The blusher story was a woman who announced she was leaving the group after a spat and said "duck you and your blusher". She dm'd Sali to apologise and was let back in (but not identified, she "outed" herself when gtl closed because of the new site).
Yes, we had a thread where people were confessing things, and Emma (the person in question) fess’d up. It was just before we all moved over to the forum in March 2013.
I can understand why she wanted a proper site - spending time on FB wasn’t a cost-effective use of her time. BUT it was such a piss poor site in terms of functionality and she expected to be able to just rake money in with relatively little input from herself.
GTL in the beginning was pure magic and i really loved it. The members (some of whom are legit friends for life) became a huge part of my every day life. Shame she had to spoil it.
(Also, she now makes it sound like she set up SHB out of the goodness of her heart, but she was very clear in the beginning that she needed to be financially compensated for her time. In addition, her now husband (as well as Debra, I believe) invested financially in the site at the beginning. No way would they have done that if they didn’t expect to be compensated with some serious moolah later on down the road!)
On an entirely different note...
... I just watched her latest igtv, and her boobs do look a lot bigger than they used to. Perhaps she thinks having a reduction will make her look slimmer and more youthful like it did for Sam Chapman. Also, Sam has really spoiled her looks with all that filler - and it deffo looks like Sali has had some, too. They seem to be developing similar face shapes. At least SC is open about the work she has had done though.
