Just catching up . Thanks to @MojoDublin for setting up the new thread again and to all the usual contributors for the artwork, glossary, etc. Thanks too for the Title votes.
The Chateau hangers on seem to use a mention here like a badge of honour. I have news for you, it's not! Just ask Ryan, it certainly hasn't worked for him.
I notice that Sarah is happy to dine out on the criticism of her historically adequate (I think you are flattering yourself there, Sarah) dressing up outfit but is not quite so keen to address their need to travel during the pandemic. She also fails to mention that Steve's filming is pretty inadequate too.
They are not exactly a charismatic couple - I suspect they will struggle to gain much of an audience other than the old biddies who patronise SJ and Mikey Pathetique.
I don't see this couple as making it on YT. Way too boring. If you're not good looking and photogenic, then you had better have an outstanding personality, which is not evident at this point. If they think they can just ride SJs coattails, they should take a look at what happened to another upstart, Tomaz, when he tried to launch his own YT channel and Patreon account - sad demise there! Hint, hint Selmar and Marie.

Not having a whit of artistic ability is a fitting description. If she possess no artistic abilities, why on the good green Earth would she want to start a business in historical reproduction. Not even Bernadette Banner does garments on demand. She does them for herself, as cost for natural fiber fabrics are very expensive. That, and the intensive labour of hand stitching for historical adequacy.
And btw is there a large market for?? who will buy all those expensive costumes....

Wow Sarah - you though Tattlers were unkind to you. Your comments ( I guess they were about Steve and Sarah) were uncalled for. :LOL:

I think you're absolutely right. They will probably have a bit more traction once Steve puts the disgusting tiles on the kitchen wall.

As for the outfit, I could have done better with a bin bag and some masking tape! Still, If she wants to hang onto her handmade bias coat tails, she will need thicker skin than she already has.

Thanks @MojoDublin for organising the new thread. It seems to be moving quickly these days. I noticed a few flying monkeys on the last one.

Also interesting is the debacle on fb and the fascist fan club hatred of D&A. It will be interesting to see what becomes of that.

Talking of Trotter Vlogs- No show from DIO, no Petherick one, just flogging Sadie and Ma in the garden,not noticed if manic Ryan is still around. Her indoors sullied my youtube algorithm by watching Sadie! Although she did say that the intro was boring and long and she reckons a couple of chickens are missing. She wasn't very flattering about the camera angles and size of backsides.

I enjoyed the Honfleur one. The joiner is a hilarious and some good tips (just in time for me as about to tackle a bathroom reno)

-So nice that Nic, Marie and Antoine made it after all-

Virgin poster. Found this site after getting gang banged in YT comments.

Weak Marie needs to extricate her son from this freak show. He is slowly being corrupted. SJ is making bank, and will clearly continue to make millions. Time to give ole Nic an ultimatum. Steph buys him out and they move on. If he refuses, well, she knows her place in the hierarchy. Either way: Control your life Marie, stop indulging Nic, protect your son, grow a pair and stay away from this perverse environment.

Oh, and Please Stop cooking for SJ, Stop providing nibbles and drinks. Stop being her witch.
Welcome Sammy - have noticed you quietly catching up on the threads.

I was going for a screen cap of Sara with her dark glasses and blood-red lipstick when she and Steve were speaking directly to the camera together in the field at the back of the shiteau, telling us about themselves and their plans, but I couldn’t find it—was this in the deleted CD vlog after Easter? I’m curious why that video was deleted. I did see an exchange on Sara’s Instagram where she tries to defend her decision to be in France, but her reply doesn’t make sense.
I think the vlog you are looking for was posted on youtube by "Manor and Maker", which is Steve and Sara's 'company' name. It has since been removed (but managed to attract 51 subscribers on the back of SJ no doubt), but here is a link to their fledglingwebsite:

Ah ha! After visiting her IG account, I see where she went very wrong on her 'historical' costume, she used a commercial pattern by Simplicity! Number one offense - never, ever use anything other than an accurate historical costume pattern made by specialists. This just shows how ignorant she is about the whole process. Step one: read how to make historical costumes from bonafide sources of which there are many. Poor Bernadette Banner being mentioned in relation to this disaster.

I agree a small derail off the thread in relation to this:

We once visited the Stratford Shakespeare historical sites. The farm had people dressed in authentic period costumes all made by hand. I only found out after we had asked where they got them from and they said they immersed themselves in weekend retreats at the farm and dyed and made garments. They showed us examples of their stitching as well. Above and beyond really.

—-One thing I’ll say for SJ, she has taken the whole Tatler thing on the chin pretty much and gets on with it regardless. She’s obviously got a much thicker skin than poor old MPK.—-

But does she really have a rhino hide? She’s been recently hospitalized, again, or so we have been told. Perhaps she is spinning out of control with all her new obligations. She wants to party, drink, travel, dress up and play stupid childish games with her uni crowd.
She is now stuck attempting to appease her patrons with all these I’ll conceived renovations. She is also surrounded by and clings to, a myriad of losers because otherwise she would be all alone in that tit hole. The other two have lives outside of this dump, even that mother of hers has one. Doubtful that Izzy will ever be back. She is done.

SJ is a pretty decent actress, which will help her in the years to come. She is aging fast, will never grow up, so hopefully she is funneling $ to various accounts. Eventually she will be all alone, because even the most pitiful of the losers will at some point move on
from this unhealthy atmosphere.

MPK is weak as f-kk. He will never succeed. Loser personified.

If only they were flogging Sadie and Ma in the garden, I might manage to watch that episode! I can't watch Ryan - he's better suited to Children's (Toddler) TV. My 3 yr granddaughter might watch him, her more discerning 9 yr old sister certainly would not.
As fairly recent You Tubers, Dan and the Fleuries have certainly made their mark and overtaken the competition. Anna is classy and gets on with her work, Phillip has a natural wit and I agree that he and Benoit are very entertaining. Full marks for Dan, who with extremely debilitating man flu, still managed to get a video out.

Found this as well. Gee wasn’t the pandemic in full swing in October? Weren’t they there at Christmas too, not sure because it’s become a blur. Maybe they never left😌 Note the red lipstick.
Pretty sure Channel 4 (uk) also do a niche programming for couples who like to dress up ...perhaps they can get some traction off those programmes 😇🤔

Had a look at Fergus, Ontario. It’s a lovely town! The setting is beautiful. Close to Toronto. Wondered why they couldn’t pursue their dreams there. I guess maybe caught up in the “romance” of owning a chateau and figuring you may be able to get others to pay for it.

I haven't watched Dan yet, will watch later.

Oh dear! This really makes me feel a bit ill. Just the title is enough to put me off. I can just imagine the 'workshops' etc. Learn floristry with Marie, woodworking with Selmar, historic costuming with Sarah, how to be a successful YTer with Stephanie, how to create charming vignettes on your dresser with Philip, and so much more! Live, love and laugh amongst our crumbling walls and backed up toilets. A daily buffet of leftovers will be provided for an additional charge. Costumes required for dinner.

I did watch it ... was full of BS - they spent their time justifying why they were here .... and it didn’t wash 🧼 during a pandemic 😷
Sarah affirmed he had french lineage he corrected said British ....

Then the fiasco of jumping boarders - if your requirements are to gain access threw uK 🇬🇧 then you need to wait in that territory.... not the one your trying to get to....

So my guess is advice was given Get the info down - lay real low ... and pray

Am concerned for the other intrepid Canadian s who teach in the USA 🇺🇸 who are now mid flight ✈ hoping to land in France 🇫🇷 (Paris) and attempt to plead their case

If not they intend to fly to Poland - and drive back to France 🇫🇷

Have they no clue that breaking boarders when your not allowed 🚫 in at the first one ☝ ... will get u thrown out .

The mind boggles
