Tanya Burr #18 Run out of money so back to where it started. The only thing she was remotely good at.

It's just nuts for me that someone is paying to hear Tanya Burr discuss books. If she had a guest author I could understand. But can you imagine her hosting a thoughtful book discussion? I cannot.

The type of people who go to this will be cut from the same insufferably snobbish cloth without a single independent thought between them. I wouldn't be surprised if the the audience was made up of influencers and similarly vapid bores. No book lover in their right mind would bother with an event like this. I follow a few book accounts on social media and her attempts at being a book influencer are quite frankly embarrassing and insulting to the people who do this properly.
 
Begging for a gifted landscaper on Instagram…always under the guise of “I need your recommendations lovelies!” In reality hoping for a landscaper to message her like “I’d love to do this work for you in exchange for social media exposure”

Urgh this really annoyed me too. Like sorry but what proportion of her audience is going to live in the right area and have a recommendation for a bleeping landscaper? Just ask your North London elite friends instead — oh but that obviously means you’ll need to pay for it yourself. Bloody joke.
 
Just posted this in Jim's thread, but thought I would here too if anyone wants a summary of the perfect shade Tanya threw at him in her Q&A today.

From about 5:10 she's asked her favourite things about Dan, and what made her know he was the one to settle down and have children with.

Not once does Tanya mention she was married before, she just says she'd dated before, and no one had been like Dan (Ha ha, Jim, two can play that game). Gems include:

* On an early date they got drunk and danced round Dan's kitchen, Tanya says this is the MOST fun she'd ever had whilst dating someone
* Tanya told a friend she'd never met anyone like Dan who she could be so silly with so quickly
* Tanya says they still dance round the kitchen and she'll turn to Dan and say it's like we're literally in a film. She says she never thought her life could be like this
* She says she loves Dan's positivity. And that his goals and outlook on life are aligned with hers, and that's comforting.
* She says she loves how much they talk. And that she'd dated other people before she settled down with Dan and never had this with them.

I think we can gather from Jim's recent podcast output that he's a sulky, unambitious, bore who would put Tanya down for wanting to be silly. To have your ex-wife talk as though she's settled down for the first time must be harsh, especially when she's saying everything is better with her new man, and she's never had it so good.
 
Happy for her but anyone can see she's painting the classic movie scenes dancing in the kitchen, being goofy, etc. Not saying it isn't true but she's an influencer. She has never been real a day in her life since she picked up a camera and this is just one more performance
This. Why is everything so fairytale with these people? It's so fake and contrived.

So true. Hiding him from us is clever also, as she can paint us a picture of how amazing the relationship is. We don’t get video glimpses of him cutting her off mid sentence, looking distracted when she’s trying to explain something, or see Sage more engaged with him than her. Literally we a told a fairy tail. Answering questions like “how are you such an amazing mum?” and “how is your relationship just so perfect in your dream life?” She playing the break up game better than Jim (Dan not wanting to be on camera has worked for her), doesn’t necessarily mean she’s happier than Jim. She failed more embarrassingly than he did. Though her acting is improving tbf.
 
To be honest I don’t think she’s lying and she looked genuinely happy when speaking about him. She had a twinkle in her eye…I think she is genuinely happy. It probably helps he has a job where he’s probably out of the house most of the time which is something she didn’t have that with Jim as they both did the same job.

Good for her anyway.
 
Normally I’d agree about when people pretend their well documented relationships didn’t exist, HOWEVER…

It’s obvious that Jim would grab onto anything she said and I don’t think she wants any public connection there anymore.

Remember when she gave that interview and only said that getting divorced was ‘scary’, as she was starting over, and then Sarah referred to that comment as justifying her ‘reveal’ that Tanya supposedly cheated on Jim and said that Tanya’s use of the word ‘scary’ was alluding to abuse? It was crazy but obviously those two (IMO led mostly by Jim) would be waiting and watching for any mention of their marriage. Tanya has not given one response or acknowledgement to both Jim and Sarah’s allusions or comments on the marriage (even something like Jim saying he wasn’t allowed colour or whatever in their previous home, hence his painting rooms green lol), or their comments about Tanya, etc. I think she wants to keep it that way given that something was obviously acrimonious.

Also, I will say that Tanya does indeed seem happy and while this often is BS, it seems genuine. I know people complained about how she always appeared happy in early motherhood but some women just ARE blissed out in the early months, it’s a different experience for different people. I mean, all that said they are new in their relationship relatively speaking, and so we will see (I guess) how it actually progresses, but for now they are young, well off, and without too much difficulty.

And when she tried working not from home (her infamous "Confidence" play), he was stalking her at every performance
 
It's all of course just a part of the act and the pretence of living an idyllic life in an area of your dreams (next to bus depot), with a perfect partner of dreams ( no one is that perfect) with a lovely little baby ( never once mentioned his terrible twos or tantrums all kids of this age get). I mean if something is too good to be true, it probably isn't true. She's a try hard
 
She's so blissfully happy but looks years older than her age with dark circles and frazzled hair. She seems intent on portraying a perfect life and I'm not buying it. I'm sure she's happy with Dan and loves Sage, but I mean most of us will have the occasional bad day and she likes to pretend that doesn't happen.
 
I really think there’s some kind of gagging order on them both not to mention each other.
It could be an agreement or it could be legal, it’s could even be that they aren’t allowed to profit from each other in some way or divulge anything about their split. A lot of the snark has come from Sarah who’s possibly exempt. Just a theory but it would explain a lot.
