I met a lot of celebs back in the day, and only one overwhelmed me.
Frank Langella.
Hot, hot, hot.
My knees shook. Which was dumb because I was working, which is hard to do if you can't walk.

Maybe you know the Dutch aristocrat who visited LL wth the Georgian chef/musician? SJ was very keen to show off the fact that he had a title.

there is a list on wikipedia with the aristocratic families in The Netherlands..maybe some names sound familiar.. also have to point out not every body with the same name is aristocratic..sometimes the title just ends up with the first born..the rest of the family is untitled..it depends..

€6,761 of €390,000 10 hours to go on Selmar and Tatty kickstarter page, so many sad people (well all 63 backers) are going to be weeping into their breakfast in the UK but hard lines for Chateau owner and estate agent who thought they were on to a winner when those two rocked up. They should join forces with FRK and share her studio space, it's what Yorkshire needs more LaLande rejects.

I agree with you about the music. I do generally like their choices on their own (MOLD/Billy’s ward is maybe involved w/ the editing), but the music precedes the content… like relying on a brand to carry your personality ect.
The talking horse dude and his lovely wife, Philly & Angelina and The P clan… are so awkward on camera. None of them are natural and it makes it feel cringy and fake. I admit to watching the Pethericks, as I want to see their progress- I’ve gone too far down the chateaux rabbit hole that even I can’t quite explain why I watch anymore. I stopped watching Sadie this past week. Queenie is lovely and I do believe that S loves her and finds meaning and pleasure in caring for her BUT that begging angle now precedes Queenie’s loveliness… has become downright tacky.
I’m sure they all love how ‘misunderstood’ they are.

Uggghh….The Pethericks…. “Trailer Park Boys” would have been a more appropriate title.

I still watch Billy & Bordeaux Life .... and today I watch Chateau Life because Phil was along for the ride ... ALL 3 were about moving trailers around France, it was a yawn fest from every angle. It confirmed why I don't watch CL, am waning on Billy (he's not that interesting, really doesn't have content), and will only watch BL until their passion project is done. But yeah, wow, all 3 about moving trailers around. They really are the trailer boys.

I agree, they were really awkward on camera. I think they were trying really hard to not make their stupid perverted jokes, which is probably all they really do together in life. I stopped watching Sadie last week too, just becoming to samey samey .. same with Billy. I can't stand Phil and Angelina, especially their voices.

I must admit that I have tried to figure out who you are… and I did!













You are the Comte de Monte Cristo!

I knew when I saw all three in the Pethericks vlog, that the other two's vlogs would be the same. But TBH I'd rather drink bleach than watch a Phil and Angelina Ballerina vlog. They're absolutely ghastly human beings.

Maybe that's where he got the idea of wearing sunglasses a lot. The music is sometimes similar too. That style does not suit Dan and is not a good idea!
Yes I very much agree. Not good Dan. Be yourself for all of us.

Thanks for sharing this must have been before I started watching CD. Sickening that people with so much personal wealth are grifting for upkeep of their chateaux and asking for expensive stuff like lawn mowers, and hinting for expensive gifts, gag! I could only watch halfway it was raising my blood pressure too much

The word that comes to mind is the ....is there a polite word for a w*ore?

Maybe new tattle nicknames for Philip and Stephanie,
Mouse Poo & Old Bat Shit?
Yes this is most apt!!!

I agree with you on all accounts! It's sad- we had such hopes for her once she arrived in Haworth, and initially seemed to be thriving, as she was surrounded by loving, supportive people who welcomed her with open arms, and Haworth is an idyllic small town with a sense of community. It is a completely different dynamic than the toxic environment of CLL- her personality transformed from a dour and angry lost girl to a positive and content one. I am not sure what has transpired over the past few months. Everyone in the community showed their support by purchasing and displaying her "wreats", whether they wanted them or not, as this is what people do in a close-knit community. She could not seem to high-tail it out of there fast enough to Norway, but now that she's returned, snippets of the CLL version of Marie are resurfacing in her personality. It's sad really- Marie could have taken a few minutes in her vlog to thank Nicki, Jill and the others who funded her trip, thank Nicki again for having an actual home to return to, and thank the restaurant for letting her use their dining room for her class, but NO. The entitlement has returned- instead, she spoke about needing a bigger space for her business (instead of making it work and building her business and brand FIRST, nope, she feels she is already her own "Success Story.") SMH. She's a trainwreck.

I watched it as well and I definitely missed it when I went back to watch the older vlogs last year. And yep, I thought the same exact thing about those Vogue pages

I also am wondering if it is just a coincidence that Stephanie's ex Michael Potts is from South Africa and her mom's new husband,Percey, is also from South Africa? What are the chances of that happening! Where did Stephanie meet Michael Potts? I know Isabelle met Percy on an airplane.

I just checked Michael Petherick’s Patreon…looks like he’s got 443 suckers….I mean patrons! But what’s also interesting is that he’s deleted his “About” page. It’s just blank. There‘s no more description about himself or why he has a Patreon account. I guess he decided to eliminate the description since he wasn’t being truthful about what he‘s using the funds for?

In her patreon interview with Ollie, which is in wiki, we find out that Ollie & SJ (& Ruth) met at Oxford, and Ollie introduced SJ to both Nick and Michael. While SJ and Michael were dating she and her parents went with him to SA to meet his parents. IJ and Derek loved SA and so they bought a vacation property there (the beach house). IJ met Percy on the plane when she was going for a stay at her beach house.
