Wow, that's pretty sad to brag about a guy's car. And it's not like he had a Rolls-Royce Phantom 😂 I think he drove Audi TT Roadster. Sure, it's a nicer car than a Ford Fiesta but also it's not some sort of status car 😂 My cousin's friend got Audi TT for her 18th birthday and I'll forever associate it with a ditzy teenager.
I was just about to say that everyone I know who drives an Audi TT is in their late teens or 20s!

Then again, wasn’t Eleanor Lecocq in her mid 20s when she dated Chris while he was already in his late 30s? Maybe he wanted to get a car that his much younger potential partners would enjoy. 🤣

Given how much Chris talked down to Smelle and the fact he even dated her to begin with despite them having nothing in common, I get the vibe that he likes em young. 🤢 Similar energy to Rickety Dickets who clearly took a lot of pleasure in being the “more mature and experienced” one while he drones on and on at Eleanor with his condescending tone.

I think he dated her because nice women his age were taken and his over inflated ego told him he should look for an arm candy 😂 While Smelle isn't naturally attractive (I think she has decent hair that styles easily but that's really it... Her legs are kinda bad, lips are weird AF, she's not fat but she's also not lean, her makeup-free face is average at best), she loves to do herself up and is so focused on her appearance so that was sufficient for Mr Englishman. Add to that the fact he could de-stress by being mean to her and asserting his intellectual superiority.

She was cute when she was all painted up in the Chris era. You can nitpick little things but if you walked by her on the street you'd think you just walked by a cute young woman. He came off as shallow and I get why he dated her.
I agree. To be fair, Elle after all her paint and big hair and too tight clothes looked better than Chris, who was short and seriously unattractive objectively speaking. The snobby personality made him even worse and I can’t imagine any decent woman who had her shit together wanting to date him so he settled for Smelle, who was younger, willing to be talked down to,
and very impressed by his money. She didn’t care that he was unattractive and condescending as long as she could brag about his loft or car to her colleagues. 🤑
 
Are we sure that picture on insta stories isn't G visiting Elle and they are in Elle's apartment? The photo is just angled from the other side of the kitchen which we don't usually see from?

I had thought Ginette's condo in Hawaii was a time share thing because it's actually kind of difficult to move to Hawaii even if you have US passport?
I thought the same. It looks like Elle's apartment.

Nope it’s definitely not Elles place. Elle has blue/grey subway tile behind the stove and the light fixture above the peninsula doesn’t match.
Ah! Good eye!

If I recall correctly, Momma G bought the Vancouver apartment after selling her Victoria place, right?
No, this was back in 2014/15. Momma G, at that point, lived in the haunted mansion in Victoria, had the condo in Hawaii, and owned this property in West Vancouver. The West Vancouver home must have been rented out because she never stayed there when she would visit Elle. In 2018, she sold the Victoria home and then bought another house in Vancouver to live in.

No idea if the West Vancouver home is still in the picture, but it's a very pricey area. If she sold it, then Momma G could easily have netted over $1.5 million in addition to the profit from the Victoria home sale. Would explain how she can suddenly support Elle's entire lifestyle, whereas before she wasn't so generous or able to be generous.

I always thought the same!!! While he's not quite up there with Rickles in terms of icky, Chris was certainly not a looker. Joe on the other hand, wasn't bad? I still feel like Elle must see Joe as the "one who got away."

This picture of Elle circa 2015 is perhaps the prettiest I've seen her look, so I'd agree that she looked her best during the Chris era and somewhat into the Joe era. Unfortunately GirlBoss wears her misery as she looked cadaver-like during the Special Someone era and of course during post-Rick divorcemas!

If you look at her Seattle empty apartment tour, there is a microwave above the stove, not just a range hood. Also the view out of the back window doesn’t show the water.

So Elle’s not worried financially because she knows she’ll get a sizeable inheritance? Lol how big could it be? And how fast would it take her to blow through it?

Did her mom actually own the Van house or did she rent??

No idea. All we know is she sold the Victoria gone, lived in a temporary rental home for a few months (with Elle), and then was in the new home.

I do think she bought though, otherwise why would she be in the rental home for a few months? It was a beautiful home and in a perfect location, and if Momma G was renting I doubt she would have bothered leaving the temporary rental home only to move to another rental.

I beg to differ... Smelle's mother has always been pretty generous with Smelle. Maybe didn't buy her daughter diamond jewellery on a weekly basis, but since the beginning of Smelle's channel, our princess lives in rented downtown apartments on her own, never had a roommate (I get not wanting to flat share when you're 30 but lots of people do it when they're 25), and was ALWAYS spending beyond what her salary would afford her. Naturally, when she was with Joe that spending was through the roof, but even outside of her 'cohabiting' periods, she was buying Chanel, Céline, YSL bags, Jimmy Choo and Louboutin shoes, Tom Ford fragrances on a regular. Most of us can afford these too but not with the frequency she hauled all this stuff.

It’s really hard to tell, to be honest. Elle seems to move into a new rental every year with periods in between of staying in furnished places while she tries to get back together with the men that dumped her. Didn’t Ginette live in the UK when Elle was there for school and in Hong Kong when Elle did an internship there for a few months? I can see momma G following her daughter and just renting everywhere for however long she needs to.

I agree with you, @thecatlass - I think Momma G has always been very generous to Elle. But I do think something has shifted in the last few years with her spending towards Elle. When Elle first got her downtown apartment, they went shopping at a thrift store for furniture and it was outfitted with stuff from Walmart and Homesense. Fast forward a few years and Elle was spending $400+ on a lamp and only buying luxury candles. Even when she moved into her new place after Joe dumped her, she was definitely pretty spendy and was not on a budget with her $4,000 sofa and $250 sheets. I think it was a combo of living with men who covered the rent plus Ginette maybe loosening the purse strings a bit that explains her drastic increase in spending.

I only assume she didnt own because Elle stayed in said home when she went back for her bachelorette party and to pick up her car and again when she had an interview....they're serial renters. They probably don't have the capital to make a down payment in Seattle housing...they squander their money to look upperclass to bag a rich guy as their form of retirement

OOh, I wonder if she took a page from Creepy Chris' book about how you should treat your partner when it came to Joe? Looking back at those old Chris vlogs, she did seem more authentic and slightly more likable.

Didn’t she have a godfather who passed away? I remember her talking about this in a past vlogmas chatting well wrapping presents. I was under the impression he left Ginette and Elle something and that is why her spending has increased so much since the beginning of her channel. I
