Warning girls pamper parties Little Divaz uk

The trouble is Beckham that Katie just can't manage to run the business. When I spoke to her a few weeks ago because I was getting calls (due to the similar company names) from angry parents wanting to know why she hadn't turned up to parties and gone AWOL ever since, she said " I promise you it wont happen again. I am trying to build up a brilliant business and im certain i can do. " And look what happened a month later!!

Does anyone have any ideas on how we can stop her crushing anymore little girls dreams?? (sorry, bit dramatic, but I'm sure that is how these children feel)

according to the whois I did on one domain last night it said registrant Katie Brown and owning 56, yes FIFTY SIX other domains.

I wasn't sure though if that went solely on name, and I imagine there are a few Katie Browns. Still don't think we have discovered even a third of the sites she owns though...

they may be making some money from their franchising.

http://www.littledivaz.co.uk/pamper-party-franchise.php

in another coincidence, the text on that page is exactly the same as the text on this competitor's advert, even down to the minor grammatical errors and formatting.

the only differences are the company names, phone numbers and email addresses and the absence of this sentence from the littledivaz page: "Having invested time and money in every aspect of the company from our brand and marketing to training and development....."

here's the original page on their competitor's website complete with "Copyright © 2008."

i wonder if they've also noticed the coincidence?

If they read their e-mails they will !!;)

My gosh, the grammar, spelling and syntax of the website just screams of unprofessionalism.

Kudos to jacktyler for his awesome research, though.

Had a quick peek at the bebo page, snippets worth reading:

"♥I cant stand: Thick People"
"Overused Phrase: fuk sake!"
"First Thought Waking Up: another day another dollar! fuk sake!"
"Ambition: to be a millionare by the time im 30"
"Have you Ever beaten someone up: yes"
"Have you Ever Shoplifted: yes"
"Style: chav"
"Do you want Children: not sure... im a bit selfish... other ppls kids r ok... i ca"

So, she has a company working with children (also advertised on her bebo profile), swears constantly, seems proud of a "chav" lifestyle, admits she is too selfish to have children (which seems rather odd for someone dedicating their career to working with them), and on top of that admits to being a shoplifter and has assaulted at least one person (and freely admits doing so!). Brilliant!

I can imagine parents will love to have their children spend time with a criminal who likes to flaunt their activities online!

i was thinking how nice little divaz' cakes look (look at the party extras gallery)

http://www.littledivaz.co.uk/gallery.php

most impressive.

i don't know how they can afford to import them all the way from Pretoria, South Africa though, not at their prices.

i'm thinking of asking Treasures and Tiaras Kids Parties if they could send me some, because they look absolutely delicious.

their Flickr account has tonnes of yummy cakes, but i'm sure i've seen these ones somewhere before:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/treasures_and_tiaras/3255988770/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/treasures_and_tiaras/3255154867/

on second thoughts, maybe i'm wrong.

after all, katie's photos have been watermarked with the words: "© Little Divaz UK"

i hope she has permission to use those images, because one thing i can't stand, is people piggy-backing off the hard-work and dedication of others :mad:

either way, it's very misleading to imply that they represent one of her own events.

Isn't there any authority this blatant scam merchant can be reported to??

it certainly undermines your confidence when you can't be sure which pictures are genuine and which aren't.

although anything that looks like quality, probably falls into the latter category :rotfl:

cakes from South Africa and make-up artists from Florida apparently!

compare:

with the original picture, from the 2007 Face and Body Art International Convention, Orlando, Florida:



to be fair, little divaz actually [STRIKE]forgot to remove[/STRIKE] left the watermark on that one, making it easy to trace.
