Is Sophia Money-Coutts a lit luvvie? Either way, I had to share this somewhere. It‘s all bonkers, but the last line in the second screenshot is actually genius.

No, I wouldn't say Sophia falls into this category. To enter into luvvie territory requires pretension and I don't think she has that. She freely admits to being a writer of "bonkbusters" and silly tongue-in-cheek articles for Tattler, The Torygraph etc. She's never pretended to be anything other than what she is. Too bright and self-knowing.

Thank you for explaining, I had no idea!
 
Yeah I like her but we can still talk about her here! She’s a good writer- Dolly’s a good writer too but her stories are always full of boring carefully chosen details to make her seem boho like my ex, who worked at the garage and brought his prawn sandwiches to the cool little record shop we both frequented and always had to be careful not to spill mayonnaise on my skirt inspired by Edie Sedgewick who was also mentioned by my favourite author Nora Ephron, saves money like this… Sophia just makes her hilarious points 😂

I mean she’s an out of touch Sloane, but I think the line ‘she never pretends to be anything other than what she is’ is key and she doesn’t take herself too seriously. I think it’s the voice of a generation stuff that annoys me too with a lot of the LLs when they’re only the voice of their own milieu

Tatler got rid of her as well as part of the posh girl cull they had :( So sad, she’s perfect for it
 
Is this caption chatGpt generated? Riddled with errors from an ex editor 😂

Hasn't Sophia MC whinged on twitter about being disadvantaged by having her surname... so she may not be a straight up LL but she's still massively out of touch with reality.
