Is As ever all over? Starting to feel like it.

It’s been 14 hours since the launch of the 2024 Rose. Nothing has sold out. This is despite it being designed again as a scarcity drop, so it can’t be argued she’s finally got her stock levels right.

  • As ever stated the wine launch going ‘live’ at on the 5th August. Language designed to get you to rush and buy. Just like all this SM shopping you get now.
  • Meghan put out a message many hours ago, stating that they have so much more stock (sad clapback to stuff not shifting) but hurry and be quick because it’s selling fast!!! (It’s clearly not)
  • This launch however, has attracted very little press compared to previous drops

The scarcity gimmick is already tired and because she’s been absent from SM for 2 months…save for a few stock images/videos- she’s lost any momentum she had. She’s putting in bare minimum and her customer base feel it. She’s checked out.

There’s been talk of another series of WLM 3 and Meg getting a new NF contract, but I think that is just to fill the void until she can get WLM2 out. At which point, we will find out if there is any truth in any further deals.

The reason why I doubt WLM3, is that for continuity, you would need the same venue. But the home is now being used to to host weddings etc, it’s no longer a private rental but one open to the public to rent. There’s no way Meg would film in that location now. In addition she would need to have gotten the go ahead already for WLM3 and be filming right now to be able to stick to a schedule. The fact that it isn’t already confirmed, it’s giving the signal that WLM is over (in addition to knowing NF deal is done)

Now if WLM is over, I don’t think she has the draw to pull people to As ever. She doesn’t engage with her fan base enough, she does the bare minimum of SM posts, which she hasn’t even achieved the last few months. The Shopmy page is dead too. This is why the new wine launch has barely registered and hasn’t sold out 14 hours later. Yes, there will be more stock but it’s been designed for a sell out so there won’t be huge numbers.

As ever I think will be slowly wound down. There will be WLM2, with maybe another 18 months of drops. Then like everything else, it will be dropped quietly. Everyone is starting to get a bit bored by the half hearted, very beige effort she’s put into her ‘business’ and have tuned out.

She will have to launch yet another version of herself very soon. We’ve had actress, feminist, activist, producer, philanthropist….now female founder. God knows what’s next!

Damn, I forgot to add the funniest bit from WLM2.

She’s with a friend, making cocktails with a mixologist. She asks how the mixologist got into the business, he said he was a lawyer in NY when the cocktail renaissance happened in the early 00s and he was hooked. She asked if he ever watched Suits….he said ‘no, I don’t watch basic cable’ !!!! 😂

Wow, that's a bit cheeky, isn't it? Was Meghan amused by that?

In fairness she laughed but this was also the episode where she looked drunk throughout

BBC news website has Live commentary on Taylor’s engagement

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c36jdzk4e9lt

Poor Megs, bad day for a launch

The Taylor news is a far bigger deal than a second series of a lifestyle show few can relate to.

Meghan is celebrating on Instagram by putting small images randomly on a white (naturally) sweatshirt. Not sure why.

Scanning through those Taylor pics though... She is a fan of two-hands-on-the-face Jessica Lockhart kissing, isn't she?

She needs to do a collab with Paddington!

Shed better not come for Paddington! That's a step too far!!

IAmATorturedPoet · 26/08/2025 19:34

MM really does have the worst timing. On the day her new series launches up pops Taylor and breaks the internet 😂

Congrats to the happy couple🥂

lol at the sweatshirts! Who would want one of those off her? I think she has too much rose left over .

They do seem a bit randomly decorated but it may be what everyone is wearing these days.

Meg had previously crowed with WLM

“For more recipes, fun and reasons to ‘Mmmm,’ check out the show — which in just 24 hours is already in the Top 10!” she wrote. “Thank you to all of you around the world who are tuning in!”

Ouch…not happening this time round is it?

"They also called it "boring, contrived and effortfully whimsical"

For years I've struggled to verbalise my antipathy to my brother-in-law. I've had a lightbulb moment reading that ⬆️ Describes him perfectly, especially the "effortfully whimsical" bit :)

😂😂😂this can be added to the list but at least this is a positive thing ( I hope 😂) unlike Covid and LA fires.

Especially since reports say they got engaged weeks ago. Meghan does have the worst luck, doesn’t she? 😬

jamnpancakes · 26/08/2025 21:21

Jesus I just looked and she's sticking things on a sweatshirt 🤷‍♀️ what the hell is that and dancing ?

jamnpancakes · 26/08/2025 21:23

There's that fake smile again about her " husband " the nameless one.

Harry has been demoted from Harry Prince of the Realm to the one whose name must not be spoken !

Is As ever all over? Starting to feel like it.

And there's Lili again.

She's the high Duchess of mediocrity.

AtIusvue · 26/08/2025 21:51

Looks like a WLM symbol sweatshirt.

She could be having a watch party and she’s making the hostages matchy outfits …..or maybe sending crew members a playful gift, through the lens of community action, to show up for them? ……Or something equally cringe.

What is that? Giant card or a mirror 🤔

WeightLossGoal2024 · 26/08/2025 22:37

The “my husband” and “my wife” thing is weird.

FitatFifty · 26/08/2025 22:53

I find her utterly bizarre. How much of a career can you built around having this ‘perfect love/marriage’ thing she tries to sell. More stories about first dates and when they fell in love. It’s just not that interesting (or truthful).

I think a photo of the dog.

Thedom · 26/08/2025 23:14

Just saw a snippet of her recounting that Harry told her he loved her on the 3rd date, and he was the first one to say it. Her expression and the way she responded was bizarre,,as if it was something she had secured in a raffle, like she was victorious at something, not in the least bit affectionate or romantic. Plus her teeth are terrifying in the clip.
