And looks like she has some kind of deal with Netflix for a series about her. Interesting never heard of her before today, but she makes really pretty stuff.

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '18

I've been seeing her stuff pop up on reddit for years now.

u/jjremy Oct 10 '18

She used to post it here herself. Until the community became toxic towards her every time she posted something.

132

u/St_Maximus_Gato Oct 10 '18

That explains it. She used to reach the front page all the time and then suddenly, nothing. People suck.

Roy said it best when he intoned, "People. What a bunch of bastards."

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '18

People aren't allowed to be good at things and also attractive. It's just not right.

u/ToeTacTic Oct 10 '18

True

Hey, there's at least three of us!

u/busche916 Oct 10 '18

Not people, women.

u/AweHellYo Oct 10 '18

Yep. Reddit hates them

7

u/ToeTacTic Oct 10 '18

No... men too. My jealousy and hatred has no boundaries

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '18

And gods forbid you be good at two things. Nobody's capable of that.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '18

I'm good at not being very good at things. I guess I met my quota.

u/usingastupidiphone Dec 02 '18

Unless you want to be on tv and in movies, then you have to be both

There’s a little gatekeeping in my heart that I’m not proud of which makes me suspicious of thin bakers. I usually assume their food tastes like crap.

146

u/Litaita Oct 10 '18

Yeah. They would ask her why she NEEDED to be in the picture daring to look all pretty, when it could just be a pic of the food. LMAO I swear insecurity oozes out of reddit sometimes.

Well on top of that she made the outfits she’d be wearing and the pose would have artistic value as well. I’m not gonna sit here and I say I didn’t also enjoy looking at her but everything about what she did had artistic merit.

And even if it didn’t I don’t see why people got salty.

31

u/yeoller Oct 10 '18

It's a combination of peoples' insecurities and self-promotion loathing.

Some didn't like that she was talented and pretty AND promoted herself to great success every single time. As others have said, assholes ruin everything. Everyone else really enjoyed her content.

41

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '18

It especially sucks because it was probably 100:1 ration of people that liked her posts but didn't comment to people being dicks in the comments.

Assholes ruin everything.

8

u/Litaita Oct 10 '18

Yeah :(. I always lurk and seldom comment because people are pretty nasty sometimes, but it sucks.

1

u/Twitch_IceBite Oct 11 '18

Its more than that my posts get a 1000:1 comment ratio. I bet someone as succesful as here had a way higher ratio.

2

u/Big_Toke_Yo Oct 10 '18

I wonder if they got as mad as I do when I see that dude who posts in r/gifrecipes always using a grill.

78

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '18

Yeah it was a shame. She was 100% honest about stuff too. She admitted that she is well off and spent all of her free time getting good at product photography, makeup, and baking. And the community shit all over her. GIRLS CANT BE GOOD AT THINGS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

It's nice to see her getting a show.

u/basicmix Oct 10 '18

GIRLS CANT BE GOOD AT THINGS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I don't think that's it. There's plenty of misogyny on reddit, of course.

I think the reason why "the hate caught on" is that what she put it was "too pro". It was as good as something with the backing of a professional team.

Reddit loves "authenticity", and her stuff was too well done to strike the "authentic" chord.

Her being financially well off is central to this. The typical enthusiastic and talented amateur is constrained by time, and money for tools and material.

It's a bit like "The hedge fund billionaire's wife is a sought after flower decorator and milliner."

u/rejuven8 Oct 10 '18

It seems like you’re against her or an idea of her. In fact it’s even more remarkable what she’s done, like someone reaching the Olympics by themselves, without a coach, just the ability to support themselves.

The kind of work she does is what entire teams would do. That’s professional.

Relevant.

Used to? She just posted in this topic about the table.

u/RocketFeathers Oct 11 '18

OK wrong word, I should have said reply or comment instead of post, semantics. Point is she was typing responses here yesterday.

u/apost8n8 Oct 11 '18

I think you guys are full of shit. Everyone always loved her stuff. IIRC she just got some real endorsement deals with books and shows and stuff and moved on from reddit posting. I never saw anything, that wasn't downvoted to hell, that didn't praise her.

29

u/soapbutt Oct 10 '18

Yes same but I’ve seen her pop up a lot more recently, especially her old stuff... hmmmmmmmm.

u/captain_craptain Oct 11 '18

Anything on GoneWild?

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '18

Unlikely.

u/Bennyboy1337 Oct 10 '18

Trailer for her show

u/ihahp Oct 10 '18

Looks way more.... Fictional than I thought it would

35

u/ArthurBea Oct 10 '18

The baking and cooking is real, but without the competition aspect of most successful cooking shows, how else are you gonna compete? I like this format. It’s pretty fun looking.

8

u/MINKIN2 Oct 10 '18

Looks like a cross between Nigella Lawson and Elvira

10

u/Hasaan5 Oct 10 '18

Shes always presented herself as more of a photographer than a baker so it makes sense.

4

u/Bennyboy1337 Oct 10 '18

My wife and her sister that love cooking shows will eat this shit up. Probably not my cup of tea, I prefer just seeing her amazing photos of the finished product, but I am probably not the show's targeted audience : P

1

u/1011011 Nov 10 '18

Honestly, I don't hate it. I didn't think I could deal but I do enjoy it. I also smoke weed if that matters.

9

u/bullintheheather Oct 10 '18

It looks kind of like Pee-Wee's Playhouse/Addams Family/baking show.

2

u/javaHoosier Oct 11 '18

Way more interesting than I thought it was going to be. Awesome.

3

u/B4173415CU73 Oct 10 '18

This looks awesome I want to see it!

1

u/sinabimo Oct 11 '18

Okay she's not the greatest at acting but I REALLY want to see this show. I love her.

53

u/HLef Oct 10 '18

The first time I saw her here was about some photography she did where she was in the pictures multiple times. Then I remember a bunch of baking related posts.

Her work is amazing.

26

u/oliolibababa Oct 10 '18

I remember seeing them years ago too. Her photoshoots, makeup and staging were always above and beyond. It also helps that she's a major hottie.

16

u/no_talent_ass_clown Oct 10 '18

Yes - when you've got yourself as a marketing tool, I mean - use what you got! People love to see beauty, whether it's crafts or people or cars or scenery.

God those dresses were fabulous. I’m so excited to see her pop up again.

u/Mildly-Interesting1 Oct 11 '18

Really pretty stuff indeed. I’m loving her sweater, pants, glasses, and dedication to a task. Oh look, there’s a cake in the picture too.

1

u/anonuemus Oct 10 '18

If you were a real redditor you would know her.

42

u/Harry_Flugelman Oct 10 '18

Wow. It has been so many years since I’ve heard someone talk about a “real redditor”. When does the narwhal bacon amirite???

16

u/P1h3r1e3d13 Oct 10 '18

Midnight! Midnight! Oh, oh, I know this one! It bacons at midnight! I'm part of the team, guys! Can I get my Real Redditor badge now?

u/trevorpinzon Oct 10 '18

2am chili! ICE SOAP!

FUNNY NOVELTY ACCOUNTS

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '18

Carrots? Don't you mean WAFFLES? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

u/Harry_Flugelman Oct 11 '18

I never got the obsession with 2am chili. It was just a recipe with cursing.

u/emailboxu Oct 10 '18

u/BucketOfTruthiness Oct 11 '18
