Meri Brown and her Wet Bar of Tears

Let's face it, the Browns are not the most sophisticated of characters. Although, Mariah might be able to fix that when she goes home on break.

She'll probably give each of her moms and siblings a French press so they can be as sophisticated as her.

I'm with you. That is deli cheese and meat (meant for sandwiches!) and Ritz crackers. Even Food Lion carries table water crackers and Dubliner cheese. No effort at all was put into this. I would be insulted to be served this.

The cheese looks like the pre-cut slices too. Nothing wrong going the easy route sometimes, but I admit, when I'm trying to impress I go with hand-cut cheese and fancier crackers.

Her hair does look better but I'm stuck trying to figure out how many layers of clothing she's wearing.

[Kohola3]

Is she wearing a yellow t-shirt under all of that mess? Although I do like the colors in the scarf.

[suomi]

IA re the scarf, muted colors. Elegant Sarah is one of those damn dusters so, yes, the yellow is a top or a dress. I saw lots of belted dusters. Belted dusters. Ow. My. Eyes. 

[xwordfanatik]

She must be post-menopausal, wearing all those layers.  I'm not prone to hot flashes anymore, but it makes me hot just looking at all that, and indoors, yet.

Hair looks better, less brassy and damaged.

[Gothish520]

Hair color is much improved! I'm still partial to the waves, but this style looks good too.

I wonder how many corn cans Meri painted for her thanksgiving table this year?

I wonder if Janelle was planning and thinking about how she could help and was shocked that Meri went ahead without her.

[neh]

I don't think of myself as a mean person. I work on my spirituality..hard. BUT, gosh, I just cannot l like Meri in any way, shape or form.

That's the kind of cheese tray that gets served at a company event when the company doesn't want to appear to have money for raises or bonuses or such.

THINKING about it.  But not, you know, actually DOING anything.

[ChristmasJones]

I can't fault Meri TOO much for her hair. To me it mostly appears as a texture problem, not damage. With hair like that, you either need to flat iron it, put in rollers, blow it out straight, or use a curling iron to get a smooth texture.  My hair is somewhat like that. It doesn't matter how healthy it is, it always has a slightly frizzy aspect to it due to the texture.

Its clear that in this most recent picture, its been totally flat ironed.

[xwordfanatik]

I have to agree that it's flat ironed.  I don't know which would be worse, ironing or bleaching/highlighting.  Just coloring my coarse-textured hair is drying enough.  So no flat-ironing here.  Curly is fine.

We are commanded to love one another, not like.  Big difference.  I have relatives that I love dearly, but don't like them and can't stand to be around them.

I have never heard of this "Tara at Home", but I thought the baker and platter looked nice, so I just did a Google search and turns out it's one of those LuLaNo-like "consultant" companies - oy.

I think that platter needs a companion platter of pigs in a blanket.

Maybe go completely 1950's Domestic Goddess and toss on some radish roses, carrot curls and Cheesewhiz stuffed celery sticks.

I've heard the term, of course, but didn't know what it was. So I looked it up, wowzer, and will be joining the brawl. Step off. (I get riled fairly easily during the holiday eating season). 

[ginger90]

An actual “wet” bar, perhaps?

Audrey is most definitely an attention whore. You know she's good because she out manuvered Aurora to be in the center of the photo. No Emotional Support Animal in sight though.

She looks like she stole Maddie's #camo... in Axel's size.

#LuLaRoForLifeOrUntilItGoesOutOfBusinessWhichSouldBeAnyDayTheWayTheLawsuitsAreBeingFiled

[Absolom]

Jacket is too small, I don't like burgundy and camo together at all, the shirt hits at her broadest part and makes her look "three feet wide" so other than that all is fine, Meri.  Her hair looked nice when it was freshly cut and professionally styled, but she didn't learn a thing and has ratted it up again.

[xwordfanatik]

Will Meri never get tired of jackets she can't even button or zip?  Way to look like she's packed on 40 pounds since she's had a wardrobe update.  Just.  No.  No to LuLaNo unflattering crap.

[suomi]

Oh my, not nearly enough colors in that ensemble. There's only navy, burgundy, 3 browns (boots), and 3 greens plus black and tan (jacket). It needs some yellow or orange, or maybe both. C'mon, Mer, loosen up! 

She should quit perming her hair. I was looking at some Season 1 and even earlier photos (when her spawn was a toddler) and her hair is fine, thin and straight. That hair is the most easily damaged and can be lightened or permed but not both. Pick one and then, if you absolutely must do it, go easy on heat styling (irons or hot rollers). Her hair is fried because she perms AND bleaches. Her "waves" that fade at the ends show that her hair is too weak from damage to form a complete curl, even using the largest rods (which ask less from the hair). i used to turn down clients like her who wanted another chemical service. I'd say "Sorry, but my reputation is walking around town on your head, no can do." (Ask the clown next to me, she'll do it. I've seen her do it. SMH). No frequency of or amount of conditioning can revive hair which is that badly fried. *Kody* Cut. It. Off. And. Sin. No. More. Meow, but it's the truth.

typo!

[Sasha888]

Where the hell does Meri keep finding these hideous shoes and boots? And OH MY GOD WOMAN, size up 2 or 3 sizes! That means ALL of your clothes, Meri, tops, jackets, jeans, all of it! She never tires of wearing clothes that are so tight they look painted on.

The scariest part of it all, to me, is that she isn't just posting pics of herself purely for fun, she thinks she is "modeling" clothing that she hopes to sell. She's making every ugly LaLaNo piece look even worse by lying to herself about what size she is.

Ok, I will try to say one nice thing...at least she chose a dark wash jean, instead of one of her crazy white-stitching bling bling jeans.

By choosing the right size and style of top, Meri could make herself look like she's dropped 20-30 lbs. Her fashion instincts are so bad.

Agree, the skinny jeans she's wearing look fine to me.

The white stitched bling ones might have looked better on her had she worn the proper fit for her shape. The thing with those jeans--and I don't know what brand she wore--is that those brands often come in many lengths/fits (very popular at Boot Barn). She always chose fits that were too tight for her and instead of a relaxed, polished look she had more of a sausage-stuffed-in-its-casing look. 

[ginger90]

LuLaNo has jeans now. I have no clue if she’s wearing them, though. No hashtag to state she is.

I totally agree...the dark wash is a bit more slimming, in my opinion, but the other blinged-out type of jeans would not be horrible, if she'd wear ones that actually fit. I do not understand people who try to squeeze into a certain size, no matter how bad it looks, so they can say "I'm a size x". Makes no sense to me. I'd rather go up a size and look better! Newsflash - everyone can see how you look, but NO ONE is going to come up to you and check the tag inside your clothes to see what size they are! (If someone accosts you on the street to check the size labels inside your clothes, you should probably call the police...)

But Meri's an "independent fashion consultant" and I'm not, so what do I know! For the extremely reasonable price of just 5 grand, you too can be a "fashion consultant"! :-)

Yep, and I doubt Meri would miss a chance to hashtag it. #BecauseSheCan #ShesLivingHerWhy

Not a single one of those leggings would look flattering on me. I’m skinny at 80 lbs and almost everything looks good on me. I’ll go sit at my table for one and say that I do like the ones with kitties. That a reflection on my feelings for cats not LuLaNo clothes.

I should have put on my old eclipse glasses before looking at that picture.

Ugh.  Didn't Meri send her imaginary lover Sam some foot fetishist pics, like this, pre-LuLaNo?

Jeez, who wears shit like this outside of the house?  Shame on all of them.  

#SocialRetailer?  Who says so?  What a fucking joke.  The joke's on her sycophantic buyers.

[MonicaM]

If they weren't so expensive, these hideous leggings would be the perfect gag gift for a fun exchange some friends and I do every year.  The person who comes up with the absolute worst, most hilarious item wins a prize, and I think with a pair of these, I'd be the leading contender.

Pair those with an ugly Christmas sweater and you'd be a shoo-in!

I was scrolling to find where I left off and I saw the photo but hadn't read the caption yet. Glanced at it and thought they were displaying some pot holders they crafted for Christmas gifts, for the kids' teachers maybe. And then I looked closer and saw the feet and a sickening realization came to me.

I thought it looked like she was surrounded by wrapping paper packets.

Those leggings look like Christmas pjs, not something you wear in public. I guess you could wear them to Wal-Mart though.  You would fit right in.

Kody and Janelle are the only ones with decent shaped feet.  Christine and Meri both have stubby toes  Robyn's wouldn't be bad except for the bunions.  I bet they really hurt.
