Personal finance is tied mostly to your systems as a person. You could make 6 figures a year and still be broke and in debt or you could make 20k a year and be on your way to financial freedom.I have finally achieved financial freedom, and no I do not make super much, depending on who you compare me to. Mostly it's my financial and personal habits that keep me going.
I do not consider fancy a marker of a good life, as a matter of fact I do not understand it. What do you mean a MEAL costs 1000 its never that serious please. I don't consider Givenchy to be any more elevated than what my tailor can make me for 100$. Fancy is not important to me so when I was building my one year emergency fund I did not consider fancy part of the budget. I do not try to purchase status.
And I can not stress this enough- taking risks with my money. Buying a vending machine is one of the best decisions I made this year. Buying a business, as risky as that was, turned out to be great. I have lost money, too. Like a lot. I bought stocks in a startup that crashed and lost a pretty little buck. I dipped into the VR business not too long ago and that tanked. It is not about making the right decisions- with money that is almost never possible. Its about taking risks.
My end goal is not a career its the money. Meaning? I have worked jobs odd and unclassy and not so fun. I have packaged fish at some point- hated it. I have worked as a cashier once. As the personal assistant to some pig that was always trying to get their hand up my skirt. I have done real estate. Currently doing event (wedding) Planning for my girl. I did forex, once. I have been paid to go as someone's date to some event. I am not picky with my jobs because the job is not the end goal, the money is. The goal is to retire by 30 and I will do whatever it takes to get up there. It's the getting paid part that matters the most to me.
Learning to leverage my skills and the situation plus to recognize the opportunities when they show up. My girl's last organizer canceled last minute and I offered to take it if she tops the fee up because I love her but not THAT much. In the process I have met so many people in this place and making connections in a new country will never be a bad idea. I have zero to none skills in event planning but all i hear is compliments (Pinterest the things I'd do for you) and I can add event planning to the options my future self has for careers especially given the profile of this one. A lady at church was divorced and man left her with a mortgage and a financial crisis (your daily reminder marrying rich isn't all that) and i drew up a contract to cover her mortgage and kid's education in exchange of a piece of her estate plus slowly easing my way into becoming her financial go to person and asset manager. A bargain, seriously, and I've passed it through enough lawyers to know my fancy little mortgage note will make me very very happy in a few years. Leveraging my mentorship skills to work my way into society because the way to anyone's heart is their children. Its free on paper but is it really? These are the next CEOs and I'm building my space this early. Leveraging my relationships for more relationships. Opportunities are not given they are created.
THIS. ESPECIALLY THIS - having a value system. Knowing what is important to me and what isn't. Being a part of high society is NOT important to me so why would i buy a gala ticket the same price as my rent? Buying brands to keep up a rich girl aesthetic? Winters in Gstaad although I despise snow? Being part of high society isn't something I value at all so I don't play social games I'll just go home. Yes I'll maintain my relationships but everyone that is everyone knows it is not a race I fancy (Which, weirdly enough, has made it very easy for me to navigate it). Like I said, fancy things are not important to me so apart from an Aston Martin I don't care about the price I care about the quality. I will be at a thrift store I really don't mind. My peace is very important to me so I'll pick the fancy overpriced library fees over other libraries and I will pay a ridiculous amount in rent for an apartment in the peaceful part of town and I will splurge on a fancy cafe because I know the price range itself buys me peace. Ramit Sethi (In his book I Will Teach You To Be Rich) gives this as the core point of getting wealthy, knowing your value system. What is important to you? What isn't? If you're not for something you're for everything.
Minimizing responsibilities. I don't have kids and I don't intend to. I don't stupidly commit to things without thinking real real hard about them. I didn't buy things that require me to keep up with paperwork, I don't take on things I need to track. My greatest responsibility in life is my three cats.

a list of all the times foreman and chase actively shaded one another in s1-3, because i think it's very funny,
histories:
PATIENT: [Foreman] doesn't like me. I can tell. CHASE: That's okay. He doesn't like me, either.
sports medicine:
CHASE: House says you were lying. I believe him. FOREMAN: …What’s that? You got a little wet smudge at the end of your nose!
control:
CAMERON [to Chase]: He’s not gonna fire you. FOREMAN: I’d fire you. Bye bye. CHASE: If I screw up, the patient dies… I’ll never get another job. FOREMAN: So go stick your head between your legs and lick your wounds in Gstaad.
mob rules:
CAMERON: Chase has a big mouth. FOREMAN: Yeah. He's probably the one who ratted to Vogler. [of note: Chase did obviously rat to Vogler, but Cameron spends these same episodes defending him and sure he isn't the rat; Foreman immediately jumps to "fire Chase"]
heavy:
PATIENT: I’m thirsty. CAMERON: Just a little bit longer [with this procedure], and you’ll be done. FOREMAN: Like Dr. Chase.
[later, House asks who Foreman would fire:]
FOREMAN: Chase. HOUSE: What — because he screwed up an angio a month ago? FOREMAN: Anyone can make a mistake. HOUSE: Right, it’s the money. You resent it, but you’re going to tell me he doesn’t need the job. FOREMAN: He doesn’t appreciate the job. HOUSE: He was ready to go three rounds with Cameron for it. FOREMAN: He wants the job. He just doesn’t appreciate it. There’s nothing wrong with just wanting to hang out, but this is not the place to do it.
babies and bathwater:
FOREMAN: [under his breath] Here, pussy, pussy, pussy. CHASE: I didn’t do anything. FOREMAN: Exactly my point. CHASE: You wanted me to yell at him? What the hell would that have achieved? What, is he going to jump into his time machine and fix everything? FOREMAN: When a dog dumps on the floor, do you pat its head and call it a genius? No, you smack it in the nose with a newspaper! CHASE: Dogs can learn things, House can’t. FOREMAN: Coward. CHASE: Child.
acceptance:
FOREMAN: If someone asks you to describe me to them, what’s the first thing you’d tell them? CHASE: Insecure.
tb or not tb:
CAMERON: I wrote your people a check last month. PATIENT: Oh, well… write us another one. FOREMAN: Talk to Chase, he’s rich. CHASE: My dad, not me. [i think offering chase's money to a stranger counts as shade]
the mistake:
STACY: Why did Chase screw up? FOREMAN: Because he doesn't give a crap about patients. STACY: He always gets positive patient reviews. FOREMAN: Yeah. He smiles all 84 of his teeth, tells them his tonsil story. STACY: It's a nice story. FOREMAN: He still has his tonsils! As soon as he's out of the room, which is as soon as he can be out of the room, he starts in on the trash talk. Thinks not giving a crap makes him like House. Like it’s something to aspire to. Am I going to have to testify? STACY: I… won't be encouraging them to call you.
failure to communicate:
CHASE: Even if he fell, drug use is far more likely. I’m ordering a tox screen. FOREMAN: Chase, we're not done with the differential. CHASE: You're not my boss. FOREMAN: I'm House's boss, House is your boss. The math is pretty simple. CHASE: Are you signing my paychecks? Are you hiring or firing? FOREMAN: This is not about that. CHASE: The only thing you've been asked to do is supervise House in case he does something insane.
distractions:
FOREMAN: Plug it in. CHASE: You plug it in. FOREMAN: Fine, give me the cord. [under his breath:] Wuss.
who's your daddy?
[during a procedure] HOUSE: Chase, high right atrium, please. CHASE: Her heart’s fragile after that last attack. The chances of tachycardia – HOUSE: You have my permission to blame Foreman at any negligence trial. [chase does as he's told]
cane and able:
CHASE: How could I screw up a simple bleeding time test? FOREMAN: Maybe you were abducted; lost time. [later:] HOUSE: So you’re saying Chase did screw up. CHASE: Or Foreman screwed up. FOREMAN: Big hand points to minutes. Maybe you got them mixed up? [later:] CHASE: We’ve had three results that haven’t been consistent. One of them must be wrong. FOREMAN: Or two of them.
fools for love:
[house is trying to bet foreman on wilson's new girlfriend. foreman hasn't accepted the bet:]
HOUSE: We could spend all day arguing whether we bet or not. Give me the hundred bucks. CHASE: Come on Foreman, pay up. He won! Or we could just never finished the DDX.
[later:]
HOUSE: Aha! Brochure to a jazz festival in the Poconos this weekend. CHASE: Wilson likes jazz. Foreman, pay the man.
[later:] CHASE: If [the patients] can live here without killing each other, they must really be in love. It’s tiny. FOREMAN: Then how come it’s taking you so long to search it? CHASE: Box of condoms in his jacket. FOREMAN: I know you’re poor now, but buy your own.
[later:]
CHASE: Hey, Foreman, can you wear the beeper for a couple hours this weekend? [off his look:] What? FOREMAN: We just destroyed two peoples’ lives. CHASE: I’m not allowed to run errands any more? FOREMAN: I’d like to see some sign that it affects you, or that you recognize that it affects other people. CHASE: So are you going to wear the beeper or not?
finding judas:
CHASE: I wasn't kissing his ass. FOREMAN: It just looked that way from our angle. You on your knees, House bending over. CHASE: He predicted the pancreatitis. CAMERON: It's his dad's fault. CHASE: My dad was an ass. CAMERON: But you did everything he wanted you to and, in return, you got everything you wanted. CHASE: Yeah! It's that simple. CAMERON: His strategy worked. Dad got him a cushy job, paid for his cushy life. CHASE: Cut me out of his cushy will. [cameron looks surprised/apologetic here; foreman continues:] FOREMAN: I told you, just his nature. Poor guy's hardwired to kiss ass.
[later:]
CHASE: Tritter finally froze my accounts. FOREMAN: Really? CHASE: You surprised? Why wouldn't he? FOREMAN: I figured if he was singling you out, you must have done something different. CHASE: What? Like talking? FOREMAN: Yeah. And now that he's frozen your accounts, you probably will. You need the cash, right? CHASE: He doesn't freeze my accounts, I'm guilty. He does freeze my accounts, I'm guilty. [foreman shrugs]
top secret:
FOREMAN: House would do Wilson before you'd do Chase. CAMERON: No, you would do House and Wilson before I do Chase. Now can we get back to work? CHASE: She did me once! FOREMAN: [laughing] She was stoned!
act your age:
CHASE: For the record, Cameron's the one who broke it off. FOREMAN: Not interested. No masses in the hypothalamus. CHASE: I wanted more. She didn't share my feelings. FOREMAN: I feel like I'm in a similar position.
resignation:
CHASE: So, why are you leaving? Or is it just some sort of power play? FOREMAN: You can have my parking space. My locker. CHASE: Is it about House? FOREMAN: Let me get all sensitive and confide in you. CHASE: Why wouldn't you want to tell me? FOREMAN: I don't like you. Never have, never will. You want me to share some more?
the jerk:
FOREMAN: I'll do it. But I've got a job interview after work. Anything comes up later, you guys handle it. CAMERON: Need a peer recommendation? FOREMAN: Thanks. [he looks at chase, who sort of shrugs] CHASE: Cameron's should suffice.
[later:]
CAMERON: Foreman's interview in New York got screwed up. CHASE: I heard. CAMERON: Foreman thought it was House, House thought it was Cuddy. Cuddy thought it was Wilson, Wilson thought it was me. CHASE: And you think it was me? [chuckles] God… you think I… sabotaged Foreman? I don't even want him here. CAMERON: I know. CHASE: Then why would I do…? CAMERON: I think you sabotaged Foreman just to sabotage Foreman.
#malpractice posting#this isn't like. anti choreman or whatever#but seriously they are NOT friends in early seasons lmao#saw someone asking on reddit why chase snubbed foreman in the jerk and like. yeah. this is why#eric foreman#robert chase

Music is the poetry of the air.
Jean Paul Richter
A lot of you have asked me where I am. I am currently at the Verbier Festival, high up in the ski resort of Verbier in the Swiss Alps, with my family.
My family has had a home here since my grandparents time and this has always been a place to escape to ski in the winter season but also for the summer for its fantastic hiking, mountaineering, and biking. Verbier doesn’t have the glitz of Gstaad or the snob appeal of St. Moritz, which are both close by, that’s just fine by everyone who has a chalet here. People come to ski and just chill out.
The Verbier Festival has largely gone under the radar for the past 30 years as that’s the way many of the people wanted it. It’s only now very recently has it got a more public exposure and while that’s all well and good I hope it doesn’t grow bigger. It’s still small compared to other festivals and by virtue being high in the Swiss Alps space is limited so that venues have to be sequestrated from existing buildings and new stages or venues built - but can either be dismantled like an IKEA flat pack or not too big or too much of an eyesore. To date the festival now has grown to about 300,000 people over the two week period in July. Not bad when it started from scratch 30 years ago.
The festival was the brainchild of Martin Engstroem, a brilliant Swede who first came to the resort to ski with his family. But he was already in the classical music business as an influential music agent; indeed he has worked with some of the biggest names and rising talents in classical music.
Back in the early 1990s he shared this idea of inviting some musicians to just play in a very informal setting with other residents and the municipal authorities and the idea took off from there. In effect he just opened his address book and musicians came wanting a break from the madness of the concert circuit. It soon attracted some corporate support too as the visibility of the festival and the names it can headline has gotten bigger. And it’s grown from there, but not too much and not too fast. I think there is a feeling not to let it become a Frankenstein’s monster, and not to lose touch with its original ethos of keeping things simple.
But what’s different about Verbier from other more glamorous music festivals (like Salzburg for example), is how down to earth it is despite being so high up in the Alps. Musicians from all over the world love coming here because they love the unique setting high up in the Swiss Alps and they can be at ease and dress casual. There’s no barrier between performer and audience and there is plenty of intimate interaction too as musicians freely mix with the public in cafes and bars or just walking one the roads. There is no exclusionary atmosphere here (like the Royal Opera House or even Glyndebourne) because if you want that there are plenty of festivals that can give you that snob appeal.
Even better there is that there is so much going on outside the official concert venues. There are music workshops and talks peppered around the ski resort. There are also buskers from all over the world playing in cafés and open spaces. These are rising rock stars in the classical music world and yet they’re playing in very un-concert like settings in casual clothing, to get in touch with their inner child.
Speaking of which and perhaps best of all, children are spoiled with workshops and activities to install a love of music (be it classical or jazz or world music). My nephews and nieces love it.
Those youth with immense professional talent are given mentorship by some of the leading musicians in the world - Yo-Yo Ma if you are a cellist or Bryn Terferl if you’re an opera singer, Yuja Wang if you’re a pianist. And the list goes on. Much of the festival is to bring up and coming classical musicians with established rock stars together.
I don’t know of any other place go from watching world class musicians just jam together on the stage right in front of you, and then go get a drink in bar or café afterwards, before going on a glorious walk in the Alps to take in the beauty of nature; and then to finish the night with a performance by French iconic actress Isabelle Huppert reading, in a gorgeous gallic smoky voice, extracts from Marquie de Sade’s body of work in an intimate setting.
Whenever I find myself losing faith in humanity, I come back to the classical music and to the Verbier Festival. They are a great reminder that we are also able to produce beautiful things made out of strong and barely controllable emotions.

Slim Aarons # A Place in the Sun
Introduction by Christopher Sweet
Abrams Books, New York 2005, 260 pages, 250 colour photographs, 26x31,5cm, ISBN 9780810959354
euro 75,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
A Place in the Sun collects Slim Aarons’s photographs capturing the glamorous lifestyles of some of high society’s most prominent people.
“Slim Aarons is known for his dreamy lifestyle photographs of celebrities and socialites in jaw-dropping locations around the world.” —Architectural Digest
Since 1940 Slim Aarons has been hard at work, first as a war photographer, then with unprecedented access as a photographer to the rich and famous. In this book, he develops the environmental portrait to the level of art, always showing his subjects in their natural setting, in a circumstance synonymous with their station in life.
Aarons documented a particular world that has vanished. A Place in the Sun is that special glimpse of privilege under a bright and beaming sky, whether on sandy shore, snowy slope, or elegant home where cares are few. Through 250 stunning color pictures, Aarons provides a veritable Who’s Who of high society: Aristotle Onassis with his first wife, Tina, and their children, C. Z. Guest at her villa in Palm Beach, the Aga Khan at his Sardinian resort, Truman Capote in Palm Springs.
From Mustique to Monaco, from Aspen to Gstaad, only Aarons can take us on a journey to the most exclusive playgrounds of the rich, inspiring even the most jaded armchair traveler.
Aarons never used a stylist, a makeup artist, or anything but natural light. Since the settings encouraged swimwear, it is astonishing how beautiful these men, women, and children were. There is a shimmering sensuality about this bygone world. Astonishing, too, is the vibrant intensity of the colors.

I just wanna know which Lando’s story inspired that mean comment (that I completely agree with)?
Lando does look like a little rich boy who spends summer between Mykonos and Ibiza.
I think he deleted it, but it was a a picture of him and several other people showing off Richard Mille watches. Just gave me flashbacks to like 2017 when all the rich boys would be taking pictures and videos of pouring champagne over their expensive watches.
Lando definitely has that vibe lol. Winters is Gstaad, summer in Mykonos and St Tropez. He gives Bagatelle and Club 55.
I don’t make the rules.

@ericcolsen - One of the most magical days in Gstaad. The pool of Winter's dreams. A room with views of the Bernese mountains. Absolutely stunning Swiss design. A gym I could live in. Moto Adventures high in the mountains. A 300 year old farm. Cheese handmade by a married couple that have been working together for 37 years. Maybe the most amazing playground and petting zoo I've ever seen, maintained by 53 people with health conditions, impairments and/or learning differences. They live on the property and also build arts and crafts and help in the shop and cafe. What a staggering example of giving purpose and identity in something so compelling. The beauty of the place is a reflection of the beauty of the people. I celebrate all of this. #inlovewithswitzerland #myswitzerland

People said loro piana doesn't advertise because they're "quiet luxury" and "if you know you know" and yet their ads are plastered all over lol. This is absolute bullshit, they can call it what they want but they absolutely do pay people or "gift" them their stuff. Harry is at the point of his career where he's not getting out of bed for free so let's not be naive here. The whole outfits were from them and the articles pointed every single thing out, including vogue?? Yeah come on
Exactly.
Speaking of Loro Piana, have you seen Gstaad Guy? 🤣

I wish "I didn't grow up in a rich family" was a more polite response to answer questions with. Because sometimes my coworkers will be like "You've never been to Paris???? 🤨" my guy our family vacations were to a beach four hours away and those ended when the recession hit. No I've never gone skiing in Gstaad no I don't have a favorite beach in Bali what the FUCK are you people talking about, I feel like a completely different species

with: open starter where: the pool when: early evening on the first day
the steam rising from the pool almost cloaks her as she sits on the edge of it, feet dragging back and forth in the warm water. she’s done with skiing for the day, she’s decided, and now she’s in desperate need of some r & r. sure, so this place wasn’t gstaad, or st. moritz or even verbier, but it would do in a pinch. especially considering the fact that it let her escape the astor household christmas ordeal a week early. “hey,” she waves at the figure approaching, shifting slightly to make room on the ledge. “join me? the view’s great. i’ve seen two people topple over on the slopes already.”

Balloon Ascension Day
Anyone who has ever been in a hot air balloon will tell you it is an incredible experience, especially if they have been on such a ride in a place that boasts a particularly majestic landscape. It may be hard for us to imagine nowadays, but there was a time, not quite so long ago, when humans had no idea how to go about getting up into the air and staying there in a way we take for granted today, via planes or helicopters. In those days, being able to fly, or even float, was a near-impossible goal that many strove to achieve, but only few succeeded. Jean Pierre Blanchard was one of those who succeeded, and January 9th is the day to remember his feat.
The History of Balloon Ascension Day
The very first Balloon Ascension Day was every bit as exciting as it sounds. A man named Jean Paul Blanchard, who was a French aeronaut and inventor, stood in front of Walnut Street Prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a spot that is now known as Independence Square, making some last-minute adjustments to his balloon, while a sizable crowd looked on. Blachard had been preparing for this for a while, and he had sold plenty of tickets to people excited to see him ascend into the sky in his hydrogen-filled gas balloon. In fact, Blachard was so good at creating a buzz about his project that it is thought that most of the entire capital city’s population had come to the prison courtyard to watch, and a great many from the surrounding countryside as well. In fact, the president of the Unite States, George Washington himself, was also present.
Some of the onlookers tried to convince Blachard to let them go with him, but he refused, determined to be the first person to ever ascend into the air in the New World. And then…up he went, reaching an altitude of 200 fathoms during the course of his flight. He monitored his pulse during the entirety of the trip, finally coming down gently in the field of a confused farmer who helped him get back. And so, on January 9th, 1793, the first balloon flight ever to take place in North America was declared a success, and balloon travel became more popular.
How to Celebrate Balloon Ascension Day
In short, if you have never taken a hot air balloon flight, this would be the perfect time to do so in honor of this successful inventor. If it is too chilly where you live to make this possible or pleasurable at this particular time of year, you could make arrangements to go for such a trip when the weather gets better.
Alternately, if you happen to be on vacation then, you could take a hot air balloon flight to get a really good look at the area. The world’s best hot air balloon adventures are said to be organized in places like Serengeti National Park (Tanzania), Napa Valley (California), Cappadocia (Turkey), Gstaad (Switzerland), Istria (Croatia), and Yarra Valley (Australia).
Whatever location you choose, however, you are guaranteed an incredible view that you would not get any other way, and an incredible experience that you will remember for the rest of your life. And you’ll finally understand what our ancestors were so excited about!

Redefining Success in Influencer Marketing and Content Creation
In an era dominated by influencer marketing and the mantra that ‘authenticity’ is the key to success, we’re exploring the idea that influencer activity can still thrive by being, as we like to call it, ‘authentically inauthentic’.
While it may seem paradoxical, there are certain scenarios and niches where inauthenticity can actually be a strategic advantage rather than a hindrance.
It’s not a new idea that people turn to influencers for entertainment and amusement, and comedy influencers creating parody and satirical content thrive by embracing one or more inauthentic personas. These creators openly admit that their content is scripted or exaggerated for comedic effect, and their audience appreciates the transparency in their inauthenticity. For brands or an influencer agency, this approach presents a unique opportunity to connect with audiences seeking escapism and entertainment.
Such elaborate characters blur the lines between fiction and reality, flooding their TikTok comment sections with questions such as, ‘surely this is satire?’ However, these personas can be just as engaging and relatable as real-life authenticity. Audiences are drawn to the aspect of storytelling, and however exaggerated the characters, we definitely all know someone similar…
Similarly, in the world of luxury, influencers who embody aspirational ideals and showcase a seemingly ‘out of reach’ lifestyle can maintain their allure and grow a following precisely because they are unrelatable. Their content allows audiences to escape from their everyday lives and indulge in fantasy. This creates a sense of detachment from reality, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in a captivating narrative or aesthetic without the constraints of authenticity. For a production agency in London, understanding this dynamic is key to crafting content that resonates with diverse audience preferences.
In recent times, both the challenges posed by Covid and the rising cost of living have driven audiences to seek an escape in social media and short-form content. These platforms have become the new-age TV. Once your favorite aspirational series ends, just open TikTok and see what your favorite outlandish creator is up to.
While authenticity remains a powerful and valuable aspect of influencer marketing, there are situations where being authentically inauthentic can be just as effective. It all depends on the niche, audience, and the specific goals of the influencer. In the diverse landscape of influencer activity, there is room for both authenticity and inauthenticity to coexist and cater to a wide range of audience preferences and desires.
Take, for instance, ‘The Rochambeau Club’, a fictitious tennis club born in 2021 on Instagram, leading the charge in the realm of spoof and satirical luxury. Created by London-based entrepreneur Christopher Seddon and writer Joseph Bullmore, their winning formula combines a nostalgic ‘I’ve definitely seen that somewhere before’ retro aesthetic, inside jokes that make you want to feel a part of it, and a meticulously thought-through look and feel, which any production agency in London could appreciate, for an approach to content that is gaining them a rapidly growing online audience. But, you may ask, if it doesn’t actually exist, to what end?
The club is banking on its 'genuine membership' of over 2,000 to naturally transition into real-world customers of their ‘Racquet Rosé,’ a wine retailing at £117 for a case of six bottles, available in selected London restaurants and bars. Despite existing solely in the digital realm, it has become a tangible business, registered in the UK as a wholesaler of alcoholic beverages, hinting at future drink offerings inspired by their 80s preppy universe.
On a similar note, consider ‘Gstaad Guy’, who has carved a niche by satirising the lives of the rich and, to put it frankly, snobby. His content has resonated with, and amused, the more affluent of Instagram users, and his penchant to mock the aspirational lifestyles often seen on social media has gained him a ticket to almost every FROW. It’s the type of creative strategy an innovative influencer agency might champion to stand out in today’s competitive market.
Beyond our phones and in the world of television, the concept of authenticity is also being redefined. The BBC’s Amazing Hotels series, which sees Monica Galetti and Rob Rinder visit Puglia to go behind the scenes of a hotel merely modelled on its historical local villages, and whose staff is carefully curating a ‘genuine’ version of Italy within a replica.
While authenticity remains a powerful currency for creators and brands alike, the rise of spoof accounts and satirical content cannot be ignored. This evolution encourages us to reconsider the usual ‘authenticity or nothing’ approach. It’s a reminder to creators, brands, and even a forward-thinking production agency in London, that the digital entertainment landscape is constantly changing and evolving.

📸 ATP official website
An all-French classic battle featuring two people with contrasting career trajectories occurred in the Zug Challenger, where Quentin Halys, who just became the runner-up to Matteo Berrettini 3-6, 1-6 in Gstaad (250) last week, took on Benoit Paire, who lost to eventual champion Marcos Giron 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 despite leading 3-0 in the final set in the second round back in Newport (250). This match might have delivered in some ways, but the one remaining consistent toward the end prevailed in this match.
Even though Halys' erratic start (including a double fault in the beginning of the match) resulted in Paire's early break to 1-0, including an erratic response to the latter's backhand for his latest break point, the former broke back thanks to his forehand passes that set up his 2-point lead before creating his break point, converting it to 1-1 at the end. There were fair chances, but Halys consolidated to 2-1 to confirm the equal playing level.
Five games later, Paire started with another erroneous showing in following things up, where his double fault midway did not help except forcing another deuce, and it took two more points before Paire's backhand error converted Halys' break point to 5-3. As a result, Halys earned his opportunity to serve for the first set, which he successfully did (6-3) despite conceding a point in the ninth game to steadily take the first set.
