Salads run right through me, too but I don’t claim to have IBS. My gut prefers meat to a lot of veg.
Salads used to do that to my grandma too. I can eat a bucketful of salad and nothing happens. My gut is like the DMV - it takes forever for anything to happen.
News is nothing but misery that will torpedo your mental health. A couple of feel good stories thrown in doesn’t cancel out the steady stream of depressing stories they throw at you.
My mom is an avid news watcher and can never stop talking about all of the horrific weather events, fires and mudslides. I tell her not to watch it because it’s not doing her any favors, but she has to keep up. My dad asks me incredulously if I watch the news because I’m not up to date on everything. He acts like it’s a sin to not be aware. I told him I scan the headlines and that’s all I need. No thanks.
I can see taking a photo of a celebrity in to a store or to a stylist and asking for help putting together a similar look, but an anonymous member of the public? That’s just lunacy. I’m glad the photo wasn’t clear because then the target of paparazzo Lisa would be all over YouTube and Instagram.
Off topic, but have any of you used a personal stylist? My least favorite time of year is coming up and I need help putting together a capsule wardrobe for summer. I just want a few classic, quality pieces that will last me. Most of my stuff is old and I don’t have anyone fashionable who could go to the stores with me and help me out. I like a very classic look which is much easier to do in fall/winter. My style icon is the late Carolyn Bessette and for some reason there aren’t many photos of what she wore in the summer.
Should I go to the mall and people watch? Maybe take some photos of random people for inspo?
--anyone catch what a greedy bitch she is when she said Brooke liked the denim bag... what did Lisa say? I told her maybe I will give it to her when I don't want it anymore...if it was my daughter and I already had over 50 bags in my closet, I would have given her the damn bag
Yes! I literally shouted at my screen, “Give her the damn bag!” Thankfully no one was around to hear.
She’s always been like this with Brooke. Years ago B went to the store with John and got a nail polish. Lisa had to go out and buy the same shade for herself. I can’t imagine growing up with that woman as your mother.
Dang, with every video she just gets further out. The funniest thing is she takes the subject of fashion so seriously and seems to think her superficial world is as important as physics. Her face gets this dreamy look as she’s imparting her special brand of wisdom, and as the words tumble out, all we’re left with is meaningless Zaxby’s word salad and ghastly looks like above.
My father in law had a small yacht and the fuel costs alone were close to 100k, for one year and that was in the mid 80's. That man could piss money away, like no other man I ever met!! Meanwhile my MIL served hamburgers and carrot sticks, and premade ice tea, for our rehearsal dinner, in the church basement. Sound familiar? He spent she tried to live on half a shoestring budget.
Ugh, I imagine your MIL never got to buy herself a few luxuries. 😡 Jawn only has his vitamins to splurge on. Everything else must be funneled to the narc.
Why doesn’t Lisa have a yacht by now? Actually, she probably could have had part of one for all that she spends on clothes, makeup, shoes and other crap. 😂
From everything we see, both of those kids have suffered emotional neglect. They had their physical needs met, but Lisa kind of reminds me of how my mom was in her own world and preoccupied with other things when I was growing up. Now my mom isn’t a narc and very far from a materialistic, snobby spendthrift, but she just didn’t know how to connect with a kid. She didn’t know how to play with dolls or draw. My grandma did that with me since I am an only child. It’s left me with some issues. I can only imagine how much worse it was/is for Brooke and Will.
When she said she gave them something to look at in the grocery store, I was like WTH? The only thing she provided was a good story for the folks to tell their family when they got back home. “I saw this woman who resembled an Afghan hound in the meat aisle, smiling like a lunatic and wearing a sequin skirt and stripper shoes!” Actually, that would be a good secondhand story to share with people. 🤔
I can’t for the life of me imagine Lisa sitting with her kids trying to teach them things and giving them the nurturing they needed. If Brooke wound up with borderline or any of the personality disorders, the culprit is her childhood and likely emotional neglect.
Maybe it’s a sugar daddy or a dealer. It could be a joint that she’s smoking.
As for storage, I don’t have a huge wardrobe, but I have too many books. I do weed them out and have plenty of space at home for them, but still…there’s too many. My husband has a ton too. My other thing is I collect little figures of my favorite cartoon characters, but they fit in one bin, so it’s not that bad.
I searched on Google “I hate the word yummy” and quite a few threads popped up on other boards. One person said it makes you sound like a moron. We don’t use that word enough to describe Lisa.
Yummy literally means delicious, so what, did she lick her face? Have John take a little bite? Just how is her makeup yummy?
I say this with the same tone as Joe Pesci in the Goodfellas “how am I funny?” scene. I’d like to get in Lisa’s face and ask, yummy how? Like you’re an ice cream cone that tastes good to you? What the F is so yummy to you? 🤣🤣
I thought I’d share with you gals what I call the Lisa ripple effect. I’ve mentioned before that my stylist and I have an inside joke about the little hairs that stand up on your head after getting color/bleach. Lisa thought those were “new growth” in one of her videos where she was getting her hair done. 🤣 Anyway, I usually get a few because my hair is heavily highlighted, but not that many. Yesterday my stylist used the usual Olaplex in the bleach but also a new product they’re carrying called K18 and she said, “Look, you don’t have any new growth!” It was pretty amazing that there weren’t any broken hairs, but the fact that my stylist remembers and regularly uses the Lisa reference had me dying!
Lisa’s stupidity is probably shared with others all over the world!
Honestly, who really thinks about dressing rich lol...I guess only Lisa. And rich is not classy - look at her other idol Kim Kardashian lol...she doesn't fit any of these "rules". It's just basically a juvenile thing to even care. Most uber wealthy people aren't getting their photos taken anyway - she only uses photos of celebrities and that is who she perceives to be wealthy.
She says she's going to show "us" how to dress wealthy on a budget or for less or something - video coming soon.
She definitely lives in a fantasy land. Doubting these people are getting in their Tesla's to drive through McDonalds for a double beef patty and fork lol.
Teenagers. When I was 15, my little pea brain thought being rich was the be all, end all of the universe, and I plastered designer labels from magazines all over my locker and attempted to dress the best I could even though my family was thoroughly middle class. Labels were so important then. My friends would ooh and aah over all of the popular late 80s/early 90s labels.
Now I look at my yearbook and laugh. What a silly kid I was. If I was acting this way at 52 like Lisa, I'd get my head examined.
I’ll have an oz of whatever Mary’s smoking. Lisa a feminist? HOWWW?
I swear, the world we live in makes less sense by the day. Or maybe it’s just that the internet has shown us just how many crazies are truly out there.
Lisa is not even a classic 50s housewife. How can people not recognize a nothingburger when it’s staring them in the face?
