The Chateau Diaries #104 it was all claws on deck!

sorry for my spelling mistake! Fingerdoo, must be a drag thing, she is funny otherwise

No worries... I thought it was intentional Fingerdoodle...she should use it...

 

[Maple fairy]

Off topic but I watched the latest contribution from our dear N. Fair Bottom. I must be really bored because I was oddly enthralled with him dusting and putting away his Christmas decorations and I hate dusting! I guess it is calming after watching the chaos that is Lalande!
Someone really needs to stage an intervention in choosing pants that actually fit. His aren’t hanging below his crack thankfully. What is with these guys and their pants!

BJJ and SJ are going to match the SA beach house.

What is going on in that 3rd pic... who dressed him... was he in the dark? and why didn't he change once he'd seen the end result.... the boiler suit one looks like Hannibel lecturs' younger brother. I dread to think what the SA pics will be like....

From CD's last flog comments...

why dont you pay a proper project manager to organise the ongoing works at the chateau.......money seems to be no problem anymore but so much seems to be wasted on giving philip a salary for doing nothing. he doesnt cook, clean, garden, paint, decorate. what ever happened to his claim of dressmaking... his videos on laying tables are laughable. not once in the above review was any mention of philip having contributed to anything but at least we didnt hear him constanrty interrupting. his constant and very immature comments highlighting the difference in your ages is rude and unnecessary.he is not an asset and needs to stay in the background.

...and then there is Spero Villioti, who has collected:
November & December 2020 & Jan & Feb 2021:
A Lalande Fashion Scholarship for a student at the Villioti Fashion Institute in South Africa €5500
July, August & September 2021:
The 2nd year of the Lalande Fashion Scholarship for a student at the Villioti Fashion Institute in South Africa €5500
...and gifted two gowns to Stephanie Jarvis.

They will all be part of the SA tour flogs.

Stephanie you look absolutely beautiful in that photo in our yellow gown, Curtis is such a talented artist. It’s just so wonderful being a small part of the whole Chateau De La Lande family from all over the world. Happy new year to everyone. Lots of love from all of us at Villioti Fashion Institute Spero

I’m sure you are correct on all counts concerning Marie.
Haven’t watched Much of her Norway trip but have gotten the same feelings you have about her being exhausted and disillusioned there in England. Let’s face it, she’s a grifter just like the others. She expects the easiest way of grifting for money which is vlogging. The big difference is, she has no home of her own, she owns nothing, therefore she’s at the mercy of those who are generous enough to give her a free ride. But …. Those people expect that she works for what she’s been given. There in lies the rub, she cannot put in real work. She’s a lazy slug.
oh well. The saga continues. Cant wait to see how it plays out.

...agree...and eventually, even the kindest...most patient of souls gets tired of coddling and the constant need to give ‘pep talks’...
...best to throw her into the deep end...time to sink or swim girl. perhaps those lovely ladies have already hinted to her as much...hence the sob story and sudden discontent with her present situation. quite ungrateful...indeed...

 

[CountessPompidoo]

Not just when she dresses up. When she looks into her heart of hearts, all she can admit to is that she IS that hooker. She has literally sold out all she has ever had going for her, for some toile de jouy and ugly china.


Nope. Potty is still head over heals and will never give up his chance to stay connected to whatever she is plotting. He loves the intrige and will fuel all wildfires she is causing with the most most flammable fuel Larkin knows he will never be her true hero, but has settled for being her conscience. Even though she usually ignores his advise and paints him to be this nerdy fool, lovable but not worthy enough to ever truly validate. SJ used to have her mind set on ending up with him when she gets really old, not him as a lover, but as her provider. Now that she has something to spend herself, there's no real future for their relationship anymore, but hey, a guy can dream, right? And I am sure SJ thinks this guy should. At least in his eyes she will always be the stars AND the moon.

I'm amazed at her ability and prowess to keep those two in awe of her. What is it I wonder after all this time?
Unrequited love for Potty I get (though dont understand), but Larkin? Perhaps he bought into the Shitto in haste and is now repenting at leisure and is too scared to ask for a divorce for some reason? Maybe making the best of a bad situation ?

 

[Freesia54]

clearly the place is empty..who is going to take the trees out..and put the decoration back in the attic..how is it possible..just pack your suitcases...go to SA....with the christmastrees still in the house..the decoration in the kitchen is still on..i guess the rest also... unbelievable..what a madhouse..

@Clara Burnett has previously said SJ's dutch friend and her husand will be bobbing in and out to check on things and no doubt will pack away the Christmas decorations... not sure if they will go into a colour coded ensemble that SJ likes to store in Narnia in the attic. I hope they wrap the lights around some tubing to avoid the chaos that ensued Christmas gone. So when SJ & Snorts arrive back it will be as if the Fairy Godmother has waved her magic wand and the mess that was Christmas will be cleared away.

 

[WMGL]

Clara’s description of how SJ leaves the Shittoo and her boudoir when she closes the doors and jets off reminds me of the students at Uni. Leaving all kinds of crap behind in their dorm rooms for others to attend to. Another example of how she has not progressed into behaving like a responsible adult. She is still stuck as a twenty something unable to transition into adulthood.

Twenty, or 13 something !!!

No, he still actually likes to be her best friend. I know it's kind of hard to grasp and at first I thought she must have something dirty on him that she's threatening to expose, but the weird dynamic between the three of them seems to be liked and appreciated by all of them. This is another reason I'm convinced it will not last between SnortSquirrel Cameltoe and the BalconyShoutesse: in the end that relationship will interfere too much with this construction they have thought out, where the boys can have a significant other but at the same time always pay first loyalty to SJ.

I remember you saying that when he hides the chocolate for the Easter egg hunt he tells her where they are beforehand

 

[arwensgal1975]

Just took a look at the comments from her latest vlog. The fact that people still blow sunshine up her arse is beyond me. I'm wondering why there are no negative comments? It's a joke that she keeps saying renovated projects...honey you never finish anything.

 

[Clara Burnett]

Holy F*cking ! I had the biggest weezing laugh from this.
I can't imagine La Jarvis having a temper tantrum against these two dull people. Only for them to attend that weird party smiling. I do wonder of Sarah videoing La Jarvis & Support Squirrel's entrance was a nod to the hate site, you know, because it has been mentioned so many times.
Also, shouldn't La Jarvis be a bit careful regarding Steve? I mean, he has (or had) the digitalised and physical prints of her beloved daddy's porn tiles. One delete click and a cozy fire pit later, they would cease to exist....

I know it looks rather different on camera, but there really is no lost love between SJ and these two. When Steve first came as a volunteer, he and his wife already made plans to buy a chateau in France. The whole warming up towards SJ was transactional from the beginning and still is, since they are building their business and can do with SJ's legion of chateau fans. They can't afford a fall out.

 

[Shannaswood]

They will never go. Only 30% of Americans have a passport. It's €195 ($250ish) last time I checked A NIGHT to stay at her place plus tickets to get there- let's see, so let's say $700 per person because they come from the middle, so $1400 then train $150 pp then hotel in Paris 4 nights in total, plus all meals, taxis etc etc so all told roughly $6000 -7000?? Ish for 2 people to travel for a week/10 days to stay for 3 nights at the hole, fly back, get a train, stay a couple of nights in Paris (either side) see the sights- they won't be coming back -ever- just stay in her tit place and have the honor or meeting her highness QND who knows if she will even show. Most people in the states make an average of what: 40k-ish a year?? For a family?? So no... no they are NOT going to visit her. She has not OFFERED a free trip to one her lower tier patrons- the kind where you write an essay for one of your most deserving friends and have air France sponsors plus that new department store that's been closed for ages also sponsors it etc - they meet the mayor, plus the mayor of Paris and she actually gives out 10 or 20 prizes because she JUST can't choose and she is just so damn grateful and she just LOVES FRANCE ANS HOW MUCH IT HAS GIVEN HER AND HOW HAPOY IT MAKES HER AND HOW MUCH SHE LOVES HER BEAUTIFUL CHATEAU AND HIW MUCH SHE LOVES GIVING BACK ANDSHE JUST ADORES FRENCH FASHION AND FRENCH HISTORY OF ALL OF THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRYSIDE and it would be the most amazing thing that happened in these people lives!! And husband's would take their wives on the honeymoon they never had and mothers would take daughters and sons would take mother's and fathers would take sons!!
...
but no... that bleeping witch would never lift a finger or even have a thought about anyone else ever. Ever. Ever. I don't care what she says about giving away money on the grifting channel. Whatever. Prove it. Give a scholarship to a school where it costs money and we can bump into them on the street. Give them a scholarship in NYC OR PARIS - let them post on Instagram whatever. You are a hollow as a straw. Your soul is worse than your hair. If you won't take your cat to the vet - what do I actually expect you to do for people. You won't even pet the damn cat. You witch. You bleep. I'm being nice. It's a new year so I'm turning over a new leaf. I won't tell you how I really feel

You wrote what I think. I live in states. Actually want to go to France this summer. I have been to Europe never France. The trip for my daughter is a minimum 5K for 5 days and that is coach travel. Not many Patreon can afford that. What she should do is give 50% discount minimum for the B &B. But she will
Not because she does not want the patrons there so they would see with their on eyes the tit show the chateau really is and also she would not even meet them if they did come.

You are the most gracious lady I have seen, you seem rare to anger, and brave in the face of adversity. I recognise in you a need to do the right thing, and I have absolutely no doubt that you always will. As for any critical opinions, I can only say that they can only see through their own particular filter, ascribing blame where there is none, or making up a story in their imagination instead of actually watching your videos and listening to learn the truth. Don't let the haters dictate. You are someone who I admire, I don't say that often...or ever.. really... it's usually reserved for people like Nelson Mandela... I see in you an incredible creative energy to nurture and grow the arts whilst restoring a beautiful piece of history. In doing so, you are making history with La Lande! Don't ever change yourself! A living inspiration, bright flame lighting up a pathway to joy!

Those Easter egg hunts are just gross. The last ones really opened my eyes. Adults running around dressed in stupid onesies and SJ acting like she didn’t get the memo all decked out. Then that large box of chocolate she ordered. How many people did she think would be at the Chateau. That was just gross indulgence. I wonder what did become if all that chocolate that arrived late.

BJJ or Potty. My money is on Potty with the Mandela quote. Or maybe Babykins has just finished studying for his trip to Robin Island.

Oh he does and so does Potty. The location of the good ones, that is. It would be unthinkable if she would not be the "accidentally" lucky princess who finds them.

Newbie here but been lurking awhile... So I too was sucked in to the Love, Life and Laughter showcased so dazzlingly (is that even a word?!?) by SJ and her fans (workaways/volunteers/paid for "friends") at HMN during lock-down. Shamefully I was also a lower tier patron for 6 months.
I recently commented on one of SJs patron videos about her lack of spending on fixing or installing new heating and got slapped down immediately by another patron, which set the alarm bells ringing for me. There are some truly nasty grannies there.
The last straw, was when I finally received my much promised patron postcard in December 2021 from SJ (...sorry Nutty) which was addressed to "LORD <insert name here>" and I AM A LADY!!! I cancelled my patronage in Dec 2021 and then stumbled across your insightful and hilarious TCD threads. I've read through the WIKI info and I am so glad to have found you all!

Welcome. So glad you decided to join us and inform yourself beyond the alarm bells. It takes guts to admit you've been conned and I can only hope it helps to realize you're not the only one...

Yuck, Snorty arrives at 11:56. Apparently he arrived with Cat.

I still can’t get my head around this trio dynamic. It is not normal. Is it some sort of kinky dance they play at the feet of their Siron. Did they take a blood oath at college? Do they know where the body is buried? How does Marie and Antonine join in? Marie is not a meek woman. She is a powerful business woman. Working with people way above any of those three’s stations. I know these questions can’t be answered but we can ponder them anyway.
