She’s very down to earth, would say there’s much bullshit out of her.

yeah I mean it’s not her fault that her best mate is an editor, course she’d jump at a chance to have her work published thats understandable, I like her too. Her and Vicki are best mates from school. But yeah one of the comments up there hit the nail on the head about Vicki , very self assured in an unlikable way. I think she’d make your life hell if you worked for her. She’s really threatened by women , her husband seems similar. I think because he comes from a posh background, she tries to come Across that way too.

Is the husband posh ? I’ve encountered her in a retail environment and she is exactly as described above, nice but rude as the same time if that makes sense.

he comes from money if that makes sense. Kind of a rugby head vibe. Yeah she’d play nice but talk down to you. I always felt on the podcast Valerie was sad or something or not herself. To be a deputy editor you’re basically working hand in hand with the editor so you’d have to be quite close. Those two seemed very distant , I honestly would imagine Valerie was miserable there.

Yes, very telling that Valerie stayed in the deputy editor role for less than a year. The company is supposed to be horrible to work for, particularly the owner. Rosmary McCabe hinted a lot about her time there but said she was afraid of him bringing liable against her and I know she's not the only one to say it's a horrible working environment.

Judging by her linkedin Valerie was in the deputy editor role for nearly 3 years.. am i missing something here?
 
Vicki is an only child from Tallaght and went to St Paul’s in Greenhills

why people put so much out there about themselves is beyond me

she seems to love talking about herself

2 minute google search and her princess conceited vibes are striking

I get you, I never listen to the podcast but used to regularly buy the magazine but the content is always the same so stopped, it’s probably not aimed at my age bracket but that usually wouldn’t stop me.

She was website editor for 2 years and then got promoted to deputy editor for the magazine early in 2020. She was with the company for about 3 years but I’d imagine you’d want to get a bit of experience as deputy editor before you’d move on to properly advance yourself. She seems to have left Media too her new job looks more business focused?

yeah Vicki probably put her off. 🙄🙄
 
I really have to disagree with the Nadia comments, i get the same snooty vibe from her! I understand that Ireland is small but the fact she has the travel column via Vicki is something else altogether, severe jobs for mates vibes, which is such a problem in Ireland and it’s shameful they can be so brazen about it. I wouldn’t also take Nadias travel advice for anything but a guided tour, she doesn’t seem to pay her way around much, everything is a more or less structured press trip. I’d rather take the advice of someone who’s doing it all themselves/investing their own in money in what’s good and what’s not, not just following the PR Teams schedule

Not all! PR Trips are of course part of the job, but a genuine travel writer (IMO) is someone with a bit of their own gumption who has spun their hobby/interest into the writer side. There are plenty out there! Of course free trips come with that, but Nadia in all the time I’ve followed her has mostly just been doing the trips handed to her , or says “next I’d love to go here - writes a list” and the next month one of those places has been offered as a sponsored trip. I’m not begrudging her the free trips, I’d take them, but I’d be more invested in what she has to say if she was also mixing it in with self paid, self planned “real” travel.

Was nadia in a different career then decided to write? I thought she worked in BTS or a hair salon.
 
Well, Nadia did get her travel column the very first month Vicki took over as editor of Stellar so no matter how much she's liked or not or good at her job, she's been Vicki's best friend since school and that's the only reason why she has it. Also, I'm pretty sure that she started out as a travel writer after Vicki couldn't go on a press stay so she sent Nadia instead. Nadia used to be a makeup artist.

Which insta hun do you predict will be on the next cover? I bet Vicki is only dying to get Nicola Coughlan on the cover now that she's doing so well from Bridgerton, but wouldn't put her on the cover before.

I also saw that Valerie has started her own beauty newsletter. I wonder how that went down with Vicki?👀
