The Chateau Diaries #269 At last Stephanie spoke the truth and admitted it herself to be an imposter.

Take a close look at the eye area and brows of F4:5_Flues in the 2 photos above. Compare her eyes and brows to Isabelle in the first photo when she is standing next to Isabelle, They have similar brows, eye lids, etc, Doesn’t it show the before and after results an upper and lower blepharoplasty and forehead life? Her brow is higher and pulled higher at the outer corners. That is why she looks like her eyebrows are in the middle of her forehead.

Compare to some of these photos from a plastic surgeon

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift): Before and Afters

The Benefits Of Combining Blepharoplasty And Brow Lift | The AEDITION

Combining procedures is not only cost-effective but may achieve more natural and long-lasting results. If the concern is droopy lids, holistically looking at the eye and brow may offer the biggest benefit.

The cost of the three procedures performed at the same time can run around an average of €15,000, There would be a 14 day recovery time after the procedures, easily covered up by the time traveling Shittelaine on a 2 week trip to London during her self imposed 180 day year exile from France to maintain her U.K citizenship, She now has a high hooked arch ar the end of her eyebrows.

What do you think?

What other work has she had done on her face? Do you think she brought the plastic surgeon a photo of Gerry and told him,
“This is my end goal.”

She has loads of fillers in her lips, cheeks, loads of Botox.

I think she looks over filled and I think the eyebrows are caused by too much and a poorly inserted botox as is the pulsating vein in her forehead. She really is looking bad, not younger at all she just no longer looks like herself.

How disrespectful to speak to any guest dressed like that. He was donating over a thousand by auctioning one of his late wife's paintings. She must have known he was coming.

Fanny again showed her lack of breeding by counting it, taking it out of the envelope and then belittling the generous donation saying SHE (THE ROYAL SHE -WHAT SHE MEANS IS MY PATREONS) is spending 200,000 initially. I would think she would be better to spend 200k on getting the house sorted before blowing a wad on an insignificant chapel no one uses. Imagine the good 200k could do for charity- it is immoral. Talking of charity is that crappy gift grab still going? Did she make any donations yet?

Anyone else spot the new blue cement mixer in the background of Dan's vlog. His or a contractors? Was that smoke passing the window opening?
The bed in the background in the yurt had a woman's touch in its presentation but I didn't think it was used, more of a prop. Two pups in a yurt, the bed looked wrong. Maybe Dan plans to start his vlogs from this bed like SJ. Has he toile pjs.

With the “have a nice day” culture, tone of voice is important to knowing the genuine meaning behind the phrase. ...

A lot of people in the UK now say "Have a nice day." A lot of Americanisms eventually get adopted here. Twenty or so years ago, people here always said "Hello" but now practically everyone says "Hi". I don't know if this came from the US but now, people often "See you later" instead of "Goodbye". We used to say that only if we were genuinely going to see someone, probably later the same day but now it's said even if you will never see the person ever again ; it drives me mad! A colleague in another country once even said said that to me on the telephone. I probably saw him once again about three years later! The most annoying thing about these seemingly friendly phrases and this is not from America, is that I have now reached the age when supermarket checkout people call me "Darling" while I inwardly seethe!

OMG....... I did not catch what he said...... YES , what a ungrateful tit!!!
Just like his "mummy" Fanny!

Methinks he was talking about the cache pot having cost 7 euro?

I caught the smoke too. I thought the bed looked very girly and there were flowers on the bedside table.

Definitely and now she's got a Walmart version gigolo hand bag holder aka table setter who's 25 years younger and people be laughing at her or probably smirking in public.

Her narcissistic ego would be wounded enough to rush out and do all that is mentioned. Not against it for right reasons but that lift wasn't done well the eyebrows shouldnt look like a Disney villainess character.

A sales assistant in my late mother in law's favourite clothing shop called her 'pet'.
She was not amused and retorted, I am not your pet, and stalked out.

[QUOTE="graciemckitten, post: 17122344, member: 301044" I would not be surprised to determine she will have spent at least $20,000 plus just on dresses in the year 2023. ...
[/QUOTE]
I would guess she's spent at least a month's patron money.

I am sure Billster will rebuild the organ in the Convent Chapel, whereas Fanny would have just put it in a pile to be covered in peacock poo never to be seen again like everything else at CHMN.

CD around episode 94 and before there is an Ian at the farmhouse all the time making meals there for parties. Spandex Dave is there and MP. This Ian is not the one who brought her pan d chocolatesin the morning.

David and Donna and Ian, the electrician used to be at the chateau a lot but never appear these days. Have they woken up to realise what Fanny is really like? Also, the Georgian musician/chef was said to be a close friend but he's never been back. He was another married man that Kat flirted with a lot!

Uncle Stephen would have covered the pile in a tarp first then the peacocks could tit all over it.

I live in a City that has been voted the most polite is the US, I think almost every year for the last thirty years. I grew up in the Midwest but my mother is from here. I LOVE IT! Everyone is so nice and it makes you feel good, so you are also nice to everyone, and on and on, and when we say have a nice day we bleeping mean it! Some of my go to goodbyes:

1. Have a lovely rest of your day! Take Care!

2. Have a wonderful evening! Be safe!

3. It was lovely to see you! Safe travels!

4. If you don’t know someone that well, Alrighty then!

5. Bye baby, be good. Man woman or child, doesn’t matter.

6. Thank you much! All right then! See you soon! Bye bye!

And these are just people you see at the store, or the tire shop, or at work. The one I love the most, perfect stranger - Hey Baby! How you doin today! Man women or child doesn’t matter. It makes everyday a little bit nicer. It feels good to brighten someone’s day as well. I absolutely love it. I therefore understand Viv for this reason. I know some of you don’t like it, but I live somewhere where that’s the way it is and it is mostly sincere. And it’s nice.

New Orleans is an odd little city. It’s the only place I’ve ever lived where men call each other babe. Doesn’t matter the age, marital status or orientation. It’s almost like punctuation. It’s especially common among coworkers.

My mother was once going out of a shop and held the door open for the person following her. The person said nothing and my mother said "Sorry?" The person said "I didn't say anything" and my mother said "Oh, I thought you said 'Thank you'!"

I do the same. It annoys me when shop assistants plonk change down in my hand and say nothing and make a point of saying loudly , "thank you!" Similarly when someone pushes past, I say "excuse me please." Hubby hates it when he gives way to another motorist and they fail to acknowledge the gesture.
A recent older male guest at the Dump kept his hat on during Maria's pre-cheese concert and Snorty McFF constantly wears his beanie inside (I think he must stick it on ) - since when did that become acceptable? I suppose that if the hostess wafts around in various states of undress that anything goes. Just cut out the pretence that she is running little more than a doss house.

Why the hell does she think removing the humble but universally loved potato from the list of veggies she grows is a good idea? It's recommended as the first vegetable one should plant in a vegetable patch. The first veggie I ever planted in our walled garden here in NIreland was potatoes. And not just 'cause it's "Ireland" (and tradition) but because they are so versatile and easy to grow. Fanny cutting down on carbs or what? Idiot!

I would have understand if her neighbour was a potato farmer, then it would be a small trip to buy a sack of 25kg. Low carbon footprint and locally sourced. I think her neighbours are cow farmers.

Personally I would have removed carrots, since she isn't really able to grown them very well and Maria wants ''normal'' shaped carrots. Which is another sour point in TCD. The food industry try to normalize ugly shaped fruits and veggies so they won't go to waste. And than we have Maria

TCD is too tone deaf to what's going on in the world.

Anyone else see how there hasn't been anymore Ecoflow sponsorship lately?

For ppl gaining weight, I think they are so starved for a nutritious meal when at the farmhouse and when they finally do leave, they get to eat healthier.

Dan would be better off in stating that he is hiring a couple of people to continue to advance the grounds, etc. with the plans of hiring the a construction company in the spring to start going full force and he could state the views would need to stay high for him to do that, etc. Also, since it has been burnt, you are not renovating but rebuilding. If you are going to live there long term and planning on something for your sons, why not talk about how you will run the power, water, etc. This is the time you need to think of those things. Shows it is a short term plan (like a year or 2).

Sometimes I think if I had the money to buy the farmhouse, I would gut it and completely rebuild the inside. But then again, why would I. If I had the money, I would buy property with investment opportunities and when I am not there, short term rental to generate money.

The pictures you have shown of the food, looks hideous. It isn't appetizing at all. And people are paying $75 for it. I agree F4.5F could careless anymore. She is flaunting her spending and tricks the rabid fanbase into believing they are part of this dream. Sadly, that group will not change their minds. I am sad for those people as they are getting taken advantage of and don't recognize it because I think it happens in their day to day lives.

I've been watching youtube channels of Portugal. There are some nice ones but there are some that frustrate me. However, with that being said, one of their own has been given a horrible diagnosis of cancer and they have rallied around. Promoting their channels on their own channels and some going there to help them out so she has a healthy home environment to come home to.

Lacelles - I didn't mind the resin. the stryofoam I kind of did but thought okay. But the astroturf in the front is a turnoff. Just b/c the channel used it for their pool, doesn't mean you should use it. Around the pool kind of makes sense but not out front.

In either his most recent vlog or the one prior to it.. Dan said it had been a busy morning as he'd been to Bric (really?) and that he was having building supplies delivered, later on he said he was meeting with the builders but didn't elaborate... is he getting professionals in or was it just a slip of the tongue.?

With all the land at her disposable they must have room to grow potatoes! Are they not pretty enough? Given the glut of courgette every year, they could certainly reduce the amount grown.

I always hold the door open for anyone who is following behind me and most people say Thanks... one time I held it open and the person behind then decided to dilly dally, not sure what they were doing but after allowing an acceptable amount of time I said rather sarcastically... Are you coming through or are you waiting for a bus? He replied and I had to laugh... What time is the next one due? Then I let the door go on him..

If I were living in such a cold damp place a thin dressing gown would be the last thing I'd go to.. She needs a long length snood to roam around that draughty dump in... Those fleecy socks someone sent to them would be in my top drawer of the dresser... I won't even answer the door in a dressing gown, I'd rather literally throw a coat on and pretend I was getting ready to leave.
