The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie

It’s weird how Jinger’s hair looks so blonde in some pics and a lot darker in others. But in this pic, her hair doesn’t look so thin/missing at her scalp. I suppose she may have been to the salon once or twice since the original dye job.

LOL that's never been my experience! If I straighten my hair and something causes it to frizz, it's either all one giant frizz ball or the ends go first. The only times my roots would go first was when I'd chemically straightened it. 

Very interesting! Back when I straightened my hair with heat (haven’t in years), after a workout the roots would revert and the rest would be straight. 

Humans have a variety of hair textures and ways of styling- Jinger has naturally curly hair, and she’s chemically altered it with bleach and dye. And maybe a chemical straightener too (who knows). We could both most certainly be right with our theories😁.

I suppose I'm the outlier here. But I can't get my knickers in a twist about Jinger's making money with that Cameo thing or having Felicity on camera with her. It's better, and with a more direct payday, than shilling cheap clothing at inflated prices. 

The kid isn't old enough to have a clue about this, except Mommy's holding her and they are talking to the camera. 

That’s how I feel, too - it’s like the next iteration of signed autographs/photo ops, which don’t require either celeb or fan to travel and wait in/for lines and often cost the same amount. And given her baby is already on TV and social media, I’m not any *more* concerned about Felicity being in cameos - sometime between toddlers and kindergarten, a lot of (wise, I think) people and bloggers get a lot more sparing and stingy in terms of what they’ll say or show re their kids, but Felicity isn’t there yet.

Well, in my opinion it shows the sick "relationship" way too many people are getting with "celebrities" online and with the online world in general.

In many cases, they may idiotically idolize people they don't know from a hole in the ground and who quite often are simply famous for being famous and not worth idolizing in the least.

The depressing thing about that, to me, is that people must be paying for some kind of real emotional thrill (because, otherwise, WHY would you pay?). But what they're getting is clearly just pro forma crap from somebody who couldn't pick you out of a lineup and is doing it for money. 

I’m just not seeing it/this as any fundamentally different than a celeb (actor, singer, broadway, whatever) signing autographs and addressing it to the fan by name. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Same cost as autographs and/or photo ops often have at conventions, without the travel/time/line commitment of waiting outside the theater for the actors after the show, etc.

So, we still have a month of posts showing them rolling through Jinger's money. Nice.

Though Jing probably only has access to her money, and it being in their name at all, because of Jeremy. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😡

[GeeGolly]

I think Jinger has a weird hair combo. It's somewhat thin but has the coarseness of hair that's typically thicker. Even when she was younger, after they stopped with the curly perms, her hair often misbehaved.

Ginger's hair looks like crap probably because she is not doing the necessary deep conditioning and protein treatments.  Some of them are expensive, but if you are paying to double process your hair, you should be able to afford $28 on Olaplex #3 (the current gold standard in at home hair treatments).  She also needs to embrace her hair's natural texture and cut out all the damaging heat styling.  At the rate she is going, she is going to need to do a big chop and start over.

I wouldn't have recognized Jinge with the different hair, sunglasses & casual look  if I was standing next to her in line.  I probably would have recognized  Felicity by her bow.  

I'm glad she blends in &  looks like just another mom out shopping with her baby. She could be wearing a floor sweeping denim skirt, a shirt with three modesty layers & clodhopper athletic shoes. And have five kids in the cart.

I presume the Vuolo's or their PR people are giving the paps a heads up as to where to find them to catch a photo.  The Kardashians and other 'celebs' do it all the time.

Or another celebrity was also shopping at Trader Joes that day and the pap took extra photos of Jinger.  It is LA and that is not out of the realm of possibility, and any freelance photographer will take extra pictures they can also sell. 

I do get the sense though that TLC is playing up the Vuolo's move to LA.  While I don't see them getting their own show, I can see them monopolizing the time on Counting On in the future.  The Duggars in Arkansas are all doing the same stuff in 2019 that they were doing in 2015-2018.  How many more episodes can they produce with this stagnant material.  The only thing we haven't seen is Jana courting and getting married, everything else SSDD.

[GeeGolly]

I'm thinking you're right@Ohiopirate02, probably a photographer was already there. I wouldn't think there's a lot of demand for Vuolo photos, nor a hefty pay out.

That look on her face is a little hard to read in the second picture, but she looks a bit irked to me. Jinger always struck me as a bit of an introvert. Wonder at what point the paparazzi popping up while you're trying to shop at Trader Joe's with your small child is going to start to get annoying or even scary. I would never like it, but I can see how the first time or two it would be flattering. An "I'm a real celebrity moment!" I don't think Jeremy will ever tire of it--he really is an attention whore--but I could see Jinger tiring of it soon, especially if they keep snapping pics of her dressed down because she's running errands.

I agree her hair looks fried.  Like @Absolom said she needs better products.  If you color your hair like that you need a more gentle shampoo and you must have a good conditioner.  Once she uses good stuff her hair will look better.  In my opinion, only virgin hair can use cheap hair products (shampoo and conditioner, styling products can be cheap).  I say this as an ex hairdresser and as someone who has colored their hair since age 12.

All those photos are taken with their own cell phone by innocent victims who happen to be within a few feet of them.

Well, as everybody knows by now, I'm the Internet-privacy nut around here. So I expect I'm more of the outlier, in fact! 

I'm also a nut when it comes to this thing I feel I've learned (again and again) both from my family life and my professional life:      Kids from birth through young-adulthood sometimes take huge lessons and arrive at huge conclusions from tiny things their parents (and even their teachers and other adult caregivers like grandparents and coaches) do and say. Things that you, as the adult, didn't even notice you said or did, didn't give a second thought to if you did register it, and never in a million years thought the kid would notice, remember or -- least of all -- conclude anything from or act upon.

So obviously this incident, like some others, hits a couple of my very big buttons.

As is often true, it'll be nice if I'm wrong! 

I'm with you on this effect on all the Duggar children growing up. There can be a butterfly effect. When my eldest daughter was three, I took a Stanford-Binet testing course. She was one of the children I practiced on. She loved it (most children do), but she loved it so much she never forgot. She became a school psychologist largely because of the one afternoon experience with her Momma. I believe the coupling of this happy testing experience combined with her three-year-old relationship with me had a real effect. Happily, it was totally good. Still I became sensitive to this likelihood with very young children.

Well, I expect that at least one of them will quietly conclude that they're important. (...not saying which one....)    I mean, it'd be hard not to, wouldn't it? Especially if you're a person who really craves being important? 

[Westiepeach]

I expect the paparazzi to be at my grocery store on Sunday. I am important enough that the store sends its employees to bring my cart with my groceries to my car and actually loads my bags into the back of my suv. Just for me. So there. 

[Minivanessa]

Well, they do have lots of SM followers. Jinger has 1.1m IG followers, and Jeremy has 603K.  Not bad for people who've done damn-all but be on a marginal cable TV show. 

I saw a funny story today about a social media "influencer," which I'll share over in the Small Talk area.

Hey!  I go to Heinen's too!

I would not be at all surprised if the PR folk at TLC knew likely locations for the paps to be lurking around LA and sent Jing and Jer out to find them.

Either that, or Jeremy frequently goes to outdoor shopping centers and poses with his kid just for kicks.  I do see that he managed to find some fairly casual loafers to wear sockless with his jeans.

I do believe that Jinger has damaged her hair. Time to cut your hair, Jinger, and start all over again with natural, healthy hair.

Jinger's complexion, eye color, etc are for bring brunette. Some can't even fake being blonde and look good, IMO. Jinger is one of those people.

So, when school starts, I wonder if Jeremy will be gone all day?  Will Jing bring him lunch?  Will she actually get out on her own and meet new people?  Will this be the first time they have been apart all day?  Will she go to campus with him?  We know there will be no Becky in the third row because NO GIRLS ALLOWED.

Jing can only bring lunch if she totes it in a wicker basket from Williams Sonoma, serves it on a gingham plaid tablecloth from Pottery Barn and the meal is catered by Spago.

This is an interesting thought. I wrote in Becky in the third row precisely because I found the idea of Derick cheating hilarious on its face. Nobody would want him, and he doesn’t seem like the type.  There are a lot of things I wouldn’t be surprised to learn about Derek, but I would be surprised to hear he was carrying on with another woman. Jeremy, on the other hand, very much seems like the type — shallow, easily flattered, image-obsessed. I would not be the least bit surprised to hear, down the road, that he was stepping out on Jinger or even that he had left her for someone else. I think he loves Jinger and Felicity, but I think he’s always going to have that streak that wants the shiniest, best, newest thing.

Do you think Jinger realizes this is part of the bargain she’s made? I wonder if that explains the changes we’ve seen in Jinger? She’s the only one of the girls who seems to be a good homemaker — their house is always picked up, there’s no clutter or chaos, the baby is always clean, happy and impeccably dressed.  She seems to have learned to cook relatively healthful meals, including fresh produce. She stays very thin, even right after giving birth, has learned to do her makeup so it actually looks attractive rather than the standard Duggar raccoon eyes and too much bronzer, and always dresses in a way that looks fashionable and polished, even just for a quick trip to the grocery store. Her recent hair adventures seem to have been a misstep, but she’s learned to go for updos and hats to cover the worst of the damage.  Maybe she just likes staying fit and looking good, because it such a change from how she was raised. I do wonder, though, whether part of it is her way of making sure Jeremy’s eye doesn’t wander.
