Kate and the kids' (working) fall photo shoot and more grifting

http://www.infdaily.com/2011/10/exclusive-pics-kate-gosselin-the-kids-pose-for-fall-family-portrait.html

Although the show is cancelled, Kate is still putting the kids to work--this time at elaborate professional photo shoots for her blog. The kids spent their Sunday last weekend going to church (allegedly) and then sitting for photos. Kate tweeted she was up at 7 a.m. that day and was moving "full force" all day.

Despite having just participated in what was surely an expensive photo shoot, Kate accepted another free cereal freebie today, even tweeting what kind of cereal she preferred, instead of asking the cereal company to please donate to those really in need.

In other news, Kate is slated to attend "Steve Irwin Day Gala Dinner" on November 12 in Brisbane, Australia, where "LUNCH WITH KATE GOSSELIN, STAR OF KATE PLUS 8 A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and 9 friends to dine with Kate Gosselin at the multi-award winning Chalk Hotel in Brisbane, plus a signed copy of her book" will be auctioned off.

I noticed she didn't address the fact that apparently one of her 11 year olds had to crammed in the little space between the seats and the trunk.

Photoshoot was stressful because Kate makes it stressful, just as she makes everything stressful.

If she's such a pro at being organized and managing her kids and as positive as she claims she should have no reason to take out her stress on her own children. Come off it already.

I realize children can be stressful but they react and behave to situations by watching you as a parent. If you remain frazzled and stressed out, then they pick up on that. It's not rocket science to figure out, "Oh, gee whatever is bothering me I should set aside right now." But no she couldn't possibly do that.

If she approached doing this photoshoot with that type of attitude she was doomed to be stressed from the get go here and it's really her own fault. There are ways to make family photograph sessions pleasant and non-stressful she just chooses to point out that SHE is always so stressed out. Kate you do it to yourself, why do you expect sympathy again?!?

Does she have to dress her kids alike? Honestly. We get it you have sextuplets and a set of twins. Ever heard of individuality? Guess not. I see no reason to continue doing this or to start it in the first place. Non-matching clothes look just as nice as long as they are decent to begin with. And can we talk boring colors? Fall isn't about grays and blues, nice try. It's about gold, brown, orange and yellow. Sure she wears orange but it only makes her stick out and look ridiculous really.

Dallas Lady said...

Wait a second, she bought all eight kids' outfits for the photo shoot one hour before the photo shoot?

Who does that? Unless it was a freebie offered to her all of a sudden.

And now we know why the girls look so miserable--they were having to follow their mom's nasty barked orders, grabbing clothes for the tups the entire time they were with her.

Tucker's Mom said...

Preesi has the EXIF photo info that says it was taken yesterday. How does she do this?!! Quite the sleuth!
What does it do for Kate to lie and say this was taken Sunday? Don't get it.

HollyMo said...

How can kHate and the twins be at Old Navy and at church all at the same time?
Can anyone answer that one? *crickets*

Why does she look so freakin weird in jeans? Arrgghh!

Laurie said...

Does it really matter when the pictures were taken Kate? You're still a bitch and a bad mother. Isn't it illegal to have two 11 year olds in one seat belted (or not) with one seat belt?

Aside from yelling at her kids for something completely stupid (um, hello, if you're so stressed you're yelling at your kids for no reason, maybe take out some of things that are adding stress to your life, like POINTLESS photo shoots!)...

We're supposed to believe she took them to church, made them lunch, watched them ride bikes, took the girls to Old Navy (she couldn't have done this earlier?!), prepared her house and 8 kids for a photo shoot, all within a few hours?

False. Untrue. Do not believe.

I'm not saying it can't be done, especially by anyone else but Kate. But NO WAY could Kate do even one of those tasks without falling down from exhaustion.

---------------------

Laurie - in case you missed my comment. Her car does have a backseat, if you want to call it that. A kid can sit there, although not comfortably, but an adult would have to be extracted with the Jaws of Life to get them out of there. It is not illegal to have a child sit back there.

Awesome sleuthing by Pressi omg. Kate is....a....liar. Of course she is.

Why does Kate lie? Why? Does she not understand it doesn't matter what date it happened it's not okay to treat your kids this way?

What about other photos she claimed were taken on a different day can we look at the data for those? This was a few weeks ago can't remember the photos though.

I was always suspicious of Kate claiming the photos were taken on a different day because, as a former journalist, we are taught to be extremely careful about dates. Even messing up a date can in certain circumstances be libelous and get you sued. It seems awfully sloppy of INF to keep messing up dates like this.

Now we know, it wasn't INF, it was just Kate lying.

Gimme said...

I kinda thought she was stretching it about church when she said always went but sometimes "forgot" to mention it. Okay. Was hair rolled at Old Navy? No way she got everybody including herself ready in 1 hour, unless she had tons of help. Deanna had to have been there to do her hair and makeup. Where is the fire? What's the hurry, you got all day. She does the same thing at National Monuments like her Rushmore and Philadelphia. Hurry along now, there's nothing to see here. We have to get back and stare at the walls. Like mother said she would lie when the truth would serve her better.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I'm sure others have seen professional photo shoots but we all know, some of us firsthand, photo shoots take HOURS. And hours, and hours. Especially with women and children.

One hour? Impossible.

The kids weren't with her. So she went to church, dropped the kids off at home, got in the Audi, went on Old Navy on a Sunday when it's busy, picked out nine outfits, got home, got all gussied up, drove everyone to Reading (Reading is not just around the corner) and still had light left for the photo shoot?

Kate, you lie.

Dallas Lady said...

Who cares when it was taken, Kate? Everytime you're around your kids, you're stressed and yelling at them. That's not good. Period.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Oh I remember now! She was complaining they got the date wrong when they took the Audi photos and everyone was asking her WTF is THIS! I think.

I've never seen someone miss the point so bad.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Has anyone told Kate yet Preesi caught her lie???

I want to see her breakdown.

Out And About In Berks County PA said...

I'm confused. The Old Navy where she shops is only 15 minutes from her home. Why couldn't she go to church, come home, take the twins for a fast shopping trip, come home and do a photo shoot? Could the nanny and Steve and hired help have been getting the little kids ready while Kate was shopping? I think I'm missing something.

Also, I don't understand the photo crediting/timing stamp that Preesi found. Is that when the photo was TAKEN, or when it was received by INF? Could the photo have been taken on Sunday, but not submitted and received until yesterday?

Laurie said...

Blowin' In The Wind - I did miss your comment and I stand corrected.

Professional photo shoots take forever, anyone who has seen one can attest to that. Even if the kids were all ready to go, Kate still needed hair-makeup. Kate said the photoshoot was only an hour from those photos. It's just impossible. Moreover, the photo timestamp reveals the photos were indeed taken yesterday.

No. The Exif is literally tattooed into the photo by the digital camera and has nothing to do with when you send it to whoever and everything to do with when you take the photo. I used to be really into photography though not so much anymore, but if I recall correctly, the only way to manipulate it is to actually download an editing program and change it, or change the date on your camera BEFORE you take the photo. A professional photographer selling photos to INF would have no reason to do that, he would want his photos to be as accurate as possible should he stumble upon some huge breaking news story. And, a good photographer guards the integrity of his photos, there is nothing in it for him to lie about when they were taken by trying to manipulate his camera's date/time.

Kate accused them of lying after they posted the photo. Why would they go in there ahead of time and go to that length of trouble to switch things around? Why wouldn't they just say the pics were taken Sunday, makes for a better story anyway. Come on, this is a blog that posts photos all day long! You're not that special, Kate!

So she didn't take her 8 to church with her?. I don't see why she would IF she went.

Additionally, there are seatbelts for the rear seats for at least the 2009 models and above (possibly earlier models too).

I haven't sat in an Audi TT coupe but I used to ride in my dad's old Porsche 911 when I was a kid. He was about Kate's height, 5' 6", so he adjusted the front seats forward so I could have legroom in the back (parents up-front). It was comfortable, not cramped for a kid (under 5 ft. tall). It did lack the normal thick cushion of a regular backseat for added comfort, but I didn't care about those things at that age. I would assume Kate's Audi is about the same, as I don't expect the twins to be served on a "golden-platter" in luxurious seats.

Blowin' In The Wind said...

I agree, Gossip. A kid can ride there for a trip around the neighborhood running errands and such, but I wouldn't make a child sit there for an extended period of time...certainly not for hours at a time. It is not only uncomfortable because of the lack of padding, but it's as bumpy as heck and claustrophobic back there!

Thanks for the memories! I had a Porsche 944 way back when, and I remember trying to convince my girlfriend that she'd love riding in that little rumble seat between the front seat and the rear hatch. She b**ched the whole time.

Thanks, Admin. I was a newspaper photographer/darkroom tech years and years ago before the age of digitals, so I had no idea how that works. So it's like a time stamp that is permanently embedded into the photo at the time the photo is taken, and has nothing to do when INF received the photos. Why in the heck would Kate lie about that, knowing that there are ways in which she could get caught in her lie?

Here's the thing, though. If those photos were taken yesterday, they would have been taken after the girls got home from school - around 5:30 - 6 p.m. (allowing for travel time to the store, and then shopping). It's nearly dark here at that time, and those photos do not look like they were taken at dusk.

And time to change out of their uniforms into other clothes.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

New post up I posted this there but if Kate picked up just the twins from school wouldn't that have been much earlier in the day? That makes sense to me. Plus the shadows are long, which suggests mid-afternoon. It makes sense to me if she picked them up from school and let the other kids get on the bus and go home to the nanny.

It is remotely possible the exif could have been edited but I don't know why they would bother.

-----------------------

Why would she drive an hour to pick up the kids at school, another hour home, and let the others ride home on the bus? They'd still get home around between 4 p.m. and 4:30, regardless if she picked them up or if they rode the bus.

Yesterday was not Lower School dress-down day, so if they were picked up at school, they would have been wearing uniforms in the photo, which they are not. If the photo was taken yesterday, why would they go home to change first, instead of going shopping in their khakis? None of it makes any sense.

I'm not convinced Kate is lying on this one.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

To believe Kate is not lying is to believe that the photographer MUST HAVE changed his Exif data. Why? Why would he do that? Why would he bother? Why would he ever in a million years think someone would bother looking at that? That makes even less sense. And what is the motive to change the data? Why not just say these photos were taken Sunday? Also, look at the long shadows, evidence of late in the day.

In any case whatever if Kate is lying or not, doesn't change the fact that she's taking out her stress on her children per her own admission. I care way more about that.

To do something nice for the twins, a quiet afternoon with just mommy in mommy's fun car? This is what a normal mother might do now and again with a lot of kids. But this is Kate, so it does become harder to believe.

Am I the only one that finds Preesi's sight hard to follow? She's got good stuff, it's just hard to find.

Now that Brownie is gone, I think that the one sheeple I'd put at the head of the creepy/scary list, and the one I'd watch out for is this one:

miloandjack

==================

If I were Kate, I wouldn't even throw a crumb her way. It goes on and on and on...

Bosom Buddies said...

Have the sheeple ever offered any explanation of Kate's new "girls," and how can she look like this in this episode:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfzvr4kU-lk

at the 4:28 mark...

and then this:

http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/06/25/kate-gosselin-blue-bikini/


Put those photos side by side! No bra could ever do that. If it did, Kate could make enough money to see those kids through high school by just endorsing the product!

Time & Memories said...

A copy of her book will be auctioned off? I wonder who walks away with the profits from that? Will she donate it to charity? HA! I suppose since she is unemployed and has 8 (count 'em 8) children, she'll keep the profits for herself.

She just needs to GO AWAY. We need to stop commenting on her. Blogs, tweets, etc. Maybe if we all stop talking about her, she'll just fade away into obscurity. We can only hope.

@P J'S momma
you bitch! its for a charity event that shes going to and steve irwin is dead! you have such a nerve to go on about a person that you dont even know! you people need to GROW UP and be more like adults and respect people for how they raise their kids!
