SYDNEY KIDS! Pop into this event TONIGHT. It's a fantastic cause & I'll be floating around in support!

https://www.facebook.com/events/623446031035161/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming&source=1

Hello everyone

I would absolutely love for you to Join us for our African Smiles Charity Fundraiser where every single dollar raised will be transferred directly to Mpumelelo crèche in South Africa.

With your help I want to raise enough money to support the creche and orphanage of over 200 children with nutritious food to eat, health care, safety and education for all throughout 2014. I don't want them to have to worry for a whole 12 months about how they are going to provide the kids with these basic needs.

This will be a really great night out. Danni Quayle on the decks, great nibbles and drinks flowing from our sponsor Kirin, exciting door prizes and goodie bags to take home with you. There will be amazing prizes to be won including flights that have been donated from some incredible company's and a wonderful room of great people to meet.

So please come along, bring your friends and show your support!!

Please share this event around through social media!
Tell everyone - shout it from the roof tops.

all my love and hope to see you there on the night


But this was lost in all the other rubbish.

And I agree with you. Show us your passion, Tully!

Yes this is more of what I want to see coming from her. She is a kind hearted and warm person as well as being articulate and a social butterfly.

I think you're right though.

I disagree that she tries hard to court the sort of attention she's complaining about

simply going out with a group of her friends which included Tahlia has apparently got someone asking for a comment (that to me sounds like its a journo/gossip column asking the question) (or maybe Reaper stirring the pot!?!) and she's complaining about just simply going out the front door means she's open to anyone thinking her life is their business ... ok so yes she courts that to some extent

I guess I don't think by going on BB they tell us "ok from the minute i walk in the door my life is now yours - feel free to delve into every single aspect of my life from now until eternity if you must - I relinguish all right to a private life, to having a personal life - and I also hand you my list of friends/contacts and you can also feel free to do the same with their every waking minute and that of THEIR friends etc etc

I don't think any one of them have any idea how much its going to impact on their lives - and now more so than ever before because of the evolution of SM in our lives. I think Tully THOUGHT she knew ... but its just the same as they all have watched BB before and think they know what its going to be like - and once they're in they all say its just so much more than what they ever realised.

see i agree to a certain extent...i think that when someone becomes a celebrity the gossip is ok, but those paps are friggen stalkers and they are dangerous. I don't agree with people who say "well it's part of the business, they want attention when they have something to flog and then whinge when they can't take their kids to school"...there is a line that gets crossed over when they can't even walk down the street without a hundred cameras blocking their exit, flashes going off in their faces as they drive and kids should ALWAYS be off limits. But when you are staying relevent only via social media, and a few nameless fools throw stupid questions and comments at you, is it to much to ignore, or don't read. Whinging about the very thing that you are using to advertise yourself, and being all smarmy and snarky like the bitch brigade in high school is not a good look.

And she knows that if she posts photo's of her partying with her ex then the questions will come...her answer "so what" was a joke. FFS she put it out there, basically daring people to ask the question and then says "so what". AND (sorry, another and) we wouldn't have even known the question had been asked except for the fact that SHE tweeted it, bringing attention to it, which is what she must have wanted when posting the photo.

Phew!

Both. She never comments on anything of note. Her self absorption is part of it, but I keep thinking that she doesn't seem to care about anything other than herself. Has she seen a film that challenges, has she read a book she liked, has she commented on any issue that suggests she cares about her community, either local or global? No, no and no. The problem is that I thought she would do this. My expectations were lower/different for everyone else.
Click to expand...

She may have done a few of these things sporadically but she certainly features herself in most of her posts...recently, it's mostly either with Luna, a bottle of fake tan/moisturiser/shampoo or with her lesbian/socialite friends on the piss...leading to the hungover pics and the pizza binge. It's a friggen yawnfest. I think I need to refrain from commenting about her anymore for fear of alienating her fans on here. Sorry y'all. :-)

rotf - yeah right - I'm just long winded!! I don't find it an issue either - and the Flash Mob photo was just that - a joke amongst a group of friends - whoever took the shot has told them 'we're doing a flash mob photo 1 2 3 GO' and they've all gone for it .. wise to post it? probably not but in the scheme of things its pretty harmless.

The sort of job she might be looking for is to be social, out there and current ... staying at home on the couch and posting photos of her dog, her decor or her food isn't going to get her there. A certain amount of social notoriety might be what she feels she needs to put her into the minds of the sort of places she's looking for work.

I keep having to remind myself I'm old enough to be her mother so I try hard NOT to impose my wrongs/rights on her I guess ...

yeah i agree with the middle paragraph for sure, she doesn't want to be a typist in a law firm. In fact i bet she's gunning for a channel v vjay (haha vjay, kinda sounds like....um never mind) for which these kinds of shenanigans would be in her favour.

when she left the house she really held it together, you could just tell she can switch on the professionalism when she needs to. It was very impressive, she is capable of much. But the every day tully is the same tully we saw on the show i think. Now she even gets to pick and chose what she shares with the public and it's still not endearing.

But is she in any way interesting anymore? This is what I'm struggling with.
Click to expand...

I find her interesting because she IS so all over the place - it's what made me want to watch her in the house even when I hated the meltdowns when HM's were evicted ...

I much prefer her personality and its many many different facets than the boring sameness of the likes of the screeching sugar sisters who I just find so strange. There is something sooooooo not right with them for me ... it just grates like you would not believe! and yet I can set aside Tully and her emo moodswings, her selfies with Luna, her ups and downs because somehow that is more relatable than the same/same thing that the sisters have going. Yes I know - they are nice girls, sweet, caring girls - but so much so that it comes across to me as somewhat fake. and you know I think its the couples dressing that does that for me - because that strikes me as just soooooooooo wrong.

and I find the fact that her life is somewhat of a shambles in comparison to what my ideal would be - so I want to watch what she does with it and what opportunities come her way ...

I guess when it comes down to it I'm a people watcher and she's one of the HM's that fascinated me and continues to do so ... for now ...

she's not perfect - thank goodness. Everyone loves a good flaw ;) Perfection is so bloody boring!!!

She is a smart and attractive woman. Seems with some issues. Well yes she is still somewhat interesting... but the direction is becoming less as social media savvy hipster icon/beacon and more as potential train wreck. I don't know... She is interesting in that she was on BB but that is slowly fading now and I do agree she seems to be becoming increasingly 'vapid'. I don't even think it is double standards genderwise (Drew looking 'high' cf Tully's hangovers). It is a cummulation of tweets/posts/magazine articles and what I see as media 'manipulation'/exploitation for her own gain (not for some cause or other - just bc she wants STUFF and to be In The Media and Talked About). Nothing WRONG with wanting the limelight as such - it just seems to me that she is the most blatantly manipulative about it. Which doesn't thrill me.

I don't think we need to apologise to one another for not liking the same housemates. I have staunchly defended Tully up until now, but I agree about the 'yawnfest'. Dreary.

That was why I put it in Italics after the link. To give context to what she was promoting. I did not intend for it to be interpreted any other way.
 
Come on guys you can't expect Tully to be this sweet lovely girl explaining to strangers why is she hanging out with her ex. I think she post these stuffs not to attract attention but to seek normality. And I think that is what normal for her. What is not normal are those weirdos who constantly jump on her every post like they are being paid to do it. And the tweet (as response) comes off to me not as whinging but more like being defensive. And I can see where she's coming from.

I don't read her Twit comments, but are most of them negative haters saying horrible, ridiculous things? She is just obsessed with the negativity... I rarely see a post on here with Tully thanking a fan or interacting with any of her true, sensible supporters in a nice little chat. Sort of like how Sparrow has a yack with Tim... This means a lot to fans.
 
I want to see Tully go out and get blind drunk every night and post innapropriate pics. In fact a sex tape of her and Tahlia which gets 'leaked' would be fantastic. I hope she becomes a Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian famous for being famous type of person.

I want to see more sarcastic posts from Tahlia because some that have been posted here have been mildly humourous. Also Luna is a cute enough dog and all, but they need to only post pics of it when it's doing something interesting. Tully just holding it is stupid. Like really fucking stupid.

Other than that I can't complain. Their value is worth only the amount they can entertain. Controversy is an easy way to do it and a chick like Tully could get real messy if she tried. So, so messy...

she posted a photo of her with her ex knowing that the crazies would be out in force and then she posted that someone asked her a question about her being out with her ex (der, they must have known because of the photo, double der) and her reply "so what". So why post the question that no one would have known about it she didn't want it discussed. "So What", more like "woo hoo it worked".
