I would not normally be this hard on anyone, I promise. Beauty is totally subjective. I get it. But this pic is just awful to me. Eyes are wonky, boobs disappeared, looking masculine, so obviously filtered. If she and her daughter (and the rest of ‘em) didn’t go around acting like they are so damn special and so damn brave, I’d cut them some slack. Same. Her selfishness and narcissism cancel out any empathy I would normally have for a person in her situation. And now with the filters—Meri if you hate your chin so much, go to a surgeon. Get the things you hate fixed so that when someone sees you in real life after seeing filtered photos, they’ll be able to recognize you. So. Stupid. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3427-meri-brown-and-her-wet-bar-of-tears/page/182/#findComment-5832743

Fig Newton January 2, 2020 Share January 2, 2020 Wow. That is one very pitiful breakfast and a more pitiful picture of the horrible spread. Would she consider (since she insists on posting shit)........... Using a pretty tablecloth to add to the vignette. Perhaps, a cup of fresh juice, a steaming cup of coffee☕ (which she could just cut and paste from the plethora of Mariah coffee posts). Perhaps a bud vase (so she wouldn't have to put herself out there too much) with ONE single flower to add color, life, beauty? Dare I say, use some garnish? Post what you want, people.
