Pricklleen the Editing Machine & the SmileMakers part 9

I get a bit of a chuckle out of Colleen/The Ballingers super staged "candid" photos. Like the ones with Parker asleep in Colleen's arms and Colleen looks like she's sleeping too. You ever have people over for a casual get-together then randomly pass out on the couch? There was another with Colleen and a couple of the kids with Bailey holding a very thick and most likely adult book, as if they just handed her a book and said "Take this and pretend you're reading it" in order to push the "Oh, look what a little bookworm Bailey is!" agenda. I mean it could've been Harry Potter or something kid-friendly, but I doubt it.

Has anyone mentioned these before?

Colleen tells a story about how she hurt the family dog by deliberately pinching the dog, digging her nails into it's skin. The dog bit her and when they asked what happened she said that the dog just bit her for no reason.
The dog was put down.

First video telling story:



Video confirming it. She "feels bad" for basically getting a dog destroyed because she was throwing a tantrum.




Videos are now unlisted. So obviously she cares more about herself and her image than the fact that she got a dog killed.

Somebody mentioned it before, but I have to agree with how annoying it is that Chris always titles their vlogs impersonal things like "Girl Falls into Shark Tank" or "Homeschool Kids Visit a Prison." Ugh.

Well I'm a homeschool kid who has been IN prison, so Chris better watch out. LMAO.

Well not prison, but a night in jail for underage drinking. Homeschooling doesn't make your kids perfect forever. In my case I got arrested the very first time I tried alcohol in college at age 19. I had been so sheltered that I never tried it before. I did a bunch of shots and puked in my dorm room. Boom, off to jail.

So Colleen took a trip to the beach today. I wonder who with, since Kory was clearly at home at the same time (this is all via their snapchats).

This is super random but I wonder if Colleen is still proud of the lame Miranda book that she (AND CHRISTOPHER!) "wrote". I remember seeing it in Target a few months ago and I couldn't believe what garbage it actually was.
The enter the new wave of YouTubers who are coming out with actual books/autobiographies that some (like Gabbie and Shane) actually wrote themselves.
I personally think most YouTuber book deals are silly, but at least they're not terrible picture books. I get that Miranda is all about ugliness and misspelling but how in the world one could be proud to put their name on that "book" is beyond me.

Not to defend her.. but my best friend almost always falls asleep at parties. Alcohol may be involved, but if Colleen is on pain meds it's totally plausible that she would pass out with people there.

Ugh... I understand that she was a small child at the time, but this makes my blood boil... and the fact that she found this appropriate to talk about on the internet so nonchalantly makes me sick. That is not normal... she needs some serious help.

oh, don't get me wrong, I've passed out at MANY a party, and maybe Colleen just had her eyes closed, but it struck me as a pretty forced tender moment

This is one thing I'll give her a pass for. Yeah it's kinda weird but if you eat meat, eggs, dairy, or wear leather you've paid for hundreds of animal deaths which were a lot more brutal than a dog euthenization.

I think the story does suggest how screwed the Ballinger family was.

I think the fact that she would lie and get the family dog put down is a lot different. A dog is basically a member of the family. (I don't have pets but I still feel this about childhood pets)

 

I thought those sleeping pics were those fake "oh look at baby and me sleeping! Look how cute I am- uh! I mean WE are!" That a lot of people do with kids for newborn pics?
like they look like the ones everyone knows you're fake sleeping for and ask you to do it for "the memories"

She post when her husband does lol


And for the dog thing... I eat meat. I don't personally terrorize and inflict pain on the animals before they die. I try to buy free-range, cruelty free as much as possible. I won't watch that video, but if the dog bit her she must have really hurt it. She tortured it until it snapped and then lied, resulting in it's death. That's not the same as eating meat.

Rachel can be obnoxious but she does seem to have a good head on her shoulders. I heard she has a degree in psychology. Someone once told me that people who are passionate about matters of the mind/mental health issues usually experienced them themself or through people close to them. Maybe she wanted to figure out her family...

Rachel is 10x better than Coal. 1) She's actually humble, such as admitting her meet and greet was slow. 2) Doesn't abuse her dog (that I know of, I don't watch her vids) 3) Actually sets a healthy example for kids by working out and having a healthy body image.

Omg, no. There is so much wrong with Colleen's story.

When I was 4, we got our family dog. She lived for 16 years and our whole family was devastated when she died. Devastated. I never ever ever ever ever would have grabbed and pinched my dog in the first place, for any reason. Ever.  And, I would have lied to KEEP my dog from being killed.

Some of you are nicer than me about giving her a pass.

And, why are the dogs always penned in the back yard? Euthanizeleen is supposedly so nice to dogs now, but she never interacts with the dogs at Divorce Gwen's house. I hope they let those dogs out of the pens normally.

But, bottom line, even as a kid, if my dog died, I wouldn't (and haven't ever fully) gotten over it. Knowing it was my fault... and I'm joking about it..just no.

I understand what you're saying but that's nowhere near the same thing. What she did with that family pet is reminiscent of someone with sociopathic tendencies. She threw a temper tantrum, hurt the dog and then lied about why the dog defended itself against her and years later tells the story as if it were some quirky anecdote from her childhood. that's not normal.

I agree with whoever was talking about Chris' latest video.

What. A. Dick. "I'm going to have to teach Bailey some manners." Who is going to teach YOU some manners you insensitive, humiliating, egotistical, pimpish, intrusive, lazy, co-dependent, idiotic parental, butthole?

Your kids don't want to hear about your weirdo glory days with your car parts friend. And, maybe your kids want to find their own friends instead of the creepy family vlogger friends you shove in their faces.

Ever notice how the Ballinger kids cling for dear life whenever they are saying goodbye to ANYONE outside the family?

These people get under my skin. lol. Chris is so annoying. Put your camera down and live in the moment, Steven Vlogberg.

Where, pray tell, is Colleen this Saturday night?
Off getting her needs met by Eerik.

"Steven Vlogberg, Euthanasleen, and the Crab Queen"

So Rebecca and Matt were at Jojo's party and so were Rachel, Messica and the anti Chris. Im so curious to know how that encounter played out. I don't even know why Jojo would have the Ballingers at her party..no doubt Messica begged and fanagled an invite thru Rachel..otherwise I can't see Rachel hanging with Jojo. I really hope Rebecca iced them out.

How much time have you got? Hint, none of it involves liking root beer. That's not fun or quirky, and neither are you.

Is she implying people who like rootbeer have something wrong with them?

She is just not using any brain power when she tweets. The tweet doesn't have a point.

Yes, root beer is clearly so weird. So she's implying that if she likes it there must be something wrong with her.

I think the fact that she's 30 and makes box mix cupcakes in a cone for every occasion is weirder than liking root beer.

The point is probably that it's Erik's fave drink and she's obsessed w him. He likes Dr Pepper right? Root beer has a similar flavor imo. Just a theory. I mean she did probably spend the day w him today so...

Ah she's probably been spending the whole day with him but she doesn't want people to think she's spending the whole day with him so she's making pointless, inane tweets about root beer, like that's all she's thinking about

Why wouldn't she invite them? The Ballingers have been to Jojo's house before in a vlog, I believe. It seems like Jojo is a huge Miranda stan and obsessed with all things Ballinger. I wonder if she'll grow out of it like Ariana did, that would be hilarious to watch.
