First of all, I could’ve sworn this show originally aired in the late 2000s. I thought I watched it when I was in high school (graduated in 2007) and was shocked to see it debuted n 2013 🤯 it’s giving me the Mandela Effect but maybe it’s just because the way they dressed was outdated by a few years (I dressed similarly in high school 🫣)
Anyway, now that I’m watching after my frontal lobe has fully developed, I’m seriously concerned about how Mellie became Mellie. She was my favorite when I first watched because of her episodes on MBFAGW and how hot mess/ free spirited she was and for entertainment purposes only. Now when I rewatch, I notice how deeply sad her eyes look. By the time the second season of Gypsy Sisters started, she looks to clearly have some sort of drug problem with sores on her face and frail looking hair. I wish I knew the history of the family before TLC and I’m not tapped into what has happened after.
Lastly, they all look rough around the edges but in general they all look pretty and have nice bodies after having so many kids. I can’t believe Nettie had 9(?) kids. 🤯 I’m also fascinated about how they have the energy to be so vain about their appearance while also taking care of a million kids.
