Is this discount Fleishman is in Trouble or what?

I’m getting high fidelity vibes from the synopsis of this book !

Yes! I thought the same! It could be interesting to read that kind of story written from a woman, but

Good material so good material for his stand ups I guess. Cue pages of his monologues with ‘clever’ societal observations, basically Dolly doing stand up

Andy sounds like a man child baby witch. Hoping Jen fucked his friend.

It's a fairly relevant post to this thread and people are commenting with their thoughts, so no need to be rude to me for sharing it.

I think she’s joking DW no need to be mean that Dolly about writing a book, just this one seems super derivative

 

[Love_hate_small_town]

I don’t mind the sound of it

Had zero interest in ghosts and it admittedly does sound v derivative but I found that extract entertaining and think there is plenty of interesting things to explore in the comedy scene. Especially as she used to date a stand up.

I wonder is the girl ends up doing a stand up show with her side of the story. Giving John robins and Sara Pascoe vibes (although she was the bigger stand up in their relationship at the time).

There are so many books written by men with female protagonists, I don’t have an issue with it.

It’s the casually posed leg for me, along with the ad disclosure incorrectly hidden at the bottom.

No way is it actually called a Casa Pop Up Desk???

It's giving Mojo Dojo Casa House

 

[smellsofbiscuits]

Pop up desk is a far reaching title for what is essentially a fancy laptop stand.

This pic is why I will take Dolly over Panda any day of the week. Invisible nanny and pure white frilly nightie masquerading as a dress with 2 young children and a newborn, give over!

 

[Love_hate_small_town]

I wonder how her husband feels about panda getting a pop up desk when he still has to work in a wicker basket. No wonder it’s a crap photo, it’s taken with pure resentment.

She really phones it it.

 

[jenmarks]

Not to mention that this pic is clearly taken ON HOLIDAY. My heart bleeds, truly.

Can you be a journalist and also accept paid brand partnerships? The two things to me seem mutually exclusive…

Yes. But she also doesn’t call herself a journalist anymore. I think they switched from ‘journalist’ to ‘writers’ towards the end of the high low.

Does dolly do spons? I don’t think I follow either of them on Insta anymore but I get the feeling dolly stays away from them?

I have zero interest in fashion but do enjoy good fashion journalism and kindof wish panda had stayed in that area and really tried to become THE fashion writer. I read ‘the dress code’ last year and it was interesting but I’d love a British version. I would love a deep dive into 90s and 00s fashion. I recall wearing a tiny crop top with something like ‘don’t touch what you can’t afford’ emblazoned on it as a flat chested 12 year old. The ‘kappa slappa’ era in the 90s pre ‘chav’ terminology etc. think is would be so interesting to pick through.
