I haven't seen her rant. But in a lot of other countries, girls under a certain age have to wear leggings or shorts under dress and skirts for childcare / school.

Does it bug anyone else that she never, ever, labels any free books or other things she gets sent for free as #ad? She's so privileged she can't be bothered to label her ads. I just think honesty is SO important and shows respect for your followers.

Also they seem to always be sick.

She always seems to be sick during the week too conveniently
 
A thread on Mrs Fancypants! I used to really enjoy her content but there was always something about her tone that seemed sneery and condescending. I feel like she thinks she is so much better than everyone else, and there is no room to disagree with her. An example recently would be her shop in IKEA, where she was bitching she couldn't find a blanket because it was in the wrong place. I am guessing people responded asking why she didn't just ask where they were, and she posted a passive aggressive story saying she had the ability to look herself. That's what I mean...you can't tell her anything. I also do wonder about her always being sick at convenient times, like AFTER she comes back from a trip, or when there's a public march on.
 
That really annoys me about her, when she comes on saying something and then going on about how don't dare message her :rolleyes: I do like her insta though mostly however I feel she's a bit dishonest when it comes to reviewing books by Irish authors. I got a book on borrow box that she recommended and she said she couldn't leave it down, it was absolute tripe.

Yeah some of the authors she recommends literally cannot write
 
The sneery, condescending tone is what bothers me too. Been following her years and years and it's always been there. I absolutely cannot stand when she does a story from a hospital waiting room and says 'Don't DM me asking what's wrong with me'. Like, the only reason we know you're in a waiting room is because you've shown us!! Feel free to not film yourself there for Insta, and to keep your private life private, and noone will DM you about it!! I've taken a break from watching her recently.

She's started getting lots of freebie books in recent years, so I assume that's why she's possibly dishonest with her reviews - because she wants the freebies to continue.
 
Loved her stories when she was in New York, they were so interesting and she got out and about loads.
Now she just seems to be reading books all day long while her child is in creche, the only bit of Dublin we see is along the walk to creche. And when her child is unwell and cannot attend said creche she seems to be complaining about that.

Oh stop, she has one up today from another waiting room. "Routine, so nothing to worry about." Yeah, we're not worried...no one asked to see it. Obviously very unfortunate that she got ill, but I had a major issue with how she handled it online. First she said she wasn't going to discuss it online, but was happy to put together a post so she could get likes and attention. Then she went on to mention it all the time, but didn't provide any detail. I had an issue because there are people following her who have cancer, or their loved ones do, and I imagine they find it difficult not to compare their situations. "I don't need any further treatment" and "I'm lucky to be here" in the same post.

I find her more and more unbearable. She's happy to cast judgement in a sneery way online - especially when it comes to posting about Gaza - but if anyone gets in touch to comment or offer her their point of view, it's: NO UNSOLICITED ADVICE PLEASE I'M FINE THANKS. So why are you putting your whole life out on Instagram so?

This is turning into a bit of a rant but I can't stand how her and that other book reviewer have joined forces and just promote each other's content all the time. I can't think of her first name but she runs that book club for "tired" Mammies. I used to follow her when the book club started but have found now she's all about her "brand". And she posts feck all honest book reviews anymore - same as Fancy Pants, it's all just blurbs of books they got for free. I unfollowed her as I couldn't take the constant ads that she hadn't labelled as ads. Her and Fancy Pants constantly just promoting each other is withering...no interest.

Yes I generally like her reviews but when i see her do Irish authors and maybe tagging them as if she knows them or has gotten the book for free I always take the review with a pinch of salt. Rosemary MacCabes book wud be an example. Wat a life thou kid in full time childcare so she can read books 🤷‍♀️

She tags everyone, politicians and other bloggers and influencers as well. Anyone with a bit of a following. I don't believe her Irish book reviews at all. She's at a launch event for the book and tagging the author...of course she's going to be positive. It's all an ad but she's not labelling it as such.

Totally agree with all of this!! Ridiculous that she's posted another waiting room story today. This 'don't dare DM me about it' attitude is so disrespectful to her followers, many of who have loyally followed her for years and are probably genuinely worried about her health issues. She could so easily have chosen to say nothing and noone would have known about her cancer. And it's not new behaviour either. Doesn't she have some other, longterm (immune?) health issue too? The reason why she was originally on a career break, I think. She's been ordering people for years not to dare ask her what condition she has.

I know what you mean about her and that Tired Mammy one too. I think this is what made me give up watching Fancy Pants daily, after following her for years. They come across so cliquey and kinda above everyone else, and added to the undeclared ads, it became unwatchable for me. She used to be one of the few genuine Insta people, who didn't seem to be in it for the freebies, but that's all changed now.

Yeah, I definitely think there's been some kind of agreement between them to boost Tired Mammy's account. I could totally see the change. They go to all those book events together too, I've seen them on their stories. I'm in Dublin and would be interested in some of the events authors share, but jaysus I'd be nearly avoiding them knowing those two would be at the front using it for content! It's a pity because Tired Mammy's content was so much better before it was all about pushing her book club as a brand and aligning with Fancy Pants. I know someone who is still interested in the book club but they don't seem to get any access to the online meeting any more. It does seem like a very cliquey space, and I get the impression the two of them think they run the show!

I am a big reader and there's a good few bookish accounts I still follow. But the ones I follow do decent reviews and share book content, and it doesn't seem like any of the ones I follow are pushed about promoting Fancy Pants or Tired Mammy, or getting you to buy anything. Fancy Pants dabbles in spon-con sometimes and it would make you roll your eyes...free tulips and dinners delivered to her door. As if she doesn't have time to be planning her meals given she's at home all day at nothing...
 
Her and the husband are away constantly without the child too. You have one kid, stop dumping her every chance you can
 
Yeah, they often seem to leave the kid at home and go off.

I'm so glad to see activity on her thread and to know others feel the same about her as I do!! I feel she has gone under the radar for ages and got away with murder not labeling ads etc. The more typical huns get given out about here so much and these bookstagrammers seem to get away with it.

Yeah I do think she likes the high life. She still thinks she's in NY, living the life of a consultant's wife, reading and sauntering around museums and cafés! :p It annoys me how much of her content screams "look how much I have!". She's seems awful materialistic like with her TWO expensive advent calendars "himself" got her. Especially for someone who's so preachy. "I NEVER FREQUENT STARBUCKS but fair play to the boycotters" :cautious:

Same! I'm not sure what's worse, that or Mr Fancypants. Is anyone getting really tired of the incessant talk about Palestine? I 100% agree it's important to speak on it, but each to their own. Some people like Fancypants have made it their entire personality, and I hate when she lectures about speaking about it, or calls out accounts not talking about it. But yet it's fine for her to show us her tulips? I follow many accounts for information on Palestine and what's going on, reporters in Gaza, news outlets etc. But this notion that every "influencer" needs to completely change their profile so they look knowledgeable on the subject is beginning to grate.
