The Chateau Diaries #202 The Fleuries next Christmas grift candle may smell of greed, sweat & regret

[lolander]

Sneak preview from the Fleuries' dining room:
In the next episode Anna will be painting a mural on her Tuscan red walls and Philipp & Benoit will be constructing a trellis which will be decorated with braids of garlic and chili peppers. Their patreons get an opportunity to donate to a go-fund-me to transform the fireplace into a state of the art no expenses spared luxuriously decadent genuine Neapolitan pizza oven. Faaa-bulous!

I WANT TO RIP THAT BEANIE OFF HIS GORMLESS BLOODY HEAD-YOU DON'T WEAR A SODDING HAT AT THE DINNER TABLE YOU PLEB

they all try to act so posh in those restaurants...well having that twit with his beanie on the table spoils it all at least...

They look like Weggewood plates (but I'm no specialist).

Where does that jumped up little prick have the funds to spend in excess of $1200 on Fanny for Christmas? How does she know about it? Nothing like buying yourself (oh sorry girlfriend) a gift with her (sorry patrons) money. Phi Phi is all heart.

The Cabbage plate aesthetic is simple and country and he teams it with burgundy and gold chargers ewww how vile. Something like this would probably be more in keeping and look better in the entrance hall (sorry dining room)

What a scripted and acted vlog that was...omg imagine to be around that bunch all Christmas...i would go mad...I think Perce had treatment thats why he looked a bit better...i wonder how long that lasts...i bet he will be as fragile when Christmas is over.. For sure mummy looked like she had driven all the way from England..i dont think thats the case..i think they came by air..there wasnt a big arrival in the courtyard was there??

where was Davy in this vlog..and Amaury?? i guess amaury was in the kitchen ...and Davy planting the Versailles tree?? or is he gone already...also no mention of the departure of Alexander..people come and go like that place is a trainstation...

Perce needed a Berlesque ballerina next to his bed....i see that pic of those three on that couch dressed as burlesque girls....Mummy where did you hide the outfit?? it must be close by...to get some spirit into that old corps...i bet Perce is also a sneaky bugger...who like to grap the girls in the broomcloset.. the way he looks at the girls sometimes...and also at Fanny makes the mind boggle...

Tantinette and sticky steven had a moment of some intimate laugh...where they forgetting their lines??

I would like to be a fly on those walls when the camera isnt working...i suspect the admosphere isnt at all as they send it off to YT...

The fakeness of it all...and the indulging behaviour...yuk...and the fact her followers all believe its true..

Have you ever seen the 80's movie Weekend at Bernie's?

Fanny reads here. Expect an upcoming CD video with the title, “Weekend at Percy’s ?” with a heavily photoshopped image of the Shittelaine mimicking a shocked expression with her mouth agape and her hands on each cheek. The video will be 14 minutes of the countryside thru a car window with the mind numbing Belle Époque song accompanied by 2 minutes of Percy unpacking and flying his toy plane, followed by a trip to the McDonald’s drive thru window. Riveting.

Here’s a couple of different ways to use cabbage plates that are far more elegant.

Proving hard for her to do any expression currently with all that filler and as she has the cold eyes of a dead cod she is truly a blank canvas unlike the shitto

Lovely the country aesthetic that they are meant for. She has the Spode brown and white chargers. The whole Chateau would look better styled as a comfy country house, this obsession with everything being grandiose is so at odds with the building which I think is very pretty.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like covering your mother's tree in turdglobes!

Honestly I’d be pissed that she was in there with everybody

It's the sort of thing a ten year old girl would do, enjoy sorting out her grandma's jewellery boxes. And who hangs bags on a wall? He really is a child. Does he realise what a fool he makes of himself? At one point, it looked as if aunt and uncle were laughing together about him. I'd be furious if some stupid young upstart had re-arranged my apartment and sorted out my possessions. Fanny and Snorts are really like primary school children. They never, ever, act as responsible adults.

YES all of this

oh come on Grift Wood, give the kid a break. It must be so tedious having to disguise the fact that you're bald every day. Maybe he ran out of black boot polish?

 

[LadyRed]

How unwell must one be to collect such a line-up of boyfriends she's had?

To play Devil's Advocate here, while atypical I don't see anything wrong with remaining on good terms with previous partners if possible. Especially if a friendship had been established prior to a romantic relationship - of course, it all depends on what lead down to the decaying of said romantic relationship. Normally I would say this is a sign of great maturity from both parties - but as we all know, this is definitely not the case here so Fanny's trail of ex-partners in her life remains a mystery. Might have something to do with owning part of the shiteau (and having 0 prospects of selling their share to another mad person).

I wasn't going to watch he video but couldn't resist. I had to keep reminding myself that this wasn't real life, we don't know how many takes it took to produce the scene where Isabelle walks into HER apartment to discover that Phillipa et al have been invading HER space and re-arranging Her things the way the THEY wanted. What's the bet that Isabelle walked in, saw what had been going on and then promptly punched Phillipa?
I thought it was very wise of Auntie to plan the food. I don't see her allowing the sort of meals that get served there when they are on their own. I still shudder from the fried brussel sprouts.
When I was growing up my Mother had cabbage plates but they were strictly for summer lunch al fresco, not a dinner party.
I've noticed that Armoire seems to make himself scarce when his parents are around. Maybe he was filming the feeding of the grifters...
Lastly, what the hell has Strep done to her face? If her skin gets any tighter it will split and she wont be able to close her eyes if she wants to go too sleep.
In order to reduce my blood pressure and get some sanity back into my life I'm off to watch Family Guy. It's tame compared to this bunch.

Memo #110
To: Current Residents
From: Staph Jarvis (prepared on my behalf by my son Caroline, I mean PhiPhi)
RE: Holiday Sing A Long - Courtyard
Herewith with are the lyrics for our song this afternoon. Since I just got a blue coat, I’d like to insist that you pull from your wardrobes something blue as well. Thank you in advance. I will stand in the center surrounded by all. You’ll note we’re only singing the first few stanzas as that is all we have time for in the upcoming vlog. 3 p.m. - please be prompt.

O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Lie, Lie, LaLande
O come and behold ME, born the Queen of Castles (or chateaus, you pick)
O come you may adore ME
O come you may adore ME
O come you may adore ME
at my farmhouse Lie Lie La Lande
O sing choir of houseguests
Sing in exhultation
O do you love me, I know you do

If F4F posted a video with Mummy delivering a swift hard punch to Snorts’ pretentious smarmy face, it would probably be the most popular CD video ever posted.

My local supermarkets have full shelves, I just can’t afford it all. Also our petrol prices have come down by about 40p per litre from the high of a few months ago. The area I live in is still fairly safe but I can imagine if you have heating oil and woodpiles they would be a target at the moment. Every part I know buy for my car is now worth more than my car but I agree that the used car market is really expensive at the moment. I just hope my car gets through its MOT next month with minimal cost or I wont have a car to use. Everything else strike and energy wise problems are country wide and worrying. Rather a dismal outlook here at the moment . @T Rex I’m not surprised your mother decided to leave he UK.

I am one of the lucky few. I don't own a car or drive, I live within walking distance of my work place and the town centre. I use public transportation when I have to, be it buses, trains or coaches.
I use the supermakerts' home delivery services for my groceries shop, I have had no issues with getting produce so far. My electric + gas bill is £74 a month as I live in a flat where I am not able to give meter readings so I pay a fixed amount every month. My flat is also sandwiched in between 2 other flats so temperature wise we get fairly toasty. I do rent however, so no huge increase in mortgage payments issues here.
I have no children or people depending on me so my income is all spent on my needs alone.
I'm also lucky to be fairly young and healthy.
I have no debts to pay. I don't dare take out loans for anything, precisely in case hard times like these might hit me. As such if I require a big purchase, I save up money. If I don't have it, I don't make the purchase.

But like I said, I'm one of the lucky few.

Her being crafty makes s like him being straight.

She, like Fanny, looks completely different without all the make up!

On another note. We celebrate the 24 of December. Ham is a staple dish during Christmas. Mine just finished. Per routine it was tasted and yum yum.

 

[Imperious Me]

Why do those leaves remind me of veiny penises? That's what attracted him to them.... Throbbing all round his dinner.

Do you ever look at what someone is or at on your comments? And you're shocked at what you wrote on a glass of vino last night?

 

[Cleo's Asp]

Try

Interesting that in one of the Saudi fashion designers' Instagram links that you posted, there is a pale blue coat with a fake fur collar! It's not the same style as Fanny's but the colour looks just the same. Could she somehow have acquired that at the same time as the other stuff from Saudi Arabia? I may be wrong but ...!

 

[Pippin speaks out]

I had to keep reminding myself that this wasn't real life, we don't know how many takes it took to produce the scene where Isabelle walks into HER apartment to discover that Phillipa et al have been invading HER space and re-arranging Her things the way the THEY wanted.

I found it very annoying how SJ marched her mother around the room, ticking off every little thing they had done... right down to the "extravagant" touch of leaving marmalade (omg--how INCREDIBLY GENEROUS!). Good Lord. It was a forced inspection and IJ was literally spinning around to try to take it all in. And SJ's voice while pointing out the inventory of "things we've done for you" was like a drill sergeant. Calling out her mother regarding the champagne was just nasty. Why was that even necessary? It's like IJ is not allowed to have any personal items in her own apartment--everything is subject to SJ and Squirrel's nasty hands and the pink phone capturing their actions of touching every stinking thing that belongs to someone else. Also, I did notice that her support squirrel changed his sweater and scarf mid-way through the vlog. I only noticed because early on, he had a little pin holding his scarf in place (which caught my attention at how unnatural it looked on a guy), and then it was completely different. Who IS this kid? I used to feel a bit sorry for him, thinking he was just star struck and naive, and just happy to be getting a piece of her. But he has changed into a very, very, very strange young man. Correction. He probably always was like this, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, I guess. The whole thing is just a parody (except the actors don't seem to realize that they are the joke), with the unfortunate reality of the underlying scam going on. And I agree with an earlier post--get the stupid hat off at the dinner table!!!!!! Idiot.
