QUOTE(husbandoftheyear @ Aug 29 2006, 02:27 PM) [snapback]148771[/snapback] You need to do some more digging in the posts...but I'll give you a heads up. Dan knew Brandi years...and years...and years before. Only after getting Brandi groomed - you know - new style of hair, clothing, makeup - was she put in the spotlight. -------------------- TTFN

No - let me rephrase - Brandi was - how should I say it - less than what many would accept a modest lady married to Dan Shelton to look like. So, months before they were married, Brandi got a makeover - you know- to look more of the part. One could say she was whipped into shape.

I may have missed a step or two but she basically started out in the Call Center and was moved to the reception desk which was even shorter than her time at the Call Center. Then worked in Production for about a week and then disappeared - but I bet she still draws a weekly salary - just like Melody... -------------------- "The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple."

HOTY, some very nice women, just want a man.....and yes they do get caught up and don't make the best choices. Now, this may also account for one of the reasons Danny is insisting on pushing th adultery thing with Linda. You are not the first person who has said this about Brandy.

I don't think she realized what she was getting into. Of her faults - naitivity is probably numero uno. Now that I have more experience in life, I tend to suspect something not quite right in the family history ... possibly even molestation ... and that reminds me ... I still vividly remember a seminar in which a former victim of abuse was the featured speaker. Her chief point was that abusers know who to pick as victims. She used to draw abusers like a magnet, and she shared how it was still hard for her to speak in front of people. She had had to reinvent herself, learning how to walk differently, carry herself differently, look people in the eye, etc. Without such "reinvention," those who have been abused by one lover/husband, will likely be abused by the next one, because they will draw the wrong men. And I suspect that most of you who are a little older have actually observed such a pattern ... HOTY's comment that naivete is probably Brandy's chief fault seems to indicate that she may be a "pleaser" (i.e. is "nice" to everyone and wants to make everyone happy/think well of her) and an abuser would see her as a suitable subject ... I also wonder whether Linda was originally a bit of a "pleaser" but developed into a mature woman with a mind of her own ... Just musings ... |

I understand, completely.
QUOTE(inga @ Aug 29 2006, 06:52 PM) [snapback]148815[/snapback] From what I've read about Brandy, I imagine her fitting the profile of a young woman I knew in my youth. She was fairly attractive, dressed provocatively, was nearly always surrounded by men, but was always sweet and nice to the girls as well as the boys, even though the girls looked at her a little askance. She always spoke very softly, fluttered her eye lashes a lot, no matter who she was talking to. ... I think she was looking for love but didn't know how to connect in a meaningful way with the girls. She also seemed naive. I have no idea what happened to her, but I can imagine her finding "love" with the wrong men. Seeing that Brandy was already divorced twice, that may be her story ...

But you definitely have a point. Brandy definitely fits into the pleaser category. It's difficult to say, and I may get some negative feedback, but she really seems genuine.

There's no reason Brandy should not be genuine -- even after two divorces. Let's assume that she knew she was getting involved with a married man--something we do not know. In that case, she would be meeting his needs, as far as she felt -- needs his wife could not fulfill. (Poor Danny!  ) I think you probably know the spiel ... Women who do not have a good foundation of a strong sense of self do not have the tools to cope with men like Danny. |
