Popsy Clothing Cult #6 Look at the state of that effing mole

[WeTalkAboutBruno]

The problem with businesses like Popsy is exactly the same as the problem with influencers. They create a cult community, inviting people to behave like one big happy family, the head honcho of the cult community gives the sheep access to their lives (or what feels like it), making them feel all warm and fuzzy like they actually have friends. Unfortunately, many of the people who fall for these sorts of sales tactics are usually vulnerable, with low confidence or self-esteem, so they crave the attention and become overly attached. This isn't their fault, the lines are drawn so vaguely that they think the likes of Cherish, Popsy etc. (Mrs Hinch, Stacey Solomon too) actually care about them, when all they care about is money and exposure. They've created a monster, so when people pay their money for things their expectations get blown out of proportion and end up hurt or disappointed. I know we take the piss out of the people in the Popsy groups, but part of me feels sorry for them too. They've been sucked into something insidious and damaging, and when they see the light they're going to get a big reality check.

I am laughing at the different levels of bobbling

I think she might have invented the Bristol Bobble Chart.

1. No bobbling, usually only found before you take it out of the packaging
2. light bobbling in some areas resulting from one wear, no washes
3. medium bobbling in some areas, following a couple of wears and one wash
4. medium bobbling all over, dress has had several washes and wears and maybe a hug from another clammy popette
5. extensive bobbling all over, dress has had several wears and all areas that have had contact with an underpop, a tacky bag or some atrocious boots are bobbled beyond the help of a debobbler.
6. catastrophic bobbling all over, please immediately consult a seamstress and/or put it up for sale to another sucker for around thirty quid.

Accidentally stumbled upon this thread today, had no idea it existed but I’ve just spent the last hour and half reading!

I don’t own anything popsy but have an acquaintance on Facebook that often posts about them and how life changing they are AND she actually met up with Timara earlier this year
This is going to be my new favourite thread

I arrived here in exactly the same way!
And I've known her for years and am really really shocked that she's been taken in by all this gumph
I still shake my head when I think of it, especially as she has a cracking figure and can wear ANYTHING grrrrr

Welcome! I am in envy of your friend and her famous acquaintances! Let us know if she has ever met Red Bob and her infamous vibrator or Gummy and her never ending family!

I found this thread about a month ago and I cannot tell you how much I have genuinely laughed out loud since then, people on here are so funny, if it gets any worse I’m going to have to message Rita and ask where’s the best place to get Tena Lady as you can’t be too careful at my age according to the Poppettes!

Make sure your Tena matches your dress!

Qu is this Popette

1- celebrating Queen Cherish saying hello at the meet
2- happy that they found a dress without bobbles
3 - over the moon that they are off to an organ recital
4- behaving highly inappropriately in an office environment

Answers on the back of a pink spotty envelope….

All of the above?

Wonder if Timara is going to keep posting every recital as a Popsy meet up event. It’s getting annoying now. You’ve made your Popsy twinning friends, just invite them directly FFS. A whole 2 people are going this time, take the hint that 47997 people aren’t interested.

NPR question about an allotment. The only answer should be ‘Join an allotment or gardening Facebook group’….there are loads of them, I am in about 4 and the advice is brilliant because that Is the focus of the group not bobbly dresses.
Do these people know that other specialist Facebook groups exist?

Think I’ve just understood why that idea didn’t take off in the last few months as expected!

Watch this space start growing again with a whole new angle to tap into…taking bets on the ‘rebrand’ being Prosecco and Parenting or Parenting and Pushups…

God I hate this woman, she's always jumping WHY?

Before Popsy she'd wear these ugly skirts, can't remember the brand but she was in the Snag group then.

ah I had heard something about maybe she was pregnant. Wait for the baby tat she will post…

what does Timberley think he is?

 

[ClaretFairy]

If my clothes bobble they go in the bin I'd be ashamed to give them to charity shops let alone sell them.

Please just give them to charity, most collect unsaleable stuff to rag and they get money for it.

Love this!
My dress (forgive me!) Bobbled in areas, rather than as a rate.
Started under arms to then where my lanyard was etc....
I just had an awful thought about bobbling on the jumpsuits crotches. Unless they put underpops on top...

 

[princessmaire80]

I do have a jumpsuit and it’s not bobbled.
oh wait..
that’s because I’ve never actually worn the thing

A woman.
Happily the rest of us are very aware what he is.

Feel a bit sorry for her along with the other socially awkward women in the group who often come across as a bit lonely and sad. Instead of giving £45 to Cherish they should probably be giving it to a therapist and sorting themselves out, rather than trying to find their community among a bunch of polyester dress lovers.

Exactly this. We joke on here about the posts but we know that most of these women (and Tim) are socially awkward, probably many are ND, and desperate for community. It's evident in the oversharing posts normally but also in the many anxiety ridden posts about the meet up.

I've found a lot of support and friendship in online groups so I agree. I've posted in the popsy group before and been totally ignored when the regular posters are getting hundreds of comments for the same thing each day - its definately very clicky

 

[anniemouse]

I have made online friends in Facebook groups but it’s actually disgusting as Cherish & Co probably know fine these people are vulnerable, socially awkward and seeking validation and continue to exploit them.
