Thank you @Iolander for setting up the new thread - and of course to the valued Tattlers for the glossary, artwork, intro and so on. Could we add GAG for Grab A Gift - I believe it was @Mrs O's suggestion.

I'm sure we'll revisit this again!

@Mummy Dearest - please repost your fab scrapbook page again here as I 'd hate for any Tattlers to miss it! I love it!

@Green Fairy said in thread #19:
“What I don't understand is Nic and Potty. We know Stephanee is a delusional narcissist with Daddy issues but why don't N & P have more say of what should be the priorities in renovation. It's their chateau too. They seem reasonably savvy, why are they not insisting that Stephanee gets more than one quote for each of these projects. Come to think of it why are they not protecting their investment by making sure that structural issues are dealt with before Fortuny fabric for the princess's bedroom. It's madness.”

I’m curious about that too. Is it because she is the majority owner? Or maybe since the YouTube channel and Patreon account are to her name she can do whatever she wants with the money without consulting Nic and Potty?

Just wondering if we should be including a welcome at the start of the thread, to all the new visitors we can expect after Brenda's post?

Sure thing! I apologize for the quality, trying to figure out the best way to make these and post them.

Too late, you have only 30mins to edit from publishing

What did you think of Brenda's post? Except that she's our avid reader. Finally somebody else is starting to see how we see DIO, I thought it was a great opening and hopefully some of his patrons stop financing him. Are superfans reading Brenda's FB page? I hope so.

It was as though she's been here reading and taking notes! Talk about a U turn!

One thing is sure : she is flexible... Or just moody don't make her an enemy... You will regret it. It's funny how suddenly the superfans show doubts on Facebook.

OK, her report looks nicer

Just watching last nights vlog... the framing expedition and I got a good look at the whimsical painting, yet another painting of a naked blonde girl about to be ridden sideways by someone.... - well, it's utter whimsey to me too...
Going by prices here, to get that lot framed, in the mouldings she chose, a conservative estimate - guestimating in old money about 40ft of moulding for all those works of tat, at my local framers prices for that size of moulding is ferocious money - unless it cheap nasty plastic crap material - you're looking at minimum Euro 35.00 to 40.00 or more depending per foot of moulding, plus labour. Easey peasey é1,500.00 minimum for that lot of tat. Thank you Patrons... so easy to spend other peoples money isn't it.

Beware the duplicitous.

If this is in reference to DB, I suspect she has something up her sleeve. Why would she take the risk of going from MPK's stan to persona non grata? She is betting on the winning horse, I guess, and it looks like it ain't MPK. If she is going to exploit the "relationship" with a chateau owner, she is better osf with "more stable" SJ. I wonder if there is going to be another goth lingerie photo shoot going on when she pulls up with her first tour bus. In any case, she is going to ride on SJ's coattails as SJ expands her diplomatic relations with the ETTCDIY gang. Unless I missed something and SJ is falling out of favour too? If this seems obvious to all of you, I have to admit that, while I enjoy a good gossip, I am a terrible judge of character and am also pretty naive. I am, however, learning from the best here on Tattle! What an education!

Those paintings belong in the attic (never to see the light of day). Or better yet, ship them off to Mummy in SA, so we never have to look at them again, they would go better in her modern house anyway. SJ’s “artwork” is such a hodgepodge of crap. If she’s going to spend a mint on framing, at least frame something that fits the aesthetic of the shat-oo, not wannabe Picasso art, paintings of herself, and a squirrel, especially if she’s wasting the patrons’ pensions on it. Steph, girl, invest in some motel art for the b & b, no one will be offended by floral tat paintings, unlike the paintings of horny gardeners and used condoms. Try explaining that one to the kids while you’re off on a relaxing weekend vacay at la la land.

Or why are the Patreons not asking for her to do that?

 

[Sandton]

Thanks for posting the Brenda gibbons posts. So it’s clear that she has now seen through mpk. On the basis how can she not see through stefani as the same surely would apply to her funding priorities and expecting others to pay for her chato.

do anyone know is lalaland still bg endorsed / approved ?

I really don't get the paintings at all but they fit in perfectly in the ooo.

An eclect style, if done properly can look good - but when you add in LOTLL's preference for highly patterned wallpaper and mismatched curtains they fit right in.

The ooo will never be stylish in the way that some others are, so the only draw is LOTLL and the misconception that she is your friend and will make a fuss of you when you visit.
