Take note, grifters and self promoters will be called out.

I want to watch Petherick’s paid escort show SJ’s paid escort how to shave and style facial hair.
Okay. The morning brings an inspiration, based on @Patriciarella's genius scenario of Andrew teaching PJ all the rentboy beauty sekrits.
Slash on Andrew's salsa lesson for PJ. It's not my genre, but for many vanilla het women, good gay porn is the only kind that works. (Handsome men enjoy themselves, as opposed to het porn, where well-endowed hideous men....never mind.)
Andrew, in his jeans shorts and polo shirt, and Capezio strappy sandal dancing shoes, places his guiding hand firmly on PJ's espalda baja, colorfully encased in an unbuttoned shirt over a pair of SJ's capris. The electronic rave salsa music pours forth from Andrew's phone. Philip flips his hair extensions, sending a pouf of Toppik microfiber henna hairspray Andrew's way. Andrew politely ptuis the little hairs out of his mouth. They join dancing hands. Their eyes meet....


There could be rentboy Olympic events, like who can shake a cocktail hotter? Who can give the boyfriend experience by garnishing food most professionally? How do you get hair dye stains out of Frette bed sheets?

I think S.J. forgot the Chicken Fillets in her short Pool shoot.
I thought for her age she looked pretty good....but she is very short waisted so her waistline is almost nonexistent and is why she looks bad in belted dresses....and why she wears big loose moomoos that are short to show off her best feature...her legs. IMO of course

Teabag and his prostitute cooked the chicken fillets at their barbecue!

I suspect Michael didn’t heart this…Ma Petherick did

I second both of these comments

I was thinking of exactly the same thing yesterday as I’m a massive Bloomsbury set fan and wonder if Fanny thinks of her setup as the same as Charleston Farmhouse. The big difference being that those folks were all either fiercely intellectual or extremely creatively talented . Not really the same as her crew. Not sure her chateau will still have 100s of visitors over a century later either.

As with everything else in his life (except for begging, boys and brecantes), it's probably down to laziness and everyone enabling him not to try

I apologize in advance. Instagram #'s from yesterday... You can't make this stuff up.

Oof! It was a little early for me to see this assault on the eyes. Glad to see Steph drawing in the best of what America has to offer, well I’m assuming he’s American. Being American, they’re pretty easy to recognize. Now excuse me while I wash my eyes out with bleach…

Those figures are just targets for the Patreon ‘when we get this much, we’ll do this..’ They’re not meant to represent the actual cost of those things.
So she keeps the other $14,000 the loo didn't cost? Is it somehow meant to make them give way over the top of their patreon pledges? Don't they ask what happened to the rest of the money or what these items actually cost? Does she publish accounts for them? Am I being thick?
Be kind

It makes sense. Claim something is $14,000 when it’s actually $4000 and pocket what wasn’t used. This makes even more sense when she claims the Patreon money is only used on reno, bit of a workaround. She may be dumb, but she’s not stupid. I can’t imagine she gives accurate totals of what work is amounting to.

Not to mention, she can throw out any over inflated number on a project because we never actually see her talking numbers with contractors, unless it’s with Davy or something, I don’t know if I‘ve ever seen actual budget talk on her channel unless it’s a Patreon thing I’m missing.

If a contractor gives you a quote and comes in under budget, the remainder is their profit. Same thing in this situation.

That's part of the whole thrift shopping delusion: I will do this project with this. I remember following a well respected craft blogger whose early days were spent mainlining thrift shop baby clothes and what have you. She went every day, and spent $2 and brought home mountains of shit, only 1% of which she upcycled into quilts, tea sandwich caddies, children's clothes, etc. But the excuse for the addiction is you have a plan for each POS.

From my understanding of the patreon money and how she explained it in videos was if a target say for €10,000 was made, then a target for €12,000 was attributed to new doors or whatever, it is the €2000 difference that would be used to pay for the doors. Not doors that cost €12,000 over and above the original ten grand target. So if she reached an extra two grand coming in she could purchase her target with that. I don't know if I've explained that very well or if what I've taken from the patreon explanation is accurate but that was what I understood it to be...

In Stephanese, it makes perfect sense. In English, it sounds more convoluted.

He is careful to say he was "in a relationship" with Gustavo, Inigo (?) and Andrew. That is the scam. It means I'm not using Patreon funds on prostitutes.

This is off topic but I found it interesting. This channel (Elysia Engish) has the same number of subscribers that SJ does 148k, SJ has more views on her videos (at least the few I glanced out). Elysia mentions making around $12k a month (what she actually says is google took out $4k in taxes and that is approx 1/3 of the total). That just blows my mind that a fairly small youtube channel makes that much money every month.

Sorry I'm 42 weeks pregnant in 28°C heat ...At least I know what I was trying to say. My baby brain to finger neurons won't compute

Looking at a list someone posted of recent patreon targets I also realised that about 70% of the targets were in no way renovations to aid in preserving the actual chateau building. They could either be classed as a decorative, unnecessary extravagances or desired items that would make Steph's personal surroundings more luxurious. Just barefaced greed. Which made my decision to stop contributing all the more warranted
