Reading between the lines, I think BeeBop meant to say 878 thousand - a little over half of last season's 1.5 million average. Anyway, thank you to BeeBop for serving some delicious red meat to the base!

If true, having to deny who she is for so long would help to explain Meri's deep unhappiness. The only bad thing I can see about it being true is that admitting it could blow up her world and her place in that world. I don't think the other adults would accept her like they appear to be doing with Mariah. The catfishing was a short term betrayal of the family and I think they would be much less compassionate about what would most likely be perceived by them as a long term betrayal.

I also was in beauty school during the shampoo set days. With only a couple of exceptions, they were a lovely bunch of ladies and definitely our bread and butter. They were also titanic mistresses of snark! A couple years earlier a student had miscalculated a color formula and the result was pine green/forest green hair! But the client loved it and the student had to rack her brain figuring out where she went wrong so she could write it down and keep doing it that way. The client's sister was a weekly also and she insisted on getting the same shade from then on and was miffed that her sister beat her to the best look ever! The school named the color after them and I thought I would always remember their names but sadly I don't. I lived there for another 10 or so years and I could spot those two around town from 50 yards. At 68, I'm maybe 5% gray and was a natural blonde until my mid 20s. My hair gradually darkened with age to the point where I can't do blonde highlights anymore - can't lift it enough levels w/o major damage. So I do eggplant or cobalt lowlights which are subtle indoors and dy-no-mite outdoors. I was Blown Away when I saw in that one video how Mariah turns her modest but decent light-colored eyebrows into those thick, nearly black caterpillars. In addition to the dark, drab hair color those brows are tremendously unflattering. Given Mariah's personality, it sorta telegraphs "Chip On My Shoulder."

I think Meri is A-OK with anyone in the family joining in as long as they increase her profits. With the way pyramid schemes work, you make $$$ off everyone you recruit. But if they horned in on "her" scheme without making $$$ for her ... THAT would rile a bitch.

Yet another series where, for the first few seasons, I kept thinking "Hoo boy, the complete seasons boxed set at the end of this is gonna be AWESOME!" How wrong I was, again. I am sick and fucking tired of ego-tripping show runners.

Very unfortunately, I think this is just the beginning of the MILF-with-sexualized-baby competition. The three who currently have babies are the worst at defining and respecting boundaries. Can Khloe's offering be far behind? 3, 2, 1 ...

Every seller is told to figure out her own Why because it's personal and different for everyone. After you figure out what your Why is you follow through by Living it. One example: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-i-became-lularoe-consultant-whats-your-sunny-lee

That posing is the LLR principle called Shopping The Body. Wear that shit everywhere, all the time, every day, talk it up and post lots of photos because every pair of eyeballs is a potential sale. The other big, basic principle is called Fake It Til You Make It. The fur is gonna fly when Christine, Maddie and Mariah end up losing what they invested. ($4-6K each).

Me TOO. [After the World Series, that is. Go Blue!]

I wonder how much time was spent convincing her to wear pants for that photo shoot.

Due to the time slot, MJ rarely catches a break. It seems like 90% of major news happens after they sign off or on Friday/over the weekend. By the time they're seated at the table or assembled in their bunkers again every major story has already been covered in depth (and better) by others.

There were also comments on Reddit re problems with black garments, especially those from the all-black Noir collection in 2017. Those in the know claim that returned merch was dyed black after being bleached to remove (some of) the original colors, resulting in complaints about black dye bleeding badly onto skin even if washed before wearing. Woe to those who didn't wash the garments with like colors! And with enough washing the original pattern would "show" under the black. Residual bleach would repel the dye, right? 'cause you just know they weren't doing enough rinses to thoroughly remove the bleach. Meri's apparent success thus far dumbfounds me, given her shitty personality in addition to a shitty product.

I've been reading some LLR horror stories in threads at Reddit from 7-14 days ago, mostly about what was learned at the woke LLR FB site where they were posting about Meri being a bitch. It's a closed group called LuLaRoe Defective/Ripped /Torn Leggings And Clothes where former sellers gripe and snark together (current sellers ban their members when they catch them belonging to the gripe group - I guess the mods float the member list for the right incentive? I didn't get that part). So, you got your uplines, your sponsors and your mentors. And your Top 100 consultants, who appear to have immunity from the compliance codes that the lessers must follow. Such as offering items at discount and promoting the offering of the discounts. I read a long tiff about it between a consultant and her sponsor, which was tossed to a mentor. IIRC there were some posts here about static in LLR because Meri was using her D-list status to promote her items illegally. Sales are now so slow that at the last conference (Meri was there, right?), 30 sellers exited the Top 100. Near the bottom of the totem pole are those who will unload 1000s (!) of pieces at a huge loss. At the very bottom of the totem pole, scorn or sympathy is directed at those who signed on within the last year because they are assured of losing everything they invested - Maddie, Christine, Mariah (?). Sellers who cancel out before returning their merch are better off than those who return their merch with their cancellation because refunds are slow in coming and much less than anticipated. Aaaand the topper is that LLR is nearing bankruptcy and about to change its refund policy from cash to credit. Meri will come the fuck unglued when LLR goes under.

She gave herself the loooong torso and loooong thighs of her dreams. Bwahaha! (I think part of the reason she injected her ass/hips was to balance the width of her shoulders). What a pathetic, needy skank. Does she personally teach her kids about privacy/modesty and "good touch/bad touch" or is that farmed out to the staff? At what (early) age will North be sporting kiddie ass floss? Sorta gives new meaning to "no one except Mommy and Daddy can touch what your swimsuit covers" ...

This made me realize how often I've heard "out of whack" while not hearing "in whack" even once. "How's your week?" "Good, good, can't complain. Everything's in whack." LOL

FFS, it just hit me that MM thinks that she is Erica Jayne, in a parallel universe. Ah, yes, the resemblance is striking.

Welp, I liked one comment on that page, that it's not a 'fro just a bad hair day. I think her chest in that bodice is what's offensive, LOL

Adding insult to injury they pull the election shit with the least advantaged, least confident, least able to protest and defend themselves and be believed. It's like kicking puppies. Fuckers.

But, truly, it's not nearly half and I don't know why that is consistently overlooked on the shows I watch (and I watch a whole lotta shows). 56% of the eligible population voted in '16 and 44% did not vote. As percentages of all those eligible, 25.7% voted for Trump and 26.9% voted for Hillary. But I rarely hear this on MSNBC or CNN.

I saw him with Brian Williams last night so of course I thought of Bernie Bernstein. I'm glad you enjoyed it - there isn't much to laugh about lately. Remember when he was late and tried to blame it on a technician? Classic! https://www.newscaststudio.com/2018/01/22/morning-joe-guest-blamed-technician-late-everything-fell-apart/

I don't think she did the editorial very well considering that most of her career consists of reading in front of a camera. Her segue was awkward, and she started the script like she was tense or nervous and for most of it her voice was pitched too high. Toward the end she toned it down some but it still wasn't alto Mika, who would have sounded less like a scold. Joey came close to stepping on her last couple words in his haste to say Thank you, Mika, thank you everyone at the table.
