You might be familiar with a now well-known woman in Arkansas who just gave birth to her 18th child. Michelle Duggar and her husband Jim-Bob (I know. Don't get me started) have a show on TLC called, 18 Children & Counting. It started out a few years back and was originally called 15 children and Counting, but....well, Michelle can't seem to keep her pants on....hence, the name change.
OK, I can get past the 18 children (although just watching them gives me a rash). I can get past their home schooling and simply ways (I can't really get past the home school, but let's just pretend for the sake of argument that I can). I can even look beyond the fact that they insist on naming their children "J" names; Josiah, Jeremiah, Jediah, Johanna, Jemima, etc. However, I draw the line at mom's wardrobe and overall appearance.
For all intents and purposes, all 18 of her children are gorgeous. Mathematically, you'd assume at least a handful would have gotten the ugly gene, but no, they are a surprisingly good-looking family. Especially the daughters! Their long permed hair and matching denim skirts, I can do without, but that's nothing that a quick trip to Target can't fix. (they don't have Neiman Marcus in Arkansas). I'm not knocking their child rearing tactics. I don't know if the Duggars medicate their children before taping, but they are 18 of the most articulate, polite, well mannered, well behaved, outgoing, kind & considerate group of individuals I've ever seen. They're obviously doing something right, in that regard.
But back to the lecture at hand. Michelle....oh, Michelle. Do you even own a mirror? Who told you that 4 foot long, frizzy mullet looked good? Bless your heart. In her defense, the woman has been pregnant for approximately 16 years. It's hard to put effort forth when you're pregnant and taking care of little ones, but for Christ's sake, you've got a mullet.
So, here's what I propose. Since this is a TLC show that we're talking about here, I see no reason why we can't ambush her with a sneak-attack make over? It can be What Not To Wear meets 18 Children and Counting. I'm putting together a petition to get Michelle Duggar a new look.
Step One: Cut the hair
That should do it. I'm confident the rest will fall into place after that. (oh...and she probably needs to have her vag reconstructed). Eventually, I'd like to tackle her clothes, but honestly, I've hardly noticed them because I've been so preoccupied with her hair. She's not an unattractive woman. Once you look past her ubiquitious belly, nude nylons & navy flats. I'm almost certain that she could even be lovely once introduced to cosmetics & hair product. We don't want her looking too good....I mean the poor woman has 18 kids as it is. If want to stand a fighting chance at this, Jim-Bob is gonna have to keep his mouse in his house for a while .
You heard it here first. I'm on an altruistic crusade to make over Michelle Duggar. Hop on the campaign trail with me! Who's in???

You are sooo FUNNY!! I am a friend of Denise's who is also posting and we want you in our BuNcO group as we sooo need you!!! (We have a few we need to get rid of)..
And I could not agree with you more on Michele and Hello who wants to "do it" Jim-Bob...wan't he a Walton?
Found your blog when a friend forwarded your "bunco" posting. We have a bunco group as well, and you would fit right in! I love to read your blog....I just sit by myself and laugh and laugh. Thanks!
We have a "swim" mom on our team that has a mullet! My friend Diana and I have said for years we need to make her over. There are no circumstances that would make a mullet "okay".
Thanks for the laughs and for keeping it real!
Diana & Denise,
My fellow bunco babes, you girls need to clean house as it relates to your bunco group. Weed out the riff raff! Or, keep the riff raff and weed out the squares! Or, just get rid of everyone and keep the weed. I'm crying that you mentioned "we have a mullet on our team".
Keep reading!!!
Denise and Diana,
I am currently shopping for a mullet wig to have at the Bunco that I am hosting in May. We need to retire the pink boa(I think I noticed an odor on it during the last Bunco, and I would know since I buncoed like six times!) Personally I can live with the mullet - it is a personal choice and I am all about letting your freak flag fly - however if you are going to fly your freak flag, fly it with pride and launder it once in a while!
Leslie, sorry about hijacking your blog. I love, love, love it. You speak the truth!!! Rock on!!
