>>40202>>22555Taylor R is a “hardworking” “self-made” “successful” former model and Youtuber from Canada whose main claim to fame used to be copying Dakota’s embarrassing 2012-2015 living doll phase. She’s since abandoned this endeavor to copy Casey Neistat, the Kardashians, Jenna Marbles, Safiya Nygaard, and Valeria Lipovesky, among others. In the past, she has focused on bad DIY videos and boring 30-minute vlogs in which she recaps serious challenges from her week, including hiring an assistant, eating food, drinking Starbucks coffee, exercising, and seeing various scam artists (fortune tellers, naturopathic healers). Since then, Taylor has entered a narcissistic era, producing such high quality content as:
* How I Became the Most Beautiful Woman in the World
* Hong Kong Fortune Tellers Criticized My Face
* I Let A Top Hair Salon in Korea Do Whatever They Wanted to My Hair [barely true]
* I Let A Top Manicurist in Japan Do Whatever She Wanted to My Nails [not true; also lol it’s Dakota’s favorite mani person]
* Stuck at Home and Stuck in Life [in my HK customized house that cost millions]
* Surprising Husband with an Outfit from When We First Met
* What I Eat in a Day [flaunting her bones]
* My Husband Picks My Outfits for a Week
* I Ate Only Pumpkin Foods For A Day
Her newly minted husband, Tom Lip, bought her a giant engagement ring from Tiffany’s and a diamond wedding band with the bundles of cash he earns running “digital marketing” companies. One of these companies, MenClub, was exposed for featuring at least 8 underage (age 12-16) girls in skimpy clothing on their site. After news of this spread, Taylor made two videos defending the right of men to ogle children (it’s “cultural”! Don’t like, don’t click!) and insisted that she was never an escort, a claim no one ever made seriously. The purpose of the MenClub “private room” (which requires an individual to vet the applicant’s salary) is still unknown. Taylor claims that it’s for latte-making classes and "cigar nights." Tom's defense of his business ethics throws new light on Taylor's dolly phase, given that he immediately recognized how to monetize Taylor's "innocent" look while still dating her. Tom has denied any responsibility for Menclub’s content and continues to employ the perverted author of all the underage model features. The perv continues to comment on underage girls’ bodies and gets paid to do so.
It seems that most of Taylor's work since she started dating Tom can be traced back to his businesses. Taylor started out by working for Beauty Exchange, did work for MenClub (though she denied it), and was promoted by Studio 54. There are probably many other connections between Tom and Taylor's "success," despite her insistence that her "success" is separate from his. (He finances the entire lifestyle she displays on her blog.)
Taylor has started her own business, TOAT, which is a complete rip-off of Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop website, right down to the code, which her web designer copied and pasted from goop. TOAT is meant to be a lifestyle website, but is rarely if ever updated with articles; those that exist are practically useless. The real purpose of TOAT is to sell overpriced basic clothes with a huge mark-up for shipping and give Taylor the opportunity to be a model without actually having to have clients book her. It helps her get endless PR packages with products she’ll barely use, too! Taylor refuses to discuss whether the cheap-looking products sold on TOAT are made ethically or where they come from. Among her eternally sold-out products are a number of knock-offs, the most notable being the bee earrings sold by TOAT (rip-offs of Chanel’s bee earrings). Interestingly, TOAT is now the owner of the domain menclub.hk, and it seems Tom’s employees are listed as employees at TOAT. Yet there’s zero evidence of TOAT being registered as a
valid company in HK or in Canada. Hopefully this will be explained in the future!
Taylor still manages to be relatable after giving up modeling by purchasing two condos with Tom’s money (one in downtown Toronto, one custom-built in Hong Kong) and flying back and forth between them. Her new full-time jobs include getting her face thoroughly frozen with botox/fillers, traveling in first class & by helicopter for no reason, and getting pregnant by Tom.
She got IVF during a pandemic despite barely trying to conceive naturally, and after an embryo stayed in her for 2 weeks before jumping ship, she and Tom decided to “take a break” from IVF. Anything that happens in her life (such as an ovarian cyst, Covid19, her assistant leaving to do more worthwhile work, or a 2-week old clump of cells exiting her uterus) is immediately used and milked for views from her teenaged followers and brainless stans, whom she brainwashes with her unique blend of stupidity, pseudoscience, and defenses of her (and her husband's) moral failings.
Beware the white knights and stans in Taylor’s thread. Focus on the milk and ignore the filler, farmers.

So I was looking for some evidence of TOAT's registration as a legal business. I fully understand that maybe my lack of Cantonese means I won't find it, even though HK has a central register of businesses in English and Cantonese. Regardless, I had hoped to find some kind of registration number or proof for its legal operations.
While looking for that, I noticed that the google result for "toat" company "hong kong" looked pretty strange:

What was "goop" doing in there?
I checked TOAT's code using a publicly available website (urlscan.io):
https://urlscan.io/result/d0016b14-4fa6-4c14-bb4c-d879c389156a/dom/There are multiple references to goop in the code of the website, indicating that someone just ripped it off their site and forgot to change all the references to it. Even the alt text refers to goop.

The title "goop Giving" in the footer (above, final section) refers to this part of goop's website:
https://goop.com/goop-giving/stans can save their "detective-chan" insults. This took 10m, tops, and I sat on it for weeks. It's funny though. I suppose Taylor told her web designer to copy goop, more or less. Why else would someone spontaneously do such a thing?

>>121652I didn't have the patience to look through everything. Ay the very least, the style of the footer and "wrapper" is taken from goop. If you poke around with google, you can also find her web developer having trouble with the menus and posting on a message board for help with them. The same goop artifacts are in the snippet of code he posted.
But do I think the entire toat site is full of references to goop? Probably not. I think some got changed but he just forgot to change them all.
It's funny that Taylor's obvious attempt to copy goop is reflected in the code of her website. Note that in her entire grrrrlboss spiel about setting up her business all by herself, she never mentions the employees, space, money, and connections given to her by her husband + the fact that her entire idea is a younger version of goop. Of all the inspirations she mentions for her business, goop is conspicuously missing.
When Taylor is actively skinwalking or ripping off other source material, she never mentions the actual source. When she copied Popsugar's unicorn ice cream video, she claimed she hadn't even seen it & had been inspired by other sources. She was very defensive and nasty despite having copied practically every aspect of the video.

>>123139Note to stans: this is a saged question and not meant to offend.
Does anyone else feel like Taylor's hair always looks kind of unwashed or unhealthy now? I noticed it in her lookbook video (where it looked really greasy) and now it just kind of looks like she doesn't put much effort into it, or she's using bad products for her hair. It's always limply hanging or in this state that looks like she slept on it. It was kind of distracting when she was modeling the luxury dresses and hanging out at the mandarin oriental.
Or is this some kind of optical illusion because of the ashy color? Or a trend?
God I can't believe I'm scared to even ask about this because of the people who guard this thread. But I'm curious.
No. 123396
>>123390Blonde hair tends to look less greasy than darker shades. She probably also doesn't wash it every day and if she's using products in it it's likely built up. If I recall correctly, she's trying to go natural with her hair. I got a pretty good kek out of her trying the curly girl method on her hair. (pretty sure the curly girl method would make naturally straight hair look dirty as its meant to tidy up curls)

>>123501yeah, this ring stuff isn't very interesting. These are common styles and a lot of rich women wear these ostentatious settings together.
iirc, she kind of showed him what she liked for engagement rings at Tiffany's once, and then he went back and bought the one with the biggest rock. She chose her own heart-shaped diamond eternity band.
It always struck me as weird that she pretended not to want to spend money on a wedding, but she's wearing the cost of a wedding (and much more) on her finger. A wedding is a headache, sure, but it's also something people can enjoy attending. You're throwing a party with and kind of
for your friends and family. I see no need to do this if you don't want to, but when Taylor made it about money, I had to roll my eyes. She could have thrown a couple small parties for people to celebrate with her - I think it would have meant a lot to her family especially! She didn't want to, fine. The decision should be respected. But then don't talk to us about hOw MuCh A wEdDiNg CoStS while waving your giant diamonds in front of the camera.
I felt like the tension and fighting she alluded to before her wedding shower in Canada might have had something to do with all of that. She didn't throw any party celebrating her own wedding so her family felt obliged to organize something during the short time they were in town for the holidays. Yeah, it's a reach, but I was surprised that she didn't handle that more graciously. Or at the very least, don't have a fucking wedding shower when you buy everything you want 24/7. Book a room at a restaurant, treat your family to a meal, toast the union, ask for donations to an animal shelter in lieu of (expensive) gifts. That would have made a lot more sense than forcing your family to figure out how to honor your marriage. People like rituals, and it was clear her family just wanted to have some ritual to mark Taylor's marriage. On a brighter note, a shower was a good way to get Tom out of the spotlight…can't remember if he was there or not but showers are usually completely focused on the bride. bet that made the day a little brighter for some people.
Meanwhile, they have two luxury places to live, one of which seems to just sit empty.

makes every other video about some trendI saw that little subtitle about how 90% of the clothes she wears for jobs aren't hers. It reminded me of that anon who posted in the last thread, declaring that Taylor is some all-important influencer who gets given things to wear left and right:
>>120518Since you read here, Taylor, we know your modeling clothes - the rare times you actually model - usually are not your own. But your haul videos and lookbooks and the clothes you wear to events like the Chanel party? All the useless clothes you bought to make retro Tiktok videos? Those were clothes you bought. No one gave them to you and you didn't rent them! Nobody thinks you got to keep the fancy dresses from your Mandarin Oriental ad, ok? We do see how many PR packages you get, congrats on having some agency finagle you endless free stuff for doing next to nothing. It's a real accomplishment!
How many vlogs did Taylor shoot where she was shopping for an outfit for an event?! It used to be all the time - and we saw her make the purchases. For some reason she doesn't want to own up to her wasteful shopping addiction. Better to come clean, I think, and stop buying fast fashion. No mention of TOAT clothes in this video, kind of surprising but she's abandoning her fake business anyway, it seems.

I’m not even saying this in defense of her lifestyle or choices because I think she was incredibly impulsive and naïve, but is it really milk for an aspiring model to follow trends and try to marry into wealth?
I don’t think she could be called a career model though, especially when she said she would turn down jobs if she couldn’t have her circle lenses in and her appearance how she wanted it to be. I wonder if she was chasing another bag at that time, or was already spotted by Tom?
No. 125310
>>125120Did she really say she turned down "jobs"? Maybe what she meant was opportunities to audition? Because modeling auditions in Japan don't usually allow you to wear circle lenses, so she would've been asked to leave or told to remove her contacts before even auditioning.
But do you really think she would turn down bragging rights and good vlogging material over circle lenses? That sounds more like an excuse for her lack of modeling work in Japan. Remember her agent even admitted Taylor's looks weren't "in" and said she was sorry that Taylor couldn't really make it in Japan unlike in HK. That sounds more like she wasn't able to get the work, not that she was turning down offers.

Not saying anything is wrong though anon, just has always made me curious as a t’rono fag.
Also, with the way her sisters look and the weddings thrown, I figured they were all just aiming to marry into money. Her brother looks like a bum during Christmas vlogs, but he might have a good job despite feeling no reason to dress out of lounge clothes for Taylor’s vids.
>>124030I saw an anon mention here that Tom and her married faster than I’m sure she planned had aimed to for more of a Chinese luck myth, since someone in Tom’s family had passed away?
I wonder if she expected to get married in France, and Tom’s family and hers would be flying there (Except the ones who live there already). It’d be kind of funny if she actually had a real wedding, separate from the Skype and Zara suit one. Unless her own grandfather was already sick so she had to move quickly, I can’t remember when he passed away.
On the other hand, maybe she compromised having a small and simple wedding so the expenses it would have used to throw an elaborate one would be put into getting an apartment in Toronto.

She vlogged her drive back to the condo, and I recognized the area immediately - it's near the big conference hotels by City Hall.
I don't know if her family still lives in Grimsby or not, but they have massive McMansions.
>Her brother looks like a bum during Christmas vlogs, but he might have a good job despite feeling no reason to dress out of lounge clothes for Taylor’s vids.Her brother has also modeled and plays/played hockey (not sure if for money or not, don't care enough to find out). He seems to be in the car business as well.
>I saw an anon mention here that Tom and her married faster than I’m sure she planned had aimed to for more of a Chinese luck myth, since someone in Tom’s family had passed away?Nah, his parents had already passed and it didn't sound recent. Most likely is that they had a shotgun wedding so they could buy that condo more easily. There's a lot of hassle when you are purchasing a place and your finances are investigated. Taylor didn't have enough to buy it herself so she needed to be legally married to Tom so he could purchase it. There's all these new restrictions about foreigners (esp. from China/HK) buying real estate in Canada. I'll leave it to the Cananons to tell me if I'm wrong about that, but that definitely seemed like the motivation for the wedding.
>I wonder if she expected to get married in France, and Tom’s family and hers would be flying there (Except the ones who live there already). It’d be kind of funny if she actually had a real wedding, separate from the Skype and Zara suit one. Unless her own grandfather was already sick so she had to move quickly, I can’t remember when he passed away.Her grandfather died - in her own words - "suddenly and unexpectedly" and I don't think there was known illness. Just one of those things that happens to old people - idk if it was a heart attack or blood clot or what.
I hate to say this, but I'm kind of scared of what will happen if Taylor is still a semi-active youtuber when her Nana passes away. We never heard much at all about her grandfather and then it was this giant thing that made her unable to work for months. Her Nana seems to have a more central role in her life.
That said, I hope she doesn't continue to milk the natural deaths of old people when so many are losing parents and siblings prematurely these days. Yes, it's sad when someone dies. it's horrible.

>>125424I don't know what she has now but during peak loli phase, Tom would buy her a bag for each trip or photoshoot. She had an LV speedy, a few Chanel bags, and a lady Dior that she used on the tv show where she wore pink.
>>125569The condo isn't near Cityhall nor any conference hotspots. It's in the king west area where tons of cheap condos went up and tatty office buildings converted to condos. They paid a premium for what they got, as it's not central nor luxury being a Thompson hotel residence. The configuration is such that everyone can look at you through the windows from every angle.
Like you said, they likely got married on paper to secure the investment property in Canada and paid the premium because they were desperate to close and have a place to stay during the months they were visiting.

>>125327TY. Yeah, I would take whatever she says with a grain of salt. She wouldn't have been allowed to audition with circles lenses in the first place, so what she most likely turned down if anything were auditions.
Her agent also said clients were more interested in mixed/half Japanese for TV commercials (the kind of work Taylor wanted) and lack of Japanese skills were also a big problem.
She had a whole PR team helping her while she was in Japan and still didn't make it, so it was never going to happen for her at least as a model or TV figure. But she had all the tools and money and could've been more successful on youtube had she put in the effort.

>>125582In the first 30s she said it was sudden and unexpected. If it had been a longer illness, I'd think she certainly would have been there during his last moments. But whatever it was, it happened so fast that she couldn't get there before they switched off the life support. (She was with her family on skype when they did that.)
I don't really feel like going through all these voyeuristic videos of her crying and stuff to find out what exactly it was, so I'll take the risk that I might be wrong. But everything about the situation aligns with "sudden and unexpected," i.e. not something that would prompt Tom & Taylor to have a shotgun wedding that no one could attend in person anyway. If you get married because someone in your family might die soon, generally it is to share the celebration (in person) with that relative, I think. I don't even remember if her grandparents were digitally present at the wedding. I hope they were though.

pic rel is a screenshot from her latest video. She looks really beautiful here, the make-up looks natural and healthy, the curls look so lively and beautiful around her face and that periwinkle color of her sweater looks gorgeous on her coloring.
She'd do herself a favor if she sticks to this type of make-up and hairstyle. It's much better than the rattails she used to do that don't flatter her face at all (or still does? not sure) and the harsh make-up she sometimes does.

>>126068This is infinitely better than the rat tails. She definitely benefits from it being shorter and more manageable; not sure if she’s just lazy with longer hair or it’s just too much work at this point, she has the time and money but never bothers unless it’s for a video.

With regard to menclub, there's no way Taylor was ignorant of what kind of site it was when she agreed to do an interview with them and be promoted on their social media.* I checked out MC's FB posts from 2012-2013 and they were much grosser than the current site is. Full of raunchy pics, sexual innuendos ("The weather is so…. wet today"). Some of the commenters were disgusted by how young the featured girls were. I screenshot some stuff, maybe will post it later.
Most of the article links from that time no longer work, so you have to play around with archive.org and wait forever for things to load. However, there's a pretty disgusting one from 2013 that literally advocates dating underage girls:
http://archive.today/zSFrxSome quotations:
"She is in her teens, youthful and full of energy. She unknowingly infects you and makes you feel very young. Getting along with her is very simple. All practical issues will be left behind without any constraints. The relationship is really built with pure feelings. It is very special and precious. It makes it easy for you to love her deeply. You have a wonderful feeling all the time, as if you are dreaming. You want to proudly tell everyone how happy you are, but at the same time, you are also paradoxically afraid of others' eyes and worried that people around you feel strange."
"For her, your role should not be just a lover, you should also be her brother or teacher, because if she can have someone by her side, she will not only share life with her, but also encourage her to grasp the progress and growth of this golden period."
Taylor chose to work with Menclub and got involved with Tom while things like this were being posted on their website.
*Taylor did a Christmas interview for them in Dec 2013. Proof:

making things. You kinda feel like the shop thing will be better. So most people aren't creative as in physically making items or art, because they are insecure. Taylor is confident making things and honestly it's a better purpose than dancing Tik Tok videos. Obviously she is not a master artist but ahe has a good finish quality and aesthetic skill.

It may be the case asian guys are more reserved (caucasianfag here) but if your partner is a white girl would you not adjust your behavior slightly to match her expectations?
I think Tom and Jun do like/love their partners but they definitely don't show it in the way a Western audience expects.

He himself seems to do fuck-all for poor people in his own community, or at least, he and Taylor have posted maybe twice (period) about charity work - always asking their followers to donate, not showing their own work for charity.
Tom crawled to the top by exploiting overqualified women via Beauty Exchange (he bragged about paying them low salaries!
>>113071) and then doing some seriously shady stuff via MenClub (picrel). Early Menclub was a cesspool. I never really believed in all the tinfoil about it being a front for escorting, but there is so much disturbing shit in their post history from 2012-2014 that I don't know what to think anymore.
But hey, I guess those other lazy but totally happy poor people should just churn out their own wank sites so they can move out of the cage homes.

I don't get the feeling that he lied, but I do get the feeling that he believes other people get what they deserve. Yet in reality, just because he got lucky and made money doesn't mean he worked harder than those who didn't or couldn't.

>>129139she worked for BeautyExchange first (it seems) and Tom then asked her to do stuff for MenClub. They had regular features with models and actresses (both porn and normal actresses) so there's no reason Taylor had to be an escort.
I personally don't think she was ever an escort - she had too much of a prissy, stuck-up attitude for that. I do think she knew MenClub was shady and gross, and she was happy to have promotion through MenClub because it brought her clicks. Imho she played up the "sexy underage-looking childish girl going to bed" pics for MenClub (who else were those weird pedobait pics for?). She didn't even delete the lascivious comments men left on her own official page.
She liked money and she liked Tom's wallet/personality/random grunting, so they dated after he got to know her via BeautyExchange and MenClub.

>>129145Zoo is one of the most famous hostess clubs in Japan and one of the biggest in terms of size and number of locations, but not that exclusive. Almost all hostess clubs are really gaudy. They do serve foreigners but they might not have English or Chinese speakers. The places that ban foreigners are not real hostess clubs, so I bet Menclub is also talking about "other" aspects of nightlife.
From what I understand, it's common for HK men to take top clients to clubs/bars that provide "extra services". At least all the finance and other business guys I know have been taken to these places when they visited their HK offices. I would be shocked if Tom doesn't do the same for his clients considering half of Menclub's purpose seems to be promoting them.

>>129168yes, that's the private zone referred to here. I actually was mindlessly looking through old MenClub posts just to try to find out more about that private area. I still haven't found out completely what it is. I did screenshot some early MenClub posts about private zone parties. They always advertised that girls would be there up until a certain point (maybe 2016).
I feel like the site changed/diversified a lot around 2016, but I have a feeling the grosser stuff just got pushed to more private areas (there's a private forum in addition to the private zone). Maybe Tom's advertisers didn't want to be associated with such blatant sexual content? I mean, for reference, men would comment about masturbating on so many posts from 2012-2015. Openly. Sure, that's what men do, but it wasn't deleted and in fact, that seems to be why those pics were posted anyway.

I guess we're autosaged because of the idiots in this thread who cannot sage their trash.
Anyway, I am watching the second part of her holiday vlog. It's really something special. I'm not even a few minutes into it but she is vying for the Most Tone-Deaf Cow award.
Vlog here:
https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1vy4y1e7mv"I think what we're all going to be doing for the next few months(?!) is figuring out how to style all this loungewear we've invested in during this pandemic. I mean, at least that's what I've been doing, thinking of ways how to dress it up and wear it out"
(Right, Taylor. We've all "invested" in loungewear and dressing up loungewear will surely be on our minds as we watch hospitals and morgues get clogged with covid patients in the first quarter of 2021.)
This is said as she hops from salon to salon doing pointless 'beauty treatments' (but she'll never top up that filler and botox with us, fam! that's private) while wearing a knit onesie with a blazer thrown on top of it.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CInlkyAnceC/?igshid=18p43wg7i54kxThe comments compliment her style, but this outfit is styled exactly as it is pictured on Zara's website, and wow, it looks… not like something a sane person wears in public.
She admits that she now travels through HK with a suitcase and changes clothes 3-4x in café bathrooms to shoot instagram photos and tiktok videos with her "assistant." Café bathroom changes during a pandemic… not even for legitimate modeling work, but so you can post on tiktok and instagram.

I’d have to wash everything as soon as I got home o_o
Also I get what you’re saying, but I’ve seen tons of articles about loungewear becoming the norm since the coronavirus. I just googled it and the first three articles basically express exactly what she was talking about. (

Normal sane people are trying to limit their time in public places. They don't plan IG and tiktok shootings and change clothes in public bathrooms. I don't know how she justifies going out and strewing her things on a dirty bench/street/bathroom floor unless she really, truly believes that the world needs her rip-off tiktok video.
Loungewear is what it is. I don't think anyone who had the money to buy new clothes specifically for bumming around the house is going to feel the need to "dress up" glorified pajamas for public outings.

In any case, if you watch her Canadian vlogs her family certainly seems “comfortable.”

HK shut beauty salons and gyms again and was having clusters related to private parties, hospitals, cosmetic services. They won't open schools until after Lunar New Year.
I mean, just because HK has fewer new daily cases than EU countries doesn't mean you should go out and do dumb shit. Changing clothes for tiktoks is pretty stupid behavior imho but i'm more interested in how she got her beauty treatments. I thought all those services in HK got shut down again on Dec 6/7.
My personal sad about HK is that domestic workers there are barely treated as human and they are suffering a lot bc of covid.
