I don't think Viv's gift of candles came from a sample sale, do you?

Fanny looks like she should be standing on a corner in Pigaille. Isn't that the Diana, princess of Wales dupe outfit. And is that another new coat. Why red all the time.

Fannys abominable clothing choice and nervous energy is an uncanny resemblance to The Joker 🤡… MariE …. all the way to Paris dressed in her best to walk around IKEA.., trapped in her own insecurities… seek help and go live your life!!

Gracie did you notice the auction house that Snorts bought his lookalike portrait from?
Just wondering how much he paid for said damaged item.

Fanny is very pleased with her trifle shoes…trifle shoes. She looks like a five year old dressing up.



Snorts was returning…a brooch to Permasmiles shop…wonder how that went down.
He also congratulated them on their furniture and room rearranging saying it gave a better flow. Someone smack him.

The young couple who purchased La Ferte from Adrian and Carole do try to be polite and say nice things about the work they had done, but wow- that place has a LOT of issues! I don't get it- while I understand wanting to make rooms habitable and comfortable to live in while you are working on your home, when you look at the big picture, all the time and effort Carole spent on gilding and restoring the salon were a moot point when the beams below are in such a terrible state. But, the new owners really love the dump, and seem to have a grasp on the massive works that will need to be undertaken. It'll be an interesting follow:

I love their editing and I can't wait to see some actual renovation happening. Not that other channels, like Purnon, don't also do that but I was never able to get into them (sorry, not sorry) whereas these seem to be just the right length and entertaining enough even when no works are taking place yet. The only other chateau channel I watch with some enjoyment is the Flueries when they are doing actual work, not shilling candles or yacthing.

Tasting Menu at Jules Verne, available for lunch (12 to 1.30 pm) and dinner (7 to 9 pm), costs €290 + €35= €325 $338.94 x 3 $1016.82

So the cost of the Eiffel tower lunch for 3 would be $1016.72 plus wine. I’m at the cost of the lunch was around $1300, courtesy of patrons. Baghead love to show up for the pricing meals and experiences.

Baghead has made off pretty well with some Patreon funds this year, a luxury, South African, vacation, and luxury Safari, likely stay at a five star hotel in Brighton, Michelin star meal Paris, etc.

I believe it was through a Toulouse auction house affiliated with Intercheres auction site but I’m not sure which auction house it was. Some of our French toddlers may be able to identify it. Stephanie said he also purchased a fire screen.

I don’t know if anyone is identified the trifle shoes by manufacturer or price.

The Bad: The fact they made FRK drive her Renault, even after the windscreen wiper broke in half so Baghead, Fanny and FRK could take the train to Paris, whilst Snorts drove the Porsche with their luggage to Paris later on in the day... Why didn't Fanny just drive the Porsche to Paris with FRK, and Baghead and make Snorts drive the Ford Fiesta or the Renault to the train station? I suspect Snorts used this opportunity to pick up more auction house tat... Also, why on earth did Fanny think it was acceptable to curl her hair on a train?!? Bogan!

The Good: Fanny's reaction to seeing the tiny Air B&B they would all be staying in. FRK picked it out, and seemed quite chuffed with it. Fanny, however, wasn't thrilled as it is not the usual 5-star luxury hotel she is used to. I chuckled when Fanny gushed over the gay male mermaid baubles when they were shopping- she tried to show FRK, who was not impressed, but Snorts would have definitely been a fan had he been with them (too bad there was not one holding a Spode cachepot.).

I daresay this was far better than a "Travels with my Dumb Friend" vlog because FRK was radiant, bubbly and seemed to genuinely enjoy every single minute. The lunch at Jules Verne looked lovely, and FRK had more an appreciation for this experience than Fanny or Baghead, since this luxury is not her norm. Fanny, of course, looked at the wine menu and said she was looking for the cheapest bottle of wine, but they were all over 95 Euros. Really?!?

FRK even booked herself a nail appointment for after lunch, which is also something she does not usually do, so good for her! Snorts rejoined the group before the ballet, but the ballet ended up being cancelled by a dancer's strike. Fanny relented and the trio (sans Baghead I think) went to Ikea instead.

FRK was over the moon, and loaded up the shopping trolley with gingerbread, lingonberries, and biscuits. She pointed out a vase and told Snorts they needed them for the guest rooms. Snorts was appalled, as they were glass, and FRK pointed out they cost far less at 99 Euro, and took one anyway. In the kitchenware section, she picked up some plastic containers and asked Fanny if she could get some. Fanny remarked that she had already been reimbursed for the 3 cancelled tickets to the ballet (did Baghead pay his own way, or did he opt out? Why was he even there?) so to purchase as many plastic containers as she needed. FRK added a sieve to the cart, and Fanny grumbled, "At this rate, it would have been cheaper to go the ballet." And with that, Snorts handed FRK another sieve, who declared it would be good for rice. Snorts discovered the Ikea bags can double as a backpack, and Fanny snarkily remarked she had never seen Snorts wear a backpack. His retort later whilst he was wearing FRK's purchases as a backpack, "This is quite good for the car- for auctions and such!"

Afterward, they took FRK out for a cocktail at KONG, since Fanny needed alcohol, and the trio went back to the flat for dinner delivery (knowing Fanny, it probably ended up being fish and chips, even though they are in Paris.). Vlog Le Fin.

Overall, I actually enjoyed the vlog (gasp) because of FRK- she was ridiculously adorable and funny! Before you ask me how many Miller Lites I am in, I will preface that while Snorts generally annoys the "bay-cheesus" out of me (apologies- I watched Permasmile's vlog first, and am jealous of Simon's cheese advent calendar that puts my Sam's Club one to shame), FRK and he had a more genuine dynamic together and he seemed to act like an almost normal person in Ikea... Until he showed his brooch!

Also, FRK gets a gold star as she looked lovely in all of her outfits. What the actual fork was Fanny wearing to go to the ballet?!? She looked like she was wearing the business suit of a deranged elf- it was awful!!!

I kept wishing Marie would tie her damn hair back, it looked so scraggly, practically dipping into her food. Though I did find her counting Birkin bags amusing. Next thing you know, Fanny will be sporting one.

Just for you @TorontoGWM The late Larry Grayson who camped up everything and became popular with the UK public in the 70’s (I think). He was great friends with Noelle Gordon who had her hayday starring in the unforgettable Crossroads. An everyday story of a West Midlands motel, where the acting was so bad it became iconic, the scenery shook and fell over if someone sneezed and the story lines were as believable as Fanny’s. The much loved and talented Victoria Wood summed it all up the best by writing and starring in the take off Acorn Antiques, which was unmissable.

I have to say, maybe as a Nordic person, i have a soft spot for FRK these days. Now that she no longer is so bleeping thirsty for F4F attention. I think she is genuine and makes the best of the resources she is given. Plus she seems the only ones that cares for Ruby and Gallahad.

Armoire also has turned a leaf - i think there has been a shift with his attitude towards cuz.... I hope he grows a pair of gonads and moves to be closer to his parents.

A contradiction that - Amaury growing gonads and moving to the SoF to be closer to his mummy and daddy.
 
Why does FRk & Fanny call Ikea plastic containers Tupperware?Are they trying to get an American sponsor or are they catering to the US granny patreons ? Dressing up for Ikea when they already knew the Ballet was cancelled was quite hilarious. Wonder how many other shoppers captured the farce on their cell phones? So many questions so little time before the next vlogmas episode.

Can we please send a Tattle Christmas present to the Gayancé and name the next thread “Permasmile said it best - Philip, you’re such a grandmother!” ?

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

He's as much use as a chocolate teapot. At least Horseface actually puts herself out to help her father and Permasmile. Some of her wardrobe choices are hilarious however. For all the fuss over mirrors in Chateauverse, no-one ever seems to look in one, other than FRK for her IG pics.

They're more expensive on the second hand market than buying new, although you'd have to be on Hermes waiting list for yonks. So if she ever does and says she got it at a discount, she's got a knock off.

Still, perhaps one of her rich patreons will by one for her.

Useless -v- wilfully incompetence? I think it's the latter. People stop asking you to work etc. if you make such a mess of things it causes them to have to redo it. Oh dear, giggle, giggle, I'm so useless 😡. No just a lazy biotch!
