Completely my point. Whether he's gay, bisexual or simply likes to stroke woodland animals for his relief is irrelevant. For all we know SJ likes the excitement a strap on can give him or just wants to explore the beast in herself. I don't care. I do care about the discrepancy of what they are selling online and how the narrative is sold in real life. Everyone around her has been informed they are in a relationship, so why hide that (no matter if it's true or not) from the masses?
The super fans are so dismissive of her having a relationship with BJJ but where all over her and Teabag being an item. Poor BJJ 😬

What’s PB? The name on top of the screen shot? All I did was simple internet searching when MP aired this vlog and pointed to the connection to the Lesaffre family. He posted this family tree on this website… PB that is.
Thanks for clarifying ;-)

We just got our renewed passports back and I must say mine looks rather horrid as well. Definitely not one of my best, so I can totally relate! Sad thing is I have to have it for another 10 years!
We've just done our French residency cards, I look like I haven't slept for months and my husband looks like an angry man. Just waiting on how awful my new passport looks.

Cramps would not cut the mustard...however I probably will get cramps and vomit all over the dinner guests if I go. The host & hostess are celebrating 20 years of marriage and the host keeps talking about "their love" etc. He is not gay, though acts almost camp and is so unbearable. He has his wedding photo in his wallet. He is such a dick! He is NOT my friend, but the wife is friends with my wife. I hate them! Seriously, if I have to celebrate my anniversary, I go for dinner alone with my wife and flirt and have sex in unexpected places, I don't cook dinner for lots of people and blabber about "our love"! I would happily buy hundreds of dislikes for the pair of them. My wife says I owe her, which is true. She does a lot of work dinners for me. I guess I can just start drinking before we go and sit there in a drunken haze and smile and say appropriate platitudes. This is the downside of marriage. Well one of them.
I agree with your sentiments about celebrating your anniversary. This should be for the couple only as you say, so curious that they choose to have a dinner party with other people. Perhaps they're not quite as in love as they make out?
I recommend you stay reasonably sober (I hope this post isn't too late), sit back at that table and keep an eye on them for signs of any BS on their part. I find people that sprout off about how happy they are, how wonderful they think they're patners are etc etc, are usually feeling the total reverse, wether they know it or not. And you do owe Mrs H that too - work dinners are the most boring on God's earth. Everyone is arse licking everyone else. A bit like at LL. Good luck @Heathcliffe !

there is also a change in Fan Flash behaviour...at first she wanted patreons because she wanted to restore the dump....then she started to talk about renovations....and now she mentions she thanks the patreons for sending her money because she makes videos....she slowly changes her goals...untill most patreons dont even know why they started to fund that crazy grifter...and then she sells the dump ....she clearly is so jealous of other chateauxowners who have a more chateauxlike place...with a grand staircase...panelling and all sorts of decoration...she clearly wants a nineteen century chateau..or a palace in Venice...she doesnt see herself living in the middle of nowhere when she is getting old.....when she knows her following is following her on another route...she gets rid of that farmhouse...no doubt about that..In the beginning she had her ex boyfriends on the leash with her stories...they could pay for her lifestyle...and now she has her patreons....no sign of her ex boyfriends of friends..this summer....If she was so fond of the crap place she would stay at home and renovate as soon as possible...but no...she escapes as fast and as much as she can....thats very telling to me..
Exactly, for most of its denizens and visitors it's Escape FROM the Chateau. Especially our heroine.

Yet that farmhouse in the middle of nowhere could be a gorgeous and comfortable home if decorated in a simple, graceful upscale country style with all mod cons (think Dan's kitchen) without all the frou-frou, bling and pretentiousness (all festooned with Daddy's horrid daubings).

And, if the owners actually became part of the local community instead of using the place as a pitstop on their international travels.

It's a strange retirement life for IJ and Percy, isn't it? No doubt IJ is happy about the money SJ is acquiring but, yes, she can no longer control her and must realise what a farce it all is and how SJ lives in fantasy world, exposing herself to a great deal of negative criticism. IJ can't be happy with that. Now, she and Percy, have to watch every single vlog, see how little is being achieved at LL, and sit in on the chat just so they can respond appropriately and also try and shoot down some of the critics. They have money and property and live in a place with a good climate, with servants at their beck and call and could have a peaceful, relaxing time, but really SJ has made them prisoners in their own home in order to support and defend her. Of course, their lives are restricted by Covid but, at their age, they must find the whole LL chaos quite stressful. I wonder if PA knew what he was getting into when he married IJ and acquired a loony stepdaughter. They haven't helped themselves by introducing strange characters like Villiotti and Curtis into the chateau fiasco.


Maybe, instead of being in the customers' room, they will offer her a job at Christie's, then she can move to New York and earn her own money without relying on patrons! That probably wouldn't be good enough for her, she'd prefer to be a rich buyer.
Pretty sure both Jill and Chris awake and at work by the time SJ is eating whatever pastry Ian has brought her. So if she stayed on Central European Time she just might make it in the office on time! Her hair would of course still be greasy.

who is gonna stay sobre to drive them home...you also have to get your hired costumes back the other day.
I wouldn't be surprised that the rental contracts have been made more flexible due to the economic situation, the business volume having dropped very significantly. If Flower Power Girl is going to Versailles tomorrow with her 'Batt' costume 👗 and then onto Lalande, she won't be back in England for some time.

"Phillip, Stephanie is so blessed to have you" - 🤮



It appears Biffy is getting pissed off being asked about Michael, and his replies are getting terser. Oh dear how sad...
One of these days he is going to throw his family under the bus. Sad.

Interesting, although if they're independently wealthy why make vlogs and scrounge money through GoFundMe and Patreon?
We never really know...why did they need a bankloan?? and btw you never know...maybe her father , grandfather of greatgrandfather sold their shares.. it would explain her inhertitancemoney..but when you made a fortune of it in the twenties or even the sixties, inflation and taxes has eaten most of it away...if not invested well...its all speculation that she is very rich...i think its hardly possible when she is superrich she would meet Billy..Money mostly marries money...

Gosh! How much did she inherent??
She should not ever have told him her real surname when she met him… If she did. If she did tell him her real surname, how was she to know whether or not he did research to find out if he had hit the goldmine. I think her comment in that one vlog was completely out of bounds but on the other side… I cannot imagine the loss she must feel losing both her mother and father at such a young age. I can see that she would want to have family around her, even though I have heard her speak of her sister. However, the family she ended up with are horrid grifters (some of them or most). I will not include her father-in-law in the mix. He is the only one that has any redeeming qualities imho.

It’s been a whirlwind of creating stunningly beautiful vignettes with our Collector sale with the mega talented Stephanie Jarvis, specialist interviews and peek-a-boo toile. I am obsessed with this Pierre Frey wallpaper. Pictures don’t do it justice- I could stare at it for hours. This might be my favorite vignette🏯💙🏯
Stunningly uglissimo, all those styles stuffed into 4 square meters. Enough to give anyone a headache. 🤢

Peek-a-boo : would that be how Nutkins 🐿🌰 has been introduced to Christie's?
