PSA: “Hate” is used in the most loving, sibling-rivalry, eye-rolling,
couldn’t-live-without-you way possible. Mary, if you’re reading this… hi. 👋
Live updates
What Is Mary Currently Doing?
Status
Making an entrance.
The origin story
Who Is Mary?
Mary is my sister. My annoying, talented, lovable, absolutely-insufferable sister.
She has a flair for the dramatic — which, as you’re about to see in the videos below,
is not exactly an understatement.
This site was created with equal parts affection and brotherly mischief. It is a monument
to the eternal truth that siblings who “hate” each other the most are usually the ones
who’d move mountains for each other. Don’t tell her I said that.
The evidence
Mary In The Wild
Caught on camera. Five times. Presented here for posterity, family reunions, and light blackmail.
Chapter 1
The Acting Career Begins
Every great star has an origin story. Here’s where Mary’s acting career
got its first taste of the spotlight. Spielberg has yet to call. We’re sure it’s a scheduling thing.
Chapter 2
The American Idol Audition
When Mary set her sights on American Idol, she didn’t hold back.
Whatever happened, she has more courage than most people will ever have.
Also more confidence. Definitely more confidence.
Chapter 3
A Message To Her Future Kids
From the archives: young Mary, on camera, with a message for her future children.
Kids, your mom was always like this. This is not a phase. You were warned.
Chapter 4
For Dad
This slideshow was shown at Mary’s wedding reception in 2011 — a tribute to her father,
who passed away in 2005 and wasn’t there to walk her down the aisle. He shaped who she is,
and his presence was felt in every moment of that day. ❤️
Chapter 5
Mary & Mike
The wedding reception slideshow for Mary and her husband Mike Ross. Two people who somehow found
each other, which means Mike knew exactly what he was signing up for. We respect the commitment.
Truly. Best of luck, Mike.
A comprehensive list
Reasons To “Hate” Mary
All 100% accurate. Definitely not secretly compliments.
01
She’s annoyingly talented and somehow makes everything look easy.
(It’s not fair.)
02
She actually tried out for American Idol. What kind of courage is that?
(Infuriating. Inspiring. Both.)
03
She has relentlessly pursued an acting career and refused to give up.
(Deeply annoying role model behavior.)
04
She is always, somehow, in a good mood. Absolutely unbearable.
(Please explain how.)
05
She is my sister and I am legally required to tease her forever.
(It’s in the sibling contract.)
06
Deep down, she is one of the best people I know. Don’t tell her.
(Seriously. She cannot know.)
Hard data

(out of love. obviously.)
The photo evidence
A Documented History
Years of photographic proof that Mary is a lot. We mean that with love. Mostly.
The Inside Voice
Mary’s “indoor voice” has never been located. The search is ongoing. Authorities are not optimistic.
Exhibit A
Presenting evidence in her ongoing personal injury case against… something. We stopped asking questions.
Haute Couture
Mary invented a new hat. Fashion Week has yet to return her calls. Their loss, frankly.
The Look™
The face she makes when someone orders the last piece of something she wanted. Pure, focused menace.
0.3 Seconds Before Impact
Captured approximately 0.3 seconds before she said something that made everyone spit out their drinks.
The Rare Normal Photo
One of Mary’s two (2) normal-looking photos in existence. You are looking at it. The other one may be a myth.
The Pineapple Incident
Mary received a pineapple as a gift. She immediately placed it on her head. No explanation was offered or requested.
The Red-Eye
The camera’s red-eye reduction feature met its greatest challenge and did not survive. The name tag says “Elizabeth.” It’s complicated.
Totally Fine
Mary’s “I’m fine” face. She is not fine. Nobody in the room was fine. The room itself was not fine.
Main Character Energy
Every room. Every event. Mary arrives and immediately becomes the main character. Her sister Trish, behind her, has already figured this out.
Finally, A Date Who Listens
Mary found a man who couldn’t walk away. He’s cardboard. Elvis. Still counts. She looked very happy about it.
Dream Destination
Mary standing in front of “Booger Hollow Double Decker Outhouse.” This is a real place she sought out. On purpose. Voluntarily.
Population: Now 8
Booger Hollow, AR. Pop. 7, countin’ one coon dog. Mary fit right in. The dog liked her best. She was very proud of this.
Rules Are Suggestions
Mary saw “Restricted Area — Keep Out.” She did a cartwheel. Next to a barbed wire fence. In front of a Popeye water tower. We just watch now.
Superwoman
Mary at Cadillac Ranch, standing in front of the Superman symbol. She absolutely planned this shot. Don’t bring it up; she’ll talk for an hour.
Mysteriously Mary
Mary attempting to look mysterious and aloof. This expression lasted approximately 0.2 seconds before she started talking.
No Survivors
Mary and a piece of watermelon. The watermelon did not make it. Mary had zero regrets. Witnesses were impressed.
Deep In Thought
Mary’s “I am definitely not about to say something chaotic” pose. Spoiler: she said something chaotic. The hat did not help.
