She worked at MAC for one holiday season while she was still working at the dentist's office. Before she moved to LA she worked at a dental office in Seattle, and allegedly did makeup occasionally but has never ever been a full out, making a living makeup artist. She was hired to do makeup for a shoot(that she wasn't the subject of) and called another makeup artist to help her because she didn't have a kit of her own(you're a MUA of how many years and you don't have a kit??? Ok...). So she used the actual makeup artists kit, promised to pay her and never did. And from these photos, she has absolutely NO skills, especially to do makeup on other people. Or maybe her narc tendencies just can't let other people be more beautiful than she is.
Oof...I'm not an MUA, but those aren't great.

Tess's Ursula makeup looks like a Younique rep did it, and the second one is maybe what a talented beginner would do.

She actually told someone she was a pro MUA, and told someone to go back to being an IG MUA?
Pot, meet kettle.

Being a MAC retail artist for one holiday season isn’t an accomplishment, they’re not trained fully like MAC artists and basically just match for foundation and grab things out of drawers for customers.
They’ll do makeup applications if a counter is slammed and anyone with a warm body and makeup brushes is needed, but a lot of the times the end result is tragic.
It’s telling they only kept her for seasonal lol.
 
Tess is trying to make Bowie into A Thing, because nothing ever goes wrong for a child in entertainment

Inspired by a similar question from the Fugifoot board: How would you fix Tess' life?
Let's say you either wake up tomorrow as Tess, or you get hit by Truck-kun and get stuck to her as a ghost that lives in her head or something - What do you do?

Late, but:

Delete all social media and never, ever return.

Leave LA for somewhere with no massive celebrity culture — no New York, for example — but where living a healthier lifestyle is still feasible — so no waddling back to Mississippi. Maybe Colorado or Arizona.

Enroll in community college. Study something applicable to a fucking career. Transfer to a public school and get a degree.

Work a menial job to pay living expenses.

Have both kids live in the home. Support their education.

Get started on a serious diet and exercise plan. Weigh and log every item of food. Maybe go high protein or vegan. Cut out processed food entirely.

Walk. Everywhere. Get a Fitbit and hit the step goal every fucking day. Do yoga and basic small weight exercise at at home.

Lose 50lbs then join a gym.

INTENSIVE THERAPY FOR NARCISSISM lol.
 
Godspeed Bowie. Let's hope nobody wants to buy you. :c horrible shit happen to children in Hollywood.
Tess gives me serious Stage Mom vibes - the kind that live vicariously through their children and turn a blind eye when all the Kevin Spaceys and Harvey Weinsteins promise roles in exchange for "favors".

I really hope Tess' brother steps in and gets the kid away from her before he gets Corey Feldman'd
 
Also, the more I see of her, the more I understand why Russians think Americans are disingenuous with our friendships.
I may be friendly with a lot of people, I may be polite to a lot of people, hell I'll even go out of my way for strangers because that's how I was raised; but I don't go around calling everyone "My so-and-so" or "My bff" or "Bestie". That can't be normal.

No one in this country does that. That is...no one with two brain cells to rub together and a soul.

Ryan Hooves is a user. Ryan is an emotional black hole who is in the same league as Heels Up Harris (maybe when she's done shitting up the WH, she and Ryan can be OMGGGGGGG--BESTIEHHHHHHS!)
At least Insta provides a visual guide for finding who the users, abusers, gaslighters and emotional black holes are.
 
Yeah I thought it was obvious that if he (or she) wants to text you back, they will. You can't just hope super hard that someone will find you attractive.
Hot tip for the insta and Tik Tok fat activists community, I guess- have you tried being more attractive? That could help.
I wonder if he decided to check out her social media before texting her, realized what a narcissistic trainwreck she is, and noped out.

I am, of course, assuming he even exists, and that he asked for her number of his own accord.

That said, she went from zero to fully invested in this guy texting her in no time flat; she would not see the need to even post this if she hadn't. She was probably imagining where he was going to take her and what trinkets he was going to buy her, only to have humiliating reality come crashing down as days went by with no text.

She got all hyped up on her own expectations, and now she's pissed he didn't deliver, so instead of letting it go and moving on, she's got to publicly complain about him. Yet she still wants him to deliver, because she didn't name-and-shame him; if he texted her right now, she'd fall all over herself to get a date.

Can you be a global sex symbol if no one wants to have sex with you? How exactly does she square that?
She just makes it everybody else's fault. She's such a strong woman, they can't handle her; they really desire her, but men are too afraid of what their buddies might think; she deserves only the best men, and the ones who fling themselves at her are unworthy. All of her rationalizations lead to, "It's the men who are the problem; not me."

I'd send my kids back to MS to live with my brother, before choosing the fucking rope.

(She lives in Long Beach; I'm sure the port can loan her a suitably strong rope.)

If she really had crippling anxiety she wouldn't embarrass herself on such a frequent basis. She'd also be a lot more critical towards herself and I don't think I've EVER seen her be self-critical.
Yeah, just like her wannarexia, her "anxiety" is bullshit, and Tess provides all the evidence of what a lie it is right out there on her social media.

I don't doubt she feels tense and anxious when she needs attention and nobody is there to give it to her—Narcissists are junkies, and need their supply. I also don't doubt she feels anxious about her career, financial future, or what she might have to do in order to keep her faltering celebrity and current lifestyle afloat But that's not an anxiety disorder; not even close.

There are cities in the South and Midwest she could do okay in, given a low COL. They are by no means glamorous, but they're decent places to live and raise kids and get your shit back together.

She's what my grandmother used to euphemistically call "not college material." There's no point in her going into debt for a four-year degree; a two-year Associate's degree that will get her straight into the workforce, or training as a MUA at a respected specialty school, would be the way to go for someone that vapid, who just needs to make a living.

Get started on a serious diet and exercise plan. Weigh and log every item of food. Maybe go high protein or vegan. Cut out processed food entirely.

Also, give up on the entire identity she's built for herself as "the hot fat girl" and "first size 22 supermodel!"—both the public identity, and the one in her head. That would be the hardest part, I think. She's been fat for so long, and made it such an integral part of who she is and how she presents herself and gets attention, she doesn't know how to be a normal-sized human where her body size is not the primary thing she is known for.

If she lost weight, the other issue she'd have to deal with would be the changes in her face. She's old enough that her face isn't going to bounce right back to what it was even five years ago. She's also had fillers meant to counteract the increasing fatness of her face, and they're going to look very weird. She's not going to handle aging well anyway, but looking at herself in the mirror after significant weight loss would be extraordinarily difficult.

As hard as cleaning up her diet and getting her eating habits in line would be, I think the mental aspects of losing weight would be her undoing.
INTENSIVE THERAPY FOR NARCISSISM lol.
The occasional, rare, low-end Borderliner or Histrionic can use intensive therapy to learn some basic emotional regulation and how to mitigate some of the effects of their personality disorder. But Narcissists are effectively untreatable because they can't admit there is anything significantly wrong with them or the ways they think and act. Narcissists in therapy are manipulative, and use therapy as a means of getting confirmation that they are the one surrounded by abusers.

So there is no such thing as intensive therapy for Narcissism (except maybe a bullet).
 
But therapy notoriously doesn't work for narcs and BPD (or, more accurately, the other way around)?
I don’t know if it’s that DBT/therapy works on BPD or just that there are train wrecks that fit the criteria at one point, but there do seem to be people with BPD that are….recovering from being a BPD train wreck.
The risk is always there to backslide of course because it’s still there in the brain, but there are women that get diagnosed in their 20’s and no longer fit diagnostic criteria 10 years later.
BPD people sometimes have the insight (sometimes) to realize they’re acting like a selfish piece of shit that harms everyone around them, I don’t think I’ve ever met a narc who has.
I’ve met a narc that accepts their diagnoses of NPD and goes to extensive therapy for it, but they’re still a narc at heart to say the least.

Personality disorders are a pox on mankind.
 
About the dude that ghosted her...

I like to think that this particular gentleman laughed and high-fived everyone else in the call center proclaiming "Ika vaḍā ika muḍi'ā baiga!" before getting his headset back on and returning to work.

(translation courtesy of Google Translate, because I am an uneducated cur.)
 
I used to have a friend that did that in literally any reflective surface. Always checking themselves out, if they could see themselves they never really engaged in conversation.
I have assumed Tess is doing the same, but she's recording it.

I think it's just a narc vanity thing.

Edit for tmi
Weirdly enough, body checking is a thing that eating disorders sufferers do. (Note, I am not crazy and would bet on binge eating disorder over atypical anorexia for our girl here, if anything). If she was only partially lying about her ED history, substituting the "sexier" anorexia for a less glamorous EDNOS, and her stress is bringing her back to it, expect a breakdown soon.
 
she is not body positive and she is not in love with her body and she is a terrible roll(heh) model. Even gaining 20 pounds sucks, I can’t imagine being at her weight exhausted all the time and likely sore.View attachment 2708051View attachment 2708052

“Love yourself and you too can have a beanbag chair ass and resort to public meltdowns every time a man doesn’t give you that D. Girl Power!”

One big difference between Borderliners and Narcs is that many Borderliners tend to mellow over time, while Narcissists get worse as they age.

Also, just based on my own observations, Borderliners are more likely to exist spread along a continuum from, "has really strong Borderliner traits that are currently wreaking havoc on their life, but might not actually be a full-blown Borderliner," to "WARNING: CRAZY. DO NOT INSERT DICK. THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING." The least severe ones are more likely to benefit from therapy.

But with Narcissism, it's more cut-and-dried. Yeah, there's still a continuum, but the densest clustering is further to the left.

And maybe the sex difference has something to do with this; men are more likely to be Narcs and Antisocials; women are more likely to be Borderlines and Histrionics—and thus be more subject to intense emotional distress they need help alleviating. Women are also far more likely to seek therapy or use self-help methods produced by mental health professionals (books, workbooks, video programs, workshops, seminars) than men are. So maybe part of the mellowing Borderliners experience is due to that. The Narcs and Antisocials, on the other hand, see nothing wrong with their behaviors, don't fear abandonment in the same way, and don't live with the same degree of emotional chaos, so they rarely seek therapy (or only go when dragged to couples' therapy). And if Narcs do get into therapy and stay there, it's because they've found a therapist who lacks the ability to recognize and call them on their shit (see: Jude Valentin; Kelly Lenza).

Fuck, I'm Cluster B sperging again. Oh well.
