Genuine question - is there anything she hasn't copied from someone?

Strongly suspect this was an original

Evita wasn't on my bingo card, so that was a nice surprise. I wonder who the 'someone else' is that's singing in her head? Perhaps it was Borbora.

Jack does a lot of tearing and ripping doesn't she? Tearing batteries from her clocks. At least she's not clawing gas radiators from the wall, I suppose.

Store also rhymes with bore, and frankly that's the first word that comes to mind when I read Jack's poetry.

I instinctively went for 'crumbly jaw' to rhyme with store when thinking of guest.

This picture makes me cringe so much I actually feel like I move around internal organs. I honestly don’t think she has the part of the brain that has embarrassment does she?

I think the embarrasment part of the brain would have stepped in by now and asked her to delete those old selfies, at least for the sake of her poor son.

It's giving 'edgy Btech photography coursework'. Who poses with a dead creature like this? Gotta look cute and mysterious while I use this deceased bird as a bleeping prop

It's ~artistic~ and ~symbolic~

The dead seagull represents the economic decline of British coastal towns.
The woman is cradling the bird in a display of mourning.
Her jaunty hairstyle provides a clever and effective visual link with the seagull's broken wings.
The choice to shoot in black and white is reflective of our collective nostalgia for a mythologised past, while the tattoos counter this nostalgia with the harsh realism of modernity.

Why hold bird?
Communities unheard.

Giant claw

At the coffee store
mumble mumble
can't be a bleep
with my crumbly jaw
and my giant claw
*sniff*

I don’t think I’ve seen her old Flickr account before, which dates back to 2011.

They are all bleeping hideous but some are truly wrong. What a complete lack of talent of any kind.

What the duck do you ask a hairdresser for to get one of them?

Many many threads ago, there was a call for a dental adjacent Frau to comment on the teeth. I have literally been waiting and grunking to sign up, solely to say - I am she. The dental adjacent Frau. And those teeth and gums are as estranged from a toothbrush as sideboard Mel is from the truth.

What I'm still confused about is how 2012 was her annus horribilis but 2013 was later retconned to be the worst year. That's when she was forced into sex work and fetching food from bins. So, what made things so much worse for her?

With the caveat that all her later histrionic fantasist nonsense about it (evictions, prostitution, bin-bothering) is all bollocks, I do believe she found herself in financial tit in 2013, but all due to being an attention-seeking cosseted irresponsible idiot, and to her overspending.

She was “self employed” with Bread and Jam crafts at beginning of 2013 got the full time THE NEWSPAPER job in Feb, the £25,000 book advance in May, the Guardian column in July and feted all over the place at all points between. She quit her newspaper job within mere months to “go self employed” the minute she started getting all the national attention because she felt entitled to a national platform. (I’ll try find the comment where she explains it to a squig on her blog). She was insufferably GLEEFUL about her “celebrity”, awards and “being the news” on her blog in 2013.

Claiming she was broke with the national spotlight on her, she moved out of her flat in June/July 2013 to the “shared house”, had already moved again (rent free into a new partner PoPo fiancées place) by Sept-October, moved again when they split in late Oct-early Nov 2013 into (again rent free) her friend’s place they were selling, and finally into a flat of her own at NY 2013-14 with a kitchen she could have a “camera crew in”. She lost that £1,000s deposit when she moved in with Leggy 2 months later.

I just reckon she was fame-chasing and massively overspending that year, in the belief someone would bail her out (which multiple people clearly did)

So glad it all worked out for her in the end.

That SPITE dedication to Borb, Piotor and Jheni in her BEST BOOK YET was almost as much of a grand ol idea as hitting publish on Hunger Still Hurts (The Stygian Gloom and Boiled Soap Years), 2022.

Turns out you didn’t need to bother rewriting the acknowledgments of your BEST BOOK YET when Hazza ran for the hills, Jack. It’s not like anyone’s ever bothered to buy it (or even read the fucker beyond your asinine maiming tips)View attachment 2577654 q View attachment 2577656 q
It couldn’t have happened to a more delighful and deserving person.View attachment 2577658 q duck you too, Tonkinson ❤

It’s really difficult to tell what “it” actually was, isn’t it?

Just as to Jack owning a “forever home” is an end in itself, with no thought whatsoever for any of the myriad responsibilities and hassles that come with being a home owner once you’ve got the house, being famous (and “in the public eye”, as she was already calling it on her blog by May 2012) seems to have been the “it”/the end in itself.

I mean, it’s clear she’s been royally sabotaging things for herself since at least 2015 but it’s difficult to see other than attention seeking, “fame” and grifting a house what was her point or purpose in all (waves arms around at the last decade) this?!
