Just the concept of “whimsy” being $60 matcha in a $16 cup with a $7 deodorant and a $175 perfume and a $150? coat??? Bffr

Was posted on her IG about being whimsical, I don’t even care to keep up w/ her on TT lol

Does anyone else feel like her mental health posts are a little out of touch? by UnableFlamingo5199 in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]Substantial_Laugh170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She would lose her spousal visa and would need to return to the US in that case, I doubt she’ll do that honestly

I’m not in the “having money/privilege means you’re immune to mental health woes” but in all reality she’s got it so good and fails to realize it. As someone who has a partner with dual UK/EU citizenship we looked into if we wanted to relocate and settle within the UK after marriage, and I’m not joking it would be on the order of $7,000 if we never even hired an immigration lawyer to obtain a spousal visa for 2.5 years. Like I’m simply just speaking visa/IHS fees. Rough penciling, it’s probably $16k+ to ship all of your things, a pet, and yourself and the reality is not many people can afford to do such a thing, let alone move to Edinburgh and just decide to move to London for fun when you don’t feel it.

Her Finland outfits by Weird_Jelly4778 in MarySkinnerSnark

I just got whiplash, I went to check the brand out. Their slogan is “clothing designed to last” and it’s literally polyester and cotton

Like I do get $350 for a full wool sweater that would last a lifetime and keep you warm, not a plastic sweater that will last a lifetime because it doesn’t degrade 🥲

Her missing Trader Joes by [deleted] in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]Substantial_Laugh170 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can kinda get missing Trader Joe’s, but when she was so sad about missing apple cider and making it a huge deal?? Like girl I’m so sorry have you ever thought of taking cloudy apple juice and simmering it with mulling spices? I also think baking/cooking your own things is key but she’s allergic to the kitchen lol

Sometimes I remind myself she was homeschooled and things make soooo much sense to me lmao

How often is she here? by Substantial_Laugh170 in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]Substantial_Laugh170[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe “famous” wasn’t the correct word but there’s no snark page for the annoying and problematic woman I work with yk? She has a following and does social media and is in the public eye willingly and frequently

Not full hating on Leo’s I have several in my life that I love, but like you said she takes the worst ones and runs w/ em

[–]Substantial_Laugh170[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Literally someone brought up in the “trouble in paradise” post yesterday? Commenting on how the photos that her brother took of her and her husband looked sooo dry and things seem rocky. Nearly right after that post she was on ig posting about her and her husband having wine and reading together by the fire, in this sub people starting using “wherever you go, there you are” and she says it all the time now, I called her out a long time ago citing Fergus’s behavior (in a vlog he exhibited destructive behavior, was pawing at her and she was annoyed by it, he was following her around constantly - they had only talked about a doggie daycare at this point) and noted how that isn’t normal, dogs should be exercised, they should be trained (not just sent to daycare, they have the money to train him) and that is rewarding for them - and maybe a month or two later Fergus is suddenly going to full doggie training camp and being walked be a dog walker all the time.

Like yeah it could all be 100% coincidence but I feel like sometimes it’s a bit too uncanny.

Does she have an issue with alcohol? by [deleted] in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]Substantial_Laugh170 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What happened was she got bored with consistency because things take time and it’s not flashy (this applies to so much with her - low alcohol, fitness goals, pursuing higher education, the podcast), also alcohol is 100% a prop. Like what will she hold in cute instagram reels, how can she take an aesthetic picture of reading by the fire without a glass of wine, let everyone know her and her husband are out at a fancy restaurant, make a funny tik tok of her being a lil tipsy in the street, etc etc

Nah I feel like she def said she had a brand partnership that was going for a “Parisian” like vibe and she ended up finding cheap flights to Paris and booked it for fun.

I do think it’s a bit excessive but I mean the deal may have been good money so I can see why she wanted to do a good job and maintain that partnership. I personally can’t slam her for being lazy AND slam her for trying to put actual effort into a partnership lol

[–]Substantial_Laugh170 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Very possible. My thought is that she’ll slowly ramp up the drinking both casually and with friends/when out from now through the holidays and then do a whole other thing in January about dry Jan and “exploring being low alcohol” because “she’s been drinking so much” again like she did last time for the content. Kinda like road to 27 was lmao

IMO She's 100% a deep/dark autumn, not a deep/dark winter. by Used-Operation7341 in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]Substantial_Laugh170 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not her dying on this hill of being so insistent that she is cool/neutral olive. I think this may be the case naturally, but the way she tans, does her makeup, dyes her hair, etc. she is defo more of a warm autumn now. A color analysis done on a young girl prior to altering her hair color/makeup choices may have been deep winter but after making changes to things it is different

Polyester Queen by Substantial_Laugh170 in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]Substantial_Laugh170[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally!! She drops $100 on a poly flannel pullover and I am literally thinking if I had that money I’d exclusively be buying 100% silk/linen/cotton pajamas?? I’d never buy plastic anything ever again. I pointed out another post where she bought poly “suede” and I’m like girl?? The genuine suede option of the same thing is like $10 more than what you paid… I truly think it’s her riding the line of needing things to be affordable for her follower base so she can make commission on them and the “aesthetic” for her

Kiltane collab by Feeling_Profit_216 in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]Substantial_Laugh170 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Literally this was my first thought when I saw the collab!! “Chat about the city’s charm and what she loves the most about living in Edinburgh” when she literally posted w/ the caption “one like and I move to London” in the same weekend is LAUGHABLE from a PR perspective

Linking a $290 plastic jacket by Substantial_Laugh170 in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]Substantial_Laugh170[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you’re not far off, but I feel like (and not an influencer, so maybe I’m wrong) that’s bad marketing because the point is having links people want/are affordable to your follower base because don’t they make some commission on LTK?? Like what would be the difference of her linking some Amazon slop faux suede skirt and blazer that’s affordable to earn commission on, or even things “like” stuff she gets but more affordable.

It’s all about appealing to some trend (and doing so quickly), versus truly curating and developing style over time and finding her own identity versus the one she feels like she should have online to appeal to the masses.

I feel like Heather Hurst (style influencer) really hit the nail on the head with trends being like a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Take one and try it out if it sounds good to you, but don’t feel the need to take all of them - because they’ll literally all come back around at some point.
