If she had any ounce of situational awareness, she'd be doing videos on saving money, upcycling, creating new outfits with old clothes, etc. It's embarrassing how out of touch she is. She's pushing 40 and trying to be a manic pixie dream girl.
The problem with that is she's stuck in consoomer mode. That's literally her brand, as far as paid sponsorships go. She doesn't make any money from her stupid craft projects; she makes it by getting brands to pay her to feature their products.
Making posts about saving money? Since when has she ever had to save money? What would she even know about that? There has never been a time in her life when she's had too many days and too little food left at the end of her paycheck. She's never had to worry about paying rent, or student loans, or deciding which utility bill was going to get paid that month. When she lost her job at Sprinklr, she kept on as before, clearly with no concerns about how her bills were going to get paid.
Upcycling? To upcycle something is to take used items and use the materials to make something better--more attractive and more useful--with them. There is already too much "upcycling" in which perfectly okay stuff gets downcycled into largely useless junk. Pinterest and Insta are
infested with that shit. Given her lack of skill at doing craftsy stuff, her overall lack of taste, and her consoomerist mindset in which nothing has any purpose but as a prop for an Insta post before getting thrown away, she's not upcycling anything.
Creating new outfits with old clothes would imply she has old clothes that still fit, and that she hasn't destroyed simply by getting them on and off, or just by wearing them. Fatties like Anna don't
have old clothes--that's because the stuff they do buy is cheaply made, from shitty fabrics, and falls apart in no time flat under the stress of being worn on a massively fat body.
When you're as fat as Anna, you only have a handful of garments that you wear regularly, and they get worn in constant rotation until they completely wear out or you can't get into them any more, at which point they are replaced and the old ones thrown out. They're so poorly constructed, of such flimsy materials, they can't be mended, and the fabrics are too cheap and difficult to work with to be worth upcycling into a new garment. Clothes, for fatties, are used up fast. They're disposable.
Besides, we've seen the kinds of outfits Anna puts together. She has no taste, no sense of proportion, no color sense. She doesn't know how to use accessories, and rarely buys them. Even if she did have a closet full of perfectly good old clothes that still fit, she still wouldn't be able to put them together worth a damn.
Yeah, she's completely out of touch, tone-deaf, part of the problem, living in a consoomerist bubble. And that's how she will continue to be, for as long as she's able to keep getting paid for it. And if the day comes when nobody is willing to pay her? Well, she's always got Daddy to fall back on. Why would she start being realistic? She's never had to before, and never will.
