Is it just my imagination...(and my wishful thinking!)...but I thought that pukey pepto bismal pink tape or paint or whatever it was, was gone from around her wall trim! I was so excited to see that so I'm hoping I wasn't imagining it...

In the latest Patreon video she goes over all the projects, apologizes and says they will be updated at the first of every month from now on. Apologizes for her travels being the subject of Patreon videos. Apologizes for not being able to show projects that she can’t show because they are filmed for tv. Shows 2 projects completed for tv. Says the chapel restorer begged to stay on the project at cost even though she tried to pay for the work, and that he’s recouping from his fall. Walked all over the place showing all the work. Had jeans on, hair up because it probably looked like tit, and makeup. (Big improvement). Said she’s waiting on carpentry jobs til her cousin comes in August. Said Ian’s been working everyday on a secret project she can’t show yet. Showed the inside of the dirty bed crown has been reupholstered. Basically everything we warned her about….oh and said even if she goes off she will be back every weekend to have meals with the b$b guests. The thought of losing $30K a month straightens her right up. Let’s see if it lasts……🙄
LOL, SJ should read carefully here, we complain faster than the superfans. No one would have bat an eye if she would have taken a week holiday. But she went on castle visits throughout June. What was she thinking? She could get away with it while people are throwing money at her each month accumalating to 30k?
SJ,
what you earn in a month is double the average annual salary of local people. Please stop being a little b*tch, make a list of projects which are ongoing, ask Ian and Selmar to provide you the list of materials needed, order them. Don't come with excuses that it is hard to get materials at the moment. You have already used it too many times.
Make another list with deadlines for Selmar and Ian for when projects should be finished and stay on top of them. Life isn't a fairytale not even for the superrich. Take pride in what you do and excel in it.
P.s. ask all the cadeau watchers to stop sending gifts and when you have drained that immense pile of gifts, stop that channel. That channel doesnt add to your brand. Instead use that day to make cussions/coverers/curtains with what you have been sent.

Well..... looks like she has had a rocket up her!!!
To wave goodbye to all that money ..... lol

I wouldn’t count on it. From when she was a little girl, Gerry was trained to be her personal butler, doing exactly what she needs him to do: keeping Mummy at arm‘s length. From what you see in the early vlogs it might appear IJ is effective and hard working, but you should never let their smoke and mirrors cloud your judgement. It’s not just SJ’s desire to play and do fun stuff, her family is at the base of how she came to believe she’s entitled to it all.
Oh that is interesting .... did not know much about Gerry's personality.
Gerry - sort of like a bodyguard ?

Yes, sort of. I'm sure it started innocent when he was asked to babysit her when they were infants. He took that "job" a little, no, a lot too far though and is pretending time has not elapsed and she is still in constant need of his protection. By now, with her more than plentiful income, he's also protecting the money-cow of the family.

I think MP may want out of this circus. SJ is so much like her mother. A Jekyll and Hyde personality.
I think you are right. The solemn face was not directed at Selmar. There seemed to be some tension going on between SJ and MP. Selmar saying "you are making me emotional", may mean he knows what is going on too.

I agree and think that pots and sj by the fire was something coming down the pipe. I am wondering if now that she can take care of herself, and she is directing the way that lalonde is, that he wants his share of the place and cut and run. This is not the restful spot to come eat and party and escaping anymore. It is becoming a place directed, for better or worse, by patreon money and their demands. SJ doesn't seem the type to take direction from people but she promised them tit and they want delivery. With 1k in funding draining away, it could get worse At the end of july if she isnt careful.


edit: I wonder if Dan's drone shots would give a timeline for Selmars fire...! must check now. so far nothing...

Second of the eight: Twenty minutes from Lalande, the 13th c Chateau de Sarzay was bought in 1982 by an EDF agent Richard Hurbain and his nurse wife for 790K francs (ca US$121K).
He and his wife have single-handedly and without subsidy restored it themselves. Their website features thumbnails of numerous local and regional newspaper and magazine articles about their long and arduous renovation. One headline calls him the Don Quixote of Sarzay.
Sarzay is a medieval fortress with pepper pot towers and a moat, pretty grotty.
The video features aerial views, and dusty furnished interiors -- can't tell if it's the way they found it, or how they have furnished it. I like the roughness of it, it doesn't look as dirty as the DIY gilt pasted up all over Lalande.
An outpost facing the English frontier in the 100 years war, Sarzay is the backdrop Castle Blanchemont in George Sand's 1845 "arch socialist" novel, The Miller of Angibault.
You can stay, for €70 a night, in an unpretentiously restored timber and lime render bedroom.
No hint Jarvis has heard of it or would ever be invited for dinner.
Life of Ryan made a vlog about this castle and the couple.
It's one of his first vlogs, when he was still acting normal.
He went to Lalande with his dear friend MPK and Isabelle J. told him about this neighbour castle. She knows it and told him it was worth a visit.

Plus :

Stop being filmed for Channel 4 programs doing works at the chateau with your Patreons money who can't even see it. You don't need a TV program with 30+K per month !

I've just discovered this site. Is it new ?
That vlog, on the above site, which she made with IJ about reaching the $20,000 target was made in August, 2020, but nearly all the projects she mentioned, which were supposed to be finished in the autumn of 2020, have still not been completed nearly a year later. Vloggers in general seem to forget that there is permanent evidence of what they have said/promised in the past! Even in that vlog, they were making excuses about other things not being finished because of lack of materials and everything shutting down in France in July and August; surely if they know that is always the case, it should be incorporated into any schedules rather than stating that things will be completed by a certain date.

She goes on and on about how she loves vlogging, travelling and talking about art and culture and she was preparing the Fortuny vlog at the time. IJ tells her she is doing too much!!

From the age of 12 !

A bit sad actually.
Yes... that is sad as he was just a child at 12 ..... it was her horror Mothers job!

Wishful thinking, I suspect. Potty only just bought his share, after playing second fiddle to the not so elusive N for fifteen years. He is not going to let go of his little slice of the now (in)famous pie that easy. If anyone wants out, my bet would be the not so elusive N, plagued by morals that don't fit her reality anymore. If he wants out, that is not only going to cost SJ, but Potty too.

Wouldn't most adults know that the last thing you should do if you want to catch poultry is to run after them, he couldn't manage it with a dog, so how did he think he could catch a cockerel?!

From Nutti's instagram stories. I bet Dana had stories.
Nutti's misplaced word order makes it very amusing!!

If I was one of her patrons (I know it's a stretch) and I wasn't already enraged by her greed and inability to deliver, this would make me boil over. The only reason she is still in that show is her morbid need for exposure. We all know that filming renovations make them last double as long, at least. I can only imagine Ian's frustration of not achieving anything on those days when the channel four crew is around. He still has to be paid though and she's using patreon's money to do that. So these patrons are actually paying for a slow down in the renovations, already uncomfortably slow to begin with, of which they are not allowed to view anything before it's aired on tv. It's about time these patrons start behaving like the true shareholders they legally are.

If SJ lost $1,000 so quickly there had to have been one or two top tier Patrons who quit and one must wonder if they reported her to Patreon for violating their Community Guidelines. Her calling out the Patrons who wanted to know where the renovations were and trying to backpedal that it wasn’t a renovation Patreon scheme could have gotten her into a lot of trouble hence clipping her wings and now the apology tour.
