Well, Kody does seem to have a thousand-yard stare going on, lol. On a positive note, I do think it was nice that Kody made an effort to see Meri on their anniversary, whatever the circumstances. If he “purports” her to be his wife, at least in spiritual name, he should at least acknowledge their anniversary in some way.

it would be interesting to see if Kody arrived alone or if he brought anyone else to Chicago or if he just made a stop (it is a hub) on his way elsewhere.

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!

I definitely miss out on some stuff by not being on Facebook, so that is a downside. Family members will be talking about stuff in front of me and I'll have no idea what they mean and then one of them will go "Oh that's right you're not on Facebook." But I think I get filled in on the important stuff, LOL.

I've thought about going back on and severely limiting my friend list, but the problem there is even some of my family members tweak me out with their posts! Love them dearly, but they frequently fall under the "attention whore" category. 

And yes Meri absolutely falls under that category as well!

Since Kootie did an interview to everyone listening and said he has no desire for physical interaction, I doubt it.  But he is a horndog so....

[xwordfanatik]

Kootie definitely looks like he's got cooties.

Kody looks like a cross between Benjamin Franklin and a billy goat, and yet manages to be less attractive than either.

I'm going to go with no and that this was filmed as part of the "working on their marriage" story line for TLC. That is why he was there for only one day and it was probably paid for by TLC. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lifted a finger or paid a penny to go. Plus Meri tweeted it out to shut down the haterz and keep some interest going with her Fans for next season.

In other words, all a farce.

[ginger90]

None of the other wives, or Kody,  tweeted anything about the anniversary. 

[lookeyloo]

And Meri is beaming.  Looks like a real smile. Good acting?

Delusional is my guess. She probably believes any time Kody makes an effort to do anything with her, it's all better (or about to be). 

[mamey2422]

I thought this article offered a good perspective  of what it’s like to be in a MLM business like Meri is in with LuLaRoe. It is not a pretty picture. 

How Women Are Fighting the Marketers That Nearly Ruined Them

A couple of highlights:

“Even at the most legitimate MLMs, like Amway, the odds of making a profit are infinitesimal.”

I 100% believe Meri is in debt with her LLR business and probably hiding the severity of it from Kody and the SWs. Also, the Browns really have no business sense.

“These companies prey on people who are looking for community and looking for somewhere to belong.”

Meri was prime for the taking  by LLR. 

“These MLMs cut you off from everybody,” Young said. “They tell you that if someone is being negative about your journey or ‘business venture’ to block them immediately and cut them off from your life. They tell you that ‘you don’t need negative people in your life.’ They say that instead of listening to people you love and hearing them out, just block them.”

Meri fits right in.

Just like cults - I bet David Koresh and Jim Jones lured their followers in with the same rhetoric.  Their followers were told to ignore outsiders and cut off friends and family.

Hey, just like the FLDS nuts.  I'm seeing a pattern here. LuLaNo just leaves out the prophet part of the equation.

Of course hundreds of sycophants will still squeal with glee and beg her for it. She’s a celebrity, after all. 

That’s some marketing too. She received it in the mail and now she may just be giving it away?  Is LuLaNo selling jewelry now too? Just strange.

[Kohola3]

Nothing says LuLaNo like a pendant made of nooses.

[xwordfanatik]

Join Meri's exclusive LuLaNo group, and you may win this ugly necklace, to go with your ugly leggings, that you begged her to have a chance to buy, because Meri is so doggone special!  No charge for the rude comments she may send you!  Whatta deal.

A tad late on this but since TLC is steering clear of LLR, I don't think there was any filming going on. 

I think that Kody just couldn't resist being the BMOC at the LLR Leadership meeting, and Meri appealed to his vanity since she's apparently one of the top sellers.

It was the last day, so I'm guessing there was no reason to get another hotel room. 

Plus, maybe he was craving awesome pizza.

You should just meander over to the LLR social media and see what they're coming out with now. Yikes.

Oh Dear Me!!!  The wide horizontal stripes with florals on their plus size models, loud and proud.

The open toe wedgies with ankle socks may be practical, saves on pedicures.

I like the necklace too! I think it's very pretty.

As for men cutting their hair and shaving - my own dear Mr. Gothish refuses to cut off his mostly-gray, wiry mullet. Nothing I do or say will make him get rid of it. He also has a scruffy full beard that he shaves down to a goatee in the spring - I like the beard/goatee though, I think it's sexy, lol.

ETA: Mr. Gothish does sport a mustache full-time as well, not that it necessarily matters, as some men can pull off the Abe Lincoln look.

Yeah, not a good look,imo. Some of the pieces were Ok separately,but mixed and  matched weird for my taste. Most of the looks got a "wtf?" from me.

I have a feeling that the LLR business will peter out eventually for Meri, and she'll be on to something else.

Holy smokes!  That jacket is about $100!  Can't ya just get one at Ross for about $25?  If I am spending that much on a jean jacket, I am going with Levi.  If I am going for any ole jean jacket I am going with something WAY cheaper.  And we now know this jacket COULD be had in Meri's size but she chose one too small.

[xwordfanatik]

Maybe Meri is the type who thinks, well, I'm going on a diet next week, and in a month or so, it'll fit.

Nah, maybe not.  She probably thinks she looks good in a size 10, when she's really a 16/18.  Not fat shaming here, but I've been fat, and never did I wear a jacket or top (or anything, really) that I couldn't button or zip up.

Well you could be rational and choose to save money, but then you'd deprive yourself of the priceless experience of #LivingYourWhy.  It's Meri logic!

I used to be a 26/28 and now I'm a size 10/8, I try to wear pants some times that are a 16 and literally cannot. I look like a hobo and they don't fit. Fit makes the clothes look good or bad. I'd love to style Meri. 

First I'd get Meri a nice auburn hair dye, get her hair cut and straightened. I'd have her makeup done in autumn tones to match her skin tone. 

I'd get that tooth fixed, no offense.

I'd have her wear some denim jeans that are her size without white stitching and some cute non-striped 3/4th sleeve cotton shirts with a tiny bit of a plunging neck line.

 

Some cute boots too, not weird wedgie heals.

While you're at it, do something about those eyebrows.  Mariah was right, although hers are just as weird.

Meri has been busy with the bronzer for so long, it's hard to determine just what her actual skin tone is.

Target's got a nice one in the stores now for $29.99. $100 is ridiculous!

In Chicago do you think Meri did meet up with the Lindz? Sammy was bragging on twitter that a true friendship has blossomed between The Lindz and the "real" Jackie Overton. She claims the Lindz and Jackie hung out in Dallas this past weekend where Jackie Overton happily resides with her husband and magically produced three "boys". 

Such a strange lie because the "real" Jackie Overton was a lesbian (not that there's anything wrong with that) and now she's randomly "straight"? 

I don't understand the catfish's lies. She's been busted publicly and somewhat legally and yet the notbatdoucheyet blog and twitter continue, with always resounding Meri stalking still going on. 

FFS, Overton...no one believes you're this Sam or Lindsay character. You live in Shidler, Oklahoma with your weird scamming mother in a hovel. You're forty-five and alone without a job, any friends, no love interests -- Meri wins. Hands down.

And even she sucks.

[drabadi]

what is it with meri and those shoes???  i never noticed them till i started reading posts here, but then started to see that she wears them ALL the time.   does she have huge, gigantic feet or something?  because those are the kind of shoes that people wear who have fat feet, because they are adjustable.  She supposedly has enough money to buy two expensive houses but yet she cant afford a couple pairs of different shoes???

[AZChristian]

You guys are gonna love this.  I have had a brush with greatness!  (Okay, that might be a BIT of an exaggeration.)

We just got off a cruise on the Allure of the Seas.  It's the ship that LulaRoe completely chartered for their big cruise recently.  Passengers included our own Meri Brown (and probably about 5,400 other badly dressed guests).  

We had drinks in one of the bars on board one day, and it appears that they imprinted too many cocktail napkins for the LLR folks . . . either that, or the cruisers didn't drink as much as Royal Caribbean expected.  So here's one of my "souvenirs" from the ship!!

I'm taking bids, in case any of you are so jealous that you just have to have it.  Hurry and start the bidding before I throw this into the paper recycling bin today as I unpack.  LOL.

I'm so DONE with Overton, and I personally think she gets off on getting any mention by name. She deserves to be ignored at this point imo. 

If she tries to scam anyone else, there's enough stuff on the internet to keep things from getting too far IMO. 

But please, no more.

I didn't get that vibe from Meri at all, judging by her reaction when Mariah made her big reveal, the whole concept of lesbianism was totally foreign to Meri.

It seems to me that Meri has attached herself to Cheryl to lend credibility to her being easy prey for J.O.  Sort of like saying...See, I'm not the only that fell for this.  I think she is using Cheryl to deflect culpability for her own involvement.  The part Meri will gloss over, is that while Cheryl was also a victim of J.O., she was a single woman and was not betraying a marital commitment.

Dear @Sandy W, this is my third ILY ecard I've sent today.  <3

I think you nailed it, I totally agree.  Meri thinks that if she and Cheryl are friends, she's excused from her emotional betrayal of Kody.  Meri will never admit to what really went on, but she can't erase those embarrassing pictures, ever.

Why Thank You, xwordfanatic, I feel I have found spirit friends and family here.  It's great that the dialogue can continue on the Brown's foibles and frauds with the help of the sharp eyed posters here who pick up on the SM activities and post them for discussion and dissection and I really appreciate the fact that differing opinions are treated with courtesy.

You are so right about erasing history, the family may forgive Meri for the sake of family unity, but those images and the words spoken will be indelibly etched on Kody's giant ego.

To me, it seems as if she doesn't actually want anyone staying, but is going through the motions to appear she is putting in an "effort". She has a website that accepts reservations but has half-assed information and is rudimentary IMO. She's not on TripAdvisor........TripAdvisor especially! Many people, myself included, use it when traveling through towns to see what's worthwhile there as reported by other travelers. She must not want anything reported........I mean, she only offers cinnamon rolls. 

I suspect it's her backup escape home. The only way the fam-bly would approve is if she put it out there as a business venture, versus just buying her family's old home.
