The entire conversation with the spa therapist gave me second hand embarrassment. Also am I the only one who absolutely hates when she finishes off the sentences of others and tries to dominate the convo. He's the professional and knows what cups, etc. are. Everything she does is about showing off how 'educated', 'smart' or 'naturally beautiful' she is... NOT. Her fake humbleness and politeness honestly made me
She is so delusional to think that she has a VIP status in that hotel. She behaves as if she is a major actress, singer, entrepreneur making billions, aristocrat or old money lady. Well, the truth is, she has neither talent or any status.
I used to work as PR Manager for luxury hotels and I do exactly know how the whole business with influencers works cause unfortunately we had plenty of those leeches begging for comp. stays. The hotels look at her follower counts on social media and may be the high-profile connections of dirty could be of interest too. Tetka gets paid exactly 0,00 € for whatever she does there. She is supposed to create content and in return they get the villa and pampering. I hated working with influencer tbh (obv there were some expectations). Most of them are super cheap tho, they want everything for free and hardly ever tip at the hotel compared to journalists or tour operators. I could see first hand that their real lifes and looks have nothing to do with what they portray on social media. It's actually super simple to become an influencer, you just need to be shameless enough to beg your way through life. It's a real Tamtam thing.
And I strongly believe that this chic never ever makes 40k a month. If at all she makes break even. I don't think that high-end designer brands pay her a lot for posting their bags and stuff. They know exactly how much influencers crave to work with them and that they would do anything to get associated with certain brands. I trust that you can make a decent amount of money if you make ads for mass market brands. Even Heart Evangelista collaborates with Nescafe and Ponds or Jessica Alba with Amazon. Not so our sophisticated Tetka who would not do such collabs but also who doesn't have her own brand, a regular high-paying job or a real sugar daddy.
I assume that she has gotten herself into a viscious cycle. When she was still living in the attic in that small British town, she was able to spend her money on luxury items to pack her wardrobe with. Lately however with her recent life in Paris, the rent, lifestyle expenses, etc. I doubt that she has lots of cashflow. To me it seems like she orders a ton from the platforms she works with, makes a haul, returns 80% and keeps one or two items which she pays with her coupons or whatever she gets from the affiliate program. So I wonder why was she wearing a 3-year old Zimmermann jumpsuit in her latest vlog, when few weeks ago she made her massive summer hauls? It also seems like most of her stuff is borrowed incl the jewellery.
Every now and then she gets a Birkin or Kelly cause she knows that this is what her audience is interested in. She has to keep up with a lifestyle that she could never afford just to produce content and to maintain the fake life in front of the cameras. She would also never go back to her old Pharmacist job and honestly without working in that profession for over 10 years she would have a hard time finding a decent job. I can also not picture her one day working with a brand for real or creating her own. To be fair her style is tacky and childish.
She would have invested in real estate or bought her own home long time ago. She simply doesn't have the means to do so. She most certainly believes her own lies anyway. Life gave her a wake up call many times, but she just keeps drifting away.
