Tier 3 Instamums

[Mangofruity]

I missed the happiness coaching, tragic! Also last time I heard someone describe a person as a weapon - it wasn't complimentary.

Hardly a weapon. Maybe a tool.

Telford reckons she’s going to ‘address’ the lack of diversity in her set (or whatever you’d call it).

The point that Allison makes (and some others too) is that the same pattern happens again and again: brand launches something, gets called out for lack of diversity, brand "responds to feedback" and hopes everyone is happy. It has happened multiple times now. As instagram matures, it turns more and more towards the kind of business practices it used to rebel against; where people get successful because of who they know and what they look like, not what they can bring to the table. The Old Boys Network is alive and kicking on Instagram in a new hipster guise.

She does appear to be pretty smart but she’s also a journalist and wants the story. I never trust a journalist

The insta mum bingo is hilarious.
Also a glass of wine or a gin with ‘NEED THIS’ or something of the sort complaining of what a tough week it’s been.

 

[U Wot]

What does she say? That she didn’t notice that she was actually quite well off? Surely she may have had an inkling when she went through passport control?

 

[Cassandra Cain]

Clemmie T's gurning faces for her stories are beyond irritating, she won't actually talk in her stories because everyone will hear how incredibly posh and plummy her voice is and see through her faux edginess. And I was like and THEN AND THEN I THOUGHT THEN THIS HAPPENED

shakes phone in frustration

I’m sure that was just the image kerastase was hoping for when they gifted her the hair products

 

[U Wot]

She might want to have a word with Etsy then because there are over 2300 products tagged with “mother like no other” on there. Same with NOTH, Amazon etc, they all stock products with it on, I don’t think she invented the phrase?

 

[Instawanker]

What sort of example is it setting to our daughters when we share pics of us in our pants but don’t want them to share pictures of themselves in their underwear for likes?!

Feel that Alison Perry is quite desperate leaving gushing posts under all instamums posts & making her husband into insta dad and posing in her knickers I do not believe fit a second she’s doing anything for kindness it is for the following the likes the fame! Few I really believe in. I do believe in MP. I met her IRL once & you could see she was a nice person, took time to talk even though nothing to gain from talking to me. Clemmie Telford though is like an insta mum robot it’s all about the fame & likes with her as it is with many.

CT is so rude, I really doubt she ever enges with mere minions unless it’s beneficial for her. She’s always asking questions etc and I would say she is the one insta mum who never ever responds to her DMs. I think MP is brilliant and calling her just an Insta Mum is probably not of an insult

 

[Carobee]

Exactly!!! Why tag them? Why tell the world? She’s such a blagger!! I can’t stand her faux chav middle class greedy grabby persona.

 

[PotatoWaffle]

Well that’s selfish mother shouting out about people copying her brand and others. Last I checked mama wasn’t copyrighted by her? Also maybe if your jumpers weren’t £50 then more people would buy from you rather than the high street because last I checked you’re always banging on about how you’re not priviledged and you hate all the Tory austerity etc but you don’t really seem to have an inclusive brand? Champagne socialist much? I think people want to wear mama across their chests, they’re not thinking wow that’s a copy of a selfish mother top? Also next/ASDA etc all copied scamp and dude and there was an uproar but then the bills needed paid and a freebie lunch is offered up and they’re all running back to the big bad brands? There was a jumper in M&S recently, a tiger stripe one that “was identical to anine bing” one so you should all buy it because it’s great value - so it’s ok for a big company to copy another big company? I’m just gobsmacked at the irony of it all?

I love that MOD has liked this post-didn’t she get accused of copying a Cult of Youth jewellery design?

 

[Pollyponsonby]

For sale-6 Mother sweatshirts bought 3 years ago before Instagram gave us the Instamummy! R.R.P £175 yours for £10- ( 2 more but I cannot find them) hands up those who bought one and no longer wears it? #wingingit #mother ??

 

[U Wot]

In either case why share it?! It's not 'honest parenting'. In fact it sounds the complete opposite

Maybe she thinks it makes her sound relatable: hey I may have more holidays than you can shake a stick at but I still forget to tell the benefits office when my circumstances change too! #wingingit #taxingtheshitoutofit #taxcreditsthatslay

 

[Caffeineandcalpol]

Life of ivy coco is basically a walking ad now? And often ‘accidentally’ missing declaration of the type of post/story it is.

 

[AliceinWanderlust]

Anyone see MotherPukkas post on Amnesty? Closed comments, what went on there?

One minute she’s in Africa with Comic Releif then she’s swooshing her blonde locks with Grandmother Pukka for Garnier.... it all slaps a bit of bullshit and inconsistency for me.

 

[Babyjane87]

I feel sick thinking of mod have organisms, tmi!

She's got four children, did you think she was celibate? There are things she does that are questionable but referencing an orgasm isn't one of them and if the thought of someone else having one makes you feel sick, I suggest that the internet probably isn't the place for you.

 

[Palm23]

Everyone can make mistakes. She doesn't deserve to get called a c*unt for it. What is utterly stupid is sharing it online to unknown numbers of strangers and then trying to make it into a public service announcement/ try to garner sympathy.

 

[Everly]

Just hopping back on this thread under my sisters details to say a huge thankyou (@Everly @Sweettutu @Ladyhearmetonight amongst others) for reporting me to the moderators yesterday. You proved my point so much better than I could myself.
I was pretty sure you lot could dish it out but not take it - but I must say you really proved me right very quickly (within an hour of my first post. Wow!)

I joined as @AlbaL and dared to question your “opinions”.
Obviously you thought I was one of the “instamums” in disguise ? (because of course no-one else could possibly disagree with you right?!)*

And rather than face than face the “criticism” (as you suggest these “instamums” should) your “fragile little egos” reported me and had me banned.

What’s the matter? Can’t take a little criticism? Well then you shouldn’t post your opinions online - right???
You all “fawn” over each other but as soon as someone dares to question your posts you gag them? Brilliant. I couldn’t have written it better myself.

Special mention/ thanks to @swipeup. As you quite rightly said “when you start to try and control the narrative or censor (and delete) what people say it’s a slippery slope”
I couldn’t agree more.
Hypocrisy at its finest.

I’m sure this post will be deleted - just like the countless others I’ve seen that disagree with your narrative then “magically” disappear (...but don’t you just LOVE the screenshot function?! ?)

Night ??

*and FYI I’m not an Instagram “personality”, I’m a lecturer & writer from Bournemouth who is working on articles & a thesis on the herd mentality of online harassment. Some of my students told me about this forum yesterday - that’s why I joined. Really excited about reporting back to them.

#TattleLifeExposed

I didn’t report you babes. And I feel sorry for your students.

Fishing for freebies as usual last night....poor love hasn’t been able to get her hands on the 1996 Nupste jacket....hopefully North Face PR will jump onto that one quick and get one sent to her ASAP #prayforClemmie #firstworldproblems
