Sali Hughes #60 I will put you in a folder

[HotesTilaire]

“That one friend who tells you…” it’s been a decade or two since any of my friends gave that advice to each other because we‘re not teenagers? W all have our own identities, we all follow the fashion/grooming/style which suits us and we care less about what others think?

 

[LyraBalaqua]

Jesus, just stop leaning over into the camera , it’s weird!

What a world .

 

[SqualorVictoria]

While Sali might not phrase it as awfully as that, she has made a big thing in the past of being a 'talking mirror friend' and 'straight talking'. Plus she openly admitted to telling a friend she could use some botox

 

[katz2022]

She’s got a cheek to bitch about the beauty advent calendars when she gets heaps of freebies all year round #itsmyjob

 

[Jelly Bean]

Have Hersheshesons had enough of her freeloading at last?
I am genuinely baffled - what is the 'total hair makeover'? It looks *slightly* different if you squint hard enough. More wispy flyaways?

“We are olways using it at night... the next morning we are olways using SPF...”

WTF is she doing with language lately?

ETA: It’s like she is trying to find a quirky turn of phrase to differentiate herself from the rest of the mob of instahuns.

She sounds like one of those prim tutors they used to have on (throwback ahead!) Ladette to Lady.

"Now Ladies, what do we ollways do in the night and ollways do the next morning?"

 

[Pavlova&Cream]

Madonna as a verb JFC, Wali, can you sink any lower?

 

[Loobloo]

Speaking of Jonny Marr, I recently learned that the French for 'I am fed up' (or similar English phrase) sounds like 'Jonny Marr', which pleases (cossets?) me immensely, as 'I am fed up' could be a Smiths track. Feels like stars aligning or something haha.

j'en ai marre.

Thread suggestion

Sali Hughes#761 Shallow Sal and the advice we don’t need.

 

[GalofHal]

I do remember that. It was back in her forum days wasn't it? I have a feeling someone said something negative about Eric and she pounced at what a good guy he was. Obviously it was before his kiddie porn charges but he has never been a good guy.

I was at school with Eric. Had to put him to the end of the dinner queue when he tried to sneak in to the top one day.

Absolutely agree with the above posts. It's dispicable. It's like targeting insecure teens. Let's get them again just before they give up and shrivel. Rinse them for every last penny.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I don't want to listen again and my memory is dreadful but here is a vague rundown of some of their crushes:

Old Fizzy Knickers herself:

Boy from school.
Jerry off of The Good Life.
Bob Hoskins.
Bob Mortimer.
Guy Garvey.
Billy Corkhill.
Basil Brush.
Johnny Marr.
James Dean Bradfield (when podgy).
Richard Burton when with Elizabeth Taylor.
Paul Newman - her only concession to stereotype heart throb.
Adam Horowitz from Beastie Boys.


Serge Gainsbourg (yuck).
Chewbacca.
The Channel 4 metal man logo thing.
St Paul's Cathedral. So cray
Graham Coxon.
Gonzo from The Muppets.
Paul McCartney. Some wierd exposition about him being nearly female. Due to him having long hair in the 70s (so unique). She needs to get over this type of shit.
Jeff Buckley.
Fox from Robin Hood.
Harrison Ford.
Zelensky.

There are more but I've forgotten them.

They really are a pair of insufferable bores. Caitlin especially. She's exactly the type that thinks she's always the most fascinating and insightful person in the room

How do we make this whole post a thread title? 11/10. Would read again.

Couldn’t agree more. Post of the year

Pleased to see her say this. The hospitality lavished on beauty writers and influencers is one of the aspects of the beauty industry that I despise the most. Given that offering and/or accepting a bribe is illegal, I do wonder how they get away with it.

Hard agree. Watching all the dramatization and documentaries on the opioid epidemic in America, a feature is always made of the extravagant hospitality and gifts the prescribing doctors received - it struck me how it's the same method as the beauty industry. The toll on individuals is obviously not as evident and extreme as addiction and death, but there is still an unmeasurable but negative toll on women's finances and psyches.

I particularly liked the exaggerated gum chewing. You could feel her through the screen thinking she was so fucking cool to be MARRIED! RE-WEARING THE VAMPYRES WIFE! IN BARCELONA FOR FREE!

(Also, when she holds up the shoes I burst out laughing. She’s not right)

 

[eppingforestbambi]

Preserved for posterity.

I take it from this outfit she has zero plans to dance then. Will she sit there with her arms folded the whole time? She looks like an angry Art teacher.

 

[HowardMoon]

She probably went on Lorraine thinking she was looking timeless and classy. However, she’s giving a dowdy secondary school teacher simmering with rage or perhaps an office manager on the warpath. Doubt she was going for a generic work outfit from the 3 for 2 section in Dorothy Perkins look but she’s fucking nailed it, fairplay.
---

It's just telegraphing that she had more pressing things to do that day like taking selfies, using her label maker and putting a potato in the oven. I sometimes sympathise with her on the limp, thin hair, there are days where nothing helps, it's just going to be crap and flat, but it doesn't look like anyone did anything for her here before going on air. Maybe she waved them off.

At least the aerial (weird hook made of hair she often has on the top of her head like a teletubby) was flat on this occasion. Small mercies

 

[melfish]

Just watching Paulina Porizkova talk about her skincare routine. She's doesn't wash her face in the morning "because my face did not get dirty overnight", unlike Sali's, whose gets covered in dust

 

[Raindropsonkittens]

@SqualorVictoria Sam was saying how she doesn’t care what anyone says/thinks about her though it does bother her when people are unkind to her loved ones. She sounded very emphatic about not giving a shit, which I thought sounded very enlightened & empowered but Fizzy waded in with an observation that this was a throw back to ‘Little Sam’ taking care of everyone but herself. Kind of on the couch & in the shitter with Fizzy Freud.

That screen shot is fascinating and no doubt a far more accurate representation of what She Here actually looks like. Saggy bits and those dewlaps you get at the corners of your mouth. No shame when you are nearly 50 ffs. But it is people like Sali who make those normal things shameful. And reinforce the narrative normal aging is unattractive.
And quite reassuring that you can have all the tweakments and expensive free shite you like but you will still age normally like the rest of us.
