Leon Brown: So Here's Me

[MargeGunderson]

I wouldn’t be surprise if Mariah wanted more people around in order to blunt Kody and Meri’s reaction. She was probably expecting them to flip out and thought they might be more restrained in front of others. I don’t blame her.

[itsadryheat]

Agree with both of you.

Those three have such strained relationships and wasn’t this close after the catfish debacle.

If she had respected them, she would have talked to them privately first. Reflecting on what had transpired prior to the “announcement” she may have not had a respectful attitude, wanted to stick it to them (surprise!), and had the others to buffer her from ma and pa drama.

If this stuff is scripted, they did a pretty good job acting this scene.

While looking for that episode, I saw a clip where Meri says something like Kody always had a closer relationship with Mariah. Yet we see Mariah living with Meri and not in Flagstaff with Kody. Appears the close relationship may have shifted.

I think so too.  She probably knew Christine & Janelle's presence would mellow out Meri & Kodouche's reactions.

I'm pretty sure their divergent political views and Mariah's stridency about hers have driven a wedge between her and her father.

Mariah's just following the money, IMO.  Kootie spends his time & money on Robyn.  The other women probably have to settle for peanuts from Dear Old Dad.  

[Jeanne222]

Just thinking.  Maybe TLC met Mariah and said no thank you to taping her wedding!

Can you imagine how she would respond to being in the spot light?

Gives me the shivers just thinking about it and maybe they backed off!  Not worth the trouble!

And how do they know what size/shape and type each one needs?

I thought those looked like dog biscuits too.  Presumably each menstruator has their emotional support dog with them.

If Mariah is caring for the recipients the same way she cares for her own cute li'l uterus (and why wouldn't she?), the kit must also include a letter excusing said recipient from work, an emotional support animal, and a week's supply of vegan lattes and brunches.

[Jeanne222]

Being such a big star and social media butterfly she certainly didn't receive much to distribute to her family,  I mean charity..homeless.

Some ladies in our church were putting these kits together.  Pads, wipes, hand sanitizer, soap, new underwear, in addition to shampoo, toothpaste and a toothbrush.  They collected money, and then went and bought new products to distribute.  If available, they would put everything in a homemade tote bag.  They distributed about 100 packs per month.  They were very popular with the homeless population that would come on Saturdays for food and clothing.  The new underwear was very much appreciated.

wow that’s not a good look

Mariah looks like a man 

[laurakaye]

Mariah was a curly-haired baby so I think her curls are natural, but I agree that the dark hair color looks harsh on her.  And while I don't care what Pudge does to her hair, I'm sad that Audge cut her gorgeous mane.  I'm trying to think about how this went down - Mariah chopped hers first and then demanded that Audge cut hers too?  In solidarity for - what?  Gender euphoria?  Rage at the world?  Uterus relief?  Saving the bees?  Mariah typically doesn't do anything without a long angry diatribe.  I'm very surprised she didn't have an entire IG story about why she cut her hair.

Also, she looks a lot more like Kody now.  Yeesh.

I too am a COL in need of enlightenment.  It is my understanding that there are sometimes diverse appearances within the lesbian community.  There are those that are considered "lipstick lesbians", with feminine characteristics and "butch or dyke" for those with a more masculine appearance.  I think it's unacceptable for those not in the community to use the terms "butch" or "dyke".  

I can't speak to how Mariah and Audrey feel but as a butch lesbian here's my .02:

Calling someone butch as a descriptor is fine with me. In other words, if you were describing me to someone else and said "that butch looking woman" I'd have zero issue with it. If you called me butch in a pejorative way I'd be unhappy. 

Dyke is a term that has been reclaimed by some in the community but I do not recommend using it in everyday conversation-it's still generally considered a slur. 

Admittedly, I'm probably 15+ years older than Mariah and Audrey, which is an eternity in terms of coming out experiences, but that's my thought.

Also, on a personal level in general: While yes, some women look better with longer hair, some of just don't feel comfortable with that. Mariah and Audrey might feel more themselves now than they did before, and that's what's most important. I might be a little more sensitive to this since I still get comments from relatives about how "you used to look so nice with long curly hair and makeup" but honestly the idea of my hair being long these days sends me into a near-panic attack. It's more than just a hairstyle for me, it's a major part of feeling better in my own skin to have my hair cut short. Gender and sexuality are complicated, and I can't speak to Mariah and Audrey, but while I definitely identify as a woman, I'm very masculine in my dressing style and being more feminine makes me deeply unhappy and uncomfortable. It's less of a spectrum and more of a big mashed up ball (kind of like Doctor Who's wibbly whimey timey whimey stuff but with gender and sexuality).

But what about us, TLC.  

We, the loyal, no life fans that have watched every episode of this fake greek drama in hiding, in fear of family and friends finding out we watch this shitshow. We know the good stuff is not filmed, yet we watch and snark here, behind a fake name, hoping for a bit of the good stuff. High five for the Meri catfish saga. The Flagstaff move has been a huge snore.

C'mon TLC,  we deserve this wedding!

Mariah reminds me of a 13-year old girl going through an awkward stage. All that’s missing is braces and acne.  I don’t mind short haircuts for women, but both those styles are awful. And when you get a bad short haircut, there is no place to hide (ask me how I know, lol).

[Rabbit Hutch]

For me, it's not so much the haircut but the woman beneath it.  The cut could work, but Mariah is a such a social justice monster that she will never look attractive in my mind.  Now, Audrey's hairdo is just awful.  She was a pretty girl before she began seeing Mariah.

[Jeanne222]

I know what Mariah's new haircut reminds me of.  A birds nest!  Yep that's what it looks like!

I kept looking at it and finally a light came on!

I'd love to have one of our accomplished posters put a bird in it!  Remember the hose pictures!  Lol

They've talked about it on the show - I think it's a given that it'll be aired. 

As a counterpoint, Logan's engagement has never been mentioned. Good for him taking back his life - I hope Janelle asks permission before using his photo in her SM feed.

I know I normally post actual posts here. This time it’s the absence of a post that’s odd. Gwendlyn posted a happy birthday to Audrey in her stories the other day. Mariah did not acknowledge it on Instagram, and Meri didn’t either. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[laurakaye]

Mariah missed an opportunity to tell us that she's gay and in a relationship with Audge?  That is not like her at all.  Perhaps Audge decided that her birthday was a great opportunity to extricate herself from the smelly clutches of an egomaniacal, constantly angry, do-nothing girlfriend.  We can only hope!

She checked in here a month or so ago.  She was starting a new business venture that was taking a lot of time and attention, along with I think she has a toddler at home.  Hopefully, we'll see more of her when the episodes resume.  I miss her too.

[laurakaye]

Incidentally, this past weekend Mariah was back to her expletive-laden virtual fist-shaking rage on her IG stories, in case many of you were worried that she'd lost her touch.  While I agree that there is a lot to feel rage over, dropping the f-bomb and calling her followers names is no longer interesting, or necessary, or anything.  Ms. Love and Namaste is doing her level best to dismiss and demean everyone who has the misfortune to look at her page - plus she's basically verbalizing what most people already think, minus the snide remarks and name-calling.  She's not helping anyone, or anything, to improve.  She can sit down and eat some more Rice Krispie treats and STFU.

Mariah is a loudmouth halfwit who is so busy yelling at everyone she is incapable of listening. 

Mariah should drop yoga and try boxing. It would be more honest (also I'd love to see someone get in the ring and wipe the floor with her). Pretty sure she'd be too afraid to even try, given she couldn't yell, post or tantrum her way out of it.

The 80s called - they want their eyeglass frames back.

(I had the same frames as Audrey in 1987.)

[iwantcookies]

They look like twins. Seriously the same face. I can’t tell them apart 
 

 

[suomi]

Yeah, I don't think they have to look girly, I respect that. At least I think I do. But their transformations are not flattering in the least. Guys can choose the wrong look for themselves as well and if it was two guys I would think the same thing.

Mariah is no beauty but she looked much better before the makeover. I think they're making a "we're in your face" statement but I do not understand why, that's for sure. Gah, I sound like my mother and grandmother!

One of the first comments mentions the upcoming wedding so my guess that they already got married is mistaken. Or, they did get married but it's not real until it happens on camera.

[Joan of Argh]

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's all about being "IN YOUR FACE" and probably a little of "we'll look and dress however we Want!!"

I'm thinking..no problem...."if you want to go around looking like a pudgy, unattractive man-boy go for it!"

They look like every 20-something masculine of center lesbians...I think they look fine, but also I'm 80% sure I have a similar shirt to the one Audrey is wearing, and I definitely dressed similarly to that when I was 23. I'm a little more cleaned up now that I'm almost 40 but the mac of center aesthetic is definitely my wheelhouse and I think they're right in line with that style. Might not be everyone's taste, but there's nothing odd about how they're dressed. 

[Absolom]

I think performative is the definition of Mariah's life since she was in her late teens.  I hope eventually she finds and fills what is missing in her life.  

[DakotaJustice]

I can't resist sharing a comment I just saw on Reddit saying Audrey's haircut is reminiscent of Kim Jong-Un.
