The Other Duggars: The Lost Girls and Amy

[BradandJanet]

That's a really nice cake for a party of just 14, with 2 of the attendees Dillard's employees and probably aren't allowed to eat the cake.

 

Wait, wait. I thought we were all invited to meet and greet the bride-to-be and get cake and food. KDP said so! Maybe the masses are in roped off in the small kitchen electrics department. 

 

Sales on the registry aren't exactly zipping along. Can someone please buy this poor woman a pizza pan?

[CofCinci]

The cake is probably cardboard underneath.

"Duggar Studios" was there filming, but fanned out to different dept's. Some were found in women's lingerie, while one was found humping a male mannequin from behind.

A younger boy was directed to the shoe dept. after shouting NIKE NIKE ! over and over again, then passing out by the nine inch heels.

So much sin in a single outing.

Poor (F)Amy. She went from a TLC-sponsored wedding extravaganza to coverage provided by Duggar Studios (which still needs our support, barf).

I'm thinking that it's a dummy cake and the cake that was served was a simple sheet cake since a real wedding cake is expensive.

[Barb23]

On Amy's instagram, she showed a stack of letters she's received and said she can't wait to start writing back - I commented what is she waiting for?

[latetotheparty]

In her case, "bubble" may just be another word for "airhead."

 

I'm sorry, but Amy's phony-baloney ain't-I-the-adorablest smile in that photo makes me want to kick her teeth in. ..... And actually, I'm not sorry. : )

 

Do they not have enough bathrooms at Dillard's? Shoulda waited to take the photo until the ladies room line cleared.

 

You owe me a keyboard, Churchhoney.  I scared the dog, too.

[BitterApple]

It was probably one of those deals like they do at book signings where you don't get to meet the author unless you buy the book. You don't buy something off the registry then no cake for you!

Judging by the picture the shower was lame. Two or three of those people are likely Dillards employees, Michelle, Deanna and Grandma are relatives, so that leaves what, five or six people?

She is a little busy getting ready for Michael Bates' wedding on the 15th.

Most likely. But KDP posted that everyone who comes gets cake or food regardless [of whether or not they bring a gift]. I'm not sure that post is still there, however. Plans may have changed or maybe King Dill Pickle had to be silenced (put back in the jar) for his own good. 

[sometimesy]

It seems a little odd to me that the younger girls aren't attending the shower. Do you suppose they are ALL busy with the Bates wedding or something?

Amy must be screaming inside. She's an f-list celebrity. She came very, very close to hitting the d-list with her reality show. It's GOT to hurt. I hope she sings Josh songs of lamentation, every day, for the rest of his life. That's punishment enough.

 

Also, the decor and food:

I'm confused by the low attendance generally. Makes me think this has to be just one among multiple showers. But if that's the case, who was this shower supposed to include? Didn't seem to be a family-run shower or a church-run shower or a we're-friends-of-Amy-from-school-and-jobs shower. It kind of seemed to be an Amy-run shower. What did I miss? Who announces their own shower? Or was someone else actually in the forefront? Was this actually intended to be a leghumper-heavy event that fizzled? Or what? ...And were there any chairs at this shower or were you just supposed to stand up next to the bathmat display during the festivities?

 

ETA: And what the heck are all those hanging rags? It looks like somebody started to make those little floaty ghosts for an outdoor Halloween tree but stopped when they realized that pink, green and gold are not Halloween colors. ... And I guess we now know what A's wedding colors will be?

Naw it's because Famy has learned the art of grifting and Boob doesn't like it since it takes away from him and his grifting.

 

IF the Duggar Studios did indeed film the whole mess errr I mean the precious, sweet, amazing, purposed event, will they be having a pay-per-view on it?

[BitterApple]

Wow that set-up is embarrassing, even for a low-rent Duggar affair. Between the cheesy backdrop, hanging kleenex, kool-aid punch, illegible A&D floral display, and the sign that looks like it was handwritten by a 5 year-old, I don't know which is worse. Scratch that, Jessa's scraggly too-long hair floating over the punch bowl is the worst.

These people aren't even on the air anymore and we STILL don't have enough hours in the day to cover all the snark!

So I'm guessing Dillards wants to offer this to customers as a side service but not to groups of 20 (including Howlers with video equipment) so they asked Amy to give the stupid magazine the low-end number for how many people she had imagined would attend?

 

Or else she just counted everybody in the mall that day as having attended.

Famy probably thought it was extra fancy since they had glass bowls! Maybe Dillard's went with a cheap Boob approved Fundie set up?

Well, that could be her version of the typical Duggar wedding menu ....

[kokapetl]

300 people in the department store at the time maybe.

“When I first met him, he insulted me. It was when ruffles were really in style and he’s like, ‘What the heck are you wearing?’ So we just started laughing that night and hanging out. I was like, ‘Well, if he’s going to be that honest I might as well keep him around,’” she told Us. “I had no intention of ever dating him. I never thought he was attractive. Never flirted with him. Never kissed him. Nothing! Until one night all of our friends went camping and I kind of looked at him different.”

Those are all really good indications about the relationship I'm sure.

Dillon's design work suggests Amy will learn to love Zubaz.

Amy is looking forward to walking down the aisle, and has even Facetimed cousin Jill Duggar for advice.

More like Facetimed Jill to point her towards the Dillard's registry website. Edited August 9, 2015 by Kokapetl

[NewDigs]

I was going to take a quote from the article but as I read on....practically every thing in it is cringe-worthy.

So what I'm kind of left with is, Dillard's reached out to them!!! Really!

I used to like Dillard's.

Oh, and Dillon's opening line to get her interested in him? "What the heck are you wearing?" Nothing like a good insult to start a couple on the road to bliss.

This is the "first of three(!)" bridal showers. A department store seems like a bad location for a bridal shower, people will attend, maybe buy the cheapest thing, and quickly drift off and look at shit they wanna buy for themselves.

I think the hanging rags are supposed to be pompoms or something. I like the elegance of the black vinyl exhibition banners too.

You gotta include wherever it is they buy their pregnancy tests. Walmart, Sam's Club, CVS, Tarzhay ....

[toodles]

A COUSIN of the disgraced and cancelled Duggars still getting press?  For someone who's whining that she didn't get the TLC gravy train, she seems to be doing OK.  I know US magazine is not exactly the top of the line rag mag, the fact that she even got a story is pretty impressive.  It must have been a really slow news week.  Are Ben and Jennifer on vacation?

What is Dillards market position? In Australia we have two department store chains, total. David Jones is the 'upscale' one , and Myer is the 'middle of the market' one. Re: Dillards, Wikipedia says "Its main competitors are JCPenney, Macy's, Sears, and Bon-Ton, regional nameplate stores such as Belk, Younkers, and Von Maur, while its rivals in the upscale market include Bloomingdale's, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue."

Well, in my perception the middle market is sort of bifurcated, and Dillards is sort of the high end of the middle market, along with Macy's and Belk (don't know about the other regional ones). Dillards and those are definitely pricier and more designer-oriented than places like Sears and Penneys.

 

And, yeah. The idea that that's a double-bylined "article." Amazing.

That is keeping in line with what the Duggar's have served guests at the last 2 weddings.    Well, I might be over doing it, half a mint.

[Sew Sumi]

And no Duggar sisters, just Michelle and Grandma?

Sorry, having trouble quoting from my phone, but I think the Duggar girls were there as actual guests. Note that in Amy's team pic that there's a Dillard's employee on the far left. But she really needs to get over the premise that MEchelle did actual work. Not buying that for a nanosecond.

I don't know and if she was the news would have been broken already. Leaves me wondering if she visits Uncle Boob so she can steal pregnancy tests from Aunt MEchelle.

[Sew Sumi]

No, she's not pregnant. She claims that she and Dillon are waiting to consummate their relationship, although I'm pretty sure they did that before the engagement. I think they are tying to put that genie back in the bottle. She went on to say that she'd made "mistakes" in the past, but wanted to get this right. LMAO! Way to Duggar Brand your lurid past! She was just missing the part about giving away pieces of her heart. 

 

I wish I could remember where I saw this, but it was right after the engagement was announced. Hilarious stuff. The one good thing that came out of the piece was that she said that she wants to hold off having kids. HA!

I noticed that the dress Amy is wearing in the photo with the ladies at the shower is different from what she's wearing in the US magazine article in the photo with KDP (so not actually taken at the shower?) and neither are the white Bababooie pantsuit that was referenced.
