The plastics (XX's group) have taken over the Abhorred bloggers section.
With the influx of new bloggers (some managed by NN and GC, others working for TSL), do you have any other Asian bloggers you don't like?

Re: Asian bloggers
Stella Lee/stellalee92. I don't hate but prefer not to see her around.
Doesn't have her own style, PS her photos (lightens skin, etc), mediocre makeup, dresses up and acts like whichever blogger friend she's with, wears tacky clothes when not following anyone's style, doesn't know how to put disclaimer on sponsored posts ('Company X sent me xxx', instead of stating it clearly), etc. Don't know how she's been doing recently now as I don't follow her.

Re: Asian bloggers
Sorry for the double post. Went to check her Instagram and surprise!
In a seminar.
.......she thinks she's so big everyone knows her and it's very possible that she could steal the 'spotlight'.

Re: Asian bloggers
Not a fan of the SG twins...Haylee and Jaylee?
I dunno, seems like SG fame standards have fallen a lot. All it takes is semi-decent looks and the ability to photoshop/model and BAM. Insta-fame.
I WILL add a malaysian blogger i DO love.
poshbrokebored.com
She's smart, witty, fashionable, rich (comes from money)...but does her own thing, actually went to school to study for a trade she loves (unlike a lot of SG heiresses) and doesn't brag about her Brit boyfriend just because he's of the Caucasian variety .

Re: Asian bloggers
Oh going back to search her on Google I remembered browsing through her blog once (probably following the links in the links in the links) and being really annoyed at how she posed.hlisse wrote:Stella Lee/stellalee92. I don't hate but prefer not to see her around.

And I LOLed at her whole text about going "anonymously" to some seminar, the girl thinks she's Beyoncé or what?
Re: Asian bloggers
This is really true. I think it doesn't happen exclusively in SG, but some other South-East Asian countries as well. It's annoying to see these people popping everywhere thinking they're Beyoncé. If you have at least 3k followers on Instagram, you can ask online shops around to get freebies.teeheeheehee wrote:I dunno, seems like SG fame standards have fallen a lot.

At school, my friends and I talked about a girl who is insta-famous but some of my friends know her irl and she turned out to be a huge bully, spoiled kid who spends all of her parents' fortune when they're in fact not that rich.
I wonder what caused this phenomenon in the first place.....
@Seijun,
LOL her poses are really annoying.
Like Xx, you can't tell her actual skin tone.
OH HEY WHAT A COINCIDENCE.
Flawless and clear. You read it, girls.
If you browse through her Instagram, you can instantly tell she doesn't have her own style.
Her #japanesestyle hashtag is a no-no.
Please mention other blogger or I probably will turn this thread to be hers soon....

Re: Asian bloggers
^Blergh, most e-famous people in Indonesia don't speak English well. English is not her native language so I think I can overlook it. But I sure can't with QQ and Xx's crap English/Singlish.
^^Those are twins? They don't resemble each other at all. Holy crap that makeup! Someone got punched. Their weird expression doesn't help too.
These two sisters, Elle and Jess, look more like twins.
Blog is pretty good, but has no personality and all you can see when you browse through the blog is 'COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL.' Doesn't even have 'sponsored post' or disclaimer on top of the post too, so you read an interesting post, scroll down and ta-dah! Advertisement.
Stella Lee again.
Contouring gone wrong. Dared to make a tutorial on it too.
I need more fabulous, down-to-earth brown-skinned girls. The big bloggers are always either the fair-skinned ones or fair skin-wannabes.

Re: Asian bloggers
^not really lol. i was born and bred in indonesia and hardly speak like her despite the fact that it's not my first language either
i think she's better off keeping her mouth shut in her videos with her english like that..
also, does anyone know if these 2 sisters ever had surgeries?

Re: Asian bloggers
'Most e-famous people,' you probably will speak bad English if you got e-famous too! Lol. I used to speak terrible English until middle school. Thanks to the internet and video games, I managed to get the grasp of it in high school and English is pretty easy now. Some people could really have difficult time mastering a foreign language, I'm just lucky I'm not one.
_N_, if I may know, where do you live right now?
I don't think the two sisters had surgeries. They used to look 'basic' they just found out the best way to improve their look I guess. You can tell they are most probably rich too. 'Potentially gorgeous' and rich. You know the rest.
In the past.

Re: Asian bloggers
i am currently living abroad for study (not comfortable with disclosing where exactly), but i'd been speaking bahasa for 18 years before i moved and i've only been exposed to the English speaking society for less than 5 years?
it's hard for me to overlook her thick accent since being Indonesian myself i'm really familiar with it and am kinda embarrassed for her i kinda wish that since her english is that bad she'd stick to speaking bahasa or just stay mute in her videos really.
im not getting this part

Re: Asian bloggers
^I'M SO SORRY PLEASE DON'T MIND IT I'M REALLY BAD AND AWKWARD AT MAKING JOKES. *hides*
Ahh, I see! Good luck with your study, _N_!
From Rini Cesillia's blog (another blogger I don't like, creepy smile and gray skin from editing).
Translation of second paragraph : "don't try too hard to write in English if your grammar is still a mess, you could upset people with it. My grammar is fine/normal (not sure how to translate this one), perhaps sometimes there are errors, but at least I'm sure as long as my grammatical mistakes are not fatal, they can be tolerated. But if you write like this : "I am go to beauty event yesterday", it feels like it has gone too far, right?"
What do you guys think of this?

Re: Asian bloggers
^^ Lol that is true. People are understanding if one is not a native English speaker. They do appreciate it if one person tries to learn, and not try hard.
But some just try too hard to sound intellectual, it just comes off obnoxious.
For example, this girl from kids central, Kim Wakerman --
She boasts about her grasp of the English language, even faking an accent. She kept a blog and this one's an excerpt--
Now she blogs like this--
This is her more normal ones, non-plagiarized,
Prepare to be annoyed

---granted she was maybe 14 then, bragging bout boys who like her. But she was also chosen as a "speak good english icon" so people have expectations. There was even a hate site, and they'd correct her englishmy vocabs and ego !? juz because i dun use "flowery english and fab vocabs"
like u "intellectual" Jealous ppl , doesnt mean that my vocabs are atrocious or crude?
juz because u think i dun write in a trivial manner here,
doesnt mean i cant do trifling writing? i dun need to blog wat u all want to read.
i just want to blog the true incidents that really happens to me in my daily life.
the way i blogged bout my happy life and happenings does not show
that im egoistic because im not a person who suffers from low-self esteem.
im just happy with wat im doing.
Now she blogs like this--
Okay. Hipster quotes hoarder alert. Plagiarized from A Short History of Nearly Everything and Little Black Book.As humans we are inclined to feel that life must have a point. Yes, I have plans and aspirations and desires, and we all bound to constantly take advantage of the intoxicating existence we have been endowed with. But as we grow older and try to take control of the decisions we make in life, I realized how we write our own stories and each time we think we know the end but we don't. It's funny like that, because ironically, when we actually let go of the wheel, we might actually end up right where we belong.
This is her more normal ones, non-plagiarized,
This was her last stint on TV---probably "act cute" does have an age limit on screen.Hihi puffy!!
Everything has been treating me good so far. Next week I gotta go for a post-lasik surgery to correct my eye power (remaining 100 for left and 150 for right) completely back to 0, perfect eye sight. I'm pretty bumped about this tuesday surgery. So nervous to go through the whole damn experience again. So wish me luck pumpkins, I will need it! yikes x
Last Tuesday saw me with my kathylove at Tea Cozy for some heart to heart chat and shopping after.
my dearest girl n I, infinity for life...
the place was too cosy, I could just laze on the couch and chat like a bird all day long hehe tweet tweet...

Ok I was almost finished writing a long reply and I accidentally closed the tab, darn it
The bloggers I have mentioned above are only annoying and snowflakey at most, none are as harmful as SG's Xx blogging circle.

True. They're such a toxic group.
I do think Naomi Neo is like a younger XX, minus the tacky outfits.
She's quite an attention-seeker, a hypocrite and talks all angst but yeah, no substance really.
Re: Asian bloggers
@kaylee,
Wow her newest post made me cringe
No one does the nose and whiskers anymore and it looks bad.
^Yup, the sisters are Chinese-Indonesian. They use last name 'Yamada' for their alias by googling 'most common Japanese surname' because they got asked whether they are Japanese descendant or not a lot.
I used to adore them but after a while I got sick looking at the big bloggers because I noticed these girls fulfill the 'beauty standards' that people look up to them, but I want to see more brown-skinned girls. Do you understand what I mean..?
I was never a fan of the two sisters' online store though. Tacky and from one collection to another, they get more expensive. Although recently they are getting better at picking which items to resell at $$. I once bought a cardigan and this sling bag.
The sling bag was okay but felt a bit flimsy and the cardigan had loose threads everywhere.
Product photos on the site are not very helpful either.
