When I got my implants my dentist sat me down and asked what I thought about extremely white teeth. I told him I felt they looked unnatural, even when they were natural. I didn’t realize he was testing me for response. With my skin tones they would’ve looked as bad as Gerry’s or Dan’s. I went with what is termed A2 color and if you didn’t know I had implants you would assume I had almost perfect teeth. My dentist put one in slightly crooked and replicated a tiny chip to make them look natural.Oh yes they do. I follow a woman in France who has them. It would be nice of Fanny to gift it to her. She should have also offered to fix FRKs teeth. Having a good smile is really important in today's competitive and social media world. I know a lot people say it doesn't matter, but it does. I had crooked teeth as a child, and I was so happy to get braces. I never smiled for pictures before my teeth were straightened. It's too bad her parents didn't have them fixed as she is young enough to have the benefit of preventative care. Maybe her parents didn't have the money or dentists in Ukraine didn't have the technology. I don't understand why FRKs family didn't get her teeth fixed. From photos of her mom's house and the health care benefits of living in Norway, it should have been done. I know it's expensive, but what isn't? It's about priorities. Being an American we are obsessed with good teeth. It's gotten ridiculous though with celebrities and the wealthy all getting unnaturally white veneers. Just nice straight unstained teeth are fine.
I must correct you here. If they get married the predominant question will be 'Who will wear the wedding dress?'Will they get married ? If they do..... what will the wedding dress be like??
She looks a bit like a young Ali McGraw.I think Ruthie is pretty good looking. Good skin, good hair. Nice eyes. Maybe that's just a bad pic of her. I don't know when the attached photo was taken by Potts, but it's Ruthie. She does have a strong jaw that may look a bit masculine to some.
Undoubtedly Annmarie did the most work in the dump. however he arrived in August 2021. What he has done in the dump is very little for the time spent there. Even if the panels he worked on. Let's say he worked on 1 panel a day to make it. that would be 30 (I guess this number is about right) working days. 4 days for the dentil molding (being generous I know) that's 34 working days. that's 6.5 weeks from start to finish. in the 6 months he made 0.8 panel a week. SJ repeatedly said the guy was up early and 'never' stopped.Things done, a list of few achievements: Armoire, in one of his "deflect attention from the crumbling grand salon" jobs created internal shutters for the Tacky Room apartment. And there was a bit of paint sloshed upon these fine examples of joinery.
things to do, a list of countless unfulfilled dreams, schemes and surveys: bespoke panelling for every room in the decrepit farmhouse. Another item on Armoire's list. And possibly (but I might have made this up?) Internal shutters throughout the house.
The good news is that we can stand down about shutter dogs being finally attached for external shutters, as the (MIA) architect decreed external shutters not of the period (a ridiculous jdea, really, that Lalande should be authenc!)). The bad news is that Spendthrift Stephanie bought the shutter dogs some time ago. A not inexpensive unnecessary expense but, hey, when has that ever mattered.
I am with you. All the things I initially liked I see right through now, I find the flogs so irritating and I can hardly watch and then spend too long on here ranting.I am so on the fence about watching any of it anymore or even reading here. I just absolutely can’t stand her or her “boyfriend”. All the lying, traveling, spending, and idiotic choices. Nothing ever gets done. It’s all so pathetic. I used to quite enjoy a hate-watch. I don’t get much out of a “disgusted apathy” watch. I also don’t give a shit what the Smuglies do next. They wore me out with the kitchen. Funnily enough they got the dining room done in three weeks. I really don’t like the color over the entire room. It’s too much. I like the Beau Chateau, the Fertes really work hard and it’s interesting, Our French Chateau has good content, and Billy gets things done. I can’t bother with the others I don’t think. I don’t want to support the stupid bitch PhiPhi, or Fanny in the slightest.
There‘s a lot more cases of super gonnoreah in the elderly population!Don't stop at chlamydia.
Any STD could be possible in that place if what some Tattlers suspect to be true.
You've nailed it, @Pekey !I don't get it either but I am a person who would never give money to a video maker.
Why her I wonder , with all the money she has been given and nothing to show for it Chateau/Castle wise. Just lots of holidays and expensive things she is buying along the way.
I think it is this KyBourbon...... Fanny has a host of story book characters in her "films" - we have the princess who bought a Castle and needs help so two knights in shiny armour who used to be boyfriends came by and helped her out when her Daddy kicked the bucket! Nearly a Orphan Annie !
We have her mean Mother with her step Father and they come over and make the Castle jump to it ! lots of fights and arguements with Mummy - so that is fun as many have difficult Mothers just like our heroine Fanny.
There is the faithful Tartan Terror , Nati , Kat, Pavlina , FRK, Dan in the Van, scary Tree Guy, Old Cruz and his Mum and Dad ..... oh you could go on and on.
Strange kinky love interest in Squirrel Boyfriend ...... is he or isn't he ? Keeps you guessing and that is entertaining for some people too. Will they get married ? If they do..... what will the wedding dress be like?? etc, etc.
We have dress up parties , places like Venice . Peacocks and sad chickens .... lots of farm animals.
Its like a Disney film and that is what people love and that is why some sad people send her their hard earned money to keep it going. They don't care if the Chateau is never renovated as long as their fairy story keeps being produced.
I do hope Karma gets her in the bum.
I wonder if MPK was with Ryan then. According to his latest instructional auctioneering video Ryan had been to Nantes and a few other cities around Begmania. And Ryan claims Rennes is his favorite city.That's the Mairie de Rennes, 1 hour away from Basmaignee. If you play the video you can hear his voice/laugh.
The city of Rennes puts up an amazing light and sound show every Christmas and a nice Christmas market.
I wonder if he cooked a full-on Christmas dinner on his AGA this year!

SighHot off the YT press! I assume Phyllis posted this and not Fanny. It looks like his parents came today. Smart to avoid the last two days of induced mania.
Yes only a little burnt around the edges. I managed to get it off the baking sheet with a slice.We didn't see what she got PhiPhi because it was a ticket to Dubai...
Oh no! Was your Wellington ok?
Wouldn’t adding the fire escape be a legal requirement. If so shouldn’t it have been checked on by officials. Do you think that Potts apartment is legally allowed to be let without access to a fire escape.The new frames for the raised beds in the garden. The Julie fire escape balcony. The bird cage bathroom. Her bedroom/study since wall removal. Curtains. Getting Matts old van on the road and probably having his machinery serviced. And definitely the stool in the toile bedroom.
And I always thought Snorty looked like Quick Draw McGraw!She looks a bit like a young Ali McGraw.

Also needs to fic chimney piece. She also wants the doors and panelling guilded and is trying..haha to find a specialist painter.
My brother and father both had extremely crooked lower teeth with both of their dentists recommending braces to protect their lower jaws. Dad’s folks couldn’t afford it. Since he didn’t have them he wouldn’t let my brother have them. Because of this late in life my dad’s lower jaw receded to the point it was compressing his esophagus, larynx and trachea. Left untreated it would have killed him slowly. He died before it could be corrected. As a result in his mid 30’s my brother had surgical intervention and adult orthodontia that prevent him suffering the same risk. It isn’t always about unnecessary procedures or profit. Though that too happens far more often than it should. Our system is imperfect but seems as if all are to some degree.Slightly crooked teeth aren't any more risk than straight teeth - you still have to floss and clean them.
Diet is more important for healthy teeth - and regular maintenance.
I think Pavlina's teeth are fine - not a risk to health.
I wonder if the US obsession with orthodontal work is connected to the health insurance scam/national tragedy (that's not to say teeth in other countries are any better looked after - we just aren't as obsessed with straight teeth).
I know I harp on the old Vlogs..... But knowing now what I didn't know then.... I watch them with new eyes. As they pop up as suggested by you tube. I watch. Today is was during lockdown. They routinely ate in the dining room they put the new log burner in. They used the fireplace. Today Nics. Marie made food. She made a dish of vegetables. Fanny remarked "how wonderful we don't usually make vegetables". What kind of crazy place is that???? All that room, greenhouse and they don't have vegetables????
dan did the pantry area and new fridges were bought for it, while F4F was in SA and the scullery got new tiles, and countertops. I think someone arranged the shelves in there with all the white china I can’t think of any other projects finished in 2022marquis ceiling not finished as ran out of moulding. Also needs to fic chimney piece. She also wants the doors and panelling guilded and is trying..haha to find a specialist painter.
Oh T Rex - this all sounds perfect (paarfect). I’m quite impressed! You need to publish a cookbook that includes your planning, recipes! I enjoyed this post!As one who hosted Christmas for family (and hosts friends and family throughout the year), I do not understand Fanny's mindset at all. First and foremost, I get very little sleep- I am the last to bed and the first to awake- I am the hostess, after all, as this is my home. Even with overnight guests, I plan dinner and breakfast. With long term guests, I plan all three meals and snacks. There is no way I would sleep in and just let others faff about trying to figure out what to eat. Programmable coffee pot- greatest invention ever! Brekkie usually consists of things I can make in advance- cinnamon roll dough (ugh, never from a can), crepe batter, quiche, cutting up fresh fruit, pre-cut potatoes, biscuits (I make a ton of them and keep them in my freezer), and then I set bout to making eggs, hashbrowns, sausage gravy, etc. for my guests. Lunch- we usually take our guests out via the powerboat to one of our amazing local waterfront restaurants. I usually put out a massive charcuterie platter around 3-4PM in case someone is feeling peckish. Dinner usually consists of something on the grill- steaks, kebabs or chicken, or pasta, or homemade pizzas fired up in the Ooni, along with a salad, some veg, and homemade bread. And then there is dessert- with everything from Key Lime pie to tiramisu. I always keep the electric kettle on for tea as well, but will always make a cappucino or espresso for anyone who wants one. This year, I spent countless days in preparation for the holiday not only for my guests, but to make additional baked goods for our neighbours and those in nursing homes. (I do this every year- it's a lonely time for so many who are forgotten by their families.) I always try to make sure our family and friends have the best time when visiting us- flying is certainly not inexpensive, and I try to make their time at Casa de T Rex a phenomenal experience. Shame on you, Fanny- you can't even do so when you have paying guests or family coming to stay!
March 1960Does anyone know when Gerry's birthday is???
