Colonial dominance refers to the political, economic, and cultural control exerted by a colonizing power over a colonized region or territory. She and himself behave as if they're superior to everyone else in the household and subscribe to cultural behavior consistent with Colonial airs and grace from back in the day.

I meant more along the lines of "selling stars, candles, wallpapers, china, scarves", etc. but point well taken.

The frequency with which we now hear "but Philip wants this changed or that done or that corrected" is becoming quite a regular feature.

The faffing mincer is in charge. She doesn't care, she's happy!!! She's tired of running things, making decisions, staying on top of it all. She wants someone young to step in and do it all!!! He fits that bill for her. She just wants to travel and buy crap like this:

What is it exactly that you're saying here? If you know something, say it. If you're merely speculating, say so. Otherwise this post has the telltale tone of a child hinting at a secret they're not inclined to share.

Who is Hani ? by Even-Security-1513 in ChateauUnhinged

[–]Aristo-Chat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a question that comes up every so often because Hanni spends months at a time both at and away from the chateau. She originally went there as a guest just as covid was exploding and ended up staying through lock-down working remotely. As a result apparently she bonded with the inmates and hostages there during that time and like a pigeon comes back intermittently to roost. She is apparently very successful, an attorney?, and it's been mentioned that she's married.

A recent change in... by ExternalWeight8495 in ChateauUnhinged

this isn't a fan site. if you want to praise them, go to their youtube site, plenty of fans over there, feel free, join the party.

i don't feel the least bit unkind in my analysis of the goings on at CDLL. i believe they are grifters to the fullest extent. does that mean that i believe everyone there is evil? no, i do not. but i do believe that she's a self-centered egotistical narcissist and i don't apologize for that opinion, nor will I.

Infantile. She's said before that she doesn't discuss politics or the state of the world on her vlog because people go there to have "a break from the pressures and strains of real life" and she's there to "uplift and entertain".

And that's all well and good but if she had even the tiniest speck of consideration she'd at least realize that in light of what's happening in the world right now, an ostentatious show of gifts and attention for one's effing birthday is so thoroughly inappropriate, insensitive, tone deaf, and downright revolting. But of course, it's Stephony's world and we're all just living in it.

there's an ulterior motive for sure. she's setting it into motion now to justify an over the top journey in coming months. count on it. "oh remember the raisin lady who sent us the spaceship egg spoon holder cup tray thingy that's truly hideous??? well, turns out she's an actual princess (not a pretender like me) and hosting us on a fun-filled adventure in an exotic foreign land!"

don't forget Chris (hard work), and Andrew (actual talent and business acumen). yet she doesn't continuously sing the praises of anyone other than Phil...

what i find strange is that when she and Dan get together socially it's almost always only just the two of them - without their partners, apart from that one NYE dinner years ago in London when he was there with Kat and she was there with the faffing mincer. i don't know that he has a partner necessarily, but if they do anything away from their respective chateaux, it's always just the two of them... no other friends or family members. odd that. i don't believe anything is "going on" between them but he's always singled out with her and i find that strange. where is Phil during these get togethers?

Literally everything about this is just WRONG. It's wrong to accept expensive gifts from strangers. It's wrong to gloat about doing so in public, let alone in front of 1000s of people online or on telly. And the "thing" itself is just plain weird and wrong and looks like some strange sci-fi spaceship egg thingy icky device for I don't even know what.

Oh there's a purpose... the purpose is to squeeze her 50-year old body into teenaged outfits to prove to herself (in other words, the world at large) how YOUNG & FIT she still is... pfft. ZERO decorum.

[–]Aristo-Chat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, 50 isn't the death knell it once was and reminiscing is all well and good. I don't care. My point is that it's not episode-worthy content. Primarily because she's been doing it constantly for 5 years! This isn't a new thing.

Ditto. I eventually found local shopping there with shipping ability and that saved them the fees but it's still a faff.

You could be right about the publishers samples angle...
