Meri Brown and her Wet Bar of Tears

[TurtlePower]

We all know how the designer feels about people complaining about his clothes: He'll just make more of them. 

It's gotta be some kind of long-term experiment. Let's put out ugly designs and get people to think they are AWESOME, then let's get those people to sign up more people and see how long this can go on. If they complain, we'll make more ugly designs--which they will buy. Insanity.

A 6 year old took them out of grandma's attic steamer trunk, looks like.  Now all they need are high heels 4 sizes too big.  Awful and then some.

Speaking of shoes, it looks like Meri is once again wearing her toe-less suede booties.  Buckskin and lace is Meri's version of denim and diamonds.

That thing around her neck is the closest Meri has come to a "lei" in quite some time.  I'll go sit in the corner now.

[LilWharveyGal]

So many questions. Why is Meri wearing a lei? What happened to her leg? Why is the other woman in bedroom slippers?  Didn't dusters go out of fashion at least 10 years ago? When so many people qualify for the cruise is it really that elite?  (Though I guess that just means more potential friends Meri can feel "safe" with.) Why include "vision" in a hashtag when clearly anyone who wears this crap has lost their sense of vision?

The lei is probably indicative that the cruise is once again to Hawaii and the marks on her leg may indicate itchy legs are symbolic of a need to travel.

With that many LLR reps onboard, I hope that the company charters a private cruise ship for them.  I read last year that ordinary civilians had their cruise ruined by the gaggles of self-affirming LLR peeps RAH RAH RAH'ing all over the ship.

Next cruise is departing from Puerto Rico. 

If you think those outfits are bad, you should see the jeans that they announced last night...yikes.

[ginger90]

Saw this regarding the jeans: (15 washes?)

 

I am not at Convention - but I have chatted with my friends that are are and here is the run down on the fit:

The fabric is INCREDIBLE - made of mostly cotton  -some polyester and spandex.

There is a cropped and regular version - petite ladies rejoice! No cuffing needed!

The Jeans have a J Stitch to keep the fly facing flat.

Hook - area below the front zipper placed to prevent sagging.

Straight fused belt loops to keep loops flat and reinforced for sturdiness.

Extra Stitching on the Bar Tack to maintain endurance.

3 types of Denim: Indigo, Black and Sateen

Available in sizes 24-40 with 40+ coming soon!

About 15 washes.

All in all all who have tried them on have fallen in love!

 

At the moment we don't know pricing point and I don't know if I will be stocking them - if I decide not to I will find you an incredible retailer who will - come along to my groupso we can stay in touch!

[Sandy W]

I was intrigued by the claim that the multiple washes were done with recycled water.  My question would be......recycled from WHERE?

[DakotaJustice]

They sound just like the jeans I buy from Hollister for $25. 

Only based on the photos I've seen from yesterday mine fit much better. 

Or maybe the Pancake Ass look is in and I wasn't aware...

When did all those wrinkles become popular?  Ugleee!

I think I have seen those lei's in the dollar stores.  Varicose veins.  I agree about the shoes, they look better on thin women.  At least Meri's outfit matches, the other woman, not so much.  I'm sure any sales person who can pay for their cruise is allowed to go.  They are probably getting the smallest cabins and having to share. But getting a great deal on the price.  The more people in your group the less it cost.

[ginger90]

Someone mentioned Meri’s necklace being a pyramid. Ironic, yes. Just saw where it is actually given by LuLaNo, and is a cruise qualifying gift.

They'd be better off paying full price for the cruise as opposed to qualifying. But yes you do need to sell a certain dollar amount - I think it's $15k a month over 6 consecutive months - to qualify. 

Oh and the "winner" is on the hook for airfare, hotel stays, and incidentals.

I remember the character Maude in the 70's wearing the dusters.  Ew.

LOL, sense of vision?  They didn't have it to begin with...

[Galloway Cave]

Holy mother of god. Those jeans. If they are giving the model that kind of wedgie and tight wrap of the upper thigh in the back, just imagine the camel toe in the front (or don't, you know). Unfortunately, we will be subjected to dozens of selfies from Meri and Mariah in those things for the next year, so prepare adequate quantities of eye bleach. I find it interesting that they spend so much of the text describing how everything lays flat on this jean. I have never really given any thought to how flat my belt loops lay; I just want my jeans to fit nicely and not show any muffin top. 

[ginger90]

I can’t see LuLaNo doing jeans. The returns are sure to be many.

So I googled images of these "jeans" and, despite THIS claim--"The LuLaRoe jeans are flattering"--they are actually unflattering on nearly every single person shown wearing them. I swear this designer hates women.

Geez, makes me ashamed to know how stupid women look when they go for this scam.

Wacky things are happening with pictures on here. So, no clue if that showed up. I don’t want anyone to miss out on this one!

That dress Audrey's wearing is especially hideous.  And hat head with her shit-eating grin.

Between that awful dress )with the horizontal stripes making her look huge) and the knot on top of her head she looks like somebody's Yiddish Bubbe.

[xwordfanatik]

Nice picture, and we can't see anyone's toesie posies, or any ugly shoes, which is a huge plus.

Brown tooth is what my eye always gravitates to.  I didn't snark on Meri's varicosities, because I have those, too.

Meri, your hashtags are very overdone and self-aggrandizing.  Please.  Stop.

[xwordfanatik]

It's all coming back to me now.  Audrey, with that hairdo and dress that undoubtedly makes her look shorter and dumpier, reminds me of Zelda Rubenstein, the little old lady in Poltergeist.  I'd link a picture if I wasn't technologically impaired.

As opposed to, what, amputees?  She is so totally clueless.  With ugly feet probably because of those dreadful shoes she always wears.

[LilWharveyGal]

Pffft. Doesn't Meri know that all the cool tall girls do their shopping at Victoria's Secret? 

[TurtlePower]

Meri "struggles" finding jeans long enough for her? Oh come on! She's not unusually tall and doesn't appear to have unusually long legs. Clearly she's never tried Miss Me, Grace in LA or many other mid-range brands--these jeans sell by waist and inseam--logically, like men's trousers. 

 

I can't fault her for her feet. I have ugly, mangled feet from decades of running. I do typically hide them, however.

I think her nail tech cut them down too much. That's asking for an ingrown. 

[Libby]

Poor Meri. She has behaved so badly with Kody, the other wives, and their kids, that she has absolutely nobody left but Mariah. Most parents don't have to kiss their kid's butts to be loved. Meri has treated everyone so badly through the years, that she has to be subservient to Meriah so that she doesn't lose the last person that she has. It's very sad, but Meri did it to herself. She's just lucky that blood is thicker than water and Mariah is willing to hang in there with her. Meri doesn't get to act like a respected mom though. She gets to stay around as long as she kisses Mariah's butt.

I think so. Besides the ticket to get into there anything else, like food and drink, is mighty expensive. I don’t think that Meri pitches into the family fund anymore. She has a lot of extra spending money. There’s that B&B as well as all the Mickey Mouse adventures. (That last part was meant sarcastically to include things like her LulaNO). 

[MonicaM]

I'm guessing that she has some kind of deal with Disney.  She posts enough pictures and has enough followers that the Disney executives probably think it's worth the advertising to at least give her free annual passes and possibly discounts on food and merchandise.  Still wouldn't make the visits inexpensive, but everything helps.

Too easy.  Meri wants all her sycophants to feel sorry for her and buy her ugly clothes.  So sad that they will, and she'll make bank from fools that want to brush with "her greatness."  

Plus, what else does she have to do?  Doofus doesn't want her around, ditto for the other wives, and she's "not going to go to her sister wive's homes and take care of their kids.  I'm (she's) just not!"

Snotty bitch.

[DakotaJustice]

Well, she was there because of the LLR convention.  I'm guessing with as frequently as she goes Meri probably has a season pass.

ETA - I believe the times she's been at a Disney property (she was at WDW earlier this year prior to the LLR Cruise) there's been a LLR tie in of some sort.

I've seen photos of every wives toes/feet.  Christine's look a lot like Meris, short and stubby.  Robyn's are long and skinny but she has bunion's and hammer toes.  Janelle's are the only ones that are what I would consider normal looking.  Then again I have no room to talk, I have a bunion on one foot

[neh]

I was just in Nevada. Went to a couple of cities with casinos.  The shops in the casinos sell the very footwear that Meri wears and it ain't cheap.

I'm going to assume she has just dis-embarked from the cruise and spent some time shopping in LA before the 5 hour trip home to LV.  My question would be, why is she alone?  I could see why Janelle, Maddie and Axel would make the trip on their own, but why aren't the lovebirds, Mariah and Audrey with her?  Is this #LifeFulfilled better alone?

[Kohola3]

For the love of God, she's wearing about 8 lb of eye makeup. Does she really think we don't notice?

No way. There’s a whole world of Disney instagrammers out there that do it way better and don’t get paid. Most of her shots, you can’t even tell she’s at the park.
