As Ever #2 Whatever

I noticed the old thread is almost full so thought we could start a new one to carry on the discussion about the rebrand and merching.

Are you an ‘As Ever’ or ‘Whatever’?

@DuchessDissasster I scarcely dare say this but I agree with Meghan about using little lamps IF by that she means normal table lamps / side lamps I do think it makes things cosier , especially if entertaining . BUT CAVEAT if she is talking specifically about a children's party then overhead lights perfectly OK and possibly completely necessary if it's dark outside and you need to see the little rascals properly.

But , full disclosure, my credo is table lamps/ side lights pretty much all the time not just entertaining ( except obvious places kitchen bathroom etc where you need to see what you are doing ) . I learned this at my mother's knee . If we were in the sitting room with the overhead light on she would go round turning on the table lamps whilst saying - why have you got the big light on and then switch it off .

Now, such is my fanciness, I have a 5amp circuit where I can turn all the table lamps on at once in my sitting room. Behold my lifestyle genius 😂

Edited to add - I actually bored myself there 😂

I agree with you but it is so commonplace. Only psychos use overhead lights. 😂😂" It's like the Blackpool illuminations in here" was how I was raised. I hate " big lights" with a passion but this is not something amazing ! What is Mindy on ? 😂

I'm a bit late to the party reading about any of this. Can someone explain what connection she has to that sensual cookbook from earlier in the thread?

Meghan wanted to use the name SPOON ME FORK ME several years ago for a company before she settled on the Tig.

Not only is it vulgar but pinched from someone else - AS EVER.

And if you think you know what fork me means , it's worse. Look in the urban dictionary .

@BasiliskStare @LaMarschallin

What have you done? Out there furnished & burnished by bright Cali sun..
What imaginative jams you made for our tea
You’ll always win if it’s you against me

Our homely chickens cluck as we walk
And swing by the mansion, buried in talk
And cool the hall that welcomes us in
To strawberries, preserves & secret copious gin…

Netflix are waiting, your table lights in the hall
The pictures of Diana are bright on the wall
My sweet I am filming (!) beside the oak stair
And there on the landing, subtle light on your hair

Around us are staff and nannies afar
Above us shines our sparkling north star
And here in front the only girl of my choice
With the grace of her pose & the chime of her voice…

And the scent of the candles, and the words too many said
And the ominous, ominous filming ahead
We sat in the borrowed kitchen til twenty to one
Oh when dear, by heck will it all be done?

@User14March That is brilliant! Humorous yet poignant. 👏👏👏

One of the Kennedy's had their marriage annulled. The ex appealed and won. She also wrote a book about it.

Hyacinth ( Patricia Routeledge was 96 a few days ago .
Apologies for derail.
( I loved Keeping Up Appearances)

I loved it too.

But just realised that Meghan and hyacinth are not too dissimilar!! They even both have the relatives they're ashamed of!

I can't unthink this now! Meghan will forever be hyacinth! (though even hyacinth didn't public dis and the disown the relatives she was ashamed of. She was still caring about them)...

On the Gwyneth thing - I suspect she followed the As Ever NYC Instagram by mistake (thinking it was Meghan’s brand) but I may be wrong!

I'm not sure there is a smoking gun with the press but more that the US media has turned. So much has been made that the nasty British press is responsible for all their negativity. the press seemed to do the right thing the last few months and left them alone and even some positive reporting. The majority of the coverage now appears to be repeating of already printed stuff from the US. None of this can be laid at the feet of the British public this is their own doing and the mighty US who according to Harry had no tabloids.

Don't worry, there was a poster on here earlier this week claiming that all the poor publicity in the US is actually written by ex-pat Brits or UK-linked authors controlled by the royal family.
So it's all our fault still!

Bravo! 👏
Brilliant! My compliments <chef's kiss>

@User14March In. Awe. I salute you!

This morning there is an As ever mood board on her Instagram. Cue a million articles dissecting everything on it!

I don’t think I so, she’s made it obvious she doesn’t support Meghan in the past. Can’t remember what it was though!

On Reddit someone has been able to figure out that Delphina liked one of the As Ever instagram posts in 2023.

I just saw that, looks like she has a bloody shrine to herself,

This is really unhinged shit.

It looks like a pretty standard mod board to me. I just question the wisdom of putting it in the public domain.

How, before the MM stuff happen, the last post was October 2023- the number of likes for the older posts have gone up since MM as people look to support the page. I can't see how someone would know (not saying they isn't a way, just interested how)

I do not think Gwyneth Paltrow accidentally followed asevernyc, everything is curated and controlled on a well run SM page.

Are these boards still a thing ?

Probably not but Meghan is always a bit behind the zeitgeist with what she does.

LunaNorth · 21/02/2025 08:56

Mood boards! She really is Amanda!

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 21/02/2025 08:58

Just had a quick look. Not sure what it’s meant to be, but it looks like she’s printed off some pictures of herself and some anodyne sayings and stuck them on a board. I don’t know how these things work, but it looks a bit sparse, especially if you think the nauseating sayings have been printed off to fill gaps in actual content. It’s probably my lack of understanding when it comes to ‘elevating’ things, however.

Thedom · 21/02/2025 09:00

I think mood boards have morphed into vision boards (possibly)

Farm fresh eggs on a vision board / mood board, in her calligraphy? images from her old Tig blog, silly Pinterest quotes. It's all totally bizarre .
