I've lurked over at GG and GB for a long time, but never wanted to make an account. I've really been enjoying what everyone has been saying because I totally agree- it's sad to see these relatable families/youtubers turn into these wealthy pseudo-celebrities, and then their personalities and content change dramatically.
I first watched her probably 2011-ish and found the original videos funny because it was such a subtle, snarky humor aimed primarily at the musical theatre community (I'm talking before the videos with the lipstick and all that). She was in a Seth Rudetsky video at one point if I remember correctly? Also at that point I believe the personal account and Miranda account were separate.
Even the family vlogs around Christmas were fun. I really liked the nativity Bailey voiceover video and loved the Toddlers & Tiaras spoofs. Just the goofing-off videos were and still are the funniest to me. (I did early on catch a dig at Trent by a certain family member that made me pretty uncomfortable, and apparently commenters noticed also, because she had to come back and make some rambling explanation in the video description.)
The last video I remember liking was the 'I Want It That Way' music video. Then things got weird and it turned into this super over-the-top exaggerated character, which I still can't figure out who or what she's trying to emulate, and I gave up after that. I remember the True Life episode and things started to become clearer, then came the divorce video years later. I just can't even bring myself to watch the videos anymore. The narcissism and fakeness are too much. So I read here instead.
A huge majority of these rabid supporters are kids. Which is where the $$$ aspect takes over I think. Most kids/tweens wouldn't find the ironic humor in those early videos as funny as the current Miranda character. Everything must be so exaggerated, and now that's all that's left, so she has to continue with this weird character which I, and most adults I presume, don't find funny at all (also I've never been okay with the whole 'weird-uncle' thing).
Anyway. That's my rant. Forgive the essay, it's just sad how much her content and general personality have changed over the years. Money/fame can break some people, and it's a shame. Just wanted to add in my two cents.

On one of Chris and Jessica's latest videos, maybe the one "Life with a Newborn" or something, Chris says about chores etc., "I do all the heavy lifting around here...I mean I am doing it all now because Jess's doc said she has to take it easy for 6 weeks." No,Chris, we KNOW who does all the housework every day. Also, I know lovely things can happen by accident, but maybe Chris and Jessica could have family planned a weensy bit better. If Chris' main paycheck is coming from that horror show HBO, maybe try to plan a pregnancy and recovery after the filming in Canada is over? And, the new house? Maybe plan that a little better too. DId anyone see that Jess said the utilities are being shut off in the old house in a couple weeks and Chris didn't know that?? I heard that too about the chores and how he quickly corrected himself and then she went into talking about how she can't lift anything. -Moms out there, I don't have kids and I know from seeing my sisters experience that lifting anything bigger than the baby after a c-section is not allowed, but is that true with a natural birth? She didn't have a c-section right? Also- "horror show" made me laugh 😂 I didnt have a C-section with my two daughters, and the Doctor told me no heavy lifting for 6 weeks. My daughter had a baby two years ago (not a C-section) and her doctor told her no heavy lifting for 6 weeks

I messed up the quote feature on my post somehow. It looks like AK713 wrote about having 2 kids and heavy lifting. It was me replying to AK713. I'm at work so I don't have time to fix it sorry.

Since when do women do heavy lifting anyway?
People are you forgetting this is Jess we are talking about. The ADULT who went to A&E because of some spilt tea on her fucking foot.

I actually took "heavy lifting" not just literally. I think Chris meant not lifting anything heavy for real, but also that he does the heavy lifting as far as house/kid work goes. I think that is why he corrected himself. I think Jessica wears the pants in that family.
And, yeah, I also thought the Hawaiian outfit thing was weird. LET PARKER KEEP HIS FAVORITE OUTFIT! Maybe he will grow out of it and not care, but then let HIM give it to the baby.
The Chris Ballingers have gotten under my skin lately. LOL.

In the case the perma-lazy messica munchausen, putting food on her kids plates is WAY tooooooo much heavy lifting - she has to spend 2 days on the sofa after making them a sandwich

Does anyone think it's possible that Colleen was a last minute addition to the mural? I keep thinking that her she might have found out about it and begged the school or raised hell that she should be included. Or maybe her parents did. I just feel like there has to be a reason that her portrait is the ONLY one that is one color, less detailed, and kind of crammed in there. It just doesn't look like the artist cared to spend time on her likeness. Maybe he had planned the others and the school came to him and said oh god we caught such hell from this family please just squeeze this girl in there and get them off our backs.
Just a wild theory but I could TOTALLY see it happening.

Nevermind that she's done that already in the last 6 months and it's a real dumb video idea, it's also disturbing that she thinks it's funny that she still can put children's clothes on as a 30 yr old woman. (No offense if anyone is a shorter or petite person- Colon isn't small though from the looks of photos. She seems to be taller)

I had a fairly easy labor and delivery, and I wasn't even allowed to drive my car for the first week after having marley, which I didn't understand. I could definitely see her doctor saying that.

There's something wrong with that girl, and I tend to try and not diagnose people through the internet but shit.......

Hi guys,
came over from the bakery, happy to be gossiping again!
anyways I wanted to say, does anyone else find it super unnecessary that Jessica bought three UD naked palettes in todays vlog? Like I get it was a special treat (that Chris didn't even know he was buying lmao) but for someone who seems to just do fairly basic makeup looks why does she need three palettes? She probably won't touch most of the shades and some of them repeat in the palettes... It just seems like an odd thing to splurge on when she could have got other makeup rather than just neutral eye shadows or even something not makeup related.

I have only one UD palette and I only touched half the colors... I can't imagine needing to buy three...

Just a wild theory but I could TOTALLY see it happening. I have also wondered if Colin was a last minute addition, for similar reasons, (its small, all one color). I think someone commented earlier that some art students helped the artist with the murals. Maybe a student came up with the idea for Colin to be included? Maybe the student or a group of students painted it and the artist squeezed it in? @tuskvegas, thanks for fixing my post earlier. I hope I didn't sound snotty when I said I was at work and didn't have time to fix it. (I read what I wrote, and it sounded snotty to me, Lol)

So Rachel gets on the slime train months late but calls it gak. She's so impressed with herself like the internet hasn't been doing this forever now. I also hate, HATE, her orgasm sounds she makes when she does a craft and it starts to work. It's the cringiest thing ever.

I swear to god if she actually bought little girl to try on for her stupid ass video. Like why try on more clothes?! It's not original nor funny nor entertaining. Is she just gonna repeat every video she has done in the last six months? Is HBO really sucking up your creativity Colleen cause I honestly think you have never had any. Season 2 of HBO is going to be such a bore and dud that I hope Netflix takes it off completely after month.

If Netflix cancelled Sense8 then there's no way in heck that HBO will get another season. I know so many people who were obsessed with Sense8.
I still can't believe they chose Colleen over Anthony Edwards for that mural.

Not sure, but it's only a few episodes. Low budget. Minimal acting required. I'm not that surprised.

Plus most of her time was editing last time Is she staying for edits this time? I know Chris was there a lot for that last year so I wonder if he's flying back for that this time. Also, I know she was ther through the summer because they "let her go home for her anniversary." Speaking of which, I clearly remember in one vlog last year she was complaining about having no time off "but she really loves her job" and she'd always say "oh but I get my anniversary" as though it would always slip her mine and she'd randomly remember. That was always odd to me.
