Tess Hoffman has a toy doll she carries around.
Snorty is Fanny's version of a toy doll, but he's more irritating because you have to feed & listen to him.
Okay I keep hearing and Tess and dolls but I have NO CLUE or no anything about Tess other than her pink lacy bra and that she turned 40. Is this a Huguette Clark situation - she was a wealthy American that collected all sorts of dolls and even took them out to eat with her. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...e-live-final-20-years-Manhattan-hospital.html

I am a little confused Clara. What message do you feel Stephanie Jarvis is intending to send to Tess' mother by doing this?
What they do is take other peoples experiences and/or feelings and favorites and pretend it’s theirs. They are too lazy to go out and live for themselves so they copy from what they see and gear around them and make it look as if they came up with it themselves. It’s a patern that once you know about it, you see them do all the time.

The most important thing you need to know about Tess is, that she the sister in law of drone_Nick.

You don’t need to see a picture of him, you just need to know.. he.. OMG he is one of the top three hottest chateau related guys and I would kiss his feet just for a glimpse in his attractive face while I think to myself: „damn…“.

That was a curious bait and switch, you're right. Amaury FINALLY got around to demo the grand salon and repair the walls underneath.....and was called off to do this other BS. Why? Channel 4 didn't want to film the grand salon?
Because Fanny can generate income from the Marquis Suite.

A classic Lie Lande screw up. Don’t you like Fanny and phi phi’s assertion that Fanny would make a good Gucci model? The grifting never ends with this duo. Fanny is a perpetual pond who wishes she was a lake.
Am in the middle of a novel and there is a statement that “The best grifters always work in pairs”. For that sentence alone I will continue reading it.

Maybe his lovely mother, who has the personality of a scrap yard dog, posted it. Doesn't she have controlling tendencies? Employing damage limitation! Again...

But change it to " The Grossest, Laziest, Dirtiest Grifters Always Work in Pairs" !!

Think breadstick and that sums it up but just in a circle. We've had them at our LIDLs from time to time, they're ok but nothing to get the vapours over.
I went to school with a couple of members of The Vapours... I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so...

Don't you just want to kick these two jumped up arses into the nearest canal. When are these patrons going to wake up.
Time to launch a grenade of comments about the needed heating system…. She can keep going on trips every other week and spending $$$$$ money on needless items such as that insane vase….. no excuses. The comment she made AGAIN last week about working on the heating system “over the winter” is deplorable. I do not understand why the people that stay there for her while she takes off for warmer climates and leaves them behind to freeze put up with it. Makes absolutely no sense.

We are making progress and it really has not been that long but I agree it does feel like. Requesting and filings take time. We are respecting the process and time moves a little slower in France. We just finished the Google key word list and now are making sure our links are going to the correct place. I love that Stephanie is going to drag other people down with her. Speaks volumes to her character. One more thing - we have (not me personally) have reached out to a former “volunteers” and they are finessing that relationship to perhaps get a written statement to add to our cause.

She can't sit in her fancy dress in a non-touristy restaurant and impress the Venetians. Only tourists would be remotely impressed by the flashy rich woman in a Barbie Oscar de la Renta gown, that's why she doesn't venture from the tourist areas. She might as well go to EPCOT in formal wear.

Ok, so just another form of NPD mirroring then, correct? E.g. I mix with them, therefore, I/we are the same as them, yes? Delusional, I 100% realise.
But, still can't get my head around how SJ and PJ having a "knock down" tourist type lunch in overly priced Venice is giving Tess' mum the finger.
If SJ/PJ, were part of the "in crowd" they would have ordinarily been invited to the following day's after party luncheon, wouldn't they?
Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly am I not fully understanding here?
It is obvious that SJ/PJ are the outer circle as weren't permitted to film the party and the next day they are obviously by themselves. Therefore, why even attend such an event?

I like that lyric: "I got the doctor to take your picture, so I can look at you from inside as well"

Ah so the secret is out. Scotsman’s apartment is another Channel 4 subject currently on tv as I write hence it being kept away from the vlog.
Altho channel 4 need a kick up the ass as they also highlight the swimming pond Fanny is making. Not any more she ain’t.

I don't think the Petherick snr's were hard up though. Michael got private lessons in music as well as the necessary instruments, art and design etc. Sadie had a horse (who knows, maybe more than one) and was transported around the country to shows and gymkanas. Don't know what Billy's thing was but can't believe he was left out. Billy actually has good taste when he is antique shopping, no tat. Grandma and Grandpa have a nice house which is their own full of antiques etc. So I don't think they were poor.
