The Chateau Diaries #280 Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder how much $$$$ you are

[Marquis de Potpourri]

Hi, Tattlers! Marquis' wife here with a quick update on my husband.

He arrived home the other day wearing an orthopedic boot and accompanied by his cousin. I'm so glad we get to spend Christmas with him.
Unfortunately, he missed Chanukah but it's extra meaningful for him to celebrate Christmas with our son, who is doing very well by the way.
Hubby is expected to fully recover in about two or three weeks. I'm just so grateful to have him back.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Here's a pic he sent me the day before he flew out of Tel Aviv (he never misses a workout day), and here's one of our son's fifth-month photo shoot.

On Billy Petherick's vlog today, he responded to readers who had been commenting on Yannis' lack of safe work boots. So, Billy acknowledged the viewers and gave Yannis a proper pair of work boots (especially important now, as they demo part of the second floor of the convent). Total opposite of how Stephanie would have handled the situation. She'd delete any of those type of posts-let alone spend a penny on someone other than herself.

I’m way back on page 7 of 24… I’m finishing up some last minute details before Christmas tomorrow. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to those that celebrate.

How often do we really pay attention to that stupid chalk board in the filthy Lalande kitchen? Not enough. I ran it through my dark / light reverse osmosis high spectrum filter and discovered some recently erased info…

The peasants are revolting…

 

[whiskeynfire]

I can only imagine it's the SUNK COST FALLACY- the patreons and rabid fans have invested so much that they can't see the writing on the wall, or perhaps the "stars on the chapel ceiling". People find community in many places, including here. They've found community in that realm and now they don't want to leave what they've formed, even if they're being completely taken advantage of. I'm at a loss why else they stick around.
And how must those SCAMMERS in LIELAND feel when they can pull in $100,000 in a week with an obvious scam? They must feel invincible. Sincerely. YOUTUBE AND PATREON and PAID SPONSER money isn't enough, they have the NERVE to solicit donations??!!
They LITERALLY spend months TRAVELLING to exotic locatations, spending thousands on VANITY PROJECTS and obsessing over HEIRARCHY and any mention of ROYALTY.
If they throw this in everyone's face, imagine what they are hiding??
"We love the chapel!"... just not enough to spend our own money restoring it, but enough to ask you all to restore it.
Inviting the public to enjoy it?
Literally they are in the middle of nowhere, even difficult to rent a car out there. No problem! PAY $250-300 A NIGHT TO VISIT THE STAR YOU PAID FOR.
Even better, keep your peasant arse at home and let us enjoy the money you send. Just look at it online and fawn over us.
Hyperbole is now the official language of LIELAND. Everything is CRISIS over a weathered linen napkin, the HERO who uploaded a video at night. A HERO FOR UPLOADING A VIDEO!
She can talk about the beach vacation house, her house in London, Granny's house (even though she's rarely there), POTTY'S house and finances, BAGHEAD NICK who wants the money but doesn't want the embarassment of acknowledging it. POTTY who wants to FLEECE as many of the followers as possible before the fairytale ends with SAFARI and RACE CAR photos. Of course he wants in on the STAR SCAM, because they are the most GULLIBLE.
Look at us on the Riverboat Nile Cruise, here we are in Venice luxury, look at us in luxury here, and here, and there, and over there as well. We live in a crumbling home, but really we're all about VERSAILLES. We shall live in luxury because we declar it. Live within your means, well then you're just JEALOUS.
But dare to mention it and the zombies attack!

 

[Pekey]

Its Christmas Day here in Oz and of course our Kiwi Cuz's got there first .

I want to wish ALL the Hags and Hell Hounds of Tattle a wonderful season .

I do hope you have been a good Hag all year and there is a Star in your Christmas Stocking , a Tante Christmas Cake , Champagne from Hanni , anything from Fortnum & Mason , Sourdough from Potts, piece of crap china from Snorts, flowers from FRK all wrapped up in a spare bag from Bag Head.

Whats that you say? Nothing from Fanny in the bag ?? No girlfriend - Fanny gets stuff - she does not Give Stuff !!!

Seasons Greetings to all you wonderful people from Yum Yum and Pekey !!! As they say at LaLaLande --Drink Up !!!

 

[Tea with lemon]

Here I am.
Our tradition is to fast and decorate the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Whether believers or not, it is customary to fast. This means that there are a variety of fish dishes for lunch or dinner. We got sushi from a friend and cooked cod stew to last until Christmas Eve dinner. We are going to my parents for Christmas Eve. The menu includes traditional dishes from our region. River fish soup, fried carp and bean and potato salads.
Tomorrow, Christmas Day, we are at my husband's parents for lunch. We exchange gifts. Everything is traditional on the menu: beef soup, Sarma, pork roast, salad made of boiled vegetables and mayonnaise, as a side dish, always another surprise dish and, of course, cakes.
I made the cakes!

Merry Christmas everyone!

How is the dead man's family?

As he was a consultant of the Heating Company, not a person who vlogs, the family will want their privacy.

My daughter Irene bought a star in memory of my husband. I was so happy when she told me I cried tears of happiness

Stephanie, if you had an Christmas ornament made of the chapel (much like Dan’s fundraiser) I would certainly purchase a few!

Especially if Michael took pictures of each of the stained glass windows, perhaps looked into a type of perspex or glass printed hanging decoration!

Even Michael could take photos of the beautiful parts and make Christmas cards, and calendars to fund the underfloor heating

I think people are finally cottoning on that Stephanie is a conwoman. Stealing from the gullible to fill her pockets with gold.

You are rude, and that is an awful thing to say

OMFG. It makes me feel sick to my stomach, watching her grift the money out of people that are just falling for it. For a freaking star on the ceiling. If it was for a real organization, or something that would benefit a worthy cause, that would be different. But this is outright thievery and only for her. And last week I read a comment that was written by someone who said that they were sorry they couldn’t buy a star right now, but that they would have enough money by next month to buy one. And how can she do this to people? As has been said many times, she is a consummate, narcissist, and con woman.

Also, the man that fell off the roof and died…maybe she should’ve quietly donated money to his family to help them? I wonder if a lawsuit will be coming her way on that one.

 

[Karma baby!]

So the 400K to restore the chapel didn't include the floor?! What else does it not include? The pews, the altar, the sacristy area, the wrought iron doors, lighting?

She will keep selling stars and coming up with costs she forgot to mention before....

Will she have to pay taxes on the money, or did they find some loophole to have the funds connected to the Lalande "Association" or whatever?

Did she ever share the quote from the chapel painters to Patrons as promised?

OMFG!!!
When she said if we get more money we restore the floor too, I was ready to through my wine glass into the tv!!

Times like this I really truly hope there’s a hell for her to go to! Con artist is not enough of a term to describe her! We need to coin a new term!

 

[C'est moi]

For us menopausal hags, SCIENCE!
This used to be me 10 years ago, apologizing for everything just to be courteous. Not now, though. If you run me down with your grocery cart, I will lay you out, in front of everyone in the grocery store!

So this is me putting my hand up to not giving a fuck anymore. Bravo Wanda for spelling it out. In public places my thoughts no longer stay on the inside! I speak them out quite vocally. This morning in the supermarket some young flibberty-gibbet pushed past me to get through the doors first. In my normal voice I said - ooh pushy, so fucking rude. She actually turned round and apologised. Later, at another supermarket (I was on a veritable supermarket roll this morning) an arsehole rolled his window down and called me a connasse for slowly driving in the car park. I looked directly at him and said - fuck off big man. He looked suitably shocked and chastised. Bollocks to goodwill to all men (and women) when they piss me off.

So lovely, shiny, new thread in time for Christmas. Thank you as always @ComtesseRose for all your stirling work. Bravo @graciemckitten @Fleur du mal and @Boleyn sister for title and nom.

This fucking star scam has got to be up there with selling London Bridge! And hopefully it will be Despicable fanny's undoing. There are so many dissenting voices on her flogs now (and it's not just the 15 hags, trolls and haters) it has to snowball soon. Let's hope for a Christmas miracle.

 

[Thebirdandthefrog]

Everything about the image is pathetic.

Totally agree. That room is one of the ugliest rooms in the dump… that Asian restaurant/brothel wall paper, the nailed on the wall lost & unmatched curtain in the corner, the monstrous painting on the wall, the ridiculous Christmas decor over it, the ugly patterns on the sofa and pillows, that monstrosity on top of the piano and of course, the scariest and ugliest pieces among it all, that creature standing in the center of the picture holding a poor innocent dog on his arms…

 

[Balmoral]

Could it possibly be that Narnia is also off limits?? They had boxes and boxes and boxes of grifted and bought baubles - it's not possible that more were needed unless the supply had been embargoed ? Truly insane.

Dana's kitchen pic was obviously from last year as Amaury looked happy and 20 years younger. Side note about the mysterious Alexander's abrupt departure. Do you remember that he was arriving for part of the winter to sew etc and spent one of his first evenings with Pheefs and Jared decorating peacock tree as a treat for exhausted Fanny who had retired. The 3 were up all night (shenanigans?) and the next morning - it was decided that the shatoh was too cold for Alexander and he was bundled out the door!

 

[JackSpratt]

I fear you could be right on this prediction.

I'd laugh and laugh if they called her bluff and said they were getting married in Argentina. Aumary, Natti if you're reading this please have your wedding anywhere else other than at the nut house.

 

[Fleur du mal]

Interesting that she's happy to decorate the farmhouse for TV but can't be bothered doing it for her followers/ patrons who are financing her lazy arse.

Thanks, Comtesse Rose

 

[BigGreenMeany]

The cheek, the nerve, the gall, the audacity and the gumption - that BITCH is now marketing her fucking porno-chappel-stars with AIDS victims. Hell has a very special place for her I hope. I am livid, absolutely fuming.

 

[Fleur du mal]

Critical posts are popping up everywhere..followers are banned and blocked for asking questions about the heating, truffles, accidents and missing friends. It seems true that some of her friends have distanced themselves since the latest accident and star scam. Her arrogance will be her downfall- pride before fall, Fanny! Time will tell.

 

[graciemckitten]

What in the hell does she see in him? Everyone has to laugh and talk about him behind his back. Even the frozen Grannie is probably laughing.

Clara once wrote something to the effect that DelPHIne the Douche was primarily the one coming up with “ storylines”, scripted scenarios, and ideas for grifting, the Dump videos, etc. I think Fanny is so fu**ing lazy, I could see her initially handing off plot lines, etc , for her reality soap opera to him in the beginning, then Snorts sneakily forced a chateau diy reveal of Fanny and Snorts being a “ faux“ couple, cementing his status for a while so she couldn’t get rid of him. During that time, he was busy deleting negative comments, posting fake gushing comments about himself, waiting on Fanny hand and foot, and isolating her while nosily running thru every drawer, room, computer, book, etc. in the Dump, gathering info on the Dump, Mummy, Fanny, etc. Recall as soon after he arrived at the Dump, he was bragging in a video about being on Tattle and detailing the thread with posted comments.

Snorts is a sleazy, deceitful snake. Fanny is a fake, deceitful, spoiled, greedy grifter. They are both hardcore narcs. She can’t get rid of him now. He knows all of her grifting secrets and lies, enjoys the vacations, attention, presents, and doing little to nothing daily. They both have run off any of Fanny’s old acquaintances who would visit and film with her. Now only relatives and transactional visitors show up at the Dump. No one wants to deal with Fanny on a daily basis unless they are on the payroll.

Snorts has shoved himself in every area of her life and the Dump. He lies as freely and as often as his darling Fanny. I think he sold lots of crap from the grift grab, sounds huge sums of money on auctions that are never shown on camera, etc. He can fake lots of things, but cannot ever fake any attraction or chemistry with his Mummy gal pal Fanny.

The gruesome twosome enable and intensify the worse attributes in each other. Unless and until Fanny has an ironclad Snorts substitute, she won’t kick him out of the Dump. Snorts will not willingly leave the Dump, and if he leaves, I expect he will demand a payout from Fanny to keep his mouth shut as well as 3 large moving vans to haul his crap back to his mother’s home.

 

[FecilitéJ]

A quiet one here with just me and hubster. Smoked salmon and bacon wrapped scalloos for a late breakfast, lamb slow cooked in garlic, red wine, fresh rosemary and cranberries, roast spuds, honey glazed carrots, brocolli and some other stuff as yet to be decided and a good ole Costco tuxedo chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Have a safe and peaceful weekend indulging in whatever festivities or self care you need. Slainté.

 

[OhIDontKnow...]

I am bah-humbugity this year. No real reason. I suspect anhedonia due to antidepressants. I did tons of decorating in my shops (because the decorations are for sale ) none at home, and my husband and I are apart as he is with his mother her first Christmas after his dad passed away (I am watching our dogs which includes a puppy). My mother passed away a little over a year ago. I will have to attend Christmas dinner with my Aunt and her husbands kids and grandkids, which I could care less about. I have to cook a couple dishes to bring to lessen the load. I could care less about the food. I’d take a cold chicken wing eaten over the sink instead of “dinner” every time. (If it meant I didn’t have to spend the day with people who aren’t really my family and are so far up their own rear ends just their feet are hanging out).

Oddly enough, I am passing my time making push-pin and pipe cleaner Christmas trees, which I also sell. Here’s a pic of a little group I just finished.

I say all this to frame the fact that I am enjoying hearing about what all the rest of you are up to because it sounds so nice and normal and festive. For those of you with tribulations, I send my sympathies and hopes that things improve quickly!

Happy Christmas to Tattlers all over the World
