Christina87 March 22, 2019 Share March 22, 2019 I was thinking Jill's shirt looks just like something my grandmother would have worn in the 90's. It is just not flattering! She would be better off modeling for 3130, because at least some of their clothes are cute. And I agree with the poster that said Derick looks like a serial killer. The pictures look way worse than her usual, which is not good if you're advertising something. 3 Link to comment

It also looks as though they live in Section 8 housing... I was thinking earlier today that Jill’s life has become sooooo drab. She lives in a small, dark and dingy apartment, cooks drab, bland, beige food and just looks basically like Hell most of the time. Her life needs COLOR in all aspects. Can they paint the walls in their dingy home? Can she incorporate color into her cream of puke meals? Can she look through some fashion magazines and see how clothes are supposed to fit? Guess not. I seriously think they do live in Section 8 housing. 11 Link to comment

Popular Post Oldernowiser March 22, 2019 Popular Post Share March 22, 2019 You are all such a precious blessing to me! Today for my birthday we dumped off our non-existent children at somebody’s house (not entirely sure whose) and we date-nighted by sitting on the same side of the table and simultaneously holding hands and eating a beige food-like substance. We then purposed to share a straw to consume 647 grams of sugar in a free brown semi-solid dessert beverage-like substance. Yay!!! #bestbirthdayevah #soblessed #randommeaninglesshashtag (In reality I turned down Mr. Wiser’s offer of a dinner out and instead we spent the day at a nursery loading up on new plants. And you all made me laugh and it was a lovely day. Thanks!) 24 40 Link to comment

Madtown March 22, 2019 Share March 22, 2019 (edited) Can I ask why the fuck I had a dream about Derick last night? I've never had a Duggar dream and the first time I do, it's with this asshole. He was a chef apparently and was cooking breakfast for a bunch of people at some big hall of sorts. If you didn't compliment on how good it was, he would choke you to near death. I actually had to pull his hands off someone as they were turning purple. Jilly just stood there and watched as if it were a normal thing and ok to do. So then I figured this was a something he did all the time at home. Also, Spurgeon was their kid. Edited March 22, 2019 by Madtown 16 Link to comment

Someone has to be unhappy when their views of relationships are that far apart. I agree. I was actually on Derick's side with his viewpoint that people have unrealistic expectations of relationships. I can see this being particularly true of the Fundie set where women literally wait for Prince Charming and expect their lives to look like a Disney Movie once he arrives. They tend to marry based on an idealized image they have in their heads, rather than the actual flesh-and-blood person, warts and all. 10 Link to comment

A bit of both, I think.

I've already commented on these terrible pictures, but I can't get over how they posted the most unflattering pictures imaginable. Squinting into the sun, displaying premature aging and wearing clothes that are also unflattering - do neither of them look at the pictures with horror? With no effort, just not facing the sun would have improved them. I'm going on and on, but I'm shocked that anyone can be so oblivious. 16 Link to comment
Ijustwantsomechips March 22, 2019 Share March 22, 2019 (edited) I guess I’m in the minority here, but the pic doesn’t bother me too much. All our pics growing up in the 80s looked like that, and I appreciate the simplicity. It looks like an actual candid photo of a mom playing outside with her children. What’s wrong with that? Maybe I wouldn’t post it, but it looks like someone (I assume Deertick) saw them and wanted to get a quick snap of the moment. I’ll take this over Jeremy and Jessa’a heavily staged photos anyday. There’s nothing natural or endearing about retaking the same photo five times to get the best shot. The mere fact that Spurge knows how to hold the pose lets you know he’s going to grow into a sickening kid if Jessa doesn’t watch out. ETA: Everyone’s hair is clean, their clothes fit and match, and the boys are getting fresh air and exercise. Kudos to Jill (can’t believe I just said that) for not sitting around the TTH all day.

I think there should be something of a happy medium when it comes to photos destined for blog posts and used with sales in mind. I do agree that Jessa's photos come off a bit staged, and definitely agree that she needs to watch out lest Spurgie becomes an entitled brat. He mostly comes off as pretty sweet, but, as you say, he has already learned to hold the poses which bring the most attention, and is probably already quite aware that his face is a commodity in their circles. But I'd still rather see Jessa's photos than Jill's simply because they are more pleasing to the eye. I don't think Jill necessarily needs to emulate Jessa's style - casual and bohemian seems more her vibe, and one which I honestly rather share with her. But even if her photos are going to be more candid, there's no reason that she can't review them before deciding what to post. At least she could maybe observe that the lighting situation is not doing anyone any favors and try another part of the yard, then take photos from a few angles and see what works best. With today's digital technology, there's nothing at all wrong in taking the same photo multiple times to get the best shot. Especially if it's bound for widespread consumption as a sales tool. 13 Link to comment
