Ha! I didn't follow her back then. Did she pretend/let people think that her name was Vivianna or was she upfront about her name being Anna? I'm guessing she didn't think Anna was cool/unique/interesting enough so she just went for Vivianna instead? Or was there some other meaning behind the name? So many questions!The fact NAnna called her channel/blog Vivianna does makeup despite the fact that isn't her name, shows she was lying from the start.
Looking back, Nanna was never truly into makeup nor fashion. She was never experimental nor unique in any of those areas. Nanna's shtick is wearing a posh uniform for her face and clothes (the few looks she ventured out of her comfort zone never lasted on her face nor her wardrobe).
The difference is now instead of Reiss and Whistles it's now Toteme and Celine.
I used to follow her during that time, and I was convinced her name was actually Vivianna. So I don't think she ever mentioned it wasn't until her rebranding as Anna Edit. I remember thinking how weird that was. If I remember correctly, she did it for "privacy reasons".Ha! I didn't follow her back then.

Course she did! She's still using that same old line to cover her lies!If I remember correctly, she did it for "privacy reasons".
In fairness, most of our generation who got online in the 1990s/early aughts were taught never to use our real names on the internet.I used to follow her during that time, and I was convinced her name was actually Vivianna.

Yes, that too. I remember being horribly embarrassed when my schoolmates found out about my pseudonymous blogIt was the thing at the time to copy Zoella and use a variation of your given name as your blog name. And yes I think she said she was mortified at the thought of anyone she went to school with watching her videos in the early days so it helped to a be a slight step removed.
Oh and me tooOH. MY. WORD. I can't believe I'm credited for my small contribution to the thread title *giggles*
I’d say they are more like friendly colleagues / acquaintances rather than mates. Probably stemming from being Gleam stablemates. I remember Anna had Zoe around to her flat when Anna first moved to Brighton. But it wasn't filmed. I don’t think they’ve ever collaborated.Since when has her and Zoe Sugg been mates? I've never heard them mention each other.
What was the actual point of that video! The amount she spoke about could easily have just been left as an Instagram post. Don't need a whole Youtube video saying "I don't use this anymore...I don't use that....This is discontinued.." She almost seemed bored as she was saying it. I couldn't find any YouTube comments which even slightly indicated this, apart from one saying "People with real jobs who leave the house need powder though." Which really did make me laugh.I gave in and put her 2021 favourites video on while I was in the bath. I’m now less sure than ever of its purpose. She doesn’t use eyeliner, setting spray, brow pencil, lip liner, powder, or highlighter, and is currently using a bronzer that’s at least four years old from a range that is likely being discontinued. Her mascara favourite is likely also being discontinued. I have no idea what she is supposed to be selling us as there is nothing to buy besides posh lip balm whose brand name she still can’t pronounce correctly. The days of Vivianna Does Makeup are well and truly behind her.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying she should have used her real name, but rather that I found it weird how she never addressed it, and how she chose an actual name, not sth like Zoella which to me sounds more like a pseudonymIn fairness, most of our generation who got online in the 1990s/early aughts were taught never to use our real names on the internet.
How does she expect to entice new viewers/followers by talking about out-of-date and discontinued makeup?I gave in and put her 2021 favourites video on while I was in the bath.

she has addressed it several times. I don’t think it was ever that deepDon't get me wrong - I'm not saying she should have used her real name, but rather that I found it weird how she never addressed it, and how she chose an actual name, not sth like Zoella which to me sounds more like a pseudonym
