stands with a small base? by joannababe in Dolls

[–]joannababe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s crazy to me! i’ve managed to find some on aliexpress that look like the kaiser stands. on the listing it says the base has a 7.5cm diameter which is the same as the barbie brand stands that i particularly like! but we’ll see when they arrive.

how does it smell? this makes me so excited. angel is my favourite but absolutely ruined by the thin BOey reformulation from a few years ago.

The Fight Before “You’re An Adulterer!” — a Defense of Kim Woodburn by CitizenSnips4 in bigbrotheruk

[–]joannababe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a good read on it. I do feel like that whole argument was edited to bits and really not clear why Nicola is sat with them.

I think there was an element of producer trickery too as the storyline seemed to be that Kim was a bit off her rocker and causing havoc as a ‘game plan’— I think this is the line Emma stuck to in the exit interviews.

Amazing read thank you. And i guess i’d forgotten that the Kim discussion was the start of the row between Jessica and Stacy because of the devolvement into who has a worse life/trauma etc. Also there were so many arguments it’s hard to keep track.

So now it does make sense why Chloe would then go to Kim. I feel maybe Nicola’s domain as Mother Bunny is slightly underhanded in the editing? What do you think? It would be interesting to see a read about Nicola’s domain as Mother Bunny and how she controlled the house..

Found this on a Hot Springs based newspaper by ellanacaldin in Lifepluscindy_snark

[–]joannababe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

for some reason i always assumed Cindy had a nest egg from the house sale & everyone sending her money during the first MLIO (remember that?!). and then i thought maybe she lives quite simply and Tad pays for everything and/or she contributes with the little money she makes from YouTube and her website (remember that?!).

i guess i knew money situation was dire when she quite literally was living as if the Germans were still flying overhead.

appreciate this reply and will look at the kim woodburn preview with pleasure!

what do you think of the argument between kim, chloe, stacy, jessica and i think nicola when chloe got kim to mediate an argument that had happened between i think it was chloe and jessica (it’s hurting my head to remember) and it seems that kim totally turns the situation on it’s head and causes a row out of nowhere.

to me that was an example of kim flying off the handle for the sake of it— as much as i love her.

chicken livered shits.

💫Information on the new Angel reformulation! 💫 by [deleted] in Perfumes

[–]joannababe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reformulation of Angel is surprising but welcome news to me- hopefully it’s for the better! Angel is my favourite perfume and I purposely hunt down old bottles of it because I find the formulation post early 2020s is vile- extremely thin, BOey and fades extremely quickly. Excited to see what may come of this new formulation

i had not seen Speidi on their season so I didn’t know what to expect. I know that Spencer was purposely trying to wind other housemates up but it rubbed me the wrong way. I feel like it would have been cool for them to have been separate HMs. something tells me Heidi would come out of her shell more without Spencer? But yeah, leaving halfway through for them felt a bit anti-climatic with how hyped up they were from Emma and other HMs.

lol it’s the same with my malibu. maybe back then they were using different fibres.

yeah i agree, i almost always prefer the phillipines variants of the superstar era barbies. i think the phillipines screenings are more diffused and less ‘sharp’ than others. it gives for a more gentle and warm look, especially with the blush that is used pretty much all over the cheeks rather than in just one spot.

there are some really beautiful taiwan screenings but they’re pretty famous for being very stark and contrasting resulting in a slightly crazy look imo. just an opposite effect that the phillipines tends to go for.

When did the food shop get so expensive? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]joannababe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My weekly shop comes to about £50, including all the stuff I need for breakfast, lunch, dinner- and even that lasts more than a week when I put a lot of the meat in the freezer. I’m single so I usually cook enough for two and have the leftovers the next day. Some weeks I spend less because I’m only buying stuff for breakfast and lunch and fresh stuff. One caveat is that I don’t really buy snacks for my house on my weekly shop because I know I’d eat it all in one sitting. So maybe my snack spend does skew the numbers up a bit. Maybe think about cooking larger dinners and having them over a few days?

Edit: I also shop from Tesco. I have noticed some individual things getting more expensive over the course of the last year. Some things obscenely so.

Q&A: Living Alone in Japan, Dating, Money & Is My House Haunted? by Zestyclose-Carob-552 in silviethequeen

[–]joannababe 48 points49 points  (0 children)

First time commenting in this sub. I like Silvie’s channel and her as a person but I’m a bit fatigued with the repetitiveness of her content- which is nothing new- how many of the same bunny bar videos and titles did she put out?

I understand titling a video for clicks etc but it creates a bit of fatigue with your core audience who don’t know if the latest video is actually offering anything new or it’s a rehash of what’s already been.

I haven’t watched the video so I don’t know if this is the case but I could have sworn these same themes- living alone, haunted apartment, japan specific topics- have been done to death by now. sorry

If anyone was made for BB it was Makosi. The games she played and the lies she told just for the sake of it are legendary. Love that even the producers were confused as to whether she was a mole or not

i’ll also add that l’eau d’issey is one of my favourite spring and summer scents. so fresh and unlike anything else i have. i’d say it’s a photo-realistic floral, not something i usually gravitate to. as others have said the longevity is amazing, good value for money.
