Tanya Burr #17 cool girl aesthetic, cool girl pathetic

Ugh I hope she’s not trying to do Booktube..

I hope everyone floods the comments asking about the whereabouts of Martha.

I can’t believe she’s finally humbled herself to go back to youtube.

Indeed as someone said, the money must be running low.

Her dress Sense was always questionable, but anyone wi5 eyes must see how much better she looked with darker hair. That honey-auburn she had was lovely.

The ‘emotional cheating’ thing is such an interesting line that is different in each relationship. Personally, I don’t think a crush or flirting constitute enough to break down a marriage, you don’t suddenly stop being a human being with attraction to others. What you do is have to keep choosing your spouse, which is where things get tricky if there are other factors at play… e.g. being married to Jim Chapman I honestly see that she was more fascinated by Rhys as someone who was so different from everyone she’d known in her quite sheltered, privileged life. A typical ‘bad boy’ complex.

I always take emotional cheating to be more that you share things with someone other than your partner where they should be your go to person: your dreams, your fears, your innermost thoughts. I’ll put my neck out and say that neither Rhys or Tanya come across as having the depth for that…

I think their relationship/marriage was unhappy for a loooong time but they both bought into the childhood sweetheart fantasy and living up to the expectations of their audience.

there’s something so profoundly icky with copycats, especially when they copy exact items, poses, accessories, mannerisms…the way she’s even copied that person’s top two buttons being buttoned, you can tell she studies that influencer like the girl is a textbook or a how-to-manual

I actually do believe she hustled in the sense of called in favors and badgered anyone she knew who had whatever remote connections. And even then she failed terribly because she doesn't have any acting talent.

It seems super clear to me that she exhausted every possible avenue she had, hence saying the hustle took a lot out of her. Of course it did. And it ended up being fruitless because everyone who wants to be an actor has to hustle, but it will only yield results if you've got talent or charm or something. She's a big black hole on the screen.

She was privileged in that she had all the money to throw at her dream and never worry about what she'd eat or how she'd pay rent. She'll never recognze that either because then it becomes even more obvious why she failed.

I actually enjoyed the video and am kind of glad she's back?! HAHA. Idk, I found it refreshing/nostalgic at the same time. And I do admire how she doesn't show her baby's face.

Didn’t tan copy an exact outfit of Jennifer Lawrence’s while pregnant? Some kind of dungarees rig out? I think it might have been before she announced she was pregnant but J-law definitely was in the pic (but I could have that detail wrong).

Found them!

I was obviously definitely wrong about her wearing them before she announced her pregnancy.

From the Missoma IG page.

Her hair makes me so anxious.

It's also funny how she looks super different when she doesn't control the angles.

 

[formerly_sitkx]

Honestly, I think it wasn’t just the acting dream that ruined everything, it was more like a perfect storm…Gleam combusted, her big obvious crush on that one guy (I wanna say Rhys??), her marriage that was essential to her YouTube persona fell apart, the views started tanking, people were losing interest in old school influencers, rise of tiktok, short form videos…

Worth remembering that Tanya did used to wear Halo extensions the majority of the time back in the day. She mentioned them a few times and they were often clear in her videos when she put her head down. It was always really obvious how fine and thin her hair was when she wasn't wearing them and she would have a tiny scraggly ponytail. At no point did she have amazing full thick hair. Without doubt though it did look way better than it does now. She has destroyed her hair, and thin and fine hair really can't handle the amount of regular bleaching she's doing.
I totally agree that she's aiming for a certain type of wealthy look though.

 

[QueenBW]

I'm living for this blast for the past but wonder what she'd think of the fact that she posted a 40+ minute long video bragging about her new life and still her marriage to Jimbo the Worm is the most interesting thing about her to Tattle.

That's a night out dress not a wedding guest dress. Passive aggressive move from Tanya for sure.

See I don't even feel like it was a move. I think she is just literally that clueless about social norms and that clueless about fashion. I can see her fretting and flapping getting ready and hating how she looked in everything and in a panic putting that dress on because she'd worn it before and felt ok in it at the time (to a club probably) and then just had to leave the house like that cause she was making them late throwing clothes around the room and Jim was shouting at her to get her ass in the car

Also, white silk pants? Just what every mum of a toddler asked for

 

[QueenBW]

Classic new Tarn pretending she's a big name. Like when she tweeted at Meghan Markle about having lunch or smth when she was already dating Harry

Okay, long post but I've been analysing this situation over the last few weeks and I wanted to share with y'all!

I started following Lucy Williams (a smaller, British influencer) last year and soon noticed that Tanya has a bit of an obsession with her. It started around Christmas when I saw Lucy wear this brown Doen fair isle cardigan. Then I noticed that Tan wore the vest version two weeks later and because I loved it, I instantly recognised it. Well it turns out Tanya has a lot of the same pieces as Lucy and when comparing their profiles, I can't help but have the opinion that Tanya has likely shaped her entire image and style after Lucy.

Seriously, every weird AF outfit that Tanya has worn has probably been worn by Lucy beforehand. Tan once posted a TT about bringing an old, ugly flannel shirt out of storage which was very out of character for her, and when I checked, Lucy had worn the same outfit two days earlier. Tan also wore this strange denim pyjama outfit and lo and behold, Lucy had worn an almost identical outfit before. I know you may say that this is a generic style but Tanya copies exact pieces and entire outfits (even down to the sock colour). I'll post some pics of the worst offenders.

Why is this an issue for Tanya? Well, to put it simply, Lucy is a born rich, upper-classer and Tanya is not. Lucy's wedding was featured in Vogue and her home in Elle magazine and House & Garden, and so appeals to wealthy London women who like her comfortable and easy-going fashion sense.

Tanya believes she is everything that Lucy is and therefore should appeal to the same audience. She's wealthy, lives in an affluent part of West London, eats brunch in Notting Hill, has a Soho House membership, and spends weekends in the Cotswolds. Only issue is, Tanya didn't grow up like this. She grew up in Norwich, had a bubbly middle-class image and a make-up brand aimed at very normal teenagers. Most people know her as being part of the Brit crew and flogging Maybeline mascara and Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes on YouTube. Her audience grew up to be very normal women who aren't interested in £800 scandinavian coats and £300 chucky brown loafers. The audience of wealthy mid-20s women that she desperately wants, simply don't find her aspirational or authentic. This is why her views are in the garbage and her new beauty brand tanked.

Anyway, TLDR: Tanya no longer appeals to any demographic. She's spent close to a decade running away from the image that made her famous and until she goes back to her original appeal (which I'm sure she believes is now beneath her), she will continue to be a mid-2010s influencer with declining views and dwindling brand deals.

Omg that is *such* a good spot.
It's so wierd Tanya isn't just getting a bit of inspiration, like everyone does, she is completely copying her down to the tiniest detail. Really strange.
This is the exact same ugly leather jacket. I really presumed she had borrowed her boyfriend's.
I remember Tanya used to copy an influencer called Caro Daur and that was really wierd too.

What an odd photo to take and share

 

[GossWhore]

This has probably been posted. But I just LOVE the dedication to Martha being found lol

 

[mg95]

I remember this differently-- it seemed to me like they both had a contractual #ad obligation to film "Our house in LA" vlogs. But they timed the trip so that they almost never saw each other, each doing other travel (I think he did Vegas and she was in Florida or something?) so it seemed they were only in the house together for one night. And even then he couldn't stop making digs about how messy she was, how her stuff was everywhere etc.

I think you're both right. They spent a lot of it separate but right before the announcement came he kept referring to her as 'my wife' in videos and on Instagram. It's classic Jim - he made lots of passive aggressive digs but then kept up the 'wife guy' facade until the bitter end. I wish I could find it but I swear he posted a story saying 'MY WIFE still likes me very much' in response to a fan comment and then next thing you know they were split lolol

I've had this problem for years
So now I've decided to no longer have this problem and share a fuckton of affiliate links during Black Friday sales
Seems legit

 

[newaroundhere123]

I know. Completely forgot about this as well.

I'd totally forgot that!!!!!! I still think though, even she had done something, one, his new Mrs should not be airing it out and two, Jim would totally have forgiven her and taken her back, I think it was Tantan who realised there was life outside at that point and fled her captor - round of applause for that!
