agreed. I wish she would have just bought the tig back.

What is happening I want so badly to be entertained and this is just things I posted in 2010 or whenever we first got filters.

The link doesn’t work for me, so I’ll comment once I’ve seen the site and it’s had a chance to grow. “Empty as a brand” seems like an odd criticism for something not fully launched— so just generally, I’d see if there’s anything there that grabs my interest, and check in again once something is more fully fledged.

The BRF made her shut down her previous Instagram and blog.

Of all things, what we really need is another luxury lifestyle brand? This is silly. They talk about service and charity, and do this? She is very desperate for attention and status.

I guess it's not really appropriate which is a shame. Her old tig archive were a fun read.

That's a really dumb name. Still not exactly sure what it is, but whatever it is, it's a dumb name.

There is already a high-end Montecito brand: Goop.

Right and it’s just as cringe.

I am not saying this as a dig, but I assume they need to generate some revenue and that is the primary purpose.

I meant "empty" because she hasn't really positioned herself as a housewares maven. It just seems like an industry the PR team chose and they slapped it together. When I think of Meghan, I don't think of jam, tableware and kitchen linens. I didn't know this was an interest of hers. Seems like a modern day QVC/Kathy Ireland type of set-up to sell stuff.

So she's trying to be Joanna Gains?

I dont get it.

Is she allowed to use the duchess of sussex if they gave up titles?

I actually really like her, but this is getting annoying.
