The Chateau Diaries #22 The Church of Stephinology

[Gibson]

Penance finished. I need to go and lie down-As much as I admire Selmar, i fear he is not a natural Vlogger.

I must now get on with some real work and not be distracted by baiting posts on here...you know who you are! *Flounces off*

 

[ploppityplop2]

That's what I keep picking up on as well. She wanders into the workshop and Selmar tells her what he's doing, or into the garden and Dan has just been getting on with stuff off his own bat. Who the hell is in charge, in her own home?
I wonder how much Isabelle is invested in the chateau now that she has remarried and moved to SA? I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't risk coming back this year.

There’s also the constant surprise when she’s woken up at midday to find contractors outside

 

[TheTaxInspector]

I'm not looking, I am doing penance.

True penance is "Sean's World". I started watching "Welcome to Sean's World" this morning and started to doze off after a few minutes - I could barely keep my eyes open with the boredom of it. I was eating a banana at the time - Sean was sitting on a bench holding a mug of tea driveling on about some inane crollocks. I woke up a few minutes later to discover that my banana (fruit) had dropped off as well - not to sleep but onto the floor - and that my foot had inadvertently squashed the banana, reducing it to mush (what your brain turns into after watching these vlogs). I looked up at the screen and discovered that Sean had moved from the bench to his living room, where he was holding a copper cooking pot and droning on about some other inane load of crollocks... I've never seen anything so boring in all my life! Actually, I think this is worse than penance - it's actually life threatening!

She’s probably exhausted from being surprised all the time! The amount of adrenaline coursing through her veins must be astronomical, she’s always in a state of shock!

 

[Princess and the Pea]

Right on! I used those tricks in my younger days, laid on the charm, batted my eyelashes, whole 9 yards. Then I grew up. I can read Stephanie like a book because I’ve read it a long time ago.

She plays people like a fiddle. Look at Ian, “oh Ian, you charming, wonderful, handsome man. Oh you brought pastries? What a saint you are!“ Blah Blah, more syrupy sweet nonsense, Blah Blah Blah. Then what do we see him doing? He and his helpers are out there cleaning out her crap! SJ not lifting a finger, besides grabbing a blanket and poking around little bits of junk. She didn’t have any intent of helping, she was wearing for white for God’s sake!

Her universe is so bassackwards. Volunteers paying her Patreon money and then working for free in the garden? Volunteers helping out at the chateau and giving her free interior, garden, graphic design work? Handymen bringing her pastries and then cleaning out her garbage? Please God, Make it make sense, because my brain is struggling!

Exactly. I roll my eyes everytime Ian the builder brings in the pastries & I can see his face lights up when she acts like she's just sooooo grateful & he's so clever and helpful blah blah blah blah. I want to shake him. IAN WAKE UP!!!! she's using you fella.

[/QUOTE] S
Sadly lots of women never matured beyond that behavior. Cliquing up like gaggles of geese pulling strings and attempting to be in control. There's a lot of conditioning that makes women jealous and insecure. Independent women scare and intimidate these immature women. Constantly seeking validation. Most of my guy friends can spot this behavior coming their way. You're absolutely right it's immaturity and insecurity. These types just lack self respect.

 

[FrenchGirl123]

I keep being blown away how exemplary the "work" of SJ has become for her lack of responsibility and ownership of that tit-show-shat-oo. She had announced a spring cleaning weeks, no months ago, but had been distracted by random visits to places she shouldn’t have travelled to during a pandemic, but who cares. Instead of taking charge of her own pile of rubbish, she leaves it to the builder and, no surprise, even the builders helping friends, to empty out HER room of doom, a space filled with all HER clutter from years of HER wasteful life-style, to do HER dirty work for her. She then asks him “So this is stuff we're keeping?”, obviously not have been involved in making any decisions. If she sees her mothers blanket in the debris, instead of wondering how it got there in the first place, she says “She'll freak if that goes”, as if it’s not her business but the builder’s. It might have been Spring cleaning at the tit-show-shat-oo, but not executed by it’s owner who rather has her head tied up in fantasizing about future milk-cow-apartments and studios.

Exactly what I thought too.
I was shocked to see Ian the builder's friends "helping" him for a job SHE should have done months ago.
I mean WTH : asking your own friends to help for someone' else's rubbish ? I've never seen that before this video !
As for Isabelle's blanket in this mess...quelle horreur !
Note the two blinds she "rescued" : she had no idea where they were.
It's worse and worse.

Maybe it's wishful thinking that has triggered the new image, along with the dye job!

Genius. However, may I make a small request. Can we know what the dress code is for vlog viewing? I would not in any way want to outshine the leader as she must always be the centre of attention adoration.

 

[Jeeves]

oh I believe ..... you

Oh oh, @Gibson's back on the naughty step!

I must confess here I know Ian’s wife. She is a truly lovely lady and also not that long married to Ian. I expect they have a bit of a giggle about it together and that he doesn’t take it too seriously. I wouldn’t be surprised if she buys the pastries, it’s the kind of thing she would do!

OMG - she wasn't roped in to the -ooo clearance was she?

Yeah, we all have to be cool in the face of flagrant flirting by women who are blatant in their phoney flattery to try to get a cheap job done, or just that other little bit of work that doesn't make it on the bill. He's soft on her as my mum used to say. You can see it on his face.

That chap holding the ladder for Fanny's descent certainly had an eyeful!

Looking back .. saw this again .. realised that this is my favourite post

In reply to
@Raspberrybrulee "Things are moving along so fast on here I've got really behind and I'm still on Gin, Sin and Presents in the Bin. Is anyone willing to do a short summary of the last couple of days please? Anything much happened since Saturday?"

So right. But isn't it just classic 'hoarder' behaviour? It was discussed ages ago on an earlier thread. She was under pressure from all sides to clear out the rubbish around the place that she has, in one way or the other, allowed to be left there. She got loads of positive feedback when she announced her closet cleanup, but I bet it hurt her to actually do it. I still don't believe that very much was discarded in the end. So, she left the clear out of the room of doom to others.......and then hovered over the junk pile and pulled out that smelly blanket (diverting the blame onto her mother in the process) and then extracting that dusty old poster for herself. I could see she was just itching to go through the whole darn lot of it and I sensed the tension in her voice as she was 'gleefully' waving goodbye to truck after truck of rubbish. She will be having nightmares about all the 'treasures' that might have been carted away. Classic hoarder IMO.
