Joe & Kendra: Looking Forward To Side Hugs

Kendra looks to have added blonder highlights, but what an ugly oufit!  Why would anyone want to pose for professional pictures wearing an ill-fitting mud brown shirt with a shiny pseudo-denim skirt?  There are plenty of cute tops and skirts or dresses out there in flattering, pretty colors that she could've worn, why would she go out of her way to look so awful?

It actually looks like a layer of the lining is poking out past the skirt.

Just like jinger's engagement outfit! So nonsensically drab and shapeless, at a time when you want to look and feel vibrant!

I think the right shoe is the victim of a shadow. If she was selling shoes, Tyra would lambaste her. 

The photog should have noticed this and edited. She didn't even get the tan/pale rings in Kendra's neck in the close-ups. Even I could do better. 

eta: She has leggings or a blue slip under her skirt. FFS!

In Jinger's defense, she was pretty unaware Jeremy was going to propose on that trip.  If I recall he sprung the picture plan on her day of so she probably had packed stuff semi-reasonable to travel with.  Judging her outfits lately, she would redo it if she could.

Kendra knew she was taking engagement photos.  She couldn't go out and buy a cute sundress?  This look might have been cute if she ditched the white undershirt, didn't have linens showing, and worn better shoes.

OMG, she's going to fit right in! These are her engagement photos and she wears layers of ill-fitting sloppy t-shirts with a jean skirt (with what, a modesty panel? shorts? underneath), and a pair of cheap, hideous wedge sandals!

I also still don't understand how Joe can look 13 and 45 at the same time.

All the brothers look like that but I don't know where they get it from. Boob is no George Clooney, but he certainly doesn't look awful for a guy in his early 50s. Michelle's an attractive woman and even though the Josh scandal aged her she's not 50-but-looks-70. There must be some weird genes in play that skipped a generation and settled on the Duggar boys.

Kendra's the oldest of a passel of kids in a family living in Bumfeck, Arkansas. Her dad is a fundie preacher, and her mom AFAIK doesn't pull a paycheck. If Kendra got a check from TLC as an appearance fee for her Counting On appearance(s), she probably signed it over to her Headship - assuming he's a follower of Gothard and a pal of good ol' herpderp JimBob. I doubt that Kendra's ever had money to just go out and buy a new dress because she's having a photo taken.

I'm not snarking, just trying to be real. The Quiverfull/Gothard families who don't have their own TV shows, often struggle financially unless the Headship is a really heavy-duty breadwinner. (Having lots of kids and strict gender roles that forbid wives/daughters from holding jobs and require the males to earn the family money.) Maybe the Caldwells have some family money behind them, so that they don't have to live on what I bet are the pretty slim pickings that Pastor Caldwell brings in from his service as a minister. But if they don't, then I don't expect Kendra to run out and buy a dress for a photo shoot.

Yeah, that. It's not unlike how Ofsmuggar was when she married the perv. It was before the TLC money really started rolling in, and I doubt she wore her sister's wedding dress just because she liked it.

Is it a fundie requirement for all of their females to own and wear a pair of braided brown leather wedge sandals? Asking for a friend...

I think it's a fundie requirement (since they all have so many kids) to get the cheapest footwear possible. 

Joe's jeans have defrauding details like brown embroidery on the butt pockets and those faded streaks near the top. (Personally I'm none too picky about clothes, but I try to avoid faded streaks like Joe's pants.)

Considering her father is the pastor of their church, it's no surprise she's has a lot of the Duggar rules down.

I spelled embroidery wrong.

That white undershirt was completely unnecessary; the mud brown top was already high enough.  The peek a boo sagging hem is hideous.

Why do I always eyeroll whenever I see couples make that dorky ? with their hands?

The bible- just really? Always?

Pops says that Song of Solomon is off limits, so we'll do Proverb of the Day instead. Too mid-bible to be Ephesians and all the discrimination.

True, but as female members of the Caldwell family I would've pooled every piece of clothing I had at my disposal to come up with a better statement look than that.

Honestly, it probably would have helped a lot if Kendra had tucked her shirt into her skirt because it would have nicely defined her waist and helped give her a better silhouette in many of the pictures. That could be considered an eyetrap though. In addition, the couple should have coordinated the colors of their shirts! If Kendra knew Joe was wearing a light red, then she could have worn a nice turquoise to complement it. If Joe knew Kendra was wearing a mud brown color, then he could have worn deep/eggplant purple.

Churchoney's post was spot on. The kids look horrible because the crushing weight of the lifestyle is all on THEM to maintain. The watermelon heads, crap diets, and paleness that makes Dracula look tanned don't help. The parents are carefree teenagers with no responisilty or duties, with their butts always kissed. No wonder they escaped the aging curse. I think Michelle will massively age one the fame stops partly based on her sister's looks and partly based on her need for attention. The Josh scandal, and not having a tv show, added about 5-7 years to her looks instantly.

 

I think the entire family has average looks. Not ugly, but not people who'd get a second look in the street, either.

Forgive me for asking a dirty old lady question, but how does Joe (or any of the post-pubescent boys) avoid pitching a trouser tent when they've never had sex (or even jerked off) and getthisclose to a woman?

I know; hell awaits.

We can ride together. I was thinking the exact same thing.
