The Chateau Diaries #48 No longer Doing It himself. Just doing everyone else

[Maple fairy]

No drawstring but I think I have located SJ and BJJ.

Is that Hanni modelling these gems? They do look snugly though!

As @Dippy Hippy suggested back in the mists of time, Cara is a good ole girl who will add some much needed energy, wacky or not, to Lalande. Let her spin her wool -- I am very interested in this -- and ricochet around the place. She's red-blooded and well meaning and hell bent on having a good time. Perhaps not BCBG but neither are the Lalanders, no matter what they tell themselves.
I'm wagering SJ treats her like she treated Ma Petherick -- without cause, just because Cara is fat. I hope I don't have to see any of the tragic photos like those taken when Brenda Gibbons, decades and stones out of place, visited and was photographed like The Aged Parent totally out of it, isolated on a couch somewhere in a corner of the grand salon while the Lalanders danced in their onesies.
A lot of her energy is preemptive, I think. Alexander Pope was four and a half feet tall and hunchbacked. He said it took him about 20 minutes to make people forget it.

If she is in fact a born and bred Newfoundlander she will be able to take the “piss” as is mentioned on here. They have been the brunt of many “Newfie” jokes but they have turned the tables with their unparalleled wit. Since she is a performer I suspect she has it in spades.
as you have described her she certainly does not fit SJ aesthetics. I suspect she could run circles around the Laplanders!

@KiKiGee I can’t unsee those pics! Stuff of nightmares! I will see those images when I close my eyes however it might wipe out some of the images of MPK and his friends

BTW, in your honor, I am now the proud owner of The Acadian Kitchen by Alain Bossé with a fascinating recipe for ployes. And many other interesting and hearty things like blood pudding. What I think of as clean food -- granny cooking, and it's all in the cooking and the flavor of the vegetables and meat. Nice, thank you.

Oh good to hear I hope you enjoy! You can also find great Acadian recipes online. In respect to Acadian dishes they differ regionally. Yes boudin blood pudding similar to the one in Louisiana. My father loved it and I ate it as a child until I realized what it was. Love the smell of it cooking though!

And now for something completely different!
The latest from DB:
"Let us all get together & wish Michael Potts a wonderful birthday......have a great day filled with love fun & happiness we hope you have many many more birthdays to celebrate. From everyone @ Escape to Chateau de Lalande xx"

I do hope she ran the montage with Cake past him!

That's so creepy. She's a gollum.

Andrew quoted me €120 per hour or €250 for the double act. This was when they were in Barcelona and now in Paris Danny quoted €130. They seem to be "affordable" because a lot of the gay escorts list €150 per hour. If you have the body of a fitness model, you seem to be able to ask €200. Porn stars might get away with asking even more. Andrew and Danny are handsome but in the gay escort world they are pretty average. They're not body builders and, despite what their profile says, the most important thing is not huge, maybe above average, but not huge. I can tell because I've seen Danny's masturbation video.

I was talking to Danny just now and he told me he charged €150/h I don't know how I should take it lmao. He is in Barcelona for two weeks, I wonder if Andrew is joining him

 

[Seeingitasitis]

I did wonder if the joke Dan made about Philip having his photo on the bedroom wall, was perhaps a signal to Tattlers to answer someone's question about SJ and BJJ's relationship, a subtle hint maybe that BJJ is gay!

Someone a thread or two back asked Dan to put a specific sign in his vlog if SJ and P were an item - that sign was actually in last nights vlog, could just be a coincidence though.

This is ridiculous. Dan is now giving mixed messages. However, I am still going with they are an item. I just think he is a Laurence Llewellen Bowen type - totally hetro - self styled interiors person - who many people assume is gay and is not. Maybe Philly is a cross dresser. Maybe he is just in touch with his feminine side. I also know two men whose mannerisms mean they are sometimes mistakenly thought to be gay and they are not - it does not bother them. They are secure in their sexuality and do not care what anyone thinks. I hope Dan isn't playing us Tattlers. He has quite a fan club on here.

Could you not have asked about Andrew availability? It would give us some clues at least.

I've watched it twice and saw no sign of a pacifier on the van. Am I missing something?

He has probably come to realise what the standard rates in Europe are. I did some digging and you can hire a gay escort in Colombia for about 25 to 45€/h and the listed price at a high end escort agency was USD100. These boys are making bank on their European tour, and from Teabeg who seems to love to play papa-gâteau.

Wow that is very low! Good for them if they charge more now

why does "working the wool" sound like some sort of innuendo??

A wool G string comes to mind. Please don't call her Flossie, I will never get the image out of my head...

Have just watched Marie's vlog from last night. I think she should learn how to pronounce Hampshire if she's going to stay there. She wants to find her own place where there is room for workshops, etc. I wonder how she intends to finance that plus all the overheads; need we really ask that? I wonder also when she will register her company. As "Success Stories" is now "her passion", I wonder just how much she will do with the flower side of her business. I can't really see how she is doing "visual storytelling". First, the only visual bit is that there is a camera but to me "visual storytelling" suggests something very different from one person sitting in a chair interviewing another person sitting in a chair and it's hardly a story either. All very unclear and what is the link between the floral part and the "Success Stories" part? Again, it's a bit premature for SJ to interview her as a "success" as she hasn't really done anything much yet and we have yet to see how the "florals" take off. She thinks the handful of interviews so far has been a great success because of the feedback comments. She has just fed off her chateaux contacts and CD fans. She has put very little work or effort into anything at all yet. What happens when she runs out of chateau-related people to interview? I think she needs to learn some more discourse markers, rather than constantly repeating "So, yeah", "Wow" and "ha, ha, ha". I agree that the brand printing will not look good on the car as that blue looks quite dark. She also needs to get rid of the nervous scratching behind her ear, it does not look professional!

She posted about registering her business in the UK last year which is why I keep saying that she's dodging French taxes.
Anyway, great criticism @Espe but watch out or FRK will bill you for giving her professional advice.

Just reading this profile of a grifter who uses social media like a genius. The one difference between him and MW is that he delivers actual content which checks out. With receipts. And plenty of aggressive professional pushback, not just silo suckup commentariat. He's not grifting on content. She is.

The Curious Rise of Twitter Power Broker Yashar Ali

In just a few years, he's become one of the most fearsome media figures in the country—mobilizing his vast Twitter following to promote his famous friends and punish foes. Can his own past survive similar scrutiny?

4 mins in, probably a coincidence though.

Wonder if the chapel restorer realises how the chapel has sometimes been used!!

If so he would run far away! He actually cares! He was speaking about how he purchased a iron chandelier 19 century and other things that would fit into the Chapel Franny seemed nervous about he’s ideas lol! We know she likes to mix 20 different time periods.

She's not the only one ...

Whoaaaaa I took a tattle break (because I have a paaarfect idea and needed to work it out). Tattle exploded. MP stealing the show from SJ!!!

And I have watched MP's vid's. I got waaaay to curious about Andrew. God that was a boring watch! He made salad & cleared the hallway. I guess he needs another 7 weeks in Madrid now. I wished I had watched the deleted video. Seems that one was the most exciting one!
As for Andrew and his hourly rate. I'm not sure how I feel about prying into his business. I feel incredibly sad that these boys are selling their bodies possibly for a better life.

I also watched SJ, in 2 weeks the chapel restorer will start project chapel. I think this guy will outsmart SJ, because he has a chandelier and paneling in the chapels style.

While SJ was shouting from her balcony to the terrace I was thinking about the rotten window frames and I googled wooden double glazed windows. It's about £1300. She has 100 windows! Thats £130.000 for replacing the windows alone! But than again what is 130k for SJ? Get 10 windows done each month and you are done in 10 months and patreons would be over the moon when each shipments gets delivered.
But hey, let's focus on the garden, thay will keep us warm in the winter...right SJ?

 

[Ginginger]

Assuming will have more irreverent photo shoots in the chapel! This photo taken from her Instagram

You have shown me her “sexy snags” (learnt of these from a video previously posted here)… thanks, thanks a lot.

 

[purejuice]

4 mins in, probably a coincidence though.

There's no pic of TP I've ever seen that doesn't include the pacifier. They're selling TP face masks that feature the pacifier, installed. And the deal was, pacifier lying on the van or car somewhere, not attached to baby boy who happens to be in the car.
I have to add, as tempting as it is to implicate Dan in self-gratification for us which could lose him his job, I think we need to cut this out.

I completely agree! I guess I’ve been visually prepared for “sexy snags” thanks to Tattle, so bring them on! I hope she gets what she wants out of the HMN.

I think that auto correct is playing tricks on me, lately I have caught it changing words and some sentences into gibberish. Usually I catch most but I did not write Laplanders I was dismayed but maybe it was an appropriate word change!
