Anna o' Brien / Glitter + Lazers / GlitterandLazers - Fat, drunk, consoomer attention whore who would rather eat and drink herself to death than endure a single negative emotion

[Angry New Ager]

You can't get a secret name as a Mormon unless you go through the temple endowment ceremony.

I would be very surprised if Anna had gone through the endowment ceremony. I don't see anything in what we know of her teenage years to make me think she leaned into religion, either to make up for what was going on with her mom or being an awkward social reject at school. Participating in the endowment ceremony has a bunch of requirements, and I don't see her meeting them.

Spoiler: spergulations on Anna as a Mormon

Mormonism's a high-demand, intensely communal religion that asks a lot of its adherents; the Mormons I know all have various church commitments, and keep ending up on one committee after another. Some are better at refusing service obligations than others, but they've all got something, especially the women. Serving the church community is a huge deal.

Given her personality, I don't see Anna going along with that; she needs a lot of attention and admiration for everything she does, and serving anything or anybody other than Anna herself is merely incidental—Anna's wants and needs always come first, always have, and that was evident even in her earliest blogs and social media postings.

And while she grew up in an LDS family, I don't get the impression that they were particularly devout. Maybe not full-blown Jack Mormons, but leaning that way. Her brother, from what little we've seen of him, may be the one who takes it most seriously.

So I think she rejected Mormonism at a fairly early age—if not a hard rejection where she deliberately pushed back against it, then at least a soft rejection where she just didn't bother participating. And that would have included not bothering to do the things or be the good LDS member required to go through the endowment ceremony.

I mean, sure, but if you can’t shave off 43 minutes from your drive time, I am canceling your Texas Birth Certificate.

Anna wasn't born in Texas, but if you don't drive balls-out through that long, empty stretch of west Texas, what are you even doing with your life?

Didn’t watch the video just looked at the still and that little boy is very uncomfortable. The girl doesn’t look thrilled either but is masking it better.

When are some dumb assed parents going to catch on that you NEVER put kids on public social media

What? You ok, looks like you stroked out there

Yeah, I'd say Anna's going to be really lucky to get one more Christmas with the kids' grudging cooperation. The boy looks completely over her and her bullshit.

Sorry, cell phone spazzed out and I had to deal with a screaming small child so didn’t properly check before hitting send

Quit showing the poor tyke pictures of Anna. I find they stop crying almost immediately.

 

[Stroppy Trollop]

I think Anna can continue to use Tracey's kids for content for a few more years but she's going to have to seriously step up her game. Today's younger crowd is savvy. They want cash or gift cards, expensive electronics, high end cosmetics and designer label shit. This is the last time Tracey's minors--whom can't truly consent to being filmed and whom will not be compensated for their appearance--will be barely happy to receive stupid matching pyjamas and stuffed animals.

Regarding the Mormonism in Anna’s family:

Remember that her maternal grandfather is in a Moravian (Protestant Christian) cemetery. Grandma Kay is with him there, but I suspect that’s where the Mormonism comes to play, from Kay. It’s entirely possible grandpa converted for Kay’s sake, and the decision to go to the Moravian cemetery was simply practical, if he had inherited the spaces from previous generations.

I was looking at Susan’s cremation bench again, to see if they had any religious symbols on her final resting place and frankly, the photo isn’t great, but there is no obvious sign that this was a Mormon couple (like a depiction of the temple or a quote that refers to the “eternity” of family). It says the day they married, but that’s very common for non-Mormons.



Was Anna’s dad in law enforcement? The 7-point star on his side of the bench is difficult to decipher but a 7-point star is common with LE badges.

In the middle of the seat is a passage with an image of a little cannon, which makes me think Susan has ancestry that goes back at least to revolution times. Susan was an active genealogist from what I can tell, some lady posted on FindAGrave commenting about how great Susan’s work on the Born family tree was (a GF Born was Susan’s grandfather, I guess, according to the random lady’s post). I don’t think Susan has an emblem for the Daughters of the American Revolution on their bench.

I am pretty sure there is a Christian cross in at least one emblem, and Mormons do not do crosses like regular Christians do.

ETA: not sure how that posted before I was done, but I am going to follow up with this later with the comments about genealogy and more sperging.

I think she once said he did stuff for the fire department.

Anna has posted about her father being a big fan of whiskey (or Scotch, maybe? Not a drinker so I'm not sure what the difference is); on some old post there's a mention of a visit to a distillery during some trip she took with her father and stepmom (back when he would be seen in public with her). So while I think she was raised Mormon, I don't think the family is uber-Mormon.
EDIT: ninja'd by @JambledUpWords all the way back in 2021: Post in thread 'Anna o' Brien / Glitter + Lazers / GlitterandLazers' https://kiwifarms.net/threads/anna-o-brien-glitter-lazers-glitterandlazers.66801/post-9611050

Also, I bow to @No Thank You 2.0's knowledge of southwest drive times; I normally have quite the lead foot, but maybe I'm remembering from Las Cruces to San Antonio. In any case, Anna is obnoxious and loud and NMSU Aggies will not have sex with her.

ETA: doesn't her dad have some vintage fire truck in his yard?

 

[OttoWest]

Tom Sr. has a restored fire engine, or at least he had one at one point. Maybe he was a volunteer firefighter. He was at one point the VP of marketing and sales for a company in Cleveland and attended Ohio State. He’s 75 and likely long since retired.

That video with the kids is also beyond gross because she's clearly shilling for Starbucks and her stupid "line." I seem to recall on the Disney trip, she mentioned that the little boy doesn't like being filmed. Yet here we are.

 

[brooky]

whiskey (or Scotch, maybe? Not a drinker so I'm not sure what the difference is);

Whiskey is whiskey. It can be from Ireland or the US (spelled whiskey with an e), or from Canada, Scotland or Japan (spelled whisky without an e.)

Scotch is whisky that is distilled in Scotland, that's all. Any whisky distilled in Scotland is Scotch. Some people call it "Scotch whisky."

Bourbon and rye are also whiskies.

She now is making them advertise her crappy sweaters. You can really see the quality on the kid. In the earlier video they were also wearing Jollidays sleepwear, just not "her collection."

Love how her friend has nothing positive to say and just shifts around uncomfortably. Imagine laying on the cold, hard pavement to take some stupid video for your lonely, narcissistic, morbidly obese college friend, and after she finally decides she's got enough footage and you can go back inside, she stops in the middle of the driveway and whips out the phone once more just to tell the camera that you don't get thanked enough. By her.

 

[deputydogshit2.0]

I was in a Kohl’s store yesterday. My eyes were assaulted by a rack of hideous, garish, trashy sweaters that you can just tell would be itchy AF and probably give you a rash. I looked at the tag. Jollydays. 100% crap.

She replied to this comment on the TikTok she had with her godchildren.

 

[Barbarella]

Yet? YET? Wow, she’s more delusional than I thought.

I thought Anna would latch onto the child-free idea, seeing as she has such a busy, active life.

Yet my ass.

Yet?
She's 39 and 600 pounds, there's no "yet."

[Barbarella]

Hasn’t she turned 40? I keep seeing 39 and 40 but I thought it was actually 40 now.
