As Ever #2 Whatever

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

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’?

Ah okay, so it's possible she like a post from 2023, I have no clue about these things.

I also don't think Gwyneth accidentally liked their account.

Am I the only child who snorted at ‘Carrots two ways’?

I suspect the point of the post is the big reveal of the “As Ever” jam labels and the linen fabric cover for a jam jar lid. And a lot of photos from The Tig to remind us that she’s always been into food and cooking. And a piece of artwork by Archie as Kate showed art by her kids this week. And a picture of her and Harry kissing because they are the love story for the ages….or something.

Another critical piece yesterday from Laineygossip, two days in a row !!

"Yesterday I wrote about the As Ever naming snafu and several outlets are now picking up the story, including The Hollywood Reporter. This isn’t some Daily Mail “gotcha” moment, it’s a real issue, and I suspect that New York outlets (particularly ones with journalists who are familiar with the As Ever NYC brand) will doing a more comprehensive story soon.

There’s also another issue, apparently with the coat-of-arms style design, which looks very similar to the coat of arms of Majorca. The Meghan Markle As Ever Slack channel must be pretty tense today. "

Stylish boiler suits made with recycled fabric is very much what I imagine Gwyneth genuinely liking, by the way! She’d look great in them.

'As Ever Slack' someone should have seen the issue with using as ever.

Genuinely, how do most people think this is going to end? She is totally incapable of reading the room, taking stock, reflecting on past mistakes or listening to anyone else . It isn't going to get better, so what is going to happen?

I can't really imagine M carrying her mood board on one shoulder while cycling to her 'colab'!

I have no idea, @Aloeveraplants . However, no doubt it'll be the fault of the British Press, the Royal Family, and the racist UK.

I looked on Twitter at the mood board it's always the same thing that Meghan and Harry suffer from, it the extreme reaction from the love bombing of the modern day mother Theresa and the mood board is going to save lives to the detractors who believe she nothing more than a grifter. It's all just toxic. It's a sample board, I'd prefer no inspirational messages but nothing to loose brain cells over.

This is the only reason why I think divorce.

Meghan has been ruthless to get to the top, she is the ultimate social climber, and I think it's possible she will see a divorce and painting H as the problem. (He was so controlling, I wasn't even allowed to call him Harry...)

Completely agree, Vespanest, but as said before this is what happens when the dominoes start crashing down. Of course it's all got to be someone else's fault (as ever) but good luck mewling about that in the US

As for "why isn't Harry getting some of the blame", he is - at least for his own choices - but just as I wouldn't pile the blame on Meghan for those I won't do it in reverse
Not that he appears to have the sense to appreciate what she's doing wrong anyway ...

I wondered about that when I watched the Oprah interview.
She had suicide ideation when pregnant, and instead of getting her help, he made her dress up and go to the Albert Hall.

But I think she said on Oprah that Harry told her she didn't have to go, but she told him she wasn't safe to stay home alone. (I think that is the gist of it anyway)

No. <Hangs head in shame, yet sniggering>

Apparently - because I can no longer verify as the account is private, aseverphotography used this mood board yesterday prior to Meghan's being posted.

I thought they would be divorced long ago. Still that's how it will end. I can't see how doing a third rate cookery show will be very satisfying. It's very fake and forced.

The As Ever Jam label looks like a hospital tag.

Meghan has already front loaded the blame on the RF if this venture fails - by claiming it's something she's not been able to do for the last 5 years. She'll claim that, if only she'd been able to continue with The Tig, she'd have had continuity of profile/products and remained fresh and up to date, and would have developed her brand into something akin to GooP. So it's not her fault she's having to play catch up now and having slip ups, it's all on the nasty, suppressive, toxic RF.

Lest we forget, the Tig only ran for a year or so, and it was closed by 2018.

It's hard to read, but the bottom part says (in case anyone needs to know):

'Since Meghan Markle/Netflix started using my biz name of 10+ years, the least they could do is maybe hire me as brand photographer'

@Viviennemary @RecoIIectionsMayVary I see someone of Tyler Perry wealth, a white knight in the wings, poss a film producer as someone said upthread. How hard to come by though? Elderly ish billionaire?

Has each relationship she’s had effectively been a wealth & status upgrade?

So 18 months of The Tig, 18 months as a working royal. What's her excuse for not doing this for the last 5 years since they left?

That excuse won't work for the vast majority.

Farm fresh eggs? So are the eggs not from her own chickens?

Carrots two ways?

Home cooked or produced produce was never on the table, she won't have the capacity to make the money she needs. I wish she'd be honest about all this.

She says the last few years as if she’s only just moved to California. 🙄 No explanation from her as to what she means by that, so she is hoping we infer she means she was constrained by the RF and is only free to do what she wants now. She takes us all for idiots. Thankfully people can sense her BS a mile away now as this isn’t 2020 anymore.

If you watch her Instagram videos on mute her facial expressions reek of performance and fakery. I don’t see how she can ever be a success if that success is reliant on her personality and character, because they are very much lacking.
