Is that the contestant famous for saying "Who is she"?

Re: RIP Nikki Grahame (38)
 

Yes, Anorexia claimed another victim.


My niece has this, but seems to have overcome those demons with the help of counselling, but she was very, very close to being admitted to hospital herself.

Re: RIP Nikki Grahame (38)
 

Oh dear, I never knew that she had anorexia.

Good to know that your niece looks to be overcoming this.

Very sad -- Only 38???

:(

A little fame and media promoting false body image. Tragic indictment to the 21st century and modern culture

Re: RIP Nikki Grahame (38)
 

It's very sad that someone so young has died, but I thought she was an awful person based on what i saw on TV.

Re: RIP Nikki Grahame (38)
 

That is the whole point. TV made her into that person. Big Brother for a start and then being a minor celeb and media. It is basic psychology.
Jade Goody is another prime example but she pulled it around before she sadly died of cancer

Advertisers and social media 'influencers', making the world a better place by making those difficult choices for us . . . like what we should wear, the hairstyle we need, the music we should listen to, the lotions/creams/make-up etc that will make us skint a better person ;)

Our bathroom is full of overpriced garbage that would make a Boots store look like a small market stall . . :rolleyes:

Annoys me that half the influencers can not turn mirror off on their selfie camera

Re: RIP Nikki Grahame (38)
 

And it's all so false isn't it, telling people how wonderful a product is when they've probably never used it in their life.

I believe the standards agency? have now insisted on the inclusion of things like 'part of a paid promotion' or 'sponsored by' etc . . . not that it makes much difference to those who blindly follow them.

Re: RIP Nikki Grahame (38)
 

Influencers have it great though don't they. Get 50K plus followers of YouTube and whatever you are promoting you get hordes of it free. Look at all these Mobile Phone reviewers, all they do is read a spec sheet and say if they like the camera or not and play a game and they get nearly every new phone thrown at them ( yeah I am jealous I do not have the charisma to pull it off )

And that pewdipie or what ever worth millions and I really do not get why

Re: RIP Nikki Grahame (38)
 

None of them "influence" me since I dont bother with any of the mediums they use.
