Why refuse to work surgeons on a certain socialite … plus, two friendship photos Rocken Sydney’s Elite and what has the society let Snobs scold Pip Edwards? The group chat with Lucy Manly

Welcome to the group chat with Lucy Manly, where the most paved society insider in Australia shares the most popular gossip before it makes the news

Pip forgets to do her homework

ActiveWear Supremo Pip Edwards Can really achieve everything she focuses on.

And that includes the face of Women’s Health Magazine, despite her well -documented preference for a drink and an arrow.

But it was not her naughty habits with the gossip of the eastern suburbs that threw shadow this week, rather her loose lips.

She went to an event for the high-tech glasses produced by Ray-Ban and MetaFor which she is an ambassador, when she apparently made quite funny announcements.

My spy tells me that when she was asked for the shades, she laughed uncomfortably and said, “I hope you can shop for this!” Before she ruled fellow party goers with stories about the big night she had just had.

According to my insider, she did not seem to have knowledge of the technical specifications of the glasses, which was a bit uncomfortable because a top Ray-Ban-Exec had flown from Asia for the occasion.

Come on, Pip. We all know the golden rule of brand offers: you must know the product that you spit! Max Markson Can you tell that.

And we hear that she has had enough opportunity to do her homework, whereby the PR geer’s of Meta offer extensive briefing documents to talent and their agents in the days prior to the event, including important talk points about the product and their functionality.

They have even provided a number of useful videos, I was told.

So how much was Pip paid to wear a few advanced specifications that she didn’t really know much about? Well, we don’t know for sure, but in the short term brand agreements that are high-end are usually in the tens of thousands.

In other words, definitely worth a 10-minute YouTube tutorial.

Of course Pip was not the only one who played heads at the Ray-Ban X Meta event.

Chatty Stylist and Instagram Creator Kim ‘Thekimbino’ Russell The room surprised to remain silent when she announced that she skipped the Australian Fashion Week.

‘On the question by the host of the event Laura Dundovic How would she use the glasses during the fashion week, Russell replied: “I’m not going.”

“The room was silent – you could have heard a pin falling. The glasses were launched worldwide to coordinate with the fashion week! “A terrified guest has spilled.

Best friends forever?

The marriage split of the popular Eastern suburbs Nicholas And Litsa Stavropoulos Has caused a lot of handwinging under their high society friends who feel compelled to choose a side in the fall.

And I hear glamorous project manager Pembe Bekir was additional damage in the split after she offered Nicholas a shoulder to cry.

This gesture did not fit well with Bekir’s one -time best friend and couture bridalwear designer Lillian Khallouf. They were once ‘fat as thieves’ but do not speak now.

Coincidentally, Pembe’s own marriage has also recently finished and Lillian remains friends with Pembe’s ex-husband DenominatorWho once was good friends with Nicholas.

“Lillian didn’t follow her anymore after Litsa and Nicholas separated,” says a source.

That is all we know now. As soon as we get more details, you will first know.

But that is not the only friendship shell that makes the rounds.

We hear whisper so -called ‘chicken heirs’ Jessica Ingham and influencer Laura Hazzouri have fallen.

Maybe the duo no longer had things to talk about after they had both fallen Roxy JacenkoThe PR -SUPREMO that she introduced for the first time?

For a long time Daily Mail readers will know that Ingham and Jacenko BFFs were, but had a fall-out about their (waiting for the) luxury candle company, XRJ.

Hazzouri, who lives in Milsons with her husband’s husband and three sons, was managed by Jacenko’s Influencer Talent Agency The Ministry of Talent, but then the side of Ingham.

Doyles on the move

The most spoken couple in the Sutherland Shire, Matthew And Kelsea DoyleMake ownership movements after a baby boy quietly welcome in December.

Matthew, a silver -plated developer, ended up in the slammer because he tried to smuggle $ 85 million cocaine in Australia in 2019. Kelsea, who was not involved in the plot, stood loyal to her husband while he served his time behind bars.

Now a free man and father of two, Matt sells his burranseer -house and hopes to get somewhere between $ 2.4 million and $ 3 million in it.

The building, described as an ‘entertainer’s dream’ in the exuberant language of brokers, has pristine finishes and a luxury Submelp pool.

The group chat revealed in January that the Doyles to Oak Park in South Cronulla had moved, despite rumors that they had viewed a house in Rose Bay.

And finally … guess who, don’t sue!

She wants to ‘refresh’ her nose, but this socialite can not find a plastic surgeon who is willing to take the risk.

Why? Her poor Schnozz is already overworked from earlier operations – as well as her, eh, extracurricular activities.

With all the exhausted options, she might have to go abroad to find a Dodgy operator who is willing to place their scalpel on her thin septum…
