As Ever Part 7 - Whatever, however, whenever with edible flowers on top

[TheWayTheLightFalls]

New thread as the previous one is full!

Another excuse for him to abdicate responsibility for his own actions.

No idea but there are two subsets of ADD. Hyper active attention deficit and inattentive attention deficit. My son has inattentive attention deficit.

We'll there are three really as you have a combination of inattentive and hyper active too.

@BasiliskStare - I agree with you - I don’t think Meghan is necking cocktails at 9am, but rather showing she’s fun, fun, fun. She’s always doing that sort of dance move with her arms up, and clapping.

All this “love” for guests rather backfires imo. Dh and I were watching and saying we’d feel under constant pressure if we were round at Meghan’s to be incredibly grateful and woe betide the hapless guest who failed to properly appreciate the bathtime teabag.

We have all 3 of the ADHD types going on here at home but it’s never crossed my mind to think anything like that about Harry and you’d think it would have been picked up on when he was growing if it is the case.

The shit keeps on coming - Michelin star chef Jameson Stocks offered his criticism of the show and he's now received death threats. He was the one who claimed he was offered an interest in a show by Netflix agents which sounds like Meghan's show and he declined it. It has been denied that he was offered this which makes it even worse - death threats for criticism?

Richard Corrigan has also commented.

WTAF? What is wrong with these people?

Didn't Harry get diagnosed with ADHD or Autism on a pay per view interview with some psychologist?

The Sussex Squad are deadly, the poor chef, I saw an interview with a journalist who wrote a negative article about MM and he said not only did he get death treats, his wife and family did too.

And the you have Meghan Markle rounding up these superfans up and egging them on.

I think Meghan looks very different now and a lot less attractive,, I know it's 10 years since she came on the scene with Harry but she now looks harsh and almost masculine.

I agree the booze filled show is a precursor to her launching some alcohol line, and I agree she often acts totally pumped up and over excitable which does make you think she is possibly on cocaine or something, if she is using drugs it could also explain the weight loss.

I have to admit, I'm not one for criticism of looks or clothing.
I don't care what she looks like , I just think she is an awful, liar.

She is definitely using some kind of weight loss medication. She has an Ozempic face.

I think looks are relevant for the simple reason she has always placed so much store upon her looks. To a self-conscious extent that doesn’t affect all attractive women, who seem much less fazed and more natural about it e.g. Gwyneth Paltrow as an example. I guess MM is not going to look as stunning* as she once did. But she is still only 43, and from where I’m standing that’s quite young to take on the beige suburban mom look! She’s still has got some of the easy good looks (look y’ all – no make-up – I don’t even have to try!) but also looks drawn and overly thin at times.

PS. I think it’s interesting that some people think she was very attractive (and I am one of them), but others don’t think so particularly.

That’s really sad. She wasn’t at all overweight to start with.

Yes if she put on a stone and could genuinely relax and smile (not the forced grins) she would come across so much better. Maybe despite her TV acting career she is just not made for TV (irony).

I don’t think she’s ever been stunning. Pretty, but not beautiful or stunning.

I agree that looks are not really a thing to criticise in anyone. It’s no one’s fault how they look. However I do think criticism of her style is relevant as anyone, regardless of looks can make themselves look half decent if their style is pulled together and suits them. Meghan has taken the stealth wealth thing so far that she has become permanently bland in beige, and quite often her clothes look creased and ill fitting. If she is wanting people to aspire to her style, she should be doing better than that

She’s quite Californian generic, when I see thumbnails on the sidebar of shame I often think it’s Meghan but it’s often some other starlet with the same look or it’s Alex Scott the sports commentator! the part in the show with her 2 friends where they look like triplets just shows they all look pretty much the same in la la land.

I agree, and what is with the mega long wavy hair? For women in their forties it just seems a bit trying too hard. Nothing wrong with long hair, but it’s as if they are all conforming to a type.

@smilesy , it's just not something I'm into to be honest!
But I know others are interested in clothing so no criticism from me !
I only really mention Harry's alarming descent into baldness because he set the precedent when he brought up and smugly mentioned his brothers!
Meghans looks ! Well to me personally she looks ok , nothing special compared to all the other American actresses and celebrities, to be honest most look like clones to me 🤷‍♀️

I thought she was beautiful when she met Harry, and yes both her and Harry put a lot of emphasis on her looks, she herself has rated herself as beautiful, so people will side-eye that and comment.

Anyway, when you see her with her friends on the show, many of them wear the exact same hairstyle and clothes, it reminds me of that phase 13 year olds go through, where they go out looking matchy matchy

Re hair @LovelyJubly12 , I think her hair has always been her crowning glory (though it’s only recently that I realised that much of that was achieved through weaves; I’m so naive?). So I suppose it’s natural for some women to hold onto whatever was their most attractive features. I think her hair looks awful in this show, just these strange rat’s tales at the end. I don’t know how anyone can think that’s attractive; she will have had a stylist for the show I presume, so they may at least be partially responsible.

Is she is resorting to weightless drugs and treatments it's no wonder with the pressure placed on women in their 40s. I really dislike the worth placed on a woman's looks or individual rankings of what constitutes beauty

I must admit I do have arm envy! Meghan knows she has great arms as they’re always on show and being waved about. Apparently toned slim arms are today’s signifier of wealth as it takes so much time and money to stave off bingo wings.

She has lost significant volume in her face around the temple area. It alters her face slightly.

Her hairline is also different. So whether that’s hair loss or that she’s had her baby hairs removed I’m not sure…but losing the baby hairs makes it look like she has a receding hairline. That’s relatively recent. As in the last couple of years. Probably around the same time as all the weight loss. Dramatic weight loss can also trigger hair loss.
