For a simple tshirt it has a really bad fit.  It is way too tight in the arms.  

[xwordfanatik]

Yes, I agree that tee is a LuLaNo, for the fit.

Now, to say something nice, which I hardly ever do on this thread:  Kody and Meri both look like they're at a healthy weight.

Snark alert:  both of their hair needs less bleaching and a ton more conditioning.

[LilWharveyGal]

So Meri and the wet bar parted ways last week?  I'm surprised the weeping and wailing didn't echo from coast to coast.  :)

[xwordfanatik]

No doubt she'll find a way to install one at her Flag house, once they buy homes there.  They are renting there now, until the LV houses sell, or?

What Meri wants, she finds a way to get.  Or so it seems.

[suomi]

That looks like some relaxed and happy body language, like it's genuine and not a fake out. She's leaning into him and he looks OK with it. But, gah, their  desert rat hair!

[ginger90]

Interesting wording:

Ah yes.  Reliving the "catfish situation" (how many times did Meri say that on the show?  Anyone?) is so terrific.

Get over that shit, and get over yourself, Meri.  Gawd.  It's a wonder ANYONE still wants to dill with you, in any way.

OMG she even tagged Lindsay!!  I'm starting to think she's even more desperate than Sam/Jackie/Lindsay.  Maybe that really was a match made in heaven (or hell)??

#LuLaRoeLindsay.  I'm sure she would say that there is a "style" with LuLaNo called Lindsay, but I've not seen her tag that item before, so doing it with the picture of the other woman involved in the catfish drama tells me that this was intentional.  It's her passive aggressive dig at the situation.  Of course if she were called out on it, she would act all innocent as if she didn't have a clue.  I believe differently.  In the words of Judge Judy, "Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining!"

There is a Lularoe Lindsay and she did tag it in a previous picture. 

[Celia Rubenstein]

Yeah, but I'm thinking it's not just a coincidence she chose the "Lindsay" cardigan to wear in the first place.   She planned the sweater And the #tag both ahead of time.

Meri has probably clamored for individual attention her whole life.  For some years she exulted in the role of HBIC in her marriage...and then along came Robyn.

She put on a brave face and seemed to embrace her arch rival, still lashing out at those she perceived as beneath her, but inwardly seething with resentment.

And then along came "Sam" and despite having to grovel for attention and affection from "him", she felt that she was the center of someone's universe.  Meri should thank her lucky stars that Sam/Lindsay came into her life, that was the catalyst that pushed her from the cocoon of despair she was living in and onward to great heights of achievement with LLR. :/

Love your hashtags, Sandy!  You too Celia.

Was it Sandy that suggested a while back, to have a snarky get-together at Meri's B & B, while wearing LLN?  I still love that idea.

I wonder if Meri's numerous siblings would agree that Meri's always been attention-starved?  I'd bet yes.  Unrelated thought:  one of Meri's sisters is a heavier Mariah.  Heredity is fascinating.

Exactly!  As I said in my previous post, I had not seen her post about the "Lindsay," however there is no way you can convince me that this was not planned.  She knew some people (like me) would know exactly who Lindsay was and make that connection.  If she wanted us to believe she truly developed a connection to the catfish friend, she should have chosen another "Carly" or whatever stupid, cheap rag LuLaNo has going right now and avoided anything with Lindsay/Sam/Jackie like the plague or if she had to wear that style, she could have refrained from tagging the name.  She is obviously using the "friend" and the situation for more attention.  

If there was a "catfish" blouse, I'm sure she would have conveniently worn it in the picture because she just loves the style and of course there is no connection to her situation.  She's just a hardworking business woman who happens to love styles named Jackie, Sam, Lindsay, and Catfish.  Poor innocent Meri, getting called out for being passive aggressive by mean people like me.  It's so unfair!!!

Meri got dressed in the dark again.

So she moves to Flag, then takes off again. Once the show ends, I have a feeling she's not going to be spending much time there with the rest of the family. And it's about time, she's miserable around them anyways. I have to say when it comes to her independence, I'll be rooting for her as long as she isn't crying, whining or conspiring.

[xwordfanatik]

Meri loves to play the victim card.  I remember when she told Robyn, "don't call me a victim."  Then, of course, she whines, blubbers, and generally complains about everyone ignoring her or being mean in some way.  "I'm always guarded, with ALL of you," she says to Christine.  Jeez Louise, she must be exhausting to be around.

Lol, I must be the only one who likes Meri's hair. Well, I don't like the color, but I love the style. It probably could use a good conditioning treatment, but it's a damn sight better than it was a season or two ago.

It is better, I think she's shooting for the sexy "just tumbled out of bed look", rather than the angry scarecrow look of past seasons.

She must be exhausted as well as being exhausting.  Building those walls she refers to must take a lot of effort.

Perhaps the pictures she posts of her posing in front of a wall actually mean something . Hmmmm.

Everything about that last photo sucks, from the Civil War cap to the shagnasty boots!

You do you, @Gothish520. :)  I can respect that.  To me, her hair seemed extra bad because it was atop what's actually a decent outfit by Meri standards.  (Did I just say that?!?)

And that "wounded Civil War soldier" hat (TM someone here, forget who) will always be hilariously awful.

Meri, give the jacket back to the 13-year-old you borrowed it from. All three of the outfits in the photos are awful. The outfit with the 1970's formica countertop print skirt could be OK if that blue shirt actually fit.

Just for shits and grins, I clicked on the #FlagstaffFashion hashtag. In no way, shape or form does Meri's pictures and fashion fit in with any of the pics already associated with that hashtag. They are all young, cute, sexy hipsters (of all sizes and both sexes), wearing clothes along the lines from provocative to shappy-chic to casual bar. None of it is ugly. None of it tortured. And Meri looks really out of place. She just needs to stop shoehorning her way into that hashtag.

Understatement. Meri, honey, that hashtag's just not into you. 

[Kohola3]

Long shiny hair with the exception of the shaggy dog look in the center.

[BradandJanet]

That LaLaRoeForLife hashtag in Meri's Instagram led me to some "fashion" that almost burned holes in my retinas. I'm afraid to click on any more.

Don't you know that Meri is wearing all the right fashions and the rest of us are totally wrong about fashion.

Seriously, they look way too amused with themselves and their "shenanigans" in that picture. It's not that outrageous, ladies.

And just FYI, Meri ... you were on an escalator, not in one. 

[BradandJanet]

It's pretty amazing that a company can build a business based on convincing women to buy and wear clothes that are overpriced, poorly made, ill-fitting, mismatched, and strikingly unflattering on all body types. #nomirrorsallowed

Apparently, there are ongoing legal problems in LuLaNo MLM land, but I bet the owners are laughing their way to their bank vault.  #takefloorlengthskirtandknotitatthebottom #hobbled

Sigh.

Check out the poor lady and guy at the back of this mess.  They look pissed off.  I wonder if they're thinking about giving a big push to that clump of idiots.  Don't give Meri any more zany ideas like going in the out door.  That could lead to other zany behaviors like running with scissors, although maybe we should encourage that one! ;)  As far as the escalator goes, I wish Meri was IN one --- and I know I'm not alone!!

Haha, true, but to be quite honest, the rest of those pictures are just as stupid in their own ways. I'm not seeing much fashion here, just some bad attempts at artsy-fartsy.
