Something about SH seems to attract these toxic personalities.

Narcissists deliberately collect this type of person. They then turn them into what is known as “flying monkeys”. Once you know what to look for they are easily spotted. Sadly not always as easily avoided.

oh God, please don’t chuck me out, but that’s the only thing that works for me. I peel skin off my lips & this stuff is only thing I’ve found that actually “heals” it. BUT - I buy it on eBay!

If it works it works. I was given an Alpha H lip perfector balm, at £25 for a tiny 10ml it’s more than I would want to spend on a lip balm but my god it’s good.

I can't believe she had a flipping mole in a break off WhatsApp group! That is absurd levels of control freakery.

How can the Guardian call that a beauty column. Its just a list of products, any one of us could do that, and better. There is no knowledge, thought, care or advice in those words and certainly no journalistic talent.

the train #Ad is a right proper cringe. Actually was a bit embarrassed for her.

that biog, written in the style of Donald Trump. Fourth book, just why???? I love how the previous three were ‘bestselling’. Were they? Really?

Amazon create super obscure categories so virtually anyone can call themselves a bestseller. I take a good look at the Times bestsellers list every week and I don’t recall her last one on there. But it may have snuck in the week it was published, when all the pre-orders count towards first week sales.

Influencers do all sorts to be able to claim bestseller status - I remember Lily Pebbles doing ridiculous prize draws for pre-orders - £500 spaceNK vouchers and all sorts. She snuck in at the bottom of the times list with 3,000-odd copies sold IIRC and then it disappeared.

It’s the Facebook group ‘get the look’ which was (or is? I’m not on it now) a sort of spin off the old guardian column. Then moved to SHB forum and now moved back to Facebook.. have I got that right? I missed the whole move / shut down of SHB forum because I hadn’t looked at it for about three years. Was there an announcement or did it die a long slow death..?

Did she win an achiever award at that CEW thing?
And seriously In the Bathroom won three industry awards? WtF.
Out of interest what magazine did she edit?

I wondered about which mag she was Editor of too. She didn’t win anything at those awards and she made it all about honouring Terry Barber , nothing said about her gal pals .

It’s interesting that the bio goes on so much about her awards. There is a time and place for them but... most people see awards for what are, and everyone knows awards are like assholes...

But the last line of that bio explicitly says 'In 2019 she won a CEW achiever award'. But she didn't?

I don't know what it's like in other sectors but I work in law, they love an award, but you have to apply to be considered. You might be invited to put a submission together but ultimately you are putting yourself forward.

There was a poster on SHB who popped up a couple of times under different usernames. They said they were male but were interested in make up, perfume and in particular a certain kind of bag (I think it was a Mulberry?). They often asked for advice and there was something undefinable that set off my spidey senses from the start but I let it slide. It turned out a lot of people felt the same. There was a gradual progression to creepiness and assholery and I can’t remember exactly how it came to a head but I remember calling him out on something and then exchanging DMs with someone who felt the same. And then it transpired that he had been DMing members in a VERY creepy way so he was reported and eventually banned. And I THINK it became apparent that the mods were well aware of the creepiness but hadn’t bothered to act, despite some of the creepiness involving a member’s young child. There was a bit of an outcry which was swiftly dampened and we were told we ‘weren’t allowed’ to talk about it, even though the purpose of talking about it was to make sure other people were safe and aware he had been a creep. Lots of back-pedalling then quite nasty stuff followed and eventually those who were upset were accused of shit stirring and made to feel unwelcome unless we toed the line.
Im probably leaving a lot out/forgetting detail as it was so long ago.

In her Bio there is a long list of brands she has had commercial dealings with. The Delia affect on sales is a bit of an annoying turn of phrase - even though l have definitely contributed to that in the past.

She is the director of three companies now - Pretty Honest, The Beauty Banks and The Communication Store. - google ‘Sali Hughes Companies House’
