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

[No Thank You v 2.0]

It was only 69 degrees in Austin today, and I’m sure she keeps the AC cranked up all the way when indoors, so why were her knees sweating?

There’s a whole body deodorant commercial where a girl sniffs her knees and implies her knees smell bad. I used to play volleyball, and in that situation, sure, I could see how your knees could get funky, but other than wearing kneepads all day at a volleyball tournament, is this an issue for anyone but people like Anna and teenage volleyballers? I assume she exemplifies their target audience, with random folds and places for fungus to hide.

I have been wondering, are these whole-body deodorants so popular these days because of the obesity rates? Humans typically have like three main places where they sweat and stink at the end of a single day that started with a shower: pits, crotch, and feet (and there are already products for all of these bits). Under and between your breasts might be a thing as well if you’re a well-endowed female, but without additional rolls and folds of flesh that trap moisture, are there people out there who really need to control their knee funk with a specific product? Is it just a way to make people think they need something they don’t really need? I recently saw that apron belly lady in the FA thread mention all the special products she uses on her folds, so I do believe it’s a real issue that needs a solution, but are the big deodorant brands getting into this because they see significant market possibilities with obese women?

Also, are these products really being pushed as hard as I think they are, or is it just because I watch so many fat-gorl reactions on YouTube, that they think I’m also fat and that’s why I see the ads so often?

I didn't know I needed whole-body deodorant until the ads told me. Then again, I'm not a death fat and I shower regularly.

 

[Palmer Bangs]

Whole-body deodorant used to be called “soap”

 

[Miltank]

Aside from deathfats, only people that are athletes or workout a lot would need full body deodorant. It typically doubles as a anti-chafing agent/lubricant so it’s great for the inner thighs of runners/walkers especially if they’re wearing shorts

 

[GenociderSyo]

Anna is moving again and she has confirmed surgery in January which she early said is on her arms.

 

[Breadbear]

Wouldn't a whole body deodorant just be perfume? Or is it also an antiperspirant? Blocking all of your sweat pores seems like a bad idea.

Many of you will be surprised to know that in college I made most of my clothing. I loved creating my own prints and repurposing vintage finds to fit me. When I graduated and took a fancy corporate job, I lost the time and space I had just for me. I've been working really hard this year to reclaim that space for me, and sewing is one of those things I find myself interested in again. My skills are a bit rusty, but I'm proud of how this first trip back to sewing land went. Now that I got my machine back up and rolling, I can't wait to keep exploring my
creativity.

One thing l've had to learn is that when we are often pressured in life to deprioritise what we love. You have to fight for the time, the space, and the energy to do what brings you joy. It can feel overwhelming, but as a girl who waited too long to take her
space- it's worth it.

Anna you’ve been self employed since 2018. You have had NOTHING but time on your hands. The only crafty things you’ve produced of late is a Christmas ornament hat sloppily held together with glue gun spooge and a basted skirt made from sweatsuit rags.

“I made most of my clothing in college” what horseshit. Dyeing and gluing pompoms to thrift store finds is not making your own clothes.

You forget: Sally Shine has an ENORMOUS, hail-damaged, dented, flat asscrack.

And if you think she can WIPE, let alone, not get piss trickles, period blood, and liquid shit all over the toilet seat, toilet tank, and bathroom floor, well!

Also, she created her own.................prints? Does she mean patterns? Because the notion that this bitch was on the phone with the factory in Indonesia customizing printed fabric is ludicrous.


Her friends are so lucky to have an experienced dating guru like Anna to help them.

 

[thejackal2]

This is wild. Tracie is a FULL TIME employee of Anna's. She hasn't worked as a teacher going on three years. Poor Anna, even her "bestie" is just a paid friend.

 

[Ass Dan]

Lume and its competitors are marketed as "whole body deodorants" because they want you to buy more of it. Simple as. They tell you to put it all over yourself, even though that's not necessary for most non-deathfat people, because the more you use the more you buy. (I use Lume, just on my pits, because it fucking WORKS, and it's all natural and doesn't have aluminum or any of the other weird shit that the other big brands have.)

I'm no expert seamstress but I'd give that "skirt" about one wearing before it completely falls apart. She put like one stitch every other inch. Come on now.

I don't like Anna, but I will give credit when it's due: she made an actual garment; that garment almost sort-of fits her; and if it weren't that hideous fucking tie-dye she keeps insisting upon wearing, it might have been almost cute. I keep saying that all of the fat chicks who complain about not being catered to should learn to fucking sew, and Anna has sewn something, so yay.

I suspect she finally pulled out the machine and went back over all of that sloppy hand-stitching, because Bernadette Banner she is not, and those were some big honkin' running stitches.

But this is a surprising step in the right direction, in which she actually made something out of a garment she normally would have landfilled. I wish the fuck she'd either stop it with the tie dye, or make the effort to get good at it, rather than continuing to make undersaturated dye barf out of everything, but whatevs.

And no, I don't believe she made all of her own clothes when she was in college, but given what a wasteland plus-size fashion was 20 years ago, I wouldn't be surprised if she made a few things here and there just to have something that wasn't an animal print, a sofa-worthy floral, or bedazzled all to hell (which is what I remember the fat chicks at my then-workplace wearing).

Anna is moving again and she has confirmed surgery in January which she early said is on her arms.

You't think she'd postpone moving until after recovering from lipo, or would already have moved so she'd be settled in before the procedure. At the rate she's going, she'll be dealing with moving chaos (which is always especially chaotic for Anna) while either preparing to move, or having just moved.

And while yeah, she can pay people to do all the packing, moving, and unpacking for her, it's still going to be a mess. So unless she's been told she needs to find another place by the St. June's management, why is she doing this now?

That said, Anna has no business as an "elder single" helping her divorced friends navigate the dating world again. They, after all, dated enough to find somebody willing to marry them, while Anna has, at best, only landed rare dates with guys who turned out to be perverts into fat chicks. She has nothing to tell them.

ETA:

Also, she created her own.................prints? Does she mean patterns? Because the notion that this bitch was on the phone with the factory in Indonesia customizing printed fabric is ludicrous.

When I was in first grade, one of our art class projects was making potato prints—you'd cut a potato in half, carve away the areas of your design you wanted to remain white, and brush tempera paint onto the carved face of the potato before stamping your design on paper to make a pattern.

Anyway, that's what I think of when I imagine Anna devising her own textile patterns.

There are other easy ways to print on a piece of fabric, and since the '90s and early 2000s were the heyday of decorative stamping and stenciling, there were plenty of pre-made foam stamps and plastic stencils available then. That was also a time when decorating sweatshirts with fabric paint (including the horrid puffy paint), rhinestones, and iron-on designs was a popular craft. So there was no shortage of materials and techniques available to her to hand-print designs on fabric.

How much of that did she actually do? Yeah, your guess is as good as mine, but it's not as if she had a busy social schedule, so maybe she tried her hand at it.

 

[DefCon Dumb]

I’m another one who did a double take at the dating guru self description. Anna navigates the dating scene as well as I’d navigate an arctic plain during a white out, without a compass.

The timing of the move is bizarre. She mentioned some months back she was having more lipodema surgery in January. The only surprise for me is that she’s having it done on her arms. That doesn’t bode well for trying to pack and/or unpack. Had 2 vaccines 72 hours ago and still feeling it; still well able to use the arm but post lipodema suction? Shudder.

Not sure but will she need compression sleeves after that? I know next to nothing about lipodema and absolutely zero about arm lipo.

 

[Glitterz my spirit animal]

I’m kind of surprised to hear she’s doing her arms. I just feel like she’s going to be even more disfigured. Is there a plan to do her gunt? Because that thing is growing at quite a quick rate.
My vote is moving because she needs something cheaper. Do we think she will stay in Austin? Could she go west?
If Anna has so many “friends” on the payroll, she had better pick up the pace with her content or she will be without friends and money

 

[GenociderSyo]

Plans were outer thight, inner thigh, outter arm then inner arm.

 

[OttoWest]

I’m pretty sure she moved into the Saint June in July or August so getting out around Jan/Feb is odd if she was on a one year or 13 month lease. Of course she could just be month-to-month but that’s a huge waste of cash if you’re going to stay in the same city.

Great find on the Tracie thing @thejackal2. Guess that confirms what we’ve all suspected— that Tracie is modding Anna’s comments.

 

[Even more 8008135]

Ah yes, the perfect person to simp for Anna and a fine example of this nation's educators...



This dumb bitch doesn't even know the difference between "defuse" and "diffuse".

Well her stupid ass answer is even stranger than moving 3 times in three years, so yea. changing needs? Like what, she has to have a ADA style apartment? She has to be on a first floor? She has to be closer to medical facilities and door dash depots? She doesn't really live in the city; she lives in some strange exurb area meant more for DINKs or young families looking for more space but that aren't ready to buy. She's not living some Carrie Bradshaw in Manhattan lifestyle here.

It's interesting she doesn't have the money to buy after seemingly easily having enough to buy 3x the house she needed only 4-5 years ago. She cleared like 20K in that sale IIRC so it's not like she took a big haircut on the sale. I think the simplest explanation is she's simply making less money.

"My needs are changing as I age..."

The fuck? Anna's only 41. Her mooing about "aging" is almost as annoying as Corissa's (who started going on about aging at age 35, ffs).

I'm a lot older than Anna or Corissa are, and this shit grinds my gears. Say what you mean, gorls: "The ruinous physical effects of my lifestyle choices are catching up with me."

And yes, it is weird to move every 12-18 months. Moving is expensive, a huge pain in the ass, and disrupts her workflow as far as content creation—surely she is not going to get such a great deal on her next apartment as to offset that, even with a rent increase.

Her lease is up; it's not being renewed (fatly breaking sinks and tubs made that obvious months ago); and frankly, she probably wants a place where she doesn't have to hurple over to another building to collect her mail and packages, where her car is parked closer to her front door, and maybe where she's on the ground floor. That's my take on it.
