I think that’s the main gist of it. Plus there were a few comments asking why she was calling for a ceasefire after one had been announced.Possible stupid question but I don’t understand every nuance of the Palestine/Israel situation. Is she being criticised because she has just referred to Palestinian people and casualties and not Israeli too?
Great thanks. Someone also asked why it had taken her so long to say anything and made the point that on or directly after 7 October she posted an ad for Dunelm.....I think that’s the main gist of it. Plus there were a few comments asking why she was calling for a ceasefire after one had been announced.
I see your point and I largely agree but she could've more easily said nothing at all, or deleted it, or turned comments off after the backlash she got and the loss of followers.Hasn’t she just copied and pasted the same message a whole bunch of her ‘class’ of instgrammers re: Palestine tho? I’ve seen the exact same message from the Otto house, emmaJanePalin, etc - ‘with thanks to’ Medina Grillodesigns ‘for sharing’ (letting every white influencer copy whilst yet another woman of colour does the actual work… snore)
So yeah. I wouldn’t read anything into this very low level bit of performative nontivism
Totally with you - although think this was my point - she’s not preaching to anyone. She waited for someone else to and did the absolute minimum - copy and pasted someone else’s thoughts, feelings, sentiment. Does she even think or feel these things? We literally won’t know. It hasn’t come from her. She’s just stuck her name against it. You only have to look at how she dresses and where she shops to understand the lack of independent thought Alex suffersThe evidence is in her comment section. Medina and other Muslim and/or non-white influencers are somewhat preaching to the converted but Alex clearly is not.
That’s a lot of money to pay to look like you’re in a cult.I’m sorry…even with the discount that blouse and trouser set is £290! Jesus Christ that’s insane
The post she’s done about buying the one thing she didn’t particularly recommend from the anya uniqlo collection, kind of sums up how ridiculous influencers are in buying for the sake of buying. She wasn’t particularly fussed about the scarf in the preview but bought it presumably just so she could buy *something* from the collection. And then she’s queuing for god knows how long to buy more in store?
I’m still in the process of unlearning lots of bad habits re shopping, a lot of which were made worse by influencers constantly promoting the newest fashionable items. The worst of my shopping addiction was back in 2017 before influencers had to declare ads and before I knew what a swizz it all was - I have low self esteem especially regarding fashion and was constantly chasing dopamine rushes from new clothes. I still fall victim occasionally (was tempted by one of the jumpers in the anya collection - was actually relieved when it had sold out before I had chance to go on the website).
But it all seems so futile and can’t believe how much money I’ve spent on clothes over the years - these guys are promoting and fuelling irresponsible levels of consumption!
I think she's too full of herself and also too cheap to let anyone else take a cut.....Anyone else feel a bit sad (!) for poor ol Alex slogging away at still pretending she’s a “stylist” whilst all the others get wined and dined at lavish Christmas bashes hosted by their management reps?!
I’ve noticed a definite shift towards influencers hosting their own dinner parties for brands this year, which is hilarious. Really enjoying watching them work for their money and pretending that going to their work ‘friends’ house is fun. Absolutely brilliant.Anyone else feel a bit sad (!) for poor ol Alex slogging away at still pretending she’s a “stylist” whilst all the others get wined and dined at lavish Christmas bashes hosted by their management reps?!
