Honest to God, if they have to be this sneaky to get home then they know they've done/are doing something dodgy that will get them backlash. And we know how well they take criticism, even if it's constructive and valid. I'm convinced that they are keeping everything offline so that there is no proof/paper trail of them acting the maggot to get back to the States. I wouldn't put it passed them to have done something really sneaky- I mean they're not beyond the support animal/sneaky foxes to the core. But when it comes to their new visa application they wont want real proof- like y'know, endangering lives by ignoring presidential proclamations and CDC advice. Unlike Lorna who has excellent academic qualifications and a secure long term job, the dream team are 'working' in a vague (hopefully dying out) industry. There is a digital trail of them being at home for a longer than average holiday period- but there might be some concessions made for people because of Covid. They have been living in America for years now- definitely long enough for Green Card. But I don't think they'd get away with flaunting being dodgy as duck, while looking like butter wouldn't melt if anyone investigated their social media platforms. What's the bet that the new video she's editing has not comments allowed and same on her Instagram.
I do wonder if this trip home was to see if they liked it, rather than just honoring Mammy wanting them home for Christmas. Like the lads have stable jobs, so it wouldn't make as much sense for them to come home and Tommy obviously couldn't get home. The girls could have come home, sussed out whether they'd live here again/could they get popular. Like they seemed to know that they would be here until at least Biden's inauguration.. A test run that showed them who the queen bee's are here. I think Erika might have got a couple more followers, but Kaelin didn't suddenly become an independent star- if anything we've all realised just how bland it all is. She would be far better off getting into the fashion industry if that's what she wants by doing internships and stuff part-time. Build up an independent CV and get out of Erika's shadow.
There is so much potential in Retroflame... proper New York blog by the Irish sisters living the dream. I mean they do live in fab apartments and swing out of the labels. All they need is someone else to come up with the concepts/star in the videos!! AH imagine the cast of Derry Girls living it up in New York- now that I'd watch religiously.
