agreed with her viewpoint was ok, and those who had dissenting views (no matter how well founded) were demonised and quashed very quickly.
Here - people do dissent but differing viewpoints are heard and respected (at least on the Sali threads) and bigotry is shown the door very quickly. There, apologism for racism and homophobia was rife.
The problem, to be quite honest, was Sali herself and the mean girls culture she encouraged and actively perpetuated. That was what led to the mass departure of members a few years ago on the forum.
Serves her right.
She tweeted about a raffle for a prize of a 60 minute beauty consultation with her and a goodie bag. The charity is a good cause (children in need) to be fair
Yeah and the mods acting like they were all knowing and untouchable
