Hi everyone,

West Barn Co have some really great beauty products which I love. They are offering a 65% discount code but the code is the answer to a riddle which I just can’t figure out! Any one able to help me out?

What a star.
Oh the Fame!
I must be myself,
except for my name.
Liverpool and Manchester,
It came to me.
2011, it was set free.

Is this football related by any chance?

raspberrycordial · 02/06/2021 17:52

My guess would be referee

Is it Selfridges or Birmingham? I think it’s got something to do with them being stocked in a shop?

Not Selfridges or Birmingam. The brand wasn’t set up til 2016 so i don’t think it’s about them!

My final guess is sting and that is a long shot Grin

Could it be to do with social media? Instagram or Twitter? I must be myself except for my name?

I’ve tried social media names but nothing is working. So frustrating!

Does Fame start with a capital letter in the riddle? Is that significant?

Also, is it related to Pride given its Pride month?

Yes Fame is capitalised. I thought it might have been to do with film but can’t find anything. ‘Fame’ also doesn’t work as the code

Liverpool and Manchester are in the NE
Free schools started in 2011

Could be a word ending in NE the school ?

savvy7 · 02/06/2021 18:39

NW not NE!

OxanaVorontsova · 02/06/2021 18:39

No they’re not in the NE

Miseryisabutterfly · 02/06/2021 18:40

Definitely something pride related given the timing!

AdultingAvoidance · 02/06/2021 18:42

Sorry. Yes NW. the E is next to the W. A typo

Could it be Harvey Nicholls or beauty bazaar?

SausageRoll2020 · 02/06/2021 19:00

Could it be anything to do with Lady Gaga?
I Must be Myself is a lyric from Born This Way and she does perform under a false name

Probably clutching at straws as not sure what she has to do with a soap company 😂

SausageRoll2020 · 02/06/2021 19:01

A bit more googling suggests she also had an album called The Fame monster
