Hair don't!

[Ms Lucy Fur]

If she made the blue and green dresses I am impressed, I actually think they're pretty and a lot nicer than a frumper.

[3 is enough]

If a girl is old enough to have breasts, she's too old for that dress.

WTF is on Erin's arm?

[Librul]

Erin's hair is straight up east tn baptist princess hair. It is actually still pretty common there.

The higher the hair, the closer to Gawd.

Did you notice that the last two kids have J names?

Stealin' the J names - poor Duggars! ;)

I bet it's Kelly's way of putting Mullet on notice..."bitch, I'm taking over the clown car title AND I'm taking the letter J!"

I think all the kids are too old for matching dresses. Even small children shouldn't match unless they both want to. I think Michaella and Erin are lucky that they're not stuck in those hideous dresses, because they likely would have been a year ago right along with the rest of them.

[The Archivist]

If I could do that to my hair, I would do it every day just to see the looks on people's faces.

[snickerz]

Judging by those birthdays, Kelly will likely be preggers again any minute now, if she's not already.

Blue must be a signature fundie color. I think another fundie trait is always having a sibling holding the babies in the pictures. So predictable.

[Kaylee]

I like Erin's hair, but then again I end up sporting an Amy Winehouse beehive a few times a month and wearing something over my hair most of the other days, so I'm probably not one to talk.

I really don't get the matching clothes for photos thing that so many families do. I do think the Bates' clothes look nicer than a lot of other fundie families, but I don't think it's fair to dress a teenager the same way as a young child or to make them all dress the same.

[Eclipse]

How do they have the money to buy all the hairspray that Erin needs to maintain her perfect hairdo everyday? That's what keeping the puff up all day, it can't just be prayers.

Maybe the Duggars shared some of their Aqua Net stockpile.

[LilMissMetaphor]

The dresses look like they were made out of curtain material, Sound of Music-style. Or tablecloths.

Maybe she has a bit of tennis elbow from all her playing and the brace helps it?

Poor Michaella, she doesn't even look like part of the sibling group, she just looks like the nanny hired to take care of the babies.

[Bellatrix]

Ugh, that would be so embarrassing. They didn't always have this policy, though. I swear I saw them all in horrid pastel frumpers in the earlier episodes.

Is it some sort of dresscode to warn men to not try and court her yet? If in the little girls' dress: not menstruating so we're not shipping her off yet, the rest, the ones with the crazy hair and such, be our guests. They are bleeding once a month, they are fertile, they are thus available and open to your godly semen ways.

Also, what happens if a girl just doesn't menstruate in a fundie fam'? Do they hit the doctor to find out why or leave it be? With all this silence surrounding the biological facts of the human body, how do they figure all this out sanely?

The Bates have 4 Js. Josie & Jackson Bates were both born before the Kelly & Michelle became BFFs so it is actually the Duggars who are pinching Bates names. We now have to wait and see if we get a Judson or a Jeb Duggar.

Erin's piano technique has worried me since I first saw her play. As a professional musician myself, I work with a physiotherapist who specialises in musicians, to make sure I don't injure myself through the hours of practice I need to do. What are the chances of getting Erin to work someone to prevent injury, rather than just seeing doctors after an injury has occurred? Do we know what their attitude to preventative medicine is?

Ugh. I bet you're right about the dress code. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

It seems that her repetitive stress injuries are more extensive than needing a surgery on one finger.

I (a non-professional pianist myself) predict that by age 35, she will not be able to play anymore.

If playing is important to her (and it seems to be), she needs to get a real professional teacher, go back to the basics, and work with that teacher on fixing her bad habits.

I have said this before. Her playing is like taking an item of clothing and covering it with poorly-sewn-on embellishments. If she could just get the drift of the musical beauty that is in playing the basics beautifully...

[theologygeek]

If she parted her hair on the side, took away the height, and wore it like the pic below, she would look so pretty. This is how I wear my hair but with fatter curls.

[contrary]

i think the dresses on the littlest girls are darling, but over age six or so...totally inappro.

erin just. haha. i really can't figure out what her reasoning is, there.

I agree that dressing the older girls like their youngest sibs is some sort of fundie visual cue regarding reproductive status. creepers.

Yeah, for real. I'm expecting an announcement sometime early this fall at the latest.
