The Chateau Diaries #82 The Tale of Philip, the châteausexual Hedgehog

Exactly, I was an avid supporter until this. I now see her in a new light as well. I now think of her as someone who is quite deceitful whilst pretending to be honest and forthcoming. Also, I still feel it is all a little seedy, maybe that is the 'prude' in me but she has been sleeping with her much younger volunteer for over a year - she claimed she is being judged as a woman but I think if this was a male chateau owner and a young female volunteer, I would feel the same...or maybe it is because she is happy to model her new vintage bra, record herself in the bath but she hid a relationship for so long, the boundaries are a little blurred.

Marie has just cancelled the Christmas Hygge event due to lack of ticket sales. Haworth is rather out of the way and the price was much too high for locals. (II asked the family there what they thought?). She's going ahead with the one at Cobbles and Clay.
Just lower your prices Marie, this is Northern England not the more affluent South! Try Harrogate, Ilkley or York, they are wealthier.
This is Marie's new studio. The murder cave.

Not sure how to move it on, well I have no idea what to do! Hopefully someone will know.
@Pno should choose the title for the new thread If they can't I love @JackSpratt suggestion with a modification from @KyBourbon.
"LaLande Lady of the Leaks"
Unless Pno is awake of course to choose!

I'd rather work in my kitchen than having to spend a whole afternoon in this cave and wasting the few hours of sun we get in the winter just because I wanted a damn studio. Make do with what you have at home Marie.

I once suggested her to get a shared space in dms. She said she wanted to have her own...

Oh!! I LOVE lady la Land of the leaks!


Taking on your OWN space when starting out is a ridiculous expense!! I know someone who does truly expenses weddings (say 60/70k on flowers maybe a bit more) she JUST got a SHARED studio space!! And when I say studio - I mean work space- nothing fancy to receive clients in!

Bibi's on the roll, isn't she. Don't know what she's been eating I can't make any screenshots at the moment, but it's definitely a fascinating read!

As I see it, the riff of MPK's art offer is not selling it good or bad but the fact it's left over from last year & hundreds of patreons never received t as promised. Yet again promises, promises.

That's why I was able to excuse the gift grab in my mind in the very beginning. Adjusting to the channel explosion, all these gifts coming in , some pretty cool ones fitting for a chateau, some that could be used personally (jewelry,scarves), I could understand how fun it must feel, especially for someone who never got alot of gifts as well. BUT as it went on and on and on, I think it's long overdue that she put an end to the show of it.

…I was interested because it seemed weird. It's neither here nor there, really. The Chateau DIY channel has hardly taken Y/T by storm or broken the Internet!!!!

The Chateau DIY YouTube channel that has recently posted the latest episodes is not the official Chateau DIY channel. Just some rando posting & looking for clicks. It will be gone again soon. Watch them before they get taken down.

@Parrfect Porcelane Nor did I, nor do I think there is that aspect. At least not for me! All in the eye of the beholder, or , quoting @Gibson: " I also realise art is subjective and of course everyone's taste is different. One man's trash is another man's treasure." There's so much in the history of Art that was , in its time, ridiculed and/or denounced as "pornographic" or labelled degenerate art. DJ has not, as far as we know, left any literature on his artworks, so anything one reads into them can be right, or wrong. Or, as Gertrude Stein put it, "a rose is a rose is a rose".

Someone asked if any Tattlers would watch Dan, if he didn't show the Shittoo. I would, the man has talent and has a go. I would enjoy watching a time-lapse of his renovations from start to finish. It's coming on apace.
