    I emailed the bbc about this company weeks b4 this all started.

    i have emailed the bbc too. so, they have basically just ignored the take-down notice then. that's very true-to-form.

    ....with a photo of the glee cast!

    i'd also noticed that image. i've never heard of glee club, so i assumed (stupidly) it was a picture of one of her parties.

    in fact, it is a publicity shot from fox network's TV show, glee club. no doubt, no permission was sought to use that either.

    Can I just be a bit self-centred and ask some advise for my company with a very similar name? The $ hit is clearly hitting the fan here and littledivaz has made a really bad name for itself, and me while she was at it. I don't want to change my name as I've spent the last 6 years building my reputation, what can I do as damage control?? Also, should I call everyone in my diary to reassure them it's nothing to do with me before it hits the media? Or does that look a bit dodgy, like I'm trying to weasel my way out of something katie brown style?! Any help/opinions would be gratefully recieved!

    What a thread!
    It's all here - I reckon it would make an excellent documentary.
    Well done to all the determined people who don't let a thing get past them...more power to your elbow.
    Have looked on Google to see what's happening with this company and at the moment almost every link clicks through either the company's (illiterate) webside or to yola - has yola taken them off? There's nowt to be seen on there.

    Well it has been all change today, firstly she has ceased trading, then that vanishes from the site and now she no longer trades at the address and has no contact number.
    I for one will be calling Consumer Direct in the morning for more advice.
    Thank you to all the MSE help the parents that have been affected by Little Divaz UK, really do appreciate all your help, advice and amazing detective work.
    And to Boo80, I have spoken to parents that you have done parties for on your day off, when they have been let down by Katie and they can not praise you enough for giving up your time and the great parties you have hosted and I am happy to recommend your company anytime.

    This site is so invaluable, brilliant work you guys, and omen and JT career in private detective work i think?
  • I'm very sad to read such comments about Little Divaz. I can't comment about other people's experiences, but the party that my little girl had was mainly positive. Although Katie did arrrive a little late, she phoned to tell me, so I prepared the girls and played games with them. When Katie did arrive, she was very sweet with the girls, brought with her party bags, fizzy drinks and hair braids, all that I wasn't expecting. For the work, effort and things she brought I thought it was a very reasonably priced party and my daughter and her friends had a wonderful time. What Katie does seems to be done with passion and desire to do well. I think she needs to be given a break.
