Lydia Millen #205 Nothing says old money like a pathway in the basement!

[Oops...]

How not to dress for a podcast, Who and what on earth will she be talking about?

She will be talking about HERSELF and HERSELF.

 

[ella1979]

Yep , Lydia advises people to stuff the bride where whatever you want including white to a wedding! Bloody brilliant

I'm sorry to bring up the flooring again. But how can she stand there with a straight face and think this outdoor looking flooring, looks good inside, it just doesn’t, no matter how much she talks it up.

I'm predicting once it's all finished and she starts to realise this type of flooring isn't working and not suitable to do anything on, she is going to come up with some bullshit excuse and rip it all up, she's that pathetic, she would! She would have no hesitation going by her track record of redoing her house over and over again!

I agree she will absolutely come up with a BS excuse and find someone to give her a proper floor for free. She always makes the worst decisions. That looks HORRIBLE. How is she going to sell this thing to leverage her manor in the Cotswolds. I know certain people with interesting taste may renovate in an unappealing way because they think it is a forever or very very long term home for them, but no matter what she says, she would leave that house in a minute if she could afford to live in the Cotswolds in a house befitting her delusional inflated sense of self. That place looks like a place that would sit on the market forever. If I were to walk in her house, I would immediately say no. And then be flabbergasted that these things she has redone, instead of leaving from a previous owner and not getting to them. Renovations are supposed to add value, not scare a potential buyer away thinking of all of the things they would have to rip up or change immediately because it looks awful. Even if she gets all this for free, she is setting money on fire and sabotaging her future self when it comes to equity in that home. What an eyesore.

I toured a horribly HORRIBLY gaudy huge house with my dad some years back and they wanted such a huge amount for what it was worth and the very specific way they decorated was burned into my mind and they refused to drop the price so it sat on the market. It had a GIANT oil painting the size of a large wall of the two owners with their cat and then smaller ones throughout the house. Not a funny one for people with a sense of humor. A very serious one, very poorly done as the owners were seriously delusional, they felt should be in like the national portrait gallery. I think that is the only thing missing from her home. I can see it now! Except she would absolutely leave Ali out of them. Too much focus taken away from her.

Omg that should be in a book about a typical narcissistic response. She wouldn’t be happy with people wearing white to her day and that article is just coded for, I can and will try everything to upstage the bride on her wedding day, because I need the attention on me ALL the time. If someone wore something more beautiful than she did to the supermarket she would probably go home in a huff and lay in bed sullen while screaming commands at Ali while desperately searching online for the exact outfit to copy. I mean really Lydia, come off it.

 

[ella1979]

I had to laugh out loud re the supermarket comment nice one absolutely.

I thought the same re someone attending Lydia’s wedding in white . She would still be moaning now about it !.

I thought the same re someone attending Lydia’s wedding in white . She would still be moaning now about it !.

If someone wore a royal blue dress that had perhaps ivory stitching on the hem or near the zipper to her wedding in which she felt that lady looked good in versus her, we would get a video now saying “Healing from Years of Trauma” with her sullen looking on a couch rambling for 30 minutes

The fact is she thinks both so highly of herself to the point of delusion that she assumes whatever she wears and how she acts all eyes are on HER, bride, no bride, whatever the situation. The minute ANYWHERE she feels like someone has something better than her, more expensive, prettier, that deters attention away from her, she will FREAK OUT since underneath that ego is fragility. I mean, the behavior is akin to my two toddler nephews when one has the new toy and people pay attention to him for one millisecond longer than the other. It’s why we always say she single white females other ladies. It is always a competition to her, everywhere, including that supermarket! (I swear I can see this happening!)

Life doesn’t have to be a match to the death in every situation pitting yourself against every woman, I can’t imagine being a grown woman feeling that way. It’s why she uses her Hermes as shields and armor, she can’t go out without the most expensive bag that people lust over, how would people know she is better than everyone without showing she has HERMES with every outfit?! She would be shocked to find not every woman feels that way. Stepping outside your home doesn’t have to be a match to the death with other women all the time Lydia, that sounds exhausting. Get help.

 

[ella1979]

Your analogy is spot on, it’s interesting isn’t it .

Lydia’s “contact” ask Charlie is having to downsize . I wonder how long it will be until there is a moving vlog.

apologies for being off topic here but does anyone know of an ask Charlie thread here? I’ve searched but can’t find anything she must have a thread surely ?

 

[kaztt]

Yes, exactly! ikr?!

Her desperation knows no bounds. I think because she's on a mission to prove to naysayers there is a history that connect her past to present, whether that be her clothing choices i.e "dressing like grandma", home interior, cars, furniture, lifestyle, all brought up in order to associate anything she does or wears today, resemble (in her mind) 'old money/wealth' style, to make herself look and sound credible. She wants to convince everyone it's all linked back to her family roots and background and where she comes from.

These regular little comments she makes, along the lines of, my grandmother wore a pinkie ring, she drove an aston martin and defender, she competed in horse shows, my outfits are what my grandmother used to wear... with her shirt collar up (that looks like count dracula's collar). Or my uncle carlo painted murals for "famous people". Or my grandfather had a big successful business he wore tailor made suits, they went to fancy parties and their house was filled with lots of expensive heirlooms, and trinkets, all the bells and whistles, you name it, her family wore it, had it, or did it, nothing is off limits or extravagant enough. It's comical how far she will go with it all, to keep her bs narrative chugging along. The more she keeps telling everyone her tall stories the more unlikely it is.

She’s gonna run out of things to say!

 

[ella1979]

She’s gonna run out of things to say!

unlike members of tattle

she really is funny but in a bad way , always talking points and giggles to be had

 

[MichiganGal]

I would looooove it if some of the real horsey girls start doing Tik Toks making fun of the Bunga clown pretending to be a rider.

I'm confused though with her lies.

First, her family OWNED a riding school and she wrote from a young age to 16yo.

...but now she is learning to ride for the first time.

This is why Tattlers look up her location and finances etc.

Not because we are obsessed with dumb witches or are creepy but solely because we hate pathological liars especially ones that make loads of money from it whilst honest, earnest folks are living pay check to pay check.

Nail meet hammer.

Lydia says she's worn her Gingerberi double pearls so much the earrings have broken. So she had to order another pair.
Errrr thickums, that's really NOT great a AD there for Gingerberi, Lydia.
You've just confirmed Gingerberi quality is SHITE.

I can't believe you're not a top AD exec at Ogilvy & Mather.

She probably wears them to bed. I do not leave the house without earrings, brow pencil, and lip gloss But I always remove my earrings as soon as I get home. I absolutely do not sleep in my earrings. I actually subscribed to Gingerberi but I just unsubscribed

It looks like there is a hump in the floor.

 

[starship1]

I know what it is - the cardigan is too small for her broad shoulders. The stitching finishes before the shoulders.

 

[Greentrees]

I was just watching the bit in Lydia's vlog where she was playing backgammon with her dad and did the biggest eyeroll when Lydia said "my dad was backgammon reigning champion at boarding school". Of course he was! lol She always has to brag, boast, big-note. F off Lydia!

I wonder if there is a category anywhere for delusions of grandeur because Lydia would be the titleholder in the delusions of grandeur reigning champ stakes.

She had to ‘elevate’ the game of backgammon with her father to a ‘Championship Challenge’. The reality is it was just an ordinary game of backgammon.

So Lydia was with Lauren yesterday, and poor Lauren was given the task of filming Madame stomping her way through the restaurant

Lauren mentions Lyds is already 1 glass of wine down and laughs. Lydia cackles in response and then says to Lauren "You've not had ANYYYYY" as if it's a bad thing Lauren has not drunk any wine.
Lydia's behaviour towards alcohol is both childish and worrying at the same time.
---
Is Lauren Professor Henry Higgins to Lydia's Eliza Doolittle... ??? Hmmm. Interesting.
Wish Lauren would teach her some table etiquette and good hygiene...

a Lidl oil painting, that is next on her *Notswolds* bunga bingo card
I can imagine it now, devising an oil painting with one of her OTT little house on the prairie dresses up to her neck, sausage dogs by her ankles and her eye bleeping herself to the painter so when it’s done, Lidl and the portrait can stare at each other lovingly. She would be holding a globe in her hand but then tosses it aside because to her she IS the world!

Oh I missed this about Ask Charlie! I wonder why?!

The flooring at Soho Farmhouse is primarily brick, so she was probably inspired one boozy lunch to copy it. I wonder if she’ll change it before it’s even finished

money problems. I’m quite shocked .. from what I gather they seem to be renting a smaller place and doing it up , putting an Aga in etc . I think they are keeping the old place and renting it out but I’m not certain it’s a bit confusing . The potential rent must cover and give them more on top I guess. Unless I’m mistaken and they are selling the other place . I honestly thought AC had plenty of family money either from her side or Simon’s .

Wonder if lydia will continue to try to force a friendship now AC is on the down in life . I feel a bit sorry for AC .
---
Imagine doing your place to resemble a commercial members club !. If she was going to copy anything it should have been daylesford . Can’t go wrong with how that’s done imo
---
How can we make a thread for ask Charlie does anyone know how it’s done ? I’d try but don’t know ??

I laughed when Lydia said Daddy Millen was a boarding school champion backgammon player ... and then a minute later, Daddy Millen, with a very not-posh-boarding-school-accent was quite stumped and very slow at explaining Lydia's next move on the board.

I fear this is the same route we are being taken on as we were with the "I rode horses as a child ..." or 'My family owned stables".
Sad sadddddddd pathetic lil poseur.

[ella1979]

Funny how someone in the family owned a riding school yet she can’t even hold the reins correctly !

there’s no way anyone close owned a riding school.
