You'd have to tweak the nose a hell of a lot more than a bit!

What do we think... a bit of a resemblance to Snorts? Tweak the nose a bit, add brillo tresses? Original Ken has flock hair. Yes, I think it could work!
Me neither, worrying...I've never eaten pork that under done...
Exactly. Wash, rinse, repeat.It's frustrating to read comments like this from people who don't understand the seasonal rhythms at Chateau de Lalande!
This is where we need Caroline Gooder to come in and say something! Dielemon, educate yourself about SJ's schedule!
Spring - spring cleaning, Easter party, travel to Venice, travel some more, walk around the garden, make money off of Patreon.
Summer - buy more garbage to replace everything thrown out during spring cleaning; walk around the garden, make money off of Patreon, make money out of B&B and overpriced dinners. Make more money from patrons on Patreon Days!
Fall - celebrate PhiPhi's birthday, make Amory pretend he's working on something, make money from Patreon, and spend money on travels, spend more money on plants.
Winter - parties....parties....make money, spend money. South Africa.
I wonder what it looks like today? Probably back to the before photo.Exactly. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Tomaz, a volunteer, fixed up the laundry room 3 years ago. He released his “before and after” LaLande laundry room video on August 31, 2020. It looked great…He did a really nice job…for FREE! What the hell is going on, Stephanie? How can a volunteer do this, but you can’t manage to get professionals to work on the rest of your heap?

I never post comments on any of the chateauverse videos, I’ve always kept my commentary here. But, I’m glad that people like dielemon, and people on Patreon, are asking these questions. When someone collects money, tax free, under the guise of restoration, there should be accountability. These are fair questions.dielemon

So is there any renovations/work going on at the chateau? Im missing that footage in the vlogs lately, its always just about dinners
Three words: parties and shopping. They are both distractors for what needs to be done. Alcohol consumption can make all your problems disappear until the next shopping trip, the next travel excursion, the next visit to another chateau. I would love to just ignore the bills, cleaning, necessary appointments, things that need to be fixed and have fun all day long too. However, I was raised to take care of my shit and be a responsible human being. Chores and then playtime.Stephanie’s been talking about these things for years…and on some of the larger projects she said, long ago, she’s already got the money, just waiting on surveys or approvals (or whatever)…for YEARS! What’s the hold up? In this time, Dan has come and gone. Amaury has come and gone, Michael Petherick has come and gone, Ian the builder is gone, Ian the plasterer passed away, Marie has come and gone and returned. Is she just a terrible project manager? Terrible planner? Misappropriated the money? Does she have ANY intention of doing things? Is she just planning on talking it to death until everyone just forgets or moves on because they get so bored with it all? In the meantime she’s got the money.
Barphi……love the name.Here's what I think...
I think only BarPhi has a real job to do at Lalande at the moment as SJ's rent gay, everyone else just gets paid pretending to have a job including SJ herself.

they could at least choose diferent name. dorothy, margareth, something.
She even managed to run off Selmar. Like him or not, he was actually doing work at the farmhouse. He might have been slow, but he was working…for FREE as a volunteer for a long time. Until Stephanie finally started paying him ($50 per day, I think)…but then charged him rent to park his trailer on her property.Three words: parties and shopping.

Who capitalizes all those non-capitalized words? I don't think it's Marie, her command of written English isn't even that good. I think whoever wrote this was drunk, at least I hope they were.“@stephaniedavis6531

Living with and in lovliness is what Stephenie's life is all about. I am so glad she shares it with the rest of us.--- Having watched all her videos minus the Patreon ones, I feel like I'm taking a Master's Class in French Culture, History and Decorative Arts. Also, love her recent venture with Oliver, "Travels with my Friend" . Love learning things about Venice and the rest of Italy. Living a life with lovliness is what we should all strive for.”
Also, that is a pretty big coincidence and awfully close to the numbers of our favorite Tattler @Isabelle6541 …only one number different? (Sorry …numbers stick in my brain to the point that I annoy myself). And do any of these weirdos have spellcheck? Because even my spellcheck is alarmed by the spelling of “lovliness”. That sounds like Marrrrrrie’s spelling.

The laundry room isn't looking too bad -- except when FRK's doing her bottle thing. It's in her most recent workshop flog.I wonder what it looks like today? Probably back to the before photo.
As much as I like pork, I'd never eat it that pink. Its asking for trouble. They had pulled pork for lunch, and pink pork for dinner. Gastronomicly redundant. Gastrointestinally repugnant.I've never eaten pork that under done...
Exactly. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Oops.Thank you @ComtesseRose for keeping us all on track with the new threads- spelling police here.... doesn't Wonderful have an R missing? If it's on purpose I apologize... Happy Birthday to all the August People
Oh man, that before pic is disgusting... filthy. Is that the standard she grew up with?Exactly. Wash, rinse, repeat.

He is so sweet.. I bet he makes those adorable squeaky noises and smells so good. Thanks for the pic.Hello TL aunties and uncles!
Baby Potpourri wishes to say HI from the nice big crochet blankie his Texas nanna made for him!
He had a little photoshoot at Central Park near the Alice in Wonderland Statue today after brunch.
He was such a good boy today for not pooping until we got back home!
His grandpa is still not convinced that he needs a set of fine China, but he is bound to inherit the family ritual Kiddush cup and plate!
Thanks for all your warm and positive thoughts.
