Diana Bouli, ambassadrice de la CAN 2023 : Réactions partagées des Ivoiriens

Diana Bouli, la sulfureuse influenceuse camerounaise, a récemment été désignée ambassadrice de la Coupe d’Afrique des Nations 2023 (CAN 2023) par le Comité d’Organisation (COCAN). Au sein de la communauté ivoirienne, les réactions ne se sont pas faites attendre. Une nomination d’une “personnalité” étrangère pour représenter un événement d’une telle importance. Pour certains, cette décision est…

Deux fois qu'un livre pour lequel je m'embête à écrire un beau coup de coeur se met à être beaucoup emprunté et à chaque fois ma responsable me dit "C'est marrant la popularité de ce livre, je sais pas pourquoi, ça doit être le bouche à oreille..." Aucune reconnaissance 😭

So, TikTok as “Dim Mak,” the precision influence on mass thinking may have changed the overall political ecology of the United States....

Un métier qui fait rêver, mais qui n'est pas toujours facile.

All over the fucking world, le Faussel hides who has managed this : Trump even before being officially the 47th US President.

They'll jump on every bullshit, every slight mistake, as I have showed it in my last French text and in another one a bit before.

This is ABSOLUTELY NOT journalism but political activism, with the usual tool of the arsenal : bad faith.

What about Grandma then? In recent days, that Barbour issue has been discussed in several corners of this fandon, as you said. Well, the day before yesterday Garance was posting stories showing off his Barbour coats...Obviously those two also follow the topics discussed on Tumblr. 🤷‍♀️

Dear Garance Anon,

You will have to forgive me for the very, very late answer. I wanted to give it my full, undivided attention, because I believe we never spoke seriously about Mrs. Mariline Fiori, aka Garance Doré.

The short answer to your comment is 'oh, but we know they do, as we know they are not the only ones'. Unlike S&C, though, the McGrandmas might see us as a free, useful toolbox of sorts, where readily available ideas congregate. Remember they have deliberately calibrated their public couple personas on exactly what SC are unable and/or unwilling to give/show this fandom. To some extent, it works and, as any good Frenchwoman, Garance understood she was savvy to play the atout charme joker card. Which is exactly what she does - also, being French, she knows exactly what type of European public is instantly attracted to the Barbour reference: a public whose wallets she needs.

But as I just said, your post made me think about Mrs. Doré. Who is she, really? So, sorry, Anon, if I use you as a springboard for my musings.

She was, as I said, born Mariline Fiori, on May 1st (same day as JAMMF, LOL) 1977, in Ajaccio, Corsica's main town and birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Not a Corsican, though (same as Napoleon, LOL): Italian father, French/Algerian mom. People who left Algeria when it became independent, after the Evian Peace Accords, and whom the metropolitan French still call, to these day, 'pieds-noirs' (literally and quite derogatorily, 'black feet'). Her family's social status is, however, a bit unclear, as Mrs. Fiori successively played with her personal story in interviews, in what the French also sarcastically call 'des petits arrangements avec la vérité'/ a bit of tinkering with the truth.

In this 2019 interview to Elle UK, for example, her parents are described as owning a restaurant in Corsica (https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a29758314/garance-dore-original-influencer/):

But in another 2013 interview to The Talks, her mother was a shrink (https://the-talks.com/interview/garance-dore/):

Also, for the sake of clarity:

Oh, well: different country, different crowd/market, different agenda and perhaps older and wiser when talking to Elle UK, you would think?

Not necessarily and still a divisive figure for the international press/blogosphere. People did not appreciate her frequent flying and luxury travels during COVID, for example, along with her 'white, bourgeois woman entitlement'. Both in New Zealand...

(Source: https://www.ensemblemagazine.co.nz/articles/garance-dore-new-zealand - I think you should read the entire article, as it is absolutely enlightening, also something I wouldn't go polemic about, you make up your own mind, really).

...and in France, where they apparently are not very fond of her 'cult of personality' approach to social media, to say the least:

(Source: https://www.madmoizelle.com/a-t-on-vraiment-besoin-de-preter-attention-aux-conseils-antivax-des-influenceuses-1145916 Non Francophones could use Google Translate, but considerably lose in doing so the ferocity of the writing - but then, again, the French press is particularly sarcastic & ferocious, when set against someone or something. I love them to bits.)

The translation is clear, and I deliberately did not insist on the political stance of the article, whose title gives a straightforward idea: 'Do we really have to pay attention to the influencers' antivax advice?':

'This influencer cannot singlehandedly convert a part of her fans to antivaxing, via Instagram, but this comforts those who already thought so and keeps them even more hooked. This is because Instagram is a social media whose model heavily relies on shared affinities, meaning that it congregates likeminded people and creates bubble phenomena, of which GD is a good example.

GD, who built an empire around her handle which she turned into a brand and transformed her own lifestyle into her best product might very well turn her cult of personality into an economic model. Many celebrities already do so and are perfectly entitled to. But in her case, we are not talking about sending a birthday personalized cameo, we are talking about dispensing health advice during a pandemic.'

Truly, Ha-wa-wee 2.0 sounds like kindergarten compared to the above and never made it so far and wide in the international press. But hey, don't we know, double standard is the law of this land.

But to cut the story short, because it's 5 AM in here and we'd be talking about Mrs. McGrandma until tomorrow evening, do we really imagine someone so well versed in the ways and means of social media not following Tumblr?

Yeah, thought so, too.

Tout à l'heure dans le RER j'étais à côté d'une mère et sa fille. La gamine devait avoir 12 / 13 ans max. Elles étaient face à face chacune sur leur téléphone. Et j'étais si triste pour cette jeune fille...

En 10 min de trajet, elle a essayé d'attirer l'attention de sa maman 5 fois. En lui parlant parfum, maquillage, copine, film et enfin influenceuse. Il n'y a que le dernier sujet qui ait arraché un mot à la mère. Sinon elle ne levait pas la tête de son téléphone, en train de scroller sur insta et de regarder ses reels (SANS ECOUTEUR EN PLUS).

La gamine lui a demandé si elles pourraient aller au cinéma juste toutes les deux pour avoir un moment à elles... La maman n'a même pas relevé...

Préférer insta à son enfant... Ça me dépasse. Après les gens s'étonnent qu'une fois adultes leurs enfants ne viennent plus les voir. Ça me dépasse.
