Where do you click on 'my bio' to watch this video? I don't know what that is. Can someone post the video here? I'd like to bite the bullet and watch it. Thanks.

The most recent “link in bio”, is what I circled. Click on it from her Instagram, and there you go.

I just don’t understand how she came up with “Lolli”. It’s odd. 

I'd imagine that, because they sometimes call JB "Pops," they think pairing that with "Lolli" is just hilariously sophisticated and clever. 

Seriously. 

I expect that's another build-our-social-media-rep ploy. As aspiring influencers, they're probably pretty fixated these days on showing people how clever and amusing they are. Seems to me I see signs of that urge in Jessa's postings, Jer's postings, etc. (even though people certainly don't follow Duggarlings online because they're craving cleverness and wit.) 

Anyway, my guess is it's not really a nickname anybody actually came up with naturally for Meechelle. It's an attempt by Duggarling Digital Content Agency to create something that'll have the effect of the Geico gecko or the like.

I don’t think Ben’s haircut suits him. His face is narrow at the top and wider at the bottom, he needs some volume at the sides to balance it out. Plus I hate that haircut.

Just me.

But for sure, if (which would NEVER happen, but IF) I ever did a video about anything at all, I sure as shit would at the very least fold the blanket and remove the one slipper from the camera view.

A teeeeeeeeeny, tiny bit of effort in straightening your home would make a visual difference to this awful presentation.

And Ben, go to Hair Cuttery or someplace, PLEASE !!!

[libgirl2]

I like his haircut.

I think Jesse has gorgeous hair, and I’m envious that her hair dries into nice waves rather than a total frizz ball like mine does if I let it air dry. I don’t see a foot of split ends either. I suspect she trims off the bottom inch or so every three months, so the rest of it is perfectly healthy. Plus, she doesn’t regularly straighten it or color it like Jinger does, so it’s not nearly as heat damaged. 

Yeah, I hate the look of super long hair because there's no style to it, but despite that, the Duggar girls minus Jinger have exceptionally full, healthy hair.

One last comment about "Lolli": Mackenzyie (or however they spell it) is 10.  Pretty sure she had another name for Michelle when she was younger.  How odd that suddenly she has to call her grandmother by another name.

Jessa taking the spotligh from Jessica Seewald while she tries on dresses on SYTTD Atlanta. Doubt she approved of that cleavage baring dress.

[Future Cat Lady]

Do they do home haircuts because they're cheap or because they don't want another woman touching their husbands?

[SMama]

Both, but the latter is the most important reason to them. Less smoked paprika, Starbucks, Irish butter, and they’ll have enough money for a real haircut.

Grandma Duggar is dead, and part of brand, so that's out. I can't see Michelle being ok with being called grandma, anyway. She interacts with her grandkids like she's just wandering through a random daycare. Which she is.

[floridamom]

Thank you for posting the haircut video. I liked Ben's hair before this hairdo. He looks scalped and yes, I agree that his face isn't suited to this style.

[Totally]

That is a bad haircut

I thought I was bad at haircuts 

Now I realise I’m an expert

That there was one uneven mess

No denying that Ivy is one cute little girl! I love her smile.

Because I hate the Vuolos so much, I am going to add that I enjoy a pic of a cute baby who is not made to pose, posture, smile, act, engage, frolic, or become an integral part of a stupid directed picture.

Go, Ivy, GO!

[Tasya]

Ivy is no less "posed" than Felicity. 

[yogi2014L]

I feel like Ben and Jessas posts are way more down to earth and less try hard than the Vuolos. Their posts come off as authentic and almost likeable. They also appeal to their own fan base. Conservative christians with families in the south 

Vuolos are keeping up with the Jones's on IG instead of trying to be authentic to themselves. Their fans definitely can't relate to the IG influencer CA lifestyle they are trying really hard to emulate.They are Failing miserably. Every post is obnoxious and I do think Felicity is way more 'posed' on instagram, and I wonder if that kid has ever eaten a meal at home. 

I feel like Jessa takes picture of Ivy, and if it's cute she throws it on instragram if she needs something to post or wants to share.

I feel like jinger decides she needs to post for instagram and then spends the afternoon trying to create an instagram post whether Felicity wants to or not. That's why it all looks so staged.

Jessa is better at instagram than Jinger. She has found her niche as a Christian mommy influencer and youtuber.   I just looked at Jessa's instagram page and the majority of the photos of the kids seemed staged.  Jessa recently promoted the Bates Sisters Boutique when she posted the photos of her and Ivy wearing matching dresses.  Everything looks curated and posed to make the Seewald family's lifestyle appealing.    

The Vuolos and Seewalds have the same motives when they post pictures of their kids. It's all for likes and to grow an audience.  The way she uses Spurgeon in her videos reminds me of how Jim Bob and Michelle used Jackson and Johannah. They're cute kids who seem engaged.  I feel bad for Spurgeon because he has to perform on Counting On and Jessa's videos.

[SMama]

Jessa is all about the brand, just more adept at smoke and mirrors. Those verse memorizing videos tell us all we need to know.

Edited February 28, 2020 by SMama

[Tasya]

Exactly my point. She doesn't post a thing that isn't carefully curated. We've seen Felicity look disheveled and uninterested in multiple pictures. There's no question that Jinger and Jeremy include her to make their pictures more interesting, but I don't think they actually "pose" her or are overly concerned with how she comes across. On the other hand, Jessa is marketing herself as the super fundie mom. I feel like she makes sure that her kids look and come across as perfect before sharing a single thing. Other than the infamous "diaper mountain" picture, Jessa's never put up a picture of her kids looking unhappy or shown any unpleasant interactions.

She has shown Spurg and Henry conflicting a couple of times, over toys IIRC. Pretty minor though and I think she immediately admonished them. I think Jessa has done more videos, where we can see her kids move and talk, and Jingjer do more photos that capture the best moment.

Spurge was Prop Child #1. He even appeared in the TLC promos.

He's probably in the credits under Best Boy Grip #1. 😉

I think they might have gotten the idea here. Back when Jessa and Jill were pregnant or shortly after Spurgie and Izzy were born we had a conversation about different names for grandparents. We were all posting traditional names, names from various cultures as well as creative nicknames and names made-up by grandchildren. I mentioned Lolli and Pop. 

It could be a coincidence or they read the name here. I'm leaning toward them getting the name here because Anna's kids did not use Lolli prior to Spurge and Iz being born and prior to our conversation here.

Is that why some people use that term for their grandmothers? Lol I had never heard of it before, until hearing that my ex's mom was called that by her grandkids. I just thought it was something younger grandmothers might like since she became one at 34.  

[Spencer Hastings]

Felicity: “Are they always this embarrassing?”

Ivy:  “You’re lucky the one they call Pops isn’t here. Just get on the plane and don’t look back.”

[crazy8s]

Felicity: "found the app. making flight reservations now, want to come with?"

Yet there are breastfeeding women all over the world who are separated from their children for hours at a time (an entire day!) and the kids are still able to be fed. 

[GeeGolly]

They went to Target? I hope they all made it out safe if they used the restroom.

Neanderthals couldn’t pump breast milk, but Jessa can. I think they took their children because because their lives revolve around them.
