Interesting.  I guess it's a "shoes off" kind of house.  One woman barefoot, 2 in stockings and 2 in easy slip-off shoes...aaaand there's Meri, in logger boots.  

I have a shoes off kind of house, but we don't go outside in our socks and then track the dirt and mud back inside, we put our shoes/boots/gardenclogs on/off as we cross the threshold.

The thing is though, that Meri blithely went along with the story because that was the narrative she was trying to sell.  Not only did she not do any research, she didn't use common sense.  

The outside door story couldn't hold up unless the patriarch of the home remained stationary in the one room and the "wives" rotated to him via the outside door or the wives occupied that room on the nights it was their turn and he surreptitiously left the living quarters and sidled down the porch to the outside door.  She didn't bother to think it through before attempting to add to the aura of this magical heritage home.

Its not like the Mormon's do genealogy or anything!  She has been to Salt Lake a time or two.  She could have gone to the giant center they have there.  I went once.  My cousin had his rehearsal dinner there.

Did she cut the sleeves off because she couldn't get her arms through them any more?  The too small jacket doesn't work with or without sleeves though.

My guess was they ripped off because they are poorly made and don't really come in her size.  You can stretch the shirt/legging material but not denim.

And for fucks sake can she stop with the “FlagstaffFashion” bullshit? She’s trying to wear a “jacket” that looks like it belongs to a 4-year-old. And yeah, she probably cut out the sleeves because she can’t fit her beefy arms in them.  

Looks ridiculous and nothing like what the rest of the population is wearing.

The rooms look small because they're so busy. It's better than it was when she bought it but her old-timey vision of the place is awkward. She comes by it naturally because the LDS culture places a high value on ancestor worship, but she could minimalize and still create the period look she's after. The effect now is more like virtue signaling, if that makes sense. Enough with discussing the ancestors and displaying and gazing at the ancestors. After awhile it's relentless and creepy. The whole wide world is your customer base or realistically it should be. It's not like the inn is near Temple Square in Salt Lake, she's not drawing from that category of tourist. They spend their time and money in much nicer B&Bs 3.5 hours and 200+ miles north.

Ditch the eyeshadow in a single unflattering shade applied from lash line to eyebrows. Gah. It looks like two garage doors. 

That's a really nice photo. Even though it's a winter jacket, clothing that fits properly makes the most of what she's got. She already has jeggings, she should go with tunics and statement necklaces. And dump the old worn fuglies and get new boots and shoes. It's not like she can't afford them. 

(When I was a kid and we were playing board games my dad would blow on the dice and then say "Mama needs new shoes" while he threw them).

As much as I hate to say it she actually looks sort of demure and pretty in that pic.

She should try looking like this more often and quit sporting the teary eyed, bloated, orange, gopher face she normally presents to the world. 

Agreed. But she ought to try wearing a jacket that's warm enough to keep her from looking so cold--ya know, North Face, Patagonia, etc. Those are "FlagstaffFashion", not LuLaNo useless "military jacket" (probably made from polyester or rayon).

True, but the entire point of the picture is probably for her business, so she would want to be wearing stuff she sells.    I'm all about warmth!!  Does she EVER zip up/button ANY coat????

Yeah, and it look ridiculous. It's so not "FlagstaffFashion", especially in winter--those clothes are useless for a Flagstaff winter. Come to think of it, they're also useless for summer. Ugly, flimsy clothes that you either sweat and stink in or freeze in. And people buy that crap.

I wonder if Meri is ticked off that Christine, Maddie, Mariah, and Mykelti are all selling this junk? In my opinion the reason Meri makes a living at this is due to her fame from the tv show, and fans buying this. Now with other "celebs" from the same show selling the same stuff it could decrease her sales.

If they are all fishing in the same fandom pond, there is less for everyone.

If they are selling under Meri, this is good for her. She takes a cut.

I wonder if they are selling under her? After Maddie's tweets awhile back, I don't know if she would work for Meri again. I could see Mariah working under Meri, since Meri would give her beloved child all of the profits probably.

Do you guys think Christine is selling under Meri, or do you think she signed up under someone else, say like Maddie?

Still pulling for you, Meri! You’ve got happy drunk written all over you! 

I agree, and I agree that she looks pretty in the pictures above.  There is nothing more attractive than happiness and confidence, and it shows on her face.  Two things this life style have not afforded her in a long time.  The comments about peace, etc. are starting to make me think that one of two things have happened; Kootie has taken her back into the rotation and we are seeing the glow of someone who suddenly feels wanted again 🤢, OR we are seeing the happy glow of someone that has just decided that she has a lot going well for her (i.e., two businesses, gorgeous rental, nothing tying her down) and endless possibilities to find her own happiness.  For her sake, I hope it is the latter and I agree that she could probably be a happy drunk and a fun time if separated from the clowns.  

Hell, even knowing what I know about her passive aggressive tendencies and depressing situation, I’d still party with her and I bet she would be a blast.  I can’t help but think it would be a different Mary if she got out on her own.  I would even go so far as to say that I would watch a show of her doing just that, way before I would tune into another boring episode of Sister Wives.  I would pay half of my life savings to see the look on Kootie and Sobbin’s faces if the network said to them, you are done, but we’ve struck a great deal with Mary and she has a brand new series.  Can you see them all falling over themselves to get in her good graces?  Hilarious!  Not the boss anymore, huh Kootie?  Blessed cummupance!  Now, what do we call this show, so I can write the proposal to the network?

So do I, as much as I've disliked her all these seasons. I've been impressed with her ability to go out and get stuff done because for so many years, she'd say things and then never do them. You could see she was unhappy, but her shitty attitude made her very unlikeable. I still feel like she's been staying for the TLC money and has been forced to say she's staying with the family because it all seems so half-hearted when she says it. She sure seems happier doing her own stuff by herself. She doesn't need those assholes. 

Oh man, I would love to see that.

Lately she looks happy!  For the first time in YEARS!

I wonder whatever became of her former BFF that was her staunchest supporter through the catfish crisis.  I can't recall the woman's name, but she was a cabaret performer that did Celine Dion impersonations in LV and Hawaii.  There was hardly a day went by that they didn't maintain twitter communications, does anyone follow Meri's sm enough to know if she's still around?

Meri's friend has the Robyn chin.  Old brown tooth front and (almost) center.  Ugly LuLaNo.

I don't remember that BFF.  An impersonator?  Hmm.
