Seafolly Update

In March there was an article about this influencer modelling for Seafolly (plus others). It appears things haven’t being going too well.

I’m really hoping this is the start of brands realising using attention seeking ‘influencers’ can backfire

Interesting to read that Seafolly is up for sale….

Wonderful! More sunlight on this obnoxious git who justifies using The Ladies because he wears high heels so he wouldn't be safe in The Gents!

"He previously identified with the gender-neutral pronouns of they/them, but in April confirmed that he was now comfortable using male pronouns again.

'I am so comfortable in my own skin that now I use he/him/she/her/they/them. I don't give a f**k what you call me. I'm just Deni. So they are my pronouns.'"

Please to see the Mail taking the opportunity to he/him/his Deni throughout.

How surprising! Brands are beginning to get the message that using male people to promote female apparel to women is going to be a disaster.

Trainwreckish thing.

I honestly think he thinks he is untouchable - regardless of what he does or says he thinks he has a “get out of jail free” card. Similarly to Jeff March.

I wonder if the mental health aspect that some of these people experience will start to sink in to brands looking for engaging these people. I am talking about the fact this person is threatening past employers with exposes and seems to be exhibiting narcissistic rage.

I remember watching them on ABC Q&A discussing events such as Moira Deeming’s suspension and Melbourne Let Women Speak rally thinking ‘this male person is a raving misogynist and a poor spokesperson for any community.’ The facts that were ‘dropped’ were poor quality studies and this individual’s hugely biased perspective. But the way they acted on the show enlightening.

It is things like clicking fingers and that hyped up ‘charisma’ that seems to go hand in hand with the spreading of misinformation.

I'd like to see a brand apologise to women and go back to doing what they did. I like Sea Folly a lot so (selfishly) they'd be a great brand to do this. Please no Blume-style prostrating!

Indeed. You'd think it would be obvious. Maybe it finally is now.

This.

Using and exploiting someone who is obviously not very well for their popularity and the show they will put on is a grotty way to make money, particularly as it must be equally obvious that the negative publicity will benefit the company at the expense of the person. I am not sorry that companies willing to do this are now discovering that they are not necessarily using a harmless or easy to drop resource and may get their fingers soundly burned in the process.

Another update.

Now, whether this individual flashed full exposure or just tightie whities (undies), I cannot work out.

Still, it seems that Todorivic fell foul of what many of us have done in the past in failing the dreaded Jetstar weigh in (I even had a special lightweight handbag and wallet as Jetstar weighed my leather handbag and it without anything in it was 5 kgs!). But while the rest of us find other ways to deal with it (such as wearing half your clothes through check in), Todorivic doubled down.

I suspect that promoters will not be lining up for sponsorships in the future .

And honestly, even if your undies are D&G, I don’t know that many people want to see them.

'Todorovic, 35, flashed genitals at two entertainment journalists - Confidential's Jonathan Moran and Page 13's Alice Coster - at Australian Fashion Week on Tuesday, leaving them distressed.'

Sounds pretty clear.

What a plonker

I don’t think that hiring one’s mum as manager is necessarily going to be a good thing for Todorovic. Even if she is a place to apparently rest Todorovic’s head when distressed.

I mean, many travelling with Jetstar have felt like exploding when being asked to pay for ridiculous extra baggage charges when you forget to weigh everything before leaving home. But never to the point of having to have the Australian Federal Police come and intervene.

I’ve seen some interesting outfits worn on flights, but never a huge, puffy ball gown (apparently he was channeling Carrie from Sex and the City)….

I think with some of these influencers they get so empowered by the constant attention and praise from followers that they believe they can do whatever they want when they want with no consequences. On another point I was actually surprised how small this person is considering the photo shoot for Seafolly - obviously camera angles. Even next to average size women he seemed small.

Blimey, doing shots of Limoncello as a mark of respect to Italian people? 🍋🍋

This guy's a blimmin genius isn't he 🤣

Don't make me boycott Limoncello you bastard 🍋🍋

This man is a vile misogynistic narcissist and whilst I wouldn't draw any inferences between those features and his 'non binary identity' you'd like to think brands would look a bit further than 'yass fabulous sparkles queer' when choosing people to represent them. His character has been clear for some time.

But while the rest of us find other ways to deal with it (such as wearing half your clothes through check in), Todorivic doubled down.

I think you win the internet today with this sentence @Helleofabore 😂😂

Indeed. It looks like he's unravelling in public, which is a very sad thing to watch.

Setting that sad part aside, it's a positive to see a women's clothing campaign distance itself from someone who isn't a woman. Personally, if they had marketed it as an item for men or women to celebrate that people can wear whatever they like, I'd have had no issues. A (biologically) male non-binary model seems like a great fit for that kind of campaign. But marketing it for women via a (biologically) male model is a similar level of wrong as Dylan Mulvaney and the sports bras.

Who on earth is Déni supposed to be ‘influencing’, and how?

Not only do you wear half your clothes through check in, but your pockets can be full of stuff from your handbag which has a strict allowance!!!

The Jetstar weigh in at check in are FIERCE!!!! But they told me that that cannot weigh people and cannot tell people to empty their pockets or take off their many layers of clothes!

Shame. Not.

Who on earth is Déni supposed to be ‘influencing’, and how?

At a best guess:

Who - people who are going through airport check ins
How - by thinking more laterally like Helle does, rather than wearing just a pair of knickers that has no pockets (and a frilly skirt that also has no pockets)

I was never in danger of that mistake myself. But if I was, I'd consider myself very much now "influenced".

Sounds like a slightly less degenerate Yaniv. The only reason he got bookings as an "influencer" and Yaniv didn't is that he doesn't look like Fungus the Bogeyman. Pretty-boy privilege.

Todorovic said he had been subjected to 'homophobic and racist' behaviour by staff requesting that he pay $100 for excess luggage, and subsequently wrote with black marker pen, 'Jetstar, suck my d*', across the top of both thighs.
A Jetstar representative denied staff did anything wrong.

Photographs of the incident show Todorovic with his mother, along with four police officers.

The model appeared upset and rested his head on his mother's arm. No charges were laid.
