Looks like the institute are aware of negative vibes. Latest YouTube comment from them "Hi everyone, thank you for your wonderful comments. We did discuss privately with each stude, explaining clearly that we wanted to film them.

It is hart rewnching to have to make one desision, and that l thank my amazing team. There where 8 candidate, but one didn't want to be filmed, we absolutely respect that, that is why you didn't see the last person. We will try and find separate funding for them if possible, but keeping it private. I did promise them all that l will do my best to have all 8, at our institution, don't know how but l will find a way" Hmm..nice try - so those coming for an interview don't want to appear stroppy by saying no I won't be filmed. Good for the candidate who said no thanks to that. Hopefully that one gets the money from SJ'sMy understanding is the SA government is highly against the exploitation of their people. This video is highly exploitive. No one should be forced to put their situation on youtube in order to get a scholarship. Whatever agency that certified this school needs to be made aware of that video.
I refused to watch it, it's so reprehensible. I hear it was heartbreaking and a bit like The Hunger Games. Badly done Stephanee, badly done!Charity is not and should not be about creating a limited resource that those in need compete or are selected for (WTHeck?!). Its purpose is the complete opposite to scarcity.
Is this a one time thing? Does this fashion institute even have a scholarship program before this?
Using young people’s expectations to boost SJ's sense of kindness… I find the whole thing revolting.
I think the scholarship is a scam and he is a grifter of sorts.Oh believe you me I am not in any shape or form endorsing that behaviour, but I think it's a rocky road to travel to say they are not a legitimate organisation when it appears (on the surface anyway) that they are. Disgraceful use of young people basically having to audition for a job in order to provide YouTube footage. But it appears in this circle of people that is the norm for them. Everyone and everything is there to be exploited for ££.
That's so sad.De mortuis nihil nisi bene.

There is a difference between asking people whether they mind their interview being filmed or asking whether they mind it being shown on YT. We don't know whether they mentioned to them that were going to show it on a public platform. The interviewees may well have been happy being filmed just for the institute but may well not be happy for it to be seen on YT!Looks like the institute are aware of negative vibes.

Totally agree with you. There are people who desperately need food, medicines, etc.; this is purely to benefit SJ and the institute. The scholarship to a fashion institute could not be more irrelevant in SA. I lived in nearby Swaziland years ago and also know SA.'d also like to point out that in a country like South Africa, a fashion scholarship is probably the most tone-deaf idea they could have come up with. And before I'm shot down, I do know the place very well, I lived there for 20+ years
I haven't watched this video and not sure I will...
After what I've read here about it, it looks like a modern slaves fair...or a new Hunger Games version - for everybody to enjoy it online
Re. Lalande. I suppose Stephanie knows that a swimming pool at the chateau will increase their two local property taxes (taxe foncière and taxe d'habitation).
Speaking of which, I'd curious to know how these local taxes are calculated in their case.
Two of the co-owners are not resident at Lalande. So they should pay their taxe d'habitation for their second (holidays) home. (Maison secondaire).
Stephanie should be exempted from the taxe d'habitation (New regulation in France) since Lalande is her main house.
@arthur could give us some informations in this matter, maybe
So sad, they look a nice couple but made sure they made the most of life given his illness.De mortuis nihil nisi bene.

Thanks for the new thread.
I've watched Lalande's latest video.
It was so...boring ! ( Well I'm not interested in gardening so 20 minutes of seeds and pots was a bit too much for my taste).
I can't believe that Stephanie doesn't know how to say compost in french after 16 years living in France with a big garden ! It was written on the bag anyway (terreau) but I'm not sure she noticed it ! And who goes to a nursery for bags of compost without taking a trolley at the entrance of the shop ??
The rest of the video was really dull and badly filmed/edited. It looked like a patchwork of their daily life snippets quickly filmed while flouncing from rooms to rooms.
Frankly, if I had watched this video at the beginning of CD channel, I would have never followed her vlogs !
I cant believe she doesnt own a drone and asked poor Dan to use his to film some new drone shots for a new intro! Dan has only just started his channel and is investing in it by buying a drone and learning how to use it, his editing skills are amazing and hes only been doing it for a few months, she has been doing it for 2yrs and is still filming on her phone!!Thanks for the new thread.

Thanks !More info about housing tax :
Housing tax
Verified 10 décembre 2020 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The housing tax is a local tax that depends on the characteristics of your dwelling, its location and your personal situation (income, composition of the household...) in 1to January. You have to pay it if you are a landlord, tenant or a free occupant of your principal home. You will also have to pay for your second home if you have one. You may be exempted in certain cases.
Who has to pay it ?
The housing tax (TH) depends on your situation at 1to January of the taxation year.
You are taxable at the address where you live at 1to January, whether you are a landlord, tenant or occupant for free.
You are taxable even if you move during the year or occupy the dwelling only part of the year.
Please note : the TH concerns both the main dwelling and the secondary residence..
To be exempt from the housing tax, you must live:
What premises are involved ?
- single
- or with your husband or wife
- or with your Pacs partner
- or with 1 or more dependants
- or with a person whose resources are below a certain ceiling.
General case :
The residential tax applies to the following premises, whether your principal or secondary dwelling:
In some cases :
- Furnished premises assigned to the dwelling (detached house or apartment). The dwelling must have sufficient furnishings to enable it to be occupied.
- Housing dependencies (private parking, garage, etc.), whether or not furnished and not attached
If your home is located in ZRR, the residential tax applies to the following premises, whether your primary or secondary dwelling:
Municipalities may, however, exempt the following premises:
- Furnished premises assigned to the dwelling (detached house or apartment). The dwelling must have sufficient furnishings to enable it to be occupied.
- Housing dependencies (private parking, garage, etc.), whether or not furnished and not attached
(NB Crozon/Vauvre is in ZRR)
- Bed & Breakfast
- Classified Local furnished with tourism
The housing tax is calculated on the basis of cadastral rental value of the dwelling and its dependencies.
For the principal residence, the rental value is reduced reduction..
The tax is equal to the multiplication of the amount obtained by the tax rates voted by territorial communities..
Slaughtering in certain areas
In addition to the compulsory abatement, local authorities may decide to apply optional abatement for the principal residence.
The local authorities may decide to abatement the TH of the principal residence fixed between 1% and 15% the average rental value of the townhouses.
Surcharge for secondary residence
Some municipalities may decide to apply a residential tax increase for second homes..
Discount for people with low incomes
If you do not have a tax exemption for your home, the amount of your principal residence may be capped.
To qualify for the cap, you do not have to have been subjected to theIFI in 2019.
So true! And tragically, after Rich having passed away in April 2020, she lost her dad to covid only 4 weeks later. I just can't imagine....!So sad, they look a nice couple but made sure they made the most of life given his illness.
According to one of the live chats (cant remember which one) MPK said he had a date this week but was free from Sunday to be collected and spend some time at la Lande. Surely she could have waited and got him to use his, he could then justify the travel as work.I cant believe she doesnt own a drone and asked poor Dan to use his to film some new drone shots for a new intro! Dan has only just started his channel and is investing in it by buying a drone and learning how to use it, his editing skills are amazing and hes only been doing it for a few months, she has been doing it for 2yrs and is still filming on her phone!!
They really do have a very odd relationship.Thanks !
I was reading the YT comments for Stephanie's latest vlog where she says to Dan (who's the father of two young kids and is younger than her...) : "Mummy will love me more" (if she does some gardening)...
Wow....wow...
People saying to her that "Mummy will be proud of her daughter" in several comments...or something like "you're a good girl" etc etc.
Wake up people ! She's a 45 year-old woman !!
Disturbing.
Don't give them any ideas, they spread covid enough as it is!According to one of the live chats (cant remember which one) MPK said he had a date this week but was free from Sunday to be collected and spend some time at la Lande. Surely she could have waited and got him to use his, he could then justify the travel as work.
I actually cannot bare him! His voice and whining Helllowwww! SleazyAny comments on Billy’s latest video? There is something strange going on between Ryan and Billy.... Ryan is always flirting with him, if I was Gwen I would not want him around so much.... people seem to love him, I find his voice and, basically all of him, extremely annoying!!! And what is this habit of always complimenting each other? Is that a British custom? SJ & Co. also do it all time. Why? What is the point?
I'm truly surprised anyone finds anything interesting In them. Boring voice and boring content!Someone put him straight in the comments section. He should have cleaned it first, laid it down etc. Then in the end, he realised that it would have the beautiful panelling in the fireplace! Did you catch Ryan's little dig at Billy re the new table he bought? He asked how much BIlly had paid for it, and Billy said he couldn't remember. Ryan said, "that's very unusually for you"!!
I've also unsubscribed to Ryan's vlog after his rant.
How much was it selling for?There was no mistaking it in the photos. Definitely listed for sale.
Anyone as lovely lake too.Can someone please post the link for Ryan’s uncle’s property, I am looking to buy one. His is not too big and does not look too rundown!
Quel surprise! More con merchants, associated with Loll ! 5.000 was probably just a way of giving some dosh to IJThat hasn't stopped her from trying to interfere before. With you, I hope it works out for him. I've seen too many go under though to share your optimism.
I don't think he needs encouraging in that department, as he's pretty good in grabbing anyway, or so it seems.
From the comment section on this page about the Villioti Fashion Institute comes this interesting quote:
Good day. I sent my child there last year, paid all the fees but until today she does not have a certificate or the clothes that she made. Your phone is no longer going through. Can you kindly assist as i am now suspecting that we were scammed.
Thank you! Love the video

I wasnt sure if it was 5,000 for the 3 year course. Or 5.000 per year. I'm guessing Loll doesn't know either!i thoughtssb said it would be 5k a year for 3 years
so she’s using advent monies to cover it
she’s no intention of letting the ...
name that present / post box
in one ...
ask natti / Marie they security check the post for valuables or chocolate
As I suggested.. siphoning off 5.000 for mummy.. faux fashion guru probably got a cut!I can't either. Must mean she's in on the scam?
Drones seem to be something the male youtubers are particularly into. Carlo from the Positano channel likened flying his drone to driving a fast car and getting a rush of adrenaline. SJ doesn't need a drone when literally every man associated with a chateau has one and would love to fly it around her house. She could use a better camera, but definitely doesn't need her own drone just to film an intro.I cant believe she doesnt own a drone and asked poor Dan to use his to film some new drone shots for a new intro! Dan has only just started his channel and is investing in it by buying a drone and learning how to use it, his editing skills are amazing and hes only been doing it for a few months, she has been doing it for 2yrs and is still filming on her phone!!
