I guess she's being made to put her brand on fashion gear.

Free everything except shipping costs? I think the items will never get shipped out, be shoddy, or the shipping cost is the actual price inflated.

I believe so. There's also this tweet from a few days previous to that where she offers girls the opportunity to become a "brand ambassador" in exchange for a free bikini. Sounds like a scam.

Turns out the scam is charging $18 for "international shipping", images aren't really working right now: https://www.instagram.com/p/BUk3HaJgr1O
:powerlevel: I have a lot of experience with online sales and nothing makes people chimp out harder about buying online than charging a shit ton for shipping.
e.g. People consistently prefer paying $18 with free shipping, or even like, $15 with $3 shipping, rather than $18 for shipping for a free item, even though it's exactly the same cost in all three scenarios. This is why so many sites have free shipping and just build the cost into the product's price. It's the oldest trick in the book, but people don't like doing math, or wasting time picking out products and filling out their address only to get hit with some absurd shipping cost.

tl;dr it's a stupid plan, I doubt I needed to tell you all that

Also is it just me or is this a different bird she has now?
 
So I guessed close enough with the shipping being the actual cost of item.
With that big grin she's starting to look like Kai.

Hmm, in this video she says it doesn't matter if you order 1 or 10 bikinis, they're all free except the shipping.

But shouldn't the shipping go by weight as long as they all fit in a box? So if the fixed price is $18 international plus weight you should be able to get 10 bikinis for slightly more than just 1. Bikinis don't weight very much. I wonder if someone could figure out the max amount of free bikinis they could possibly order to minimize the shipping cost and get maximum value. And if you're in the US the fixed cost should be a lot less.

Also, why did she post the same videos over and over? She's spamming her own Instagram. Note that she calls the bird "Kiwi" so it's the same one.
 
Perhaps it is more likely that the Tesches won't actually send out the ordered bikinis or keep putting the delivery off with excuses.

It's per item. I added two to the cart and it was $36.

For what it's worth the Tesch's have never been very good with any of their money-making schemes.

Oh didn't we all have huge fantasy/sci-fi epics that were really terrible at one point?

I suddenly remember my supposed to be great-published-by-the-time-I'm-20 Fantasy epic. For some weird reason, I decided naming one of the main gods in my pantheon Zeus was a good idea. Because. Fuck if I know, reasons?

But then I decided. "Maybe it's not a good idea." so I changed it. To Zion.

Not sure why I'm cringing so hard.
 
Lol so many of those bikinis look like Aliexpress $3 lingerie. Same with the cheap shitty sunglasses.

And Glo's not modeling a single one of them, what the fuck is this? Has she gained a fucktonne of weight or something?
 
So she bought a ton of wholesale bikinis and is selling them for "shipping" which probably costs her 2.00. If she bought enough, she could have gotten the bikinis for under a dollar. But she'd probably have to buy a thousand.

Does she have that many people who'd pay $18.00 for shipping? You can buy them cheaper, even in places you can try them on.

Seems quite the comedown for the youngest author on the world and a movie star.

I don' think that's Gloria. It's the closest looking model, but she doesn't have the dead fish stare and the extrene underbite. If it is Glo that's been photoshopped to hell and back

That definitely looks just like her. Now you've got me comparing it to other pics of her. I went through her Twitter looking for closeup pics in good lighting. Here's the best one.

They both have green eyes, and similar noses and eyebrows. The girl's chin looks smaller, though. So it could be her photoshopped.

They also seem to have the same shaped belly button.
