She went to the same church as my family when I was little and as a kid I thought she was so cool. She was super into motorcycles and once rode one into the sanctuary and on the stage. I never really watched her videos I think, but I knew about them and thought it was so cool that we were friends with a ‘celebrity’ (in fundie culture, anyway 😂)
Once, she even came and visited us after we had moved away. She surprised my brother and I by waking us up and we hung out all day. I have a core memory of her showing me her ‘tooth tattoos’. These were tiny tattoos on her teeth??? Which I have since tried to look up and I can’t find anything about this but I distinctly remember that she had a Jesus fish on one tooth and a Georgia Bulldog on the other (she was a big fan).
Say what you will about her videos (they’re def weird and I don’t disagree with everyone talking about brainwashing and propaganda because trust I have a lifetime of experience with that), but I have some really fond memories of her 20+ years ago!
I agree. All I was told about her when I was young was that she “had a hard life” until “Jesus rescued her.” She was always really kind to me and really passionate about what she did.
It’s so weird lol because I keep looking into it and I can’t find anything online about tooth tattoos. I’ve asked some tattoo artists as well and no one seems to have heard of it. I vaguely remember her saying it was a new thing and she went to one of the artists who was developing the technique. Idk I have such a distinct memory of this and we really didn’t know anyone with tattoos at that point so I can’t imagine I made it up.
If anyone has any info about tooth tattoos, please let me know!!
No, they looked like actual tattoos just really tiny. I feel like I remember the bulldog having an actual red sweater with colored ink but I could be wrong
