I wonder where he is too!!!!! He seemed like a nice guy. He was living his own life.
Mason is too clever to get sucked in, even though he would love to be the man in her life. He is a smart man, and would probably be much better off with a woman that loves him for him not for what he owns.

But there is a pattern here, it's the same for all the men in her life, they are all friend-zoned with heart strings for SJ. It's how she wants to keep it.

She'll get a tv deal before she gets another marriage proposal.
Tv is no joke, she doesnt want to work, told what to do or about budgets, she wants to be real housewife and invited to parties every other day...
SJ strikes me as the kind of person that could not resist the chance to become a TV celebrity. The psychologists amongst us may think otherwise, but I think she would jump at the chance to become more well known and court more adulation. I sense that she is becoming rather bored with the vlogging, in the same way that I think she becomes bored with everything and everyone after a while - wanting more and more 'stuff', and more and more new people to manipulate in her life.. Covid has restrained her ambitions, but I think that once it is over we will not see her around Lalande very much.

Surely in lock down like the rest of us. Borders mainly only restriction free within Europe so that’s why the Potts can come for Christmas.
once all this nightmare is over (please please), then we will find put who is truly going to stay there. For the moment, it seems to me that those that are there are happy to have the Oxford/student/party every night, life.

LOTL for me is an amalgam of Patsy and Edina in a more attractive form. "It's Fortuny, Ungaro, made in Naples, ad nauseum". I watched last years advent videos and enjoyed them much more. Less time intensive beauty filtering and more organic content. I love beautiful well made things material and digital. Those were beautifully done last year

Cat, solo requested if you please. I am not classically trained, have been to opera and have 2 ears plugged on each side of my Amurican head and think you have a lovely voice that won't make my sinuses ( sine, sinus, since, sinuses?) bleed. Also a soprano and avoid singing real voice.

So which is the official fb page of Lalande now?

Absolutely brilliant observation. So true.

Why, that would be the one with OFFICIAL in its moniker, run by the eccentric Canadian Karen ‘cbomb’. But the hapless Brenda (Dear Brenda) is our OFFICIAL favourite superfan here!

I can't see Stephanie going on tv. She gets to call the shots on her own vlog, let's not forget all of that patreon money that rolls in monthly. That would dry up fast if she turned to tv. And tv requires long hours and a lot of work, I don't think she's up for all of that work.

But she started on TV, remember - she did Escape to the Chateau DIY for a number of seasons! I am with you though in so far as that she probably doesn't need that type of exposure (and work hours) anymore given her easy success on Youtube. That's why few Youtubers ever go on mainstream TV, I suspect they get tons of offers but make so much more money through their own content, with more freedom to create whatever they want, whenever they want. TV is so much more restrictive - you can't sneak in hidden ads, can't get that sweet affiliate money (Stephanie, get on that - does Spode have an affiliate program? Or that champagne you always advertise?), and no Patreon for a TV show.

Oh Lordy Lordy. Dear Brenda is surely going to try to take credit ( and have great craic) about this “achievement”. YOU’RE all stars (One Thousand Stars TM). Will this supercharge our slightly flawed chatelaine to plumb the rabbit hole depths even more?

I noticed that too, she's got the message ! At least dont look gready, even if you are

Did I hear correctly that Brenda made those absolutely appalling jumpers? I was actually quite worried that SJ was going to set fire to herself leaning over a candle in yellow acrylic. They can only have been wearing them because they are beyond dreadful

I panicked about the sleeve and candle too! I thought the jumpers were a present from a fan... I hope so! Still absolutely hideous though. Philip’s one was the most bearable. Appalling woolwork!
