Anybody else think Jana has 'Man Hands'.  Maybe it's the clunky watch, but her hand hanging down on that dark skirt makes it look huge!

No I don't think so. I think she's a stupid bigoted fundy who belongs to a rich and famous family of hillbilly compulsive breeders, and she makes bad fashion, hairstyle, and makeup choices. But her hands look fine. Their size is nothing she has control over.

Thanks, Jeeves. Yeah, I'm not really in to making fun of body features that one cannot control. Believe me, if there were a way to shrink these hands of mine, which I inherited from my 6'3" father, I'd be a happy woman. But all I can do is keep a nice, feminine-looking manicure going . . . and, you know, try to love myself in spite of my less-than-perfect body and pop culture jokes about "man hands."

Is Citrus and Lemon monitoring their partners' social media posts at all? I cannot imagine they would be okay with Jana posting an image of their product after she's performed her own janky alteration on it.

They actually commented on her post.

There's some serious Photoshopping going on. For one, Ofsmuggar isn't that much taller than Jana. For two, the entire background looks warped. The Kartrashians taught me that's a sure sign of Photoshopping.

Anna said in the comments that she was wearing heels.

Bushy eyebrows are "in" now. I hate them.

They'll look back at pictures someday and cringe, as I do when I see pictures of me wearing the then fashionable "beehive" hair. 😂

Looks like they're in a revamped school bus of sorts. That might account for the curved background.

[Albanyguy]

She's definitely been making an effort to glamorize herself: the high heels, the make-up, the skirt that actually shows her knees (NIKE!!!). I wonder if she's trying to revamp her dowdy image because, like the other girls, she wants to make some money by launching a career as an internet pitchwoman/"influencer". Or possibly, she's trying to make herself more sexually attractive to Josh. Maybe he hasn't been stepping up to the plate lately and she's been gaslighted into thinking it's her fault for not being attractive enough. She's do whatever it takes to keep that baby train running full steam ahead.

There’s something marvelous about a beehive, though. Especially if you also had cat-eye glasses. 🙂

I am of the age that I had both back in the day. The first Mr lookeyloo loved the look. I also wore black eyeliner. Of course I was much younger and it was the style and I carried it off. 

[Jynnan tonnix]

I'm not quite old enough to have had the beehive hair and cat's eye glasses - I came of age in the 70's, and really didn't much get into fashion until the 80's. I'll admit that I do still kinda miss the big hair and the shoulder pads. Looking back at sitcoms of that era, like the Golden Girls and Designing Women, I still see that phase as one of the most flattering to a lot of women. It did suit me, at any rate, since my hair is naturally curly so did "big" with little coaxing and only a touch of product. My shoulders, on the other hand, are very narrow, so the pads really balanced me. I keep waiting for it to come back around again. 

I can't entirely blame Meechelle for being stuck in the 80's, though the fundie version of that fashion is so poorly done that it does pretty much negate anything positive about it, and updating it would definitely make her look better.

According to that first, long-ago special, she's 5'4". Jill was the tallest J'slave at 5'7", and why on earth do I remember this nonsense. Smuggar was 6'. 

[Sew Sumi]

In addition to the heels comment, Anna said that she's 5'4 1/2". I always thought she was taller than that.

Wow, that's it?! I remember her being taller than the J'Slaves, who all appear to average around 5'4". I always thought Anna looked to be 5'6" or 5'7". She must have on crazy high heels in that picture.

In that other photo from a different day, Anna looks more than 1/4 inch taller

Jessa's about 5'5", and Anna appears to to be about an inch taller in flats. Anna has no clue how tall she really is. 😂

She really doesn't. She's probably 5' 6". Look at her compared to Jill.

Her feet don't look level with those of others around here. And Jim Bob looks taller than Smuggar even though Smuggar was an inch taller at the time of the first special -- makes me think there is a step or riser in the back. 

[Sew Sumi]

Joy is also not taller than Jana. She's the shortest of the older girls.

Hard to find full-length pictures, but Jana & Joy are nearly the same height.

They all look so dowdy for their ages! Just wait til their 30’s and 40’s at this rate!

Someone needs to confiscate Laura DeMaisie's jeans, or at least teach her that they do not go under dresses.

I agree! I used to love 80's sitcoms when I was a teen (early 2000's). I wished I had been alive to wear that look! I always got excited when it was decade day at school so I could dress like it was the 80's.

Jana mentioned in the comments that she cut off the bottom of the dress to make it shorter.  And she didn't bother to hem it.  I thought Jana was a seamstress.  She should hem it.  Otherwise it'll just unravel on the first washing.

Also, the ugly dress is only handwashable!  How would you even begin to handwash a dress?

I know she didn't say she hemmed the dress but did she actually say she didn't hem the dress?

No.  But I could see that the dress was hacked shorter and left with raw edges. She did admit to cutting it shorter.

I have to say that I've hemmed only two dresses with chiffon-y overskirts in my life, and in both cases I thought I might just set the dresses on fire rather than finish the long and annoying job.

So I would sympathize with hacking those skirts short and then realizing what a long annoying job those hems would be -- especially the overskirt hem -- and just not doing it.

Naaa. Probably not. Probably just a matter of being too lazy to write a longer note.

Here's a what if: Say Jana bolts away from the family (of her own free will) what would Ma & Pa Duggar and the rest family react? 

[leighdear]

There's a Jason?

[3 is enough]

The "big 19'?  WTF is that?  Never heard that one before.

Now if they lived in Canada, I could see it being a milestone birthday.  19 is the legal drinking age (and now also pot consumption) in most provinces.  But that wouldn't register on the Duggar radar anyhow...

Don't want to jinx him, but his hairline looks better than Josiah's, Joseph's, or JD's.  Still nice and straight without the widow's peak from hell...

Anyhow, isn't he exiled to ALERT?

The "big 19" to the Duggars mean another child is on the marriage market aka sold off to the highest bidder.

It is true that all of the Duggars and their spouses of this generation were at least 19 (or older) when they got married. Same with the Bates of this generation.

 Honestly if one of their kids left I could see these people carrying on as normal,JB & Michelle would say they have 18 kids now (or 19 if they include Tyler) they seem that cold. They might become much more stricter with the kids left at home though, more of them might leave.

His parents have been uncannily successful at preventing this, haven't they? 

I'm betting a fair number of parents with similar personalities to theirs look at them enviously, unfortunately. 

If they'd never gotten TLC money and fame, I'll bet quite a few Duggarlings would have distanced themselves by now, though. The kids seem to have gotten just the right combination of carrots and sticks to keep them in the fold.

I doubt he has (much) money of his own, or personal possessions (in his name), or transferable education/job skills (ha!). It would be a true leaving with the clothes on your back kind of story. Though he could go on social media and fundraise a bit, just to get on his feet. And THEN what? It's such a hard road, but not impossible. I'm surprised all these 19 year olds don't have a trace of youthful adventure in them. Their horrible parents did their evil job quite well indeed.

Speaking of which, Duggar data has a great post on Instagram Tumblr that gives the exact of age of all the Duggars and Bates when they got married along with their spouses. Kendra Caldwell was techically the youngest of all and Jeremy Vuolo was the oldest including the Bates.  I posted the above before I saw her data.
