Sofie's World

[moronglace]

Yeah, I think she wants to be the people who can say they have lived in Italy a decade but she’s being dishonest about it.



I get it, Italy is disorganized and nothing works the way things seemingly should, everything is unnecessarily complicated, but these kind of complaints feel like… idk, something you vent to a friend about and forget a few hours later or at the most in an IG story, not stuff you post on TikTok for it to just sit there forever.. I always got the vibe that her mom is a Karen and I think Sofie totally has a Karen side to her. It’s showing.

 

[emm]

I'll be blunt...she likely couldn't handle FT and being a mom. I don't think she had any intention of returning and maxed her allotted time until the end. Granted SR gets low reviews as a workplace in general for being stressful and vindictive. Now she earns probably even more just being home and collabing with groups and brands like The Four Seasons and selling on her storefront. She did a YouTube video mentioning her quitting back around this TikTok and alluded there was a story, but I doubt she'll ever tell it.

I don't know why, but I feel like her tour in September with Emilio didn't get a huge outpouring of requests. It was months after the first announcement and she still had a couple spaces open. I guess we'll see!

I just found it wild she announced quitting her job, then saying "We bought an apartment!!" Lol. Who does that? People with safety nets.

Very true, would Emilio be earning that much mkney?

It annoys me that she just laughs inanely at absolutely everything. Complaining about instagram removing subtitles or whatever then just laughing. It irrationally annoys me

Yeah, that too. I get irrationally annoyed by everything she does lol. For me because she's like a huge walking stereotype of the Dumb American and I cringe.

@emm the papiro is something almost exclusively Veneto (but some might do it in Bologna and maybe Friuli. If you ask most Italians they've never heard of it), where they do a mock up poster size caricature of the laureato/a and write funny things and important events in their life. After the laurea, they have the graduate stand at a distance and try reading it. For every error, they have to take a drink. Lol. Here's an example.

Agree about Sofie, too.

 

[Denise0211]

And kacie mentioning "treating themselves" when it was very clearly gifted

Yeah, looking at Sofie's again she tagged so much and it was put together like an ad. And of course they were "offered" a private tour lol.

 

[emm]

OT but how cute is kacies new kitten!! I have two black cats and it remkdns me so much of one of them when he was tiny

 

[emm]

Thanks for the info @moronglace ! I thought I remembered NSP, but hadn't seen anything from or about her in ages. Lol at the merch. I do remember Grande Futuro but not Sofie's pizza

Btw, agree about Kr's sensitivity. I wish I could remember what reel or post it was but she commented something similiar. Like "we're not challenging other people's opinions" or similar. It was over the holidays, IIRC and I only remember thinking "I don't see any rude comments here...?"

ETA: Nevermind! I know what it was. It was the reel about her trip to London and how some woman was shocked she used toothpaste "because Americans don't." One, I'm pretty sure I'd chalk it up to an isolated incident and not assume all Brits think this. 2. She posted a whole reel about it 3. The comments were just normal, either joking about Austin Powers or actual Brits noting free dental isn't covered by NHS for everyone. Kacie was all over the comments , and I'm not sure what she expected given she made the incident public for views and comments.

That anecdote was so dull, the kind of thing you would find hilarious when drunk but not otherwise. I cannot believe it is true anyway, most people are not so ignorant about people in the US (in the way that americans are sometimes about other places)

 

[moronglace]

Oh, petty, but I forgot to add I hated her saying "brrrraaaand" and not just "marca." Maybe it's just me but it sounded so annoying or trying to sound like Italian influencers with their awful use of random English words.

Don’t you know? She IS an Italian influencer now

 

[Denise0211]

Sometimes when I need background noise I might put an old video of hers on, I picked one where she had just moved to Florence and she's gushing about how the produce in Europe is sooo good because it's not full of pesticides. It's not "girl who just came back from abroad", it's "girl just returned abroad and needs to brag about how much better she has it now".
I think she doesn't realize that they do use pesticides in Europe, lol.

"I can't explain the flavor of that, it's what a strawberry should taste like"
Bitch it's just a strawberry.

Just wait til she hears about pesticides on organic.

She has the best of both worlds and is extremely fortunate and brags both ways. Months in the US to buy anything she wants, which is always cheaper regarding clothing and MU, Target hauls, shipping a suitcase full of cleaning products bc obvs Italy doesn't have any, or any that are in cute Instagrammable packaging.

Shayna acts like she invented matcha, when her olive oil "company" gets off the ground (if it does), we'll never hear the end of olive oil.
Speaking of, another expat popped up on my feed - oliveoilmommy aka Cate Torlone, who lives in Sardegna and I guess is going to the OO business with her husband whose family owns olive trees. Anyone heard of her?

 

[Denise0211]

Why point it out though that they aren't speaking Italian?
Davide, revoke her fluency card!

I thought that was weird. Also, really stupid bc of her evident contracts with Babbel and Davide, as well as her getting so upset when people pointed out she doesn't speak Italian.

 

[emm]

Woooooowwww. I wonder what Kacie's "Big travel announcement" will be? She's mentioned it before like some top secret thing. Maybe Sofie co-hosting? I'm not sure what could be different from her usual tours.

That's probably it. I cannot imagine a trip I'd hate more

 

[Denise0211]

Sofies phrasing of it made me laugh ... (with me) I think I'd find it almost a bit strange to have people who have followed your personal life and have to entertain them fie week/s but I guess if you are an influencer you accept that kind of fan thing

Yeah, I don't understand these trips myself because it's like going as a fan to meet your social media idol. Also as tour leader or whatever I'd feel obligated to be "on" all the time, but that's just me and my personality.

 

[Denise0211]

Anyone see Katie's latest "recipe"

Was it the Mac & cheese? Lol. Or am I thinking of another moment?

All I remember recently is her wearing Skims shapewear at a a daytime event Sofie led for SR. Lol

 

[Denise0211]

And...Kacie. Davide and Babbel would not approve.

 

[moronglace]

Her excuse is that she doesn’t like living there in the winter. girl from someone who just experienced -15 Fahrenheit I’d love to be in Puglia now.
---
YouTube recommended me this girl who aupaired in Italy for 3 months, it sounds to me like she just travels around, calls herself a “freelance travel coordinator” and her website doesn’t make it any clearer what her job does



She said she almost hit the kids she was watching

[Denise0211]

Oh, sad Sofie's abuelo died. He was really cute and the party we saw didn't seem a year ago. It must be tough on her she can't be there.

 

[Denise0211]

Omg I know. I am so intrigued as to what her partner does for a living, they are endlessly on holiday! The zooming in on her derriere to show the injury

Do you know how old he is? He looks like he could be 40 to me, but I assume he's younger.

 

[emm]

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that but it makes sense given her "job." So now she's trashing them, which again, given her platform is even worse.

I've seen other influencers do this so often it's now always my assumption tbh, although maybe I'm just too cynical

 

[Denise0211]

She deleted comments pointing out the phone numbers on the invite

I noticed! And I came to say she's getting roasted for the tacky invite too lol.
