A Girl - The Escape

A Girl is a 26 year old influencer from the U.K. with auburn hair, fake tan, blue eyes, smattering of freckles, likes to wear sun dresses, who dreams of living a fairy tale in a caste like chateau France. She works as an assistant manager for a hotel chain near the motorway flyover who wants to reinvent herself as a chatelaine of a fairy tale castle in France.

A’s vlog channel called Chateau Life v. Chateau Diaries.

A avidly watched shows like Chateau Rescue DIY. (remind you of Chateau DIY?)

A is happy and bubbly, and dreamed of being a princess in a castle, plays a damsel in distress constantly and is self centered, shallow, materialistic, lazy, selfish, thinks very highly of herself, entitled, indulged, etc. A would take off without thinking of anyone else and has done it many times before. Good at dodging questions, changing the subject, and deflecting attention to something else.

A speaks very little french to no french, boyfriend speaks no french.

A always had admirers, people bending over backwards, giving her things for free – because she’s pretty, because she’s mastered being the damsel in distress. She has avoided responsibility and accountability for her entire life and avoids anything that might cause her discomfort.

A was very spoilt by her parents, who bought her princess gowns and curtsied to her, promising her a fairy tale. She always wanted a fairytale castle and to be a chatelaine. It was her dream. “Fairy-tale” is mentioned a dozen times in the book.

A has an older sister, Erin, who is a nurse. Their elderly mother was ill with cancer. Their Dad left them a long time ago to begin a new family with another woman. Hmmmmmm...

A was always self-centered but got much worse after she achieved some youtube success (with one million subscribers with thousands of views per video), constantly documenting of every thing she does, revealing intimate details about herself, using people for content, selfishly excessively spending money like water,

Vlogging brought out the nastiest traits in her. She was documenting a fake, pretend life and not being honest about anything she is vlogging.She doesn’t care if her vlogs are not truthful.A fake cries to influence viewers and is offended that anyone would think she would fake crying on a video.

A hates to spend money on heating, either in the U.K at her apartment or in the French chateau because she was trying to save money. Both the UK apartment and the chateau are freezing cold.

she and boyfriend signed a NDA about the sale of chateau, contract, etc.

Potts will forever and always be a discount Hugh Grant wannabe (meh)
Eww... Potts should be considered road kill next to Hugh Grant. Simply not comparable.

That man is simply not attractive.

Well Lochy........ I won't be making him a Pavlova ! or a Eton Mess !!
What a wonderful allegory for PhiPhimodo.
"He considers himself to be a layered Pavlova, when in reality he's just a crumbly Eton Mess."

Jack (A’s boyfriend of 8+ years)
Eight years together and he still refuses to get married

He is a untruthworthy people pleaser with unwashed black hair is lying flat to his scalp, who is slick and has many affairs and hookups during relationship with A. He is a sleaze ball, lazy, cheating on his girlfriend, and secretly takes a job for the bad guys installing video cameras all over the chateau.( which ex boyfriend of Fanny makes money with a camera?)

She gets Jack to move to France because he could figure out what he wanted to do in life, set up a workshop so he could try carpentry. Hmmmmm. Like Cuz Anne Marie?

A pretends Jack is the best boyfriend on videos. Jack got up early for me. Best boyfriend
ever. Jack brought me coffee. Amps up the relationship on the vlog: We are a LOVE STORY, we are SO HAPPY, like a fairytale. We are FALLING IN LOVE with the chateau and with each other more and more each day. (Meanwhile, Jack is screwing around at the town pub, which is described exactly like the pub with the 70's vibe in the village near LieLande where Fanny has filmed videos.)



Chateau Ballay, the grifted chateau given for free to A and boyfriend Jack
A scrolled thru French real estate website looking for a chateau that she desired and wanted a ballroom, a grand staircase, outdoor pool, and a sweeping estate.

A finds Chateau Bellay, located in moved to the remote Côte Chalonnaise wine region

It has high ceilings, wood paneled rooms a pool, a grande entrance hall and staircase. (All of the things that Fanny desired at LieLande but does not have).

A references garden parties with lanterns and hammocks strung up between fruit trees. (Weren’t there photos of Fanny with Tess and others in this type of setting)

Description of Chateau Ballay:
Perfectly proportioned – as tall as it’s wide. Built from limestone the colour of butter with granite rimming the windows like smoky eyeliner. There are sage-green shutters (instead of blue shutters), a Juliet balcony wrapping around the upstairs room.

The roof is spiked with hooded windows, pointy like witches’ hats. The courtyard has a fountain in the middle.

Chateau Bellay is a seventeenth-century manor house in southern Burgundy, in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise wine region. (I believe this is a couple hours away from Lie Lande).
The tower in the book doesn’t lead to A’s bedroom.

The walls and floors of Chateau Ballay were uneven. This could generate a sensation that the chateau is moving, with the walls and floors moving like a ride at an amusement park. (Hello.... not so grand salon walls, upstairs walls and floors at the Dump that were “catasrophically collapsing” last year at this time).

The sister who entered the chateau couldn’t feel her hands because it was freezing inside the chateau.

A decorated the main rooms with holly and mistletoe that she got “from the garden.”

The chateau has lemon-yellow curtains tied back with silk tassels (hello fanny and phi phi with his silk tassels) add a homely feel and a tapestry (hello isabelle tapestry) hung across the length of one wall.

Walnut-panelled walls and biscuit-coloured parquet floor. There’s a long oval dining table in the centre and a piano to one side, beneath a solid gold-framed painting of a hunting.

I will say it again . . . you are a very good friend Ms McKitten.

As for Ruthy Writer, she is taking inspiration from all over the place.
I've heard it said that writers are encouraged to write from experience . . . I could very well believe Ruth would not have to use a lot of imagination but could draw from personal experiences at the dump.

FINAL POST ON BOOK

ASSORTED FUN BITS AND BAUBLES FROM THE BOOK
A FIRED FROM HER JOB AS AN ASSISTANT HOTEL
MANAGER
Cara, her boss at the hotel,
never liked her and always dismissed her interior design ideas and did not like A’s vlog or vlogging. Cara fired her.

This is where it gets interesting, in the last reference to her boss that fired her, boss Cara is suddenly referred to as Clara. Hmmmmmm.....

.....half expecting Clara to have already sent her the P45
. (Why did the name of the boss who fired A change from Cara to Clara? Hmmmmm).



The solicitor who contacted her about the chateau arrangement from the sketchy benefactor was a Solicitor and partner at Gerald and Sons 45 New Bond Street London W1.


Delphine - the crazed fan stalker. (Fun fact, a nickname for Delphine is FiFi, hmmmmmm........)

Delphine is described as a “sweet girl” who works as the local boulangerie and described as a person she would not normally associate with/ hang out with in England. If phi phi “sweet”? This is A’s only friend. Fifi considers A to be her “best friend.”

Delphine wants to take over A’s youtube channel and co- host with A. FiFi showed up in the cellar where A is being held captive by FiFi wearing A’s favorite yellow dress with daisies on it. Fifi had already rehearsed a video outline that A isn’t feeling well so Fifi is taking over the channel until A gets better and A sends love and kisses (or something to that effect).



A vlogging after she gets the grifted free chateau ballay:
opens vlogs with “hi lovelies,” gives a weather reports, repeated trips to town to get croissants. Ends videos by blowing kisses and telling viewers how much she LOVES, LOVE, LOVES living at the chateau.

loves to sqeal, jump, clap her hands and wave her hands around like jazz hands.
overly gushing, quivering fake voice, everything is adorbs, like a fairy tale, magical, she loves all the viewers so much!Like and subscribe!!!

apologizes to her lovelies for not posting videos, then claims they have been super buay and have another exciting discovery about the chateau. Talks about secret projects, finding the original plans to the chateau.

Have I mentioned in this video how much I love this place?

makes reference to Pride and Prejudice and that she feels like she is on a film

brags that she learned that her chateau was used as a retreat for royals and…check out the billiard table

She knows little to nothing about the history of the grifted chateau.
Off camera, she has

A has problems generating content for her vlog since she cannot film any renovation work.(in thebook they aren’t allowed to renovate, at the Dump, they rarely do renovations so no content).

A chases various local people and boyfriend Jack around in markets, stores, etc. with her camera, and they all walk off camera or disappear as soon as she shows up screeching, Bonjour!!!! Excitedly chases a person who shows up at the chateau, and the person waves her away.

A finds long lost plans for the original chateau. The original chateau burned down in 1652 and parts had to be rebuilt. (Lieland partially burned down and portions had to be rebuilt).

A is always catching up with admin, calls the chateau “our estate.”

A had a huge unicorn pool toy. (Fanny’s pool toy in the fountain and moat)

viewers and friends who watched her channel talk about how it is strange that A's plans to renovate vanished and that she never mentioned the B & B idea again after she ditched the crowdfunding. No one knew how she paid for the chateau.

A makes all types of discoveries, hidden secrets, and surprises about the chateau, etc.
We’ve discovered the floor and the staircase are an exact copy of those in the Queen’s house ..............

THE END. WHAT DO YOU THINK? WAS RUTHY WRITER SOMEWHAT INSPIRED FROM HER VISITS TO THE DUMP AND HER CLOSE FRIEND FANNY?
Was A escaping the chateau benefactor/ group of bad guys and the rabid fan/friend who wanted to be A and/or besties with A (Phi Phi), sharing a youtube channel, money, and fame? Or both.

On Nov 12, 2023. Fanny put out a video about touring the Chateau "Estate." Was she inspired by her pal's book which had just been released a couple weeks earlier?

She really hasn't had to go far to draw on inspiration. She's lived it.

I thought the sweet little friend could be Marie.

I wonder if Ruth and Stephanie are still on speaking terms after Fanny reads the book.

I just looked up her background again in the book. They gave a brief background. Delphine Ramousse likes to smoke pot, her mother was an addict, and she assaulted the partner of her ex.She is a master baker at the local boulangerie.

I thought the choice of name was interesting.

It reads more as an expose dressed as fiction.
And if you weren't aware of what goes on behind the scenes, you would accept it as fiction.

Snorts is getting careless, his extensions are messy and he has forgotten the head dye.
Those cathedral plates can fetch money, he is expecting praise for being such a clever boy finding so many plates. He needs a big wallop on his bare backside .
Soneone punch that wanker FFS!

Could not believe that stupid old trout standing underneath old st Joseph while the blokes are trying to lower it.

That poor bloody dog will sadly end up with either broken legs or worse, curtains for Ratso with a broken back. He will end up wriggling out of someones arms and falling to the floor.

Shame on them. Don't want to buy a friggin star, just get your finger o

WAKE UP PATRONS AND CRAZY FANS, YOU'RE BEING TAKEN FOR FOOLS.

Reading through the comments under the vlog just makes me want to bang my oder someone else head against the wall over and over again. How stupid can people be to fall for the same trick over and over again? Unbelievable, just disgusting.

Did we find out where Nattzi and Ambury go on holiday too?
No. No hint. No mention on Instagram. I hope it was really a vacation. Amaury seemed so traumatized, I suspected the time out was to get help. Whatever, wherever he was, I hope it helped him deal with what was bothering him.

Oi, Crae! You live up to your moniker and are utterly cray cray.

Give the heating lot space and time to regroup he'd be bankrupt in that case.

These idiots are beyond thick!

Have we any idea how much she earns from YouTube? I'd love to have an idea. I'd like her 30k pm patreon grifting and her monthly YouTube earnings flagged up every hour of every day! Of course I'd be banned! Maybe we could get friends to do it. I'm pretty laid back, but am close to exploding re the death and the greed there. This additional begging has almost tipped me over the edge
