Just thought I’d start this thread. If someone else has done so simultaneously let me know!

Castle’s posts, desperate for engagement

thebottingrambler · 26/04/2023 11:15

Been catching up on these posts - what happening with Yawn? Why is she not part of the amazing team?? They all used to do things together and share posts etc?
Especially with ex-bff - they were joined at the hip - constantly - what happened between them to fall out so spectacularly??

fromdownwest · 26/04/2023 11:33

Imagine spending all that time and money to take your family half way across the world. To then leave the sunshine and beach to sit in a room waving a flag for 3 days, and portray that as a lifestyle to want to acheive!

Fools

Top Malachite FM Bot (I think she was known as Soft Focus bot due to her heavily filtered photos with brown spots all over them) is moving to a house costing over a million today - I know the price because I found the listing before she completed.
Her current house seems quite modest - has she really made it and doesn't need to fake it? She's boasting £37k a week earnings. Is this possible for a Top Bot?

PieonaBarm · 26/04/2023 11:45

Maybe the enforced loneliness and mean girl atmosphere with Yawn being alienated will drive her back to drink and one margarita later she'll have a pissed up rant in her Insta stories. We can only dream!!

Long time follower of these threads and looking forward to seeing what Bali brings (or doesn’t….!). Quick question, is Temple Spa an MLM? It looks and feels like one but they say on their website they’re not. I keep seeing them around quite a lot.

meatbaseddessert · 26/04/2023 12:03

@northdownsouth7 yes Templw Spa is an MLM though they like to think they’re a cut above the usual MLM because “the products are sold in Harrods”.

On their website it says you can become a lifestyle consultant or an ambassador. I couldn’t see the difference between these two titles except that an ambassador has “the opportunity to grow” which I think is the code for recruitment. I’ve certainly had some pushy DMs from a couple of reps in recent times which were focussed on the opportunity rather than the products.

Is it time to ask yawn "are you OK hun"??

NormalForNuneaton · 26/04/2023 14:07

Sugarplum48 · 26/04/2023 08:11

Yawns radio silence must be down to the fact she's alone. Hubby at home with the kids. The daughter will still need taking to college. Sons gf gave away the fact they are home!! Yawn won't be impressed with that slip up. How very sad for her.

I think the son's girlfriend has only mentioned the son being at home, nothing about her DH or DD.

TBH I've never seen Yawn without her DH in her nearest towns and city (I'm local to her) let alone in a foreign country!!

Its odd how every time I see them its like he's her chauffeur (eg.waiting in the white Rangey in the "Loading Only" zone opposite her hairdressers to pick her up)

Norma27 · 26/04/2023 14:19

Yawns latest posts. She isn’t there at all is she?

Sugarplum48 · 26/04/2023 14:31

It's common knowledge that yawns hubby is literally nothing more than her lapdog trailing after her and pandering to her every neurotic need. He's what you call a yes mam. Genuinely think he's scared of her and her vicious nature.

Norma27 · 26/04/2023 14:19

Yawns latest posts. She isn’t there at all is she?

I think she is there, but she's made such a rod for her own back with all the lies - taking a holiday beforehand in loads of different luxury pads; taking the whole family etc etc. The reality of her being there, on her own, and with no mates and an 18 hour flight back in two days has probably subdued her in a most uncharacteristic way. The only people who she seems to hang out with now are her upline and Uber, neither of whom are there, and as a PP said, if ex-BFF has commandeered the previous friendship group then she's stuffed.

YouOKHun · 26/04/2023 14:52

@fitgirl26 if Soft focus bot really is making that sort of profit for herself on a consistent basis I’d be surprised. What I find most surprising is that if she is accumulating that much money and has been doing so for more than a year then why doesn’t she have any Companies House presence at all (as far as I can see)? One of her posts talked about paying a tax bill so presumably it’s not all under her mattress? The husband doesn’t seem to have any obvious work and has no presence anywhere either.

Like a lot of these MLM glitzy success stories it doesn’t quite hang together does it? I know her neck of the woods and there are rich pickings for MLM recruiters so I can see how she could have done well. I hate to think how many people have been financially annihilated for her to accumulate money. It’s possible she’s done well but it might well be a flash in the pan. She wouldn’t be the first upline to flash the new house etc only for it to go tits up a few months later.

Check out Castle's ex-BFFs Insta stories. The one where she pans across the room/stage.

Is that the lesser spotted Yawn holding her phone up right at the end as the camera pans round to the left?

Sugarplum48 · 26/04/2023 15:00

I'm fairly sure yawn is there. Her fb story the other day showed she was in a hotel room and ex BFF had shown her room also which looked very similar. Oh too be a mosquito on a wall out there right now!!!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/04/2023 15:01

I think you're right @NormalForNuneaton

YouOKHun · 26/04/2023 15:13

@NormalForNuneaton yes I think so and is the man standing close to her in the blue shirt Mr Yawn? Yawn has posted a series of shots of product announcements and from the angle she’s taken them from I’d say she is standing where she appears in BFF’s video.

It is nevertheless very peculiar behaviour for Yawn not to be milking her presence in Bali before and during the event on both her Yawn page and her Feel Fraudulent with Yawn page. I agree with @dickiedavisthunderthighs she has made a rod for her own back and I think it’s a trial for her. I also wonder if she felt she had to be there and actually she has really overstretched herself financially or emotionally because she never usually goes anywhere without Mr Yawn or people who will ‘adore’ her. However this time she’s had to cut out any luxury, travel discount style and endure the cold shoulder from others there, all stone cold sober.

Norma27 · 26/04/2023 15:32

I do think it was her and mr yawn.

NormalForNuneaton · 26/04/2023 15:34

It is odd that she's not even admitting to being there now that the rally has started. She's just posted bland photos of the stage from a distance with bland captions about new products.

What a waste of £'s (that she hasn't got) to go all that way, spend time in a conference ( albeit a conference with whoops) and not even milk the situation for posts about the country, the treats, the food, the people....

It must be tough seeing all the others having fun together posting group pool and restaurant shots and not be part of it.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/04/2023 15:45

@NormalForNuneaton Well, if she's there with just Mr Yawn and hasn't bolted on any extras (extended stay, kids...), it's not actually costing her anything, apart from the 'opt out' payment.

However, this doesn't really explain the radio silence for the last few days.

spanfan · 26/04/2023 15:48

It's her. For sure. It dawned on me that she'll probably a separate insta to show off.. that we don't know about ( yet!! 😎)

spanfan · 26/04/2023 15:52

Remember the heady days of large arenas. This is significantly smaller than what remember from Dubai.

Tupperwarelid · 26/04/2023 15:58

When an acquaintance was in FL back in the glory days they sold out the 02 arena for the global rally. This is giving off more Holiday Inn in Telford vibes.

YouOKHun · 26/04/2023 16:04

I’m banned from Yawn’s insta and was wondering if there is a different perspective from her there compared with the uncharacteristic silence on FB, but it seems not so far? Maybe there is something else big going on in her life unrelated to FLP?
