Sali Hughes #32 Here's one moisturiser, now piss off.

[Jelly Bean]

Thanks to @zcfthc5 for the thread title suggestion. Won by a huge majority. Your prize is a bag of baby potatoes to get in you at your leisure

Recap.
* As mentioned Sali eats potatoes in every form. I think it might be her *thing*
* She has seen Lisa Eldridge's makeup series and was asked to write about it but was far too busy
* She has fearlessly championed the return of the Body Shop avocado body butter. The product no one everyone was crying out for.
* Hersheson's are still cruelly ignoring her pleas for a free haircut. Who will care for the caregivers?

Excellent summary, @Jellybean. Killer title, @zcfthc5.

I’ve finally made it! credit shared with @WinterSolstice for their genius original

 

[WinterSolstice]

Aw thanks @zcfthc5 but should Sali get some credit too for LITERALLY becoming a piss-take of herself?

EXCELLENTE thread title, sheer perfection.

Can only wonder what is being paid or what deal has been struck behind the scenes for her to devote an entire column to that BS body butter.

 

[rosemarina]

EXACTLY. Give it a couple of months and we’ll see.

She’s showing her down lines how to be a #bossbabe #businessowner

 

[Disillusioned]

The #content is just relentless...

 

[Grizzlybear]

“Yep.” Is she fuming this hanger on hadn’t already noticed that Sali had approved this crisp (*bangs gavel*)

 

[Houseplantkiller]

Another couple of influencers i follow have been championing that avocado body butter this week. Something fishy going on here.....

Is the Guardian’s code of conduct online anywhere?
It would be interesting to see what their position on ‘payola’ is.

note to lawyers: not suggesting anything of that sort is going on here of course. Just asking for curiosity.

Ooh Sali on Radio 4 now talking about Moss Bros and the growing popularity of subscription services. She is all for them. Oh dear she inhales noisily and gasps such a lot - really obvious on the radio

No mention of her trolls.

What does Sali know about Moss Bros? (genuinely curious as an ex employee)

Moss Bros now have a subscription service (I think?) and Sali was on talking about subscription services generally. The was a other commentator, who talked more and went into the environmental impact of more delivery vans. Sali really just said something like some subscription services are good {{{gasp}}} and others aren't. In a variety of ways. Don't think she had a particular view of MB.

 

[zcfthc5]

Ah fair, they've always done rental, but I guess 'subscription' sounds more modern.
Wow, that sounds very insightful from our Sal.

Yes, I heard that too and wasn't sure what expertise she was supposed to be bringing to the table, even after she'd finished speaking.
I guess she's a retail expert if you consider all the shilling she does?

Clearly a big PR push by The Body Shop going on. Are they the kind of influencers who don't get out of bed for less than 10k or are they smaller ones still doing stuff on the basis of gifted product?

And I thought it odd Beauty Banks was mentioned in the intro to who she was (not by her). Literally nothing to do with the topic.
She was an odd choice to talk about it overall. The other person was far more knowledgeable.
