Does anyone else feel like nothing with this lot makes any sense?

I mean, how good can the BSB be doing if they're having cash-and-carry sales every month to dump unsold inventory?

That's how I feel.  Seems like it's a hobby for them and they make their money off social media.  They do these cash and carry events a lot, to me.  I've said before, I don't think they know how to keep inventory.

Have they even acknowledged that they choose to stock their store with cheap Chinese crap? 

I don't know.  I remember seeing huge bundles of clothing wrapped in see through wrapping up on their shelving and I thought China!  

Has anybody here purchased anything?  A quick look at a label would tell the tale.

All the stores in the Western world are full of clothing made in China with an occasional Vietnam, Thailand or India. Why would theirs be any different?

It does seem like some is a little higher quality than others.  I look at a lot of labels always hoping to find Made In USA. Mostly China and viet nam!

The bundles I saw in their shops were the size of a hay bundle and looked like hundreds in a bundle. I’m thinking really cheap and low quality!

Because they are the types to vilify China, IMO. They could have chosen to feature local small businesses and designers.

Carlin posted in her stories on Instagram. She had another episode, and blamed herself because she “didn’t know” she was supposed to be back on her meds. She’s going to go back on them, but not until after the cash and carry today.

Well they are at the 10 week point in Evan's FMLA. Just saying.

So, after weeks and weeks of telling us all how terrified she was, how serious her condition was, how dangerous the situation was; Carlin didn't get clear instructions from the doctor as to what to do about her meds, medication that she herself felt was helping her?  That she waited until she had another problem to ask?  I don't believe for one minute that she did not receive written instructions post EEG that clearly stated she should resume all pre-procedure medications until her doctor got the results and could interpret them.  

I think we're going to get the tearful announcement that Evan has had to quit his beloved job after just a couple of months because Carlin needs him at home with her 24/7.  They'll never cop to the reality that his full time, regular employment gets in the way of their trips and fun.  They must be making a bundle from their online presence.

Carlin is either willfully ignorant or a lying liar. My money's on the latter.

And how will they ever manage to follow directions if one of their kids gets sick and needs treatment/medications?  Poor excuse for parents.

Well they don’t seem too concerned about any of this. When Layla was having issues, the main issue was that Carlin couldn’t handle taking her to doctors appointments or tests. Someone always had to go with her.

From my job I know too well the games folks play with their meds. I can almost guarantee you it went something like this...

  • Carlin: They want me to restart the meds
  • Evan: Okay
  • C: But I hate them, they make me feel loopy and tired
  • E: But you need them
  • C: Huh, but maybe I don't. I haven't had an episode since before the EEG, maybe it wasn't the meds, maybe the episodes just stopped
  • E: Huh, maybe
  • C: I'm not gonna take them
  • E: Okay

OR .... its all bullshit and its all been resolved for a while and they're weaseling their way to some kind of end. Like, oh "on meds", all good now.

Add in as an excuse - they make me gain weight.  Don't know if they do, but, I believe it would factor into a decision she makes.

Looking at the size of the crowd, I can't help but wonder if BSB is biting themselves in the ass with the monthly sales. There's no point in ordering online at full price when you can grab three dresses for the price of one at the cash and carry. It looks like they have more unsold inventory than ever.

And of course Carlin had an episode at the store. Never has them when she's on vacation, traveling or doing anything fun, though. How convenient 🙄

Either the BSB is stupid or they have some contractual obligation to buy large lots of certain style dresses. If you look at their online shop, items are often sold out, yet they have boxes upon boxes of unsold shit. Or maybe they're being LuLaRued and they don't even choose what they order.

I think it says a lot when no one in their family seems to wear the clothes they sell. Also they didn't show anyone, not one person, walking out with a big haul purchase. Maybe most of the 'customers' were Bates fans or peepers.

I know I'm one of only a handful left that is still covid careful and I can for sure tell you that meeting the Bates, buying Lawson's shit or a flimsy dress, would not get me around crowds like that. 😷

You’re not alone in that. 🙂

And where she can be seen having those “episodes” and get a lot of attention. And she didn’t even miss her Starbucks run afterward. 😳

Same here! When I saw those pics of that crowded store it made me cringe.

I also thought her episodes are seeming staged.  How many times has it been now that she's had one at a cash-n-carry? Carlin is becoming a circus freak show.
