Meri Brown and her Wet Bar of Tears

Meri and her "safe place". The place she throws out there any time someone get close to calling her out on her BS. I enjoyed watching Janelle/Christine become frustrated with her. Everyone walks around on eggshells for Meri and she DOES bring baggage/bad vibes every time she enters a room. 

I wish they'd all ignore Meri's warnings about her "wall" and "safe place" and give her the full on verbal assault (truth) she deserves to hear.

Yes, Eeyore. I can see it. 

"EVERYONE HATES ME. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I BELONG IN THE family. I think I should eat some worms."

Off topic but are any of you in the Midwest? We are getting hit with blizzards, and I'm over it. Depressing, it's like we will never get spring.

Getting sleet and freezing rain here in New England. Nothing like a nice coating of ice on the spring house flag!

It's crazy right? I was visiting family in WI for 2 storms. Even got to shovel! Now back in the much warmer southwest. 

And lol, Meri should do what the song says--her new safe place should be a well-stocked worm bin.

[LilWharveyGal]

Boy, she sure gets around these days.  And it's clearly NOT the B&B that's keeping her away from the bosom of her loving fambly.

[Absolom]

Did she plan to stand with the antenna or whatever right behind her giving her a martian hat look?

[suomi]

The shoes are not awful.

[tabloidlover]

Again with the too small jacket.   She really isn't a hat person, someone should tell her.

Damn, I hate those frigging hashtags plugging LuLaNo.  

And get that brown tooth fixed, once and for all.  Gawd.

I'm gonna disagree here, I like the hat. Jacket is a little better, but still a bit too small. Looks like she lost some weight.

[PolygamyDoesntWork]

She does look smaller, I agree. Also, I love her LulaRoe friend's hair. Cute. 

Wonder if she's visiting Sam in Chicago. Oh wait, he's in Paris with the wifey and batdoptions, doing cheerleader poses between vegan snacks. 

[ginger90]

Apparently she’s in Chicago for New Trainer Training. It’s $49. , and she would be responsible for her own transportation, and lodging. Funny Kody didn’t go. This is on the page about it:

We would love to see you make this a priority for you and your spouse. Spouses are welcome and encouraged to come as they are a part of your T.E.A.M. Tickets for the training will be $49 per person. Please plan on arranging your own travel and accommodations. This is an important first step in your LuLaRoe Leadership journey. Also, this is where you'll be personally gifted your LuLaRoe Trainer watch. 
 

[Kohola3]

Guess she doesn't read the papers about the problems at LuLaNo.  Seems like she's determined to stay with the sinking ship.

So if it's $49 for the course (which should go towards paying LuLaRoe's expenses for the "seminar"), that watch has to be worth about $1.50.

BTW, Meri looks better in that picture than she's looked in a long time.  But we were starting at a very low bar.

[xwordfanatik]

After I posted earlier, I remembered that Sam the Sham was Chicago-based.  Oh, the irony!  No wonder Doofus didn't go.  They might run into "him."  LOL

Had that happened, Kody may have been forced to back up his bravado. I think when Kody was huffing and puffing when he first learned of "Sam" he was threatening to take "him" out or something to that effect.

I don't believe he was making this statement to protect Meri's honor but rather he was expressing outrage that his house of cards was about to crumble.

Next season we'll have to keep our eyes peeled for Meri's impressive new bling.

 

[xwordfanatik]

Interesting that the watch doesn't have a hideous print background.  It's ugly anyway :(

@Sandy W, I totally agree.  Doofus was ready to spit nails when the Sam Saga exploded.  His act of "protecting Meri" was not convincing at all.  He was just worried about having to get his lazy ass off Robyn's sofa and getting a job, poor baby.

[Sandy W]

Looks like the same quality precision timepiece that was carried by Sister Wives Closet.  I doubt that any of them made it into Kody's extensive watch collection.

[ginger90]

When I looked to see what was going on in Chicago, there was a snippet of an article listed. It was from a previous conference, and it was about the dress code. It said not to wear the leggings as pants. Found it funny!

Well Chicago is known as the "windy city" and LLR leggings are known for ripping in inappropriate places.  Not a good look for their reps to have ripples waving in the breeze.

[TurtlePower]

I actually like her outfit for once. Now, if she would only attend to her brassy hair--she really needs to go from brassy to ashy. 

[ginger90]

[AZChristian]

Visiting ghosts in Chicago?  Maybe she WAS looking for Sam.  "He" was like a ghost in her past.

Omg I laughed so hard just now at this watch ?

From all the pix I've seen of these overpriced LLR demin jackets, apparently that's the way they're meant to fit. 

Yeah I know - crazy!

I wonder if they are trying to save on their cheap fabric.  The sleeves seem to fit but there isn't enough cloth for the danged thing to close.  That big gap just looks so wrong but I supposed it's to show off their garish, hideous prints underneath.

I'm confused by the sweater-over-the-hoodie look here - that's a new one on me.

On the plus side, Meri does have pretty eyes.

[Absolom]

Meri looks like she didn't have a heavy enough jacket with her for a turn in the weather so she layered what she had.

A 2 XL can be buttoned on a size 10 person but nothing smaller?  WTF?  Clearly they do NOT want these things to be buttoned.

Yeah, I gotta give her a pass on this one. If I were schlepping around Chicago in the cold I'd layer whatever I could. As long as it's warm, it wouldn't matter if it were stripes and polka dots.

That video was very informative, so props to the former consultant.

I think she could get the xl buttoned too - but really, a size 10 needs an extra large? That's crazy.

So many depressing things about this... Kody’s hair. LulaRoe. Meri’s desperation. Kody’s hairline. Meri’s hair. That sad street corner in one of the most architecturally significant cities on Earth. Polygamy. But mostly Kody’s hair.

Sad thing is that she is willing to settle for 25% of THAT, or whatever portion of himself he is willing to distribute to her.

Lawd, they now have matching rat's nests on their head.  Except Kootie's nest isn't quite as big.  Combs, people, combs.  They can be purchased in any dollar store.

And conditioner! And it’s okay to give your hair a day off from washing and styling sometimes!

Whoopie. "28 years together and still here." I guess it doesn't matter that you are both miserable.

Because you're still together! Right, together long enough to take an anniversary selfie so you can show everyone how deeply in love you are. With your husband of 28 years who wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole. 

Separate hotel rooms. A hundred bucks says they slept in separate hotel rooms.

Maybe there wasn't enough conditioner in the little bottle that came free with the room to do the job ... or did Kody just forget to rinse it out of his hair? 

[Mindthinkr]

I was in the car the other day and came to a stop light. In between all the political posters that litter the area was one that advertised a “Massive LulaRoe Closeout Sale”. How long are they going to perpetrate that these styles and patterned prints sell? Needless to say I didn’t even note the location as it gets a hard pass from me.

That’s probably why he went on the last day, no hotel room!

Why does Meri even bother with these public announcements of "happiness"?  It's pathological. Maybe the only reason Kody is smiling is because he is about to be released to go back home.

I find that to be true about many ordinary people's social media posts, frankly, which is why I am not on any of those sites. Was on Facebook for years, got off in August 2016 and haven't looked back. It's so liberating. Someone once described real life vs people's Facebook lives as "Comparing someone's Highlight Reel to your the Behind the Scenes." I love that description.

Unfortunately if you are any kind of celebrity and want to stay at all relevant, you have to post on at least a couple of those sites.

[Christi]

Wonder if they boinked?

[riverblue22]

Meri looks very happy!

That's very true.  I once quit FB for a while because of this; everyone else's lives seemed so much better than my own; it was depressing! Quitting FB was liberating, but I lost touch with some family members.  Came back on and downsized to family/actual friends and still, there's always the humble-braggart or person posting several times a day, jonesing for "likes" (not referring to this site, just FB).

They may need to be on these sites, but celebrities can control what they post. Meri seems to want a lot of validation, so much so that the pronunciation of her name should change: Meeeee-rye. It goes right along with the pronunciation of Lehi!
