Here's some Saturn is a man evidence for the jury to ponder over:

Jack Monroe #18 From giving THAT MAN hell to a Hellman's collab, “Baby Nigella’s” food is still making us gag.

Oh no, I hope it wasn't due to anything said on here. See you at 🖐 Gosh, they are strange boys, or fully grown men. He looks really cute there. anyhow, back on topic, if Jack is reading here (!) I hope she knows a lot of us are still hoping she’ll find her niche and run with it. She...

There seems to be a correlation between trainers being ugly and fashionable

Couldn’t find these ones online but similar styles were priced at £95-140. Which isn’t a massive amount for branded trainers these days but is a massive amount when you claim to be poor

I'm a self confessed trainer addict and I can confirm that these are expensive and were really popular with young people a couple of years back. You know, people may really dislike some of my trainers or my particular style but i really don't mind. I'm in my late 30's and I gave up caring about others opinions on my clothes along time ago (which incidentally women seem to have to deal with more regarding whether people think our clothes are age appropriate or not).

Anyway, what strikes me about JM is her lack of identity, it shows itself in many ways but her crisis with her sense of style is interesting to me. She's all over the show, I think that she's so insecure that she adapts clumsily to what she maybe admires in others but loses interest quickly because it's not actually who she is. When she was with Allegra she seemed to adopt a similar haircut and plaid shirt. I think when she is in complete crisis with her identify it actually shows in her strange selfies, cloting choices and hairstyles etc.

this is ridiculous. She’s had more identities than Deep Throat. How many has it been now? First we had the rough diamond single mum from Essex. Then the trans / non binary person. Then the scampering church mouse MH spokesperson cum aspiring model. Now it’s my big fat Greek wedding.

Jack: changing your name in the first place doesn’t seem to’ve made You happy, it probably won’t work a second time either. You can adopt as many different identities as you want: it’ll still be you underneath.

you haven’t screwed up your life: you’re just at a low point. Ups and downs, all lives have them. You’re not special or unique. In fact you should take comfort in that. You’re no better not no worse than anyone else. You may continue to work in entertainment in the future; you may have to find something else to do. You’ll probably be fine either way: you have privileges and advantages of which millions of people can only dream.
For the moment, though, stop flailing around seeking a new identity / USP. It isn’t helping you. Step away from sm and go do something that requires you to focus on others rather than yourself. Do that for 3 weeks. It will give you perspective. God knows you need it.
 

Jack Monroe #52 Am I awful and nobody has ever told me?

Congratulations to @acca00 for your second thread title. Winner with most reactions. Recap of #51 This thread saw Jack Monroe get back in touch with her Greek roots, and she produced a delightfully edible looking feast that looked, literally, too good to be true. She also produced a...

This is absolutely spot on and exactly what I think about her, she is trying to pick pieces of things she admires. It’s like the Nigella thing when she was obsessed with looking like her for a day, with the wave in her hair and Femme t-shirt.

I also find it so weird that she’s gone from being straight to lesbian to trans and back to lesbian again and has no formal ‘look’. She tries to do this whole denim shirt thing but I genuinely think it’s the plainest thing she can find in her wardrobe.

I’m a total sneaker head too - I collect Nike AF1’s! Which would be so much more fashionable for her with jeans and a denim shirt than what Vapormax would be, they’re usually a chavs trainer of choice so I find it weird out of all the trainers she would pick those. I thought Converse would be more her thing - but Louisa probably had a pair and she’s trying to imitate her.
