Tamara Kalinic #19 I got robbed, again!

[spicymargarita]

I have a genuine question. From a young age, I've noticed that women can be quite hard on each other—often criticizing appearances or accomplishments, particularly when they see someone doing better than themselves. For example, I made the decision to distance myself from most of my girlfriends, except for one, to focus on my personal growth. This choice helped me avoid backstabbing, bullying, and drama, and I believe it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I see similar traits in Tamara.

Isn't this behavior often rooted in jealousy? My second question is about the tendency I’ve observed among Balkan women in high school: they seem to be very envious of each other's successes, often aiming to undermine them instead of celebrating accomplishments. I have a colleague who, after marrying a Swedish man, distanced herself from tradition and shared some unsettling stories with me (I’m Swedish). It appears that they often make negative remarks about each other, especially regarding beauty.

Let’s be honest—many Serbian women tend to possess a more masculine appearance and don’t fit conventional standards of femininity, while a small percentage do embody more traditionally attractive qualities. Unfortunately, those who do are often criticized by others who may feel threatened. Is this forum largely filled with Serbian women? And before anyone asks, no this is not Tamara.
Thank you in advance!

And this is based on having only one friend from Serbia? Have you ever been to Serbia? How many Serbian, Balkan, or Slavic women do you know? Many people believe that Balkan women, including Serbian women, are among the most beautiful.

This thread is largely filled with Serbian women because Tamara is Serbian. However, it's one thing to criticize a public figure who shares every detail of her life and quite another to generalize and label all Serbian women as masculine, jealous, and poor friends. Such generalizations reflect poorly on you. I won’t say that all Swedish women are judgmental because they are not. It’s just you! Please consider making your perspective more nuanced and fair.

A two hour vlog is pure insanity.

If you want to see nfw content there are like thousand other influencers with the same content. We all know a girl like Tamara. Let's face it, it is often an older white dude. It is the person who talks at you and never learned how to hold an actual conversation. Tamara uses her camera to talk to and in all the time she is doing it she kinda lost the plot.

When you are really, really overwhelmed you lack an overview. You can't distinguish main from side issues. Everything seems important. Tamara looks like a toddler after a day out. She wants to tell you everything. So it starts with her going to the carnaval and ends with a story about the bug she saw there.

Tamara is not a toddler. And I can by the life of me not imagine any grown woman shelling out two hours to watch a vapid stick figure. Really, nobody has time for that. And after all those times she was yapping on and on about "being in the industry" she should know the difference between the content that is or is not worth it. And where is her agency in this? Did none of her assistants or editors told her that she lost touch with reality?

Is she physically okay? Is she mentally unwell? This is looks like she is unraveling even more than she already did. Maybe she should switch her life coach for a shrink. And I do not mean that as an "on Tattle we dehumanise influencers" but as an "this is the point where we stopped watching Eugenia Cooney".

All I got from this vlog is that after a decade of shilling “luxury” she doesn’t understand the concept of quality over quantity. She has this looong video about her looong career and doesn’t understand that there will be people who will overtake her subpar content.

 

[Bubble18]

Before she reached 1m followers on Instagram she was gaining 1000 followers everyday at 8pm GMT.

Oh no. I wish we could alter the name or intro post of this thread because this is so unreal. This is not even petty but highly unprofessional

If Tamara can be unprofessional so can I. Stephanie is a fair voice off reason and Tamara made her cry. That's sad

Apart from that it is also sad that Tamara mentions in video's how she deletes negative comments. Tamara does not want that in her life. That is her channel and over there she can do what she wants. What gets me the most is that Tamara showed us that she is on top off it all. She always claims to be a perfectionist. How fucking pathetic is it to then ignore Stephanie's mail, Instagram dm and second email. That is not even rude, that is unprofessional. And if you do not get that subtile difference, your job means nothing to you

Good thing is that Stephanie's video is up again. Because it was down for a month it is useless to the algorithm now. I do hope that people will watch her "designer brands are for broke girls" again

What I found shocking is that she mentions Tamara and shows an 18 second clip from Tamara's video in her half an hour video. She did not use the whole video. Now she has a copyright strike and after three strikes your channel gets deleted. Meanwhile Stephanie is a girl who sits there and talks about things that matter to her. They are insightful and I like how she keeps the pace up while also telling us what she wants her public to know. And then there is Tamara. Who unpacks a box or films herself doing whatever, milking that for almost and sometimes even over an hour. Getting who knows what from adds. Adds during and sponsorships in her video

Tamara's life is all fluff and loved to show how much money she can spend, fashion shows and being on the cover of a magazine. It is so unreal she actually took it up with a girl who is only known by her own audience. Silencing somebody because she has an informed opinion about you, a public persona, is just plain sad. It really looks like Tamara got pissy and tries to legally make it as hard as she can for Stephanie. I want to say that Tamara looks like a bullying teen but it is not. This is professionally messing with someone because you can. Trying to find a legal loophole to let her know she should be scared of you. It is a plain intimidation tactic. It really shows Tamara's true colors. She is getting more unhinged by the minute. Can she be more off the rails manic than this?!

I am so sorry for my long rambles but the feels. It feels so unfair. I am so glad Stephanie did not roll over and played dead. Talking about luxury YouTubers and how that is not real life for most of us is nothing new on her channel. I love that she is the voice off reason and shows what is left if you take away modern day's smoke and mirrors. She is the channel you wish your kids would watch. I hope that she gets more followers from this. She is the breath of fresh air I want. Not another unboxing from a bag or bracelet you already have in other variations

I am still struggling to believe that all of Tetka’s Hermes bags are authentic, especially since she seems to buy them so frequently. Do we know how many she has in her collection ?
who really needs that many Hermes bags? Compared to other influencers, like the Kardashians or Chiara Ferragni, her lifestyle appears more modest—renting a home, sharing one car, and going on sponsored trips. It’s possible that some of those bags aren’t genuine or is she really making that much money to support all Hermes expenses.. I also find it frustrating how she wears her Hermes bags everywhere—at the beach, concerts, weddings. If she actually went to the gym, I wouldn't be surprised if she wore one there too. It seems like she's more focused on showing off the bags than on matching them to the occasion.

In this latest vlog she came across very toxic and bitchy. To everyone who skipped it, I actually recommend you (and I cannot believe I'm saying that) to watch. Each interaction she had was kind of "through her teeth", if you know what I mean. For example, she kept insisting that Cassie (?) was lying about texting her, and then later got a proof that she actually did, but never apologized? Who is doing something like that? If a friend says I texted you, a normal, polite person would simply reply, oh, I've probably missed it somehow. Why keep bitching about that? Then, she cut that girl sitting next to Xenia out of a conversation, and then pulled her back in later to bitch about how that girl got front row at Prada as her first show invite ever, and she, Tamara, such a hard worker, had to wait 10 years. That bit was really uncomfortable to watch as she sounded sooo bitter. Then, she said to Caro "Oh, you're wearing this dress...I saw it, but did not pick it" in a dismissive tone. Is it just me, or its totally rude to say something like that about your alleged "bestie's" outfit choice? Then, speaking of that Prada "project", she first complained about both of her so-called "best friends" having ADHD. Is it even her place to share? And after the project she did not even try to hide her annoyance with them, whining how disorganized they were, and how she was the only one taking care of things being done properly. Then, she purposefully shamed her assistant for waking up late in a 2 seconds clip of putting together an outfit, and left this part in the vlog. Probably, to show off what a girl boss she is. Then, she complained how Filippo did not appreciate her smelling like garlic, but in the same sentence she put down her videographer for having a nasty smelling perfume. The list goes on and on. The whole video left a very bad taste in my mouth.

I'm in the middle of the vlog and thought exactly the same. Whenever she films only herself talking, she tries to be very humble for her followers, but with her friends it's the complete opposite and she sounds so arrogant. In the beginning of the vlog she first said how she did fashion week in new york and got standing seats to a show but still how gratefull she was and then later on she was making sarcastic jokes about it with xenia and caro. I felt bad for that girl sitting next to xenia, how she cut her off and were making sarcastic comments on how 'prada' was her first show invite ever and she has only done in for 2 years. If she can't handle the answers, she shouldn't be asking the questions.

 

[deadgirlinside]

Is the new face in the room with us?

 

[flowerpower321]

I don’t understand what fillipo sees in her… must be her pharmacy degree…

 

[deadgirlinside]

To whoever posted that rant defending tetka, I was wondering why did they delete their post so quickly? I wished I had a screenshot of it. She called us jealous b*tches and how she was the most genuine person in fashion ever. And how we are so jealous of her relationship to Filipo? Lol, we wouldn't steal him from her. He's all hers.

Absolutely, following micro trends doesn’t equal having a sense of style. Let me explain to you what I meant by the comment that the illusion of luxury is crumbling. By that I mean that what we consider luxury for the masses, which is what Tamara is wearing is not what it used to be. Logos upon logos upon logos, for example her last week’s Chanel ensemble with the hat. That’s not luxury, it’s just ready to wear and logos. Royalty and the ultra rich wear haute couture. Chanel haute couture pieces don’t have logos because these people don’t want to be walking advertisements; they want to wear the brand not for the brand to wear them. I don’t see her wearing haute couture. The Birkin bag, is it still luxury? Almost everyone has one (or a similar fake), so is it really rare and exclusive? Luxury is owning Hermès saddles and riding equipment, not a stupid Birkin. Just my opinion.

Other than that, I agree with everything else and her façade is definitely crumbling. Logos, orange boxes, unboxings, and Van Cleef bracelets are over. I know of influencers/YouTubers who started doing luxury unboxings and reviews and have almost rebranded their content in the last two three years. But you can’t do that if you’re a kiss ass influencer who sucks up to every brand under the sun just to get sent some free products. Not many mainstream influencers were speaking out on the Dior sweatshop scandal. We all know why.

 

[Bubble18]

I mean if we’re really getting into it… Tamara is poor. Tamara does not have the financial stability to buy one property. Tamara does not have the financial stability to rent one property. Tamara and Filipo do not have the financial stability to rent one property. Tamara and Filipo rent one property from someone they know.

 

[icannoteven]

Anyone else thinks Caro is very… touchy? It’s a nicely filmed vlog, I think she has a new camera guy. Footage feels fresh and a bit more interesting than usual. I probably won’t sit through the whole thing, way too long

I only managed the first 20min listening to it in the background while I got ready, the music choice is quite nice but she is still yapping abt how she has done this for 10 yrs and in her previous life she is a pharmacist

 

[lunalunaluna]

1. literally entire internet and their dogs have the exact same ring for the last 4 yrs or since when Haley Beiber first had it???
2. The most fugly, unflattering, unstylish boring, dated, tasteless outfits for like 60K just BIKOZ luooaROO PianAAA - what a pathetic peasant who cannot dressssss, just her favoooritee brand regardless of it not suit her or not being her style or just look fucking frumpy, dated and ugly as these are clothes for mature classy people with developed sense of silhouete and who just buy one piece here or there and not those startrek suits

what a caricature of a woman...
---

New video, new unboxing, just don't waste your time...

The way she eats, it is so cringe.

Literally looks like clothes from Sainsbury's or Lidl on her! I am not exaggerating, I can pull same fits from there

Great comment .

Like someone else said in the youtube comments, it’s so refreshing to see a creator mention others by name as too many these days tread on egg shells and are too afraid of calling others out. Hats off to Stephanie for being real. I had never come across her videos before but after watching a few last night, I’m already hooked. She said herself that when she watched videos of luxury content as research, she found herself being drawn to the items, which is so true, we do get influenced into thinking we need certain products that we never would have considered if we didn’t watch that type of content. It’s so refreshing having a channel to watch that matches my ethics and ethos, one that isn’t pushing consumerism down my throat.

I already watched her because she is so relatable. She has very spot on videos about cosmetics and plastic surgery. For example about how celebrities are not naturally gorgeous because their parents are gorgeous but that they are gorgeous because they can afford to enhance their looks

She has an amazing video about regular people not being ugly by default but that is what being online too much is doing to you. Suddenly you see Kim with her olive skin rocking platinum hair and people think that is attainable. It is not. Her hair looks strange in natural light and only looks amazing under bright lights. Normal people don't get their picture taken as their profession. And Kim is not wrecking her hair by endless bleaching it. She has her own hairstylist and the money to buy the best wigs

I loved Stephanie long before today but I love her even more now. I do not like new Tamara. Ever since she shoved Fillipo down our throats. Liked her even less when she made him the main source of her content. But this a new low

From somebody who works in the same industry, who makes money with being on line all the time, who prices herself to be online all the time, a dm with an explanation of why you do not like what she said would be the way to go. But then not even reacting on the multiple times Stephanie reached out, why?! And if Tamara keeps on talking about people following her, not wanting to read tattle, not wanting Stephanie to talk about her is just ridiculous

Tamara makes money (we can joke about her being broke but all those designer items are not something you buy when you work for minimum wage) with being an online presence. How pitiful is it to take a video down (apart from Stephanie talking about how much time she spends on research but it also be unseen by the algorithm) ((and the time and effort Stephanie takes to do research, films, edits and post a video looks way more effort than propping up a camera, filming an unboxing and leave the rest for your team)). Tamara has the same job, she knows wat it means behind the screen when she did this. But how pitiful is it to shoot a video down because some girl at the other side of the world used you (Tamtam) as an example for the very thing that you are known for. The very same thing that provides Tamara with the cash it takes to do all those unboxings and fancy gettaways

I do not even know what baffles me the most. It is not about Tamara taking it down. Not even about them having the same job. But the utter lack of respect. To silence somebody about something she is factually right about. Tamara is a luxury influencer but apparently you, I or a girl at the other side of the world can not mention that. She can not even have her own opinions about luxury influencers or Paparelle. Seriously, what the fuck Tamara.

+1
your opinion should be title of the next thread, if there's gonna be one, as we are bored to death, too

"Tamara Kalinic #20 my lovelies are so bored to death, it took 8 months to fill the last thread"

 

[Bubble18]

According to her she has architects and property in London, Paris, Milan, Dubai, etc... According to reality she lived in her sister's attic and she now rents a house in Milan from her fiancés friend (since they can't afford to rent the regular way)

Her private flights are paid for by her fiancé's rich friends and first/ business class commercial flights are usually paid for by a brand or sponsor. There have been instances in the last few months when she has flown coach and it seems to be that's when she flies for herself.

The subject of her wearing Hermes fakes is obvious to some but not to others. However, you be the judge.

 

[Bubble18]

Tragic upside down belt aside, I really liked when she wore girlier bags everywhere. Her fake birkins are so sterile now. Boring.

 

[icannoteven]

It’s like some kind of fugly challenge to wear as much clothing as possible. The whole outfit is tragic and make her legs look so stumpy even tho she is always boasting how tall she is. The way she sucked in her fillered face cheeks is horrendous. She really looks like that SAW character lol
