The photo is apparently from a few months ago (and was deleted pretty quick) but it has gone viral recently.
Rose claims she didn't know it was a Nazi hat, but uh, apparently there were people dressed like Nazis at the party she attended. (Like, the guy in the background of the photo looks SUPER creepy with that coat)
I just wish she would have been honest and said, "Sorry guys, I did something stupid and I'm embarrassed I didn't know what I was doing...." But instead she's all, "There's nothing to address. Trolls are making a bigger deal of it!" Just APOLOGIZE!!!
The most disgusting/annoying part? Her fangirls are all, "Haters gon' hate! You just keep being fabulous!"
The crap thing about all of this is that I'll bet she knew, was found out, doesn't care one way or another, and will continue to live a fully funded life of luxury. And people will still read and worship her blog.
Highlight it in the address bar and hit "enter" again. That's how I got it to come up.
You so smart!
And um, damn. Don't go all Paula Dean - just own up to your stupidity and apologize Rose. I'm surprised there are apparently a lot of people that wouldn't recognize Nazi garb
I can't believe she doesn't have enough common sense not to take pictures at a costume party where people are dressed in Nazi uniforms, let alone post a pic of herself wearing a cap with a swastica on it on FB. Either she's too stupid to live or she's just trying to increase traffic to her site.
i just can't get it up for this. i suspect she didn't realize what it was, and i don't think that's particularly flammable (probably b/c i, myself, have no clue). i'm more annoyed at the blog-reader culture that is so damn picky about blogger conduct. if she addresses it, she'll get ragged on. if she doesn't, she is ragged on. bloggers can't really win. i sort of get why she often ignores her readers.
Come on booby. How often have you linked blogs here, essentially to make fun of them?
I guess my point is bloggers are putting their lives out there, and if they do dumb shit, I'm not surprised they get called out. Rose is a huge target because of the life of luxury she portrays, so I don't feel bad one iota when she draws ire. Compare that to verona, who comes across as genuine and STILL gets criticized. GOMI in general is way over the top, but this is what happens.
I doubt Rose cares anyway, she's laughing all the way to the bank in her Nazi hat.

I definitely agree that some bloggers just can't win. You mentioned V and that's a perfect example. Her "haters" are always saying things like "She's so frivolous with her money!" then it's "She's so cheap and just stays home!!!!". She can't win.
But this? Yeah, she(Rose) is getting a big side-eye. Why? Because she is constantly doing these things. I really don't think I'm crazy PC, but every month she is insulting one culture after another. And there's never any remorse about it about.
Sure, maybe she's dumb. But doesn't she also supposedly work for PR/social media? She HAS to know better. Right?
Maybe she should stop getting free goodies from companies like BMW or vacations if she's going to be so dumb. I'm swear I'm not saying that because I'm JealousE either.
Really, I bet you would all recognize a Nazi uniform across the room. I know I've seen Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark enough times to identify that hat from a distance. LOL.
Did people seriously not learn about the Holocaust and WWII in school? How the hell can anyone not know wtf a swastika is or what a nazi uniform looks like? Are you people for fucking real?? This is HISTORY!

What is up with rich brits and nazis? Does anyone remember a few years ago Prince Harry dressed like a nazi for some party. Maybe someone should tell them about having an 80s theme party and to chill out with the nazis.
Am I the only one that can't make out any swastikas in the photo?
It's small in the photo, but this is the symbol that's on top of the hat. You'd see it if you were holding it. Seriously, I see that outline and know exactly what it is.
eh i cant get all up in arms without her defending herself. I prob would not have noticed at first and then when I did realize id remove too
I like her, hopefully this was a stupid mistake and not done intentionally
But it's one stupid mistake after another with her. Just a few months ago she put on the native American headpiece while in Fiji and said things, like "I have island fever!" and "I'm a savage" with a club in her hand. Then she made some ridiculous comments about Moroccans with a photo posted (and now deleted).
How can one travel throughout the world and be so ignorant or clueless?
I'm wondering if this in the comments is why the link is bad: "Rosie’s cronies got the thread moved to the private section. When you Googled ‘The Londoner’ before, the GOMI thread was 3rd on Google. Not good for someone whose entire life revolves around and is funded by free PR trips and advertising revenue. Someone kicked up a stink at it got moved."
Conspiracy!!1! I don't know who this girl is, but it sounds like she's an idiot. That is all the brilliance I have to add to this topic.
