[Anonymous]

Gross, yet fascinating in a train wreck sort of way

[Anonymous]

Wow - just wow. I’m equally disturbed/fascinated by Turtle Creek Lane

Why does she smile so big in every picture? The bottom teeth smile creeps me out. Can't she half-smile (or soft smile) so it doesn't show bottom teeth? The pictures would be far less creepy. Or maybe her teeth are veneer and stick out, so it's hard to keep them 'tucked in' when smiling?

This is classic Texas BIG hair and BIG teeth combo. To each their own.

Also, can you imagine what this lady must’ve looked like in the 1980’s!???!!

No, I cannot. I really would love to see it though. Maybe she will do an '80s themed costume party? One can only hope.

Catholic All Year

Ten kids, Uber Catholic, lives the liturgical year every day at home.

Not an influencer, sorry.

But fascinating.

Maybe we could expand a bit to make this a DCUM thread as an alternative to GOMI? Not Influencer specific, but for prolific enough bloggers? I've gone down the Kendra rabbit-hole and would love to discuss...

I'm actually kind of surprised there hasn't been a blogger mega-thread. There is so much craziness out there.

Okay, this one is actually really interesting. Kind of scary, but it seems like her heart is in the right place (I hope).

PP here, the one who first posted about her. I also did the second post about her not being an influencer.

She is really interesting, really smart, and appears to be an excellent mother. Her heart is definitely in the right place, at least based on what she shares online. At the same time, she’s kind of scary.

All of that is what keeps me going back and reading her stuff routinely.

Horse Mouth.

Dentist here, and I’m 99% sure those are NOT veneers. They look like natural Horse teeth to me.

Chelsea Pomeroy. It is the most amazing thing ever.

Unfortunately, she blocked me. I don’t know why, I never even commented on any of her posts or even liked them. I miss seeing those pictures so much!

Caroline Deisler. Super fit, gorgeous German vegan world traveler.

@TainaLicciardoToivola Jesus-loving, vegan, homeschooling mom of 10. All children wear white and have white/light hair. Youngest appear to be blanket trained. They live in Finland? Australia? Not sure, they’re often globetrotting....

Anyone else follow them? Let’s discuss! Or... got anyone else I should know about?

This turtlecreek lady is fascinating!! I've never seen anything like that before. She needs to be on the Real Housewives!

Yes agreed I have straight up never and I mean never seen rich Mormon deranged decorating housewife quite like this.

How old is she? 50?

I grew up around rich Mormons—down the road from a lavish temple. My moms family except her all went to BYU and donate a ton to BYU.

Instagram is a bad flashback.

Looks like generational wealth. No offense to DCUMers, but the white ladies who come from money —> gummy smile correlation is real.

Where did the Turtle Creek family get their money?

Mr. Turtle is the CEO of an investment company focused in real estate and energy.... lots of money

A lot of the Mormons are very successfull business people. They live internationally for two years on their mission outreach. They don't drink or party.

That said, much of the decorations look tacky and nouveau riche. I prefer decorations made from natural materials from my yard that are free.

I’m the poster above with Mormon family that founded a company and are active in the BYU alumni community. Her husband and her are also involved with that . https://marriottschool.byu.edu/advisoryboard/directory/member/?id=2692

This. Also how the heck are her legs so thin?

Why is Kendra home schooling Catholic kids when there are so many good Catholic schools out there?
