Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
Taran probably pays for everything when she's with him, so I mean, anyone can travel if someone else pays for you.Bookieslove23 wrote: ↑ She hadn’t even left London before making her next trip! Wtf! I don’t understand her going so often and that close together for that matter. It’s not fair to her dogs that she loves so much to never see them. Also to just up and leave them with her roommate every time she jets across the Atlantic.
I’m sure she will post about it being a work trip or something. She’ll post one or two videos before she leaves for London again. I’m sure they will be tag videos and nothing shes promised her fans.
I personally couldn’t justify a trip to London almost every month. It costs around $800+ just to fly there. That doesn’t include a place to stay, food, money to explore, and all that jazz. However, I’m not rich so
What she does to her poor dogs is heartbreaking. I can't help like feel like I'm abandoning my dog when I go away for work or on my annual holiday.

Each bookmark tells part of a story. If you get all 3 they will tell you a short story?? She’s really pushing her bookmarks lately. Which is odd seeing as she hasn’t mentioned them in so long. Now all of a sudden she’s pushing them and says new collections are coming.

Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
I mean to be fair if she is in a long distance relationship with Taran then that’s what you would do if you had the money. When me and my husband did long distance for a couple years and he was half way across the world I could only visit him a few times and when I did it was for 1-4 months. I would just up and leave everything, school, family, just for him (I didn’t have a pet though). But if I had the money and time like she does I would for sure have visited him as often as I could. Sounds cheesy but when you’re in love that’s what you do, and long distance is tough.
BUT I totally agree about how she’s treating her dogs and actually her room mate as she needs to take care of the dogs while she’s away. No wonder Fraser is starting to get overweight. There’s no one there to properly look after him and train them. I just don’t understand why she got those breed of dogs who have so much energy, need so much attention and exercise. Just really irresponsible and selfish.

Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
Okay, maybe I’m remembering things wrong, but didn’t she get Frazier before she started the writing and traveling thing? I don’t remember fiona exactly, but it could be that she got Frazier before this all even started. In that case....what is she gonna do? She probably wants to spend as much time with Taran as she can and if she’s getting money/deals from her trips she might not be able to give them up. Of course this is all just me guessing, so please no one come for my head .
My point is: she probably feels as if she has to spend time with Taran and she has to figure out a way to keep the dogs. It’s definitely a weird balance act though, however you look at it.

She got Frazier when she was living in Texas. They were writing Zenith at the time. I think she was really lonely in Texas and that’s why she got him. She got Fiona as a friend for Frazier and that was basically it.

Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
Does it super matter? I know it's custom to make a new thread around 40 pages in(which I still don't get) but wouldn't it just been simpiler to keep everything in one spot?unpopularbooktube wrote:Thu Aug 15, 2019 6:16 pmWe're 42 pages in, should we start a new thread?
Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
It's the custom bc after 40 pages way too much has happened in that span of time. If we make a new thread, gg users won't have to go to page 570 of this thread to see what's going on rn.NicoleThePickle wrote:Sat Aug 17, 2019 12:58 pmDoes it super matter?

Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
In regards to her and Lindsay, from my perspective they both got into an immature argument about the other one slacking off, hence passive aggressive comments between the two, specifically to my knowledge during the writing of Nexus.baylette wrote: ↑Not doubting you, but do you have any proof you dated her?slippers4days wrote:Ohhhh my god! This is crazy. It makes sense if Taran's family owns hotels & has $$ that Sasha can afford this stuff. I assumed it was her dad paying for it but dang. Also, do you know why Sasha and Lindsay had a falling out?cringeobserverdelete23 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 3:28 pm
That being said Sasha is an utterly talentless and insecure sociopath. Source: I dated her.

As for proof I'm genuine I think that will come from the things I've said, for example the Taran/hotel/sugar daddy situation.

Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
She is aware of this, she is very much married to her online persona, milking it for all its worth. Knowing that she's got nothing going for her once it tanks, hence her reliance on *other* means of income, be it crude shoutouts/promos or an actual sugar daddy.BEEPBOOPBOP wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2019 7:17 amI've been wondering lately just how employable- or rather unemployable she is. She can't survive off lack-lusture videos and terrible books forever, she'll have to have a career/job at some point. But has she even ever had a job? It's not like she could commit herself to studying or university, all she does is travel and 'write', hardly impressive on a cv.

I think this ones the best. Or maybe if the title had something to do with her obsession with Scotland. Like Sasha "the red head wannabe" or Sasha "the fake Scot"unpopularbooktube wrote:Sun Aug 18, 2019 12:23 pmany thread name ideas? I was thinking Sasha "sugar daddy utopia" Alsberg

Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
Bingo! First of all I can confirm there is certainly no trust fund or anything like that. When she was younger she lived in a house that was quite a bit beyond her families means and her dad made some bad financial choices eliminating any wealth the family had. To her credit, if anything, she is the provider in her family, with money hungry siblings and an ailing father.BookishBitch wrote:Sat Aug 10, 2019 6:42 pmI mean, that dude looks almost exactly like Taran in my opinion. And if so wowowowowowowowow. Holy shit. I always assumed that Sasha had a trust fund or something in order to travel like that. Good for her for getting a sugar daddy, I guess.Bookieslove23 wrote: ↑ Here’s the info on Taran which explains how he’s always traveling and how Sasha is probably always right beside him....
Not sure if this is his family(I’m assuming so) but if it is ummmmm holy guacamole
Because of that fact, even though she has certainly had a lot of good pay days, she is (rightfully) concerned about future revenue streams especially since she has definitely developed a warped perspective in terms of expecting to live a lavish life, receive tons of attention, but not develop herself or her "craft" to any extent.
Youtube money becoming tighter, her books being fairly widely reviewed poorly, and her fanbase slowly realizing she wasn't really a booktuber anymore are no doubt some of the reasons she made a few iffy choices in regards to sponsorships, as well as her getting herself a sugar daddy once she realized it of course. Funnily enough until she realized Taran was interested, she had thought he was gay.

Re: Sasha Alsberg (abookutopia)
According to her Instagram story, Project Red is back in Sasha’s court with her agent’s edits. Hopefully her agent didn’t hold back and gave her some good constructive criticism (and told her to significantly improve that dialogue!)
