Laura Blair

[ThirdWorldGlam]

She comes across as a grafter who never quite seems to get where she wants to be, whilst people like Lydia Millen seem to cruise ahead of her. Is Lydia the witch people say she is?

I agree Laura it's strong and brave in terms of the things she went trough, if she wasn't so "try-hard" with this whole luxury content attempt it may be her following would grow more organically. She was full in crisis trying to sort out if going back North could be an option, somehow stayed in London but the grinder is too harsh at the moment.

As a now-Londoner myself I can see a lot of people struggling to "keep up" with their lifestyles.

Lydia - I do not follow her that much as her content is such a bore, the Tattle thread kind of dislike her too much (in my opinion of course), truth is she became unlikable due to pathologically lying all the time, is actually tragic to watch when you realise how mentally ill she is.

Laura has been trying and failing to be friends with Lydia for a long time, in some Laura's vlogs she recorded the classic "here with Lydia!" snippet, like when they both attended the Royal Opera by Karen Millen invite and Lydia's reaction was soooo cold. I think Laura keeps peace with Lydia as their demography may be very similar (in terms of followers looking for that style of clothes) and that's it.

I watched an old vlog from 5 years ago today and she was like a totally different person very bubbly and the filming was all over the place - thought she was permanently tiddly at one point. Georg was there and it was mentioned that they both met whilst working together - sounded like Selfridges or Harrods, then they both left to start out in fashion and Laura was encouraging Georg to become a You Tuber.

 

[Chocolategoggler]

Oh dear Georg has deleted loads of her videos and privated a few, so I can't go back to find out about the darkness in her life. Laura has left loads of her old videos up, but she's not one to spill on her friends personal affairs, so I'll have to remain largely in ignorance (apart from what Tattlers have told me) when Georg refers to her "dark period".

 

[ThirdWorldGlam]

Ohh I did not notice that she privated some old videos, tbh it's been months since I stopped following her. There's a limit on how many vlogs of influencers lurking around with free stuff my brain can take.

I have coined the phrase "Tattle never forgets" so...

Besides what I mentioned above, I do recall she had issues with her body, likely disordered eating. She was waaay more skinny, you can easily compare this with older pics. I noticed now she deleted/privated a video about her boob job journey (!), she 1000% had a boob job. Nothing wrong with it of course, interesting how she changed content paths now.

Eventually she got into this "healthy lifestyle" wave and .... now she looks fab.

I do recall Laura or Georg mentioning they met in a boring office job (marketing agency I think) and during the pandemic, Georg still had a mixture of working from home for some comany + influencing.

When she moved temporarily with Laura, it seemed Georg was going trough a difficult time, otherwise she could have rented something for herself. I do suspect Laura now rewind this period as Georg taking advantage of her, because now her influencing career is doing way better than Laura, not in terms of final numbers but well, we can see Georg with Chanel bags and Laura in cursed London flats. Again, no offense but Laura has been kind of... struggling!

The friendship breakup kind of took place when Georg rented her new flat, which I actually suspect she purchased at some point because started some massive renovations which no renter would do.

A mixture of envy and some truth on it from Laura maybe???

Yes! I was wondering if she'd bought it! Laura seems quite open compared to Georg. There was mention in a recent vlog of Georg's about the boob job, though.
I'm wondering if Georg has fallen in with a bad crowd. Laura's friends seem much more normal.
I watched an old vlog of Laura's from about 5 years ago and Georg didn't look as good as she does now - more beaten down by life. Maybe she wasn't willing to listen to Laura's advice when she hit the big time and the hangers on - Lindy feels particularly barnacley

So funny everything you’ve said is what I’ve thought. Georg doesnt seem friends with alot of her old friends? And the new ones are questionable from what I’ve heard. I think both there lives are smoke and mirrors tbh

 

[Peoniesandballetshoes]

Her latest video, such a tweeze, saying moving to new flat and we get a shot of the delivery truck. Either just do you fashion vlog, or split videos into themes, fashion, events and moving and interiors. She would get better views if she themed them.
also loving the fact she listened to people and started showing some more casual (for her) outfits.

personally hate the London street fashion walks, it makes me uncomfortable looking at the other people watching her, plus I don’t normally like most of the outfits. But that’s her ’thing she’s known for” apparently, I don’t remember it being what everyone loved pre pandemic or afterwards. But hey she can present how she likes.

personally preferred her nice laughing chatty self in her flat, bit of make up, lots of outfits in different styles and bits of events or coffee with friends. She is different now and I’m not sure I like it as much.

 

[ThirdWorldGlam]

I actually like her messy vlogish format but it still feels like a rollercoaster because her life is all over the place. I've found it cute she said "I do not understand how people party that hard, in your 30s, all I want to do in my 30s is sleep"

Rolling back to Georg - who is going out to festivals etc. all the time, of course is questionable and different lifestyles, can clearly see why that friendship was not going further.

On how people party so hard. Sometimes is ❄ and other substances. But also it does seems Laura is burnt out and likely still with a fragile health. Hope she slows down a bit, the content of she chatting about life showing make-up type of thing is perfect. For real, the whole influencer game after 30+ may be exhausting.

 

[Uncreativename]

Is she actually OK!? What in the world is this outfit!? She looks like some sort of dementor from HP!!

She's literally prancing around outside The Ritz with n*pples on show and her cheeks out.. Far far from the classy luxury look you'd think she was trying to go for.

 

[ThirdWorldGlam]

I could not find that reel, is it old or did she delete it?

Just found it. Was recommended to me but it's from 27th August YouTube short 'dance in the rain' :



All her black outfits are so samey.. It always looks like she's going to the funeral of a sugar daddy or weird Cheryl Cole 'call my name' mesh and bodysuits/swimming costumes with weird long trench coats. Think she's trying too hard to be edgy and make people stare at her on the streets for likes but I much prefer the actually wearable stylish looks that are classic and elegant. Think she's become too theatrical and try hard and none of the looks are wearable anymore.

 

[ThirdWorldGlam]

To be honest, Laura just does anything for the views and it works

I've been thinking for a while, Laura should have way more brand deals than Lydia at this point, Lydia has "1 million followers" that half of it must be bots

 

[ThirdWorldGlam]

From Lydia's thread

They kind of look tired and over-botoxed, I do not envy this influencer lifestyle at all

 

[Bubble18]

I thought she was mid 50s I just looked her up and she's in her mid 30s?

No idea why she’s doing cars. She travels on the tube dragging a suitcase behind her. Skint

This is her. All smoke and mirrors. Drags suitcases about changing in alleyways to shoot more content. Didn’t have anywhere to live, remember her shoebox studio. Some clothes have tags on and are returned

Which one, she's moved quite a lot?
I'm wondering what's currently happening re the agent who ripped off her clients. She took £50k off Laura and there were others with names that are familiar.

I drove the Audi A5 but in my real life POVO dragging my suitcase on the tube……..

So she has a brand now? https://www.lablcollective.com/

How many influencers brands does the world need, probably none

I actually hate the name LABL.. it is very forgettable and sounds cheap somehow. I'm assuming the logic was a play on her name but just doesn't work.

The website also looks like she made it using her blog template and it's just very messy and unprofessional looking generally.

I also think she's going to have trouble selling sunglasses..literally just 3 pairs on her site which feel randomly titled in other languages.. There's zero theme running through the 'collection'.

Also I HATE the weird definitions of the sunglasses names.. 'inviolable' in particular is a pretty horrible one!!!

I think she missed a trick with the sunglasses..no one knows her for sunglasses.. presumably that was the easiest thing to manufacture and start off with for her own brand.
