Guilty Pleasure? These are my wonderful readers.
Readers? I am simply tickled pink to get the opportunity to introduce you to.......Sister Wives!
If you're not watching this piece of media gold yet, you should be. Sister Wives is a TLC show that outlines the life of a polygamist family living in Utah. Up close and personal you get to watch as the family takes YET ANOTHER WIFE...how the current wives respond and how the family balloons from 17 with a baby on the way to 22 with the addition of the FOURTH wife and her 3 kids.
The really interesting thing? HOW does this man do it. I swear, he walks around like he's got unicorns in his brain and he farts rainbows. He's so happy and so devoted to his family. When you watch the group interviews, he is so interested and in-tune to what each of his wives are saying, it's ridiculous. He loves his babies, they love each other -- it's a big ol' love fest in Utah. I mean, sure he gets a lot of lovin' with all those wives, but sheeze, think of the stresses he faces supporting this huge network of peoples and those peoples needs and wants!
Plus, it's a sneak peak into a lifestyle that I've only seen portrayed in HBO's Big Love and who the heck knows how accurate that is? Well really, how accurate is reality TV - but shush your naysayin' mouth and think about the REAL questions....how do they afford this lifestyle much less toilet paper for that many bottoms?! (he drives a Lexus and works in advertising)
Just watch. We'll discuss after.
For now I'll leave you with this photo of some the Brown babies (remember there are more than shown):
My favorite baby is the one that's making a break for it towards the tires in the upper right! I bet he just wanted some alone time!
Now - your homework for the week is to watch this show and report back on which wife is your favorite.
I'm gunning for Janelle, sure she's let herself go a bit, but she's a doer and a worker bee. God bless her for having the sense to get out of a house full of 17 kids for a few hours a day.
Ta ta for now. Love y'all bunches.
Big dork update: I just found this article while stalking the Brown's further - a nice lil' nod for my brainy/worker bee Janelle, but what's all this about a court case for bigamy AND Meri (first wife) apparently lost her job once the show aired. Do you think such a punishment is deserved or is it discrimination??? DumDumDaaaaaaaa!!!!
