i hate what they dress the girls in a lot of the time especially the identical outfits (pet hate of mine). the dress with tights and trainers combo is awful!
The lack of attention to their hair makes them look a little scruffy ..they also dont seem to acknowledge that Lottie has naturally wavy hair which needs different treatment the twins poker straight hair.
it doesn't help that Lottie is so malnourished that her hair is visibly so thin and fragile, with broken ends. her hair has never grown as thick or long as the twins' - but as you say, Char is so intent on the triplets "matching" and combined with her laziness in terms of bothering to put a few seconds of her time into looking for tips on how to care for Lottie's wavy hair, instead of her own and the twins' straight hair, it's in awful condition and always appears straggly and uncared for - mainly because it is! she obviously uses the same shampoo and products on Lottie's hair as she does the twins, and the way she brushes all the gels' hair so fiercely and scrapes it so tightly back into ponytails - often while still wet
- that are so tight they appear painful isn't going to help the condition of their hair, and will eventually destroy their natural hairline - especially for poor Lottie when her hair is so fragile, it's going to seriously damage her hair and cause unnecessary breakage.
i'm surprised she's actually allowed the gels leave the house with different hairstyles - especially the twins! Alex and Char have always been so focused on ensuring that A and F look identical, yet recently it is becoming far easier to tell them apart. Florence has always been slightly taller, but the difference in height is becoming more noticeable - plus the difference in their face shapes etc, which is even more noticeable when they smile. as they become less identical and grow as individuals, you'd think that Char would be even more desperate to push the forced "matching" - it's actually nice to see Florence being allowed to wear her hair in a ponytail while Annabella's is down.
as always though, the photos of Lottie are heartbreaking. her scruffy appearance isn't helped by the fact that her clothes are always far too big for her tiny frame, visibly hanging off her as Char has obvs bought the outfits in matching sizes, despite Lottie being so much smaller than the twins.and recently, her little face seems constantly covered in bruises and scabs - i appreciate that her body being malnourished means that wounds will heal more slowly, but i'm pretty sure the marks on her face are often a result of the twins being so rough with her whne they're playing - like the time Alex happily allowed them to swing her upside down, when she is obviously more fragile than the average child, due to her low weight etc - far more susceptible to bruising and broken bones, and if Alex and Char refuse to address her low weight, lack of nutrition and visibly deteriorating state of health, i wish they would at least be more cautious of allowing the other kids to be so rough with her. i would also be concerned about her complexion, which appears more yellow-tinged in every photo.
