Curious, what country do you live in? Many countries have outlawed the use of lead products.

Or any port in a storm
I live in SEA or the Far East to use an old english term. Historical european building techniques like lead or arsenic pipes have no history here. They are genuine questions I ask in terms of how such aged infrastructure is managed and identified in countries with aged infrastructure.

She spends a lot of time off camera practicing tricks to manipulate her appearance. Plus she has a theater background with her opera training. I've noticed that she does the heaving bosom trick of leaning forward and pressing your shoulders forward and together. Along with the right bra and perhaps some tape, it all comes together while the camera pans from above.

I was curious as I live in Canada and the use of lead pipes have been banned since 1975. Although many old buildings still have them as they are grandfathered in.

She must have others to feed off from. How can you be the center of attention if you don't have others to give you attention? She's an actor, she must have an audience.

I just checked out MPK’s Instagram stories and the text says “this one’s taking longer to edit than usual”… I cannot stop laughing .....does he mean that it will be six weeks this time?
Makes you wonder if they are being blocked from making videos around their chateau....no new videos from Billy and even Ryan is staying away

While I'm not a fan of daddy's art, I don't see what all the fuss about naked cartoon people is about. It's not porn! I think some people are being prudish and reading way too much into this.

Can you hear the clang of the begging bowls

French society still like Sir trotter haven’t gotten the video editor to move the frames faster in editing

Still no chat with SSB

But but but
If you wanna give 10-20 euros
You could listen to the latest patrons talk how they Too need funding



Dear friends,

I know many are anxious to view the recording of French Heritage Society’s chat with Stephanie Jarvis on our YouTube channel. Please note it will be uploaded before the end of the week, likely on Friday afternoon.

Additionally, I want to share an update on our next “Innovation in Action” series event with Erin & JB of Château de Bourneau, which is taking place via zoom this afternoon at 1pm ET. A recording of this discussion will also be made available on YouTube, but you may wish to join live for what will be an intimate conversation with these two “intrepid châtelains”. Registration for the live zoom is still open and free to FHS members. Non-member tickets are usually priced at $15, but as Lalande patrons we are pleased to offer you all a discounted price point of $10. To access that option, please click here.

I hope we will “see” a few of you there today!

With warmest regards,
Natalie

It's more about taking him down from the pedestal than his soft porn art.
"My daddy was a Saint!"... oh, bollocks

I think she might be able to put two and two together even without screenshots. Unless I'm missing something.
you’re probably correct. Either way, I told her that LaLande was toxic and she needed to go out and make her own way instead of “struggling” as she constantly says she’s doing with everything. Struggling to make videos, struggling to keep up with the unbearable work load , struggling with bullying, struggling with technology, struggling with her teets, struggling with her hair, struggling with clothes, I’ve never seen someone STRUGGLE SO MUCH IN MY LIFE !!!!

Not to derail the thread...the Canadian city I live in started testing the plumbing in older houses last year. After 5 years of drinking, cooking and washing, I find out that my apartment has lead pipes. I received from the city a pitcher with filters to use. The landlord is under no obligation to change the pipes and moving is not an option at this time. I am feeling a little crazy but I don't think it has to do with the lead pipes.

I give her credit for telling you off! Shows she got some guts after all. I would have done the same thing. I don't disagree with your message, but really want did you expect?

It is more likely to be a problem if the water sits in the pipe and you don't run the tap for a reasonable period before using.

It is not the nudity itself that is controversial. It is, like @lolander mentions, the fact that there is always an allusion to something sexual and perverse.
Michelangelo's David is nude, but he is not sexualised, nor does he hint at something sexual.
Derek Javis' Gardeners Frolicking has the viewer watching them pruning, a mundane task, naked from the waist down, grinning as if to imply a sexual act.
If we are talking about controversial nudes, then do remember Édouard Manet's Olympia, who was not controversial for her nudity, but for her confrontational staring at the gazer and the implication of her being a prostitute, which invites the gazer in an uncomfortable suggestion of a sexual act.

Eroticism can be fine / high art. Derek Jarvis' erotic paintings aren't.

I probably wouldn’t have minded it too much either, had I not fell down the tattle hole and analysed it’s dubious sexual theories

Very telling that the SSB/Nic/MPotts drawing were not shown... why not??? Because they’re all teats & ass

Thank you @ComtesseRose... that was much more beautifully explained, but exactly what I meant x

I don't think Gerry is Derek's son. For one thing, he would probably be taller. For another, why wouldn't Gerry have a DNA test done? Sorry, doesn't make sense to me. This reminds me of the lead/arsenic debate - where's the proof? There isn't any! Many people, men and women have hair loss for many reasons. Just can't get behind conspiracy theories.

I think the issue is not whether you like Derek's art. I think it's hideous to be honest. It's the fact that he chose to depict his daughter and his wife in lewd naked poses. Hardy a pic that doesn't have boobs or a vagina and very recognisable faces. Now his daughter is celebrating this by covering her walls with these paintings, and is converting them into tiles for her kitchen. It's not prudery, it's just sort of repellant.

I don't think anyone here is a prude, art is subjective and open to interpretation as is literature. It's more about the fact that other people are paying to have that tripe put on walls and want a piece of the Chateau by also buying copies??!! It must be like buying those souvenirs when on holiday and coming across them years later and wondering WTF did I buy that!

It also says a lot about her and Derek regarding the paintings and their depiction. Why legitimise that rubbish?

He wasn't a recognised artist as such prior to the CD vlogs. He painted a few signs.
Now if you compare to other artists who liked to paint their daughters nude such as Arthur Gill.

I am not saying Derek was like Arthur Gill in his personal tastes (that is a different argument) it does however open up uncomfortable discussions. It's been discussed before so just giving my tuppence worth. I think she is an idiot and Steve will get the wrong kind of traction with all of this. The pair of them are inadequate coat tail hangers anyway.

That's fine, we can agree to disagree. I still don't find his art erotic or pornographic. I don't get turned on by it all.

At least she thought about the poor orphans as she munched down her Easter chocolate.
I wonder where she came up with that idea
Too much time sat on her fanny reading here instead of forward planning eg. the water to the garden. Or is she incapable of thinking for herself. There is an easy way to handle Matt, make a joke and know what you are talking about, and when you don't .. admit it and ask questions instead of simply telling him your ill thought through demands.
