ETA internet people are in the gang with bin people and skidmark people.


Lots of people work hard in the public sector and feel happy with that. I don’t understand the idea that there is a clear way to be a goodie.

being an influencer is one of the most unethical professions out there so I’m not sure SH is best placed to lecture and explain how to be good. Does she think beauty banks offsets her bullying social life and hyper consumerist self centred career? Not when I weigh it on my ethical scales. Nowhere near.

Her confidence in her lifestyle as the main and right one is hilarious.

Indeed.
Vegetarianism, dog adoption, bauble collection, granny brands, liberalism, internet decorum...
if you’re not constantly mentioning your lifestyle choices do they even exist?

So strange isn't it. But if we comment on it we are trolls and wierd. Possibly it is wierd to comment on a stranger, being internet people. But that is all it is, commenting on stuff people chose to put in the public domain. If it is a touchy subject best not mention it.

One of my favourite perfumes is a Jo Malone - Black Cedarwood & Juniper. I love woodsy scents but it's not always easy to find one that doesn't smell like floor cleaner, and I do find it nicely strong and long-lasting. That said, I hate buying from brands that are too influencer-friendly, luckily this bottle seems like it'll last forever so I won't have to give them any more money :p

Never fear... perfume parlour to the rescue. (Currently out of stock otherwise I’d be tempted to pick one up myself - sounds lovely).

This in the writing always used to jump out at me - I was caprivated by the Do It My Way DUMMIES tone.

But opinion writing is just that isn't it really. She is certainly Better Than Most People though.

It's a very fruitful aspect if publishing though. Look at Caitlin's "How to be a me" and her "How to build a fictional me" franchise with it's spin off film. Not forgetting her and her sister's brilliant sitcom "Raised by my fictional single parent mom (can't be arsed to write dad)".
And then there's India's "How to spend money like I do", "How to lose weight like me and my mate did", "How to be thrifty because I got into debt", "How to get older like me" and "Humans and dogs have lived side by side for over 15,000 years but no one was doing it properly until Eric and I won Westminster dog of the year (or rather our dog did) ' let me show you how".
And then of course there's IK's novels such as "Fictional me at Christmas" and "How fictional me got older".

Off topic, but ray of sunshine Julia Raeside (one of the most prolific "prawn" tweeters, presumably who Emma Tennant meant when she said something about Julia seeming obsessed with hating Dawn and who wrote the Guardian article DP mentioned on her podcast) has a podcast called the Box of Delights about TV memories.
I listened to a few minutes of the one about Mike Leigh's brilliant Meantime. Telly expert Julia describes Tim Roth's character as a "nerd". Stopped listening at that point. I appreciate no one else may care but the arrogance of these people who either as writers don't know the meaning of words (NB: wearing glasses doesn't make someone a nerd) or as "TV journalists" don't bother to watch a programme prior to recording a podcast about it.
Also realistic British telly apparently started with Meantime and Boys from the Blackstuff and before 1983 UK TV drama was formulaic and saccharine. Off the top of my head I'm going to mention Cathy Come Home, Edna the Inebriate Woman and Scum, all pre 80s. These clever writers don't seem to have considered that it seemed like that to them then because as teenagers they allowed to watch TV they previoused wouldn't have been aware of (even though Raeside mentions Ken Loach 🤯).
Apologies for the deviation there, but ffs, people are not bleeping idiots. If you want to put yourself up as an expert on something, eg TV, get stuff right.

I've actually considered this in the past and think people (not just SH) use the word nerd to justify spending quite a lot of money on things they know are essentially trivial. Nerds buying lots of beauty products is a very specialist thing and almost scientific. Justification.
