“Who actually dresses up for a grocery run?”
While celebrity moms often claim to be just like us, their social media portrayals can be hard to believe. They share glimpses of their lives, showcasing imperfections like stretch marks and bare faces, only to later appear in flawless outfits with perfect hair and makeup while doing everyday tasks. Enter Lisa Harper, a mother of four and comedian, who uses her wit to highlight the absurdity of these glamorous representations.
Lisa, much like the rest of us, recognizes that the rich and famous have access to resources that ordinary parents do not—nannies, personal chefs, and professional stylists. “I kept scrolling through celebrity photos and thought it would be hilarious to juxtapose a typical mom with a celebrity mom,” she explains. Her side-by-side photo collages are a comedic take on the extravagant lifestyles of the elite, and they capture the essence of real motherhood in a light-hearted manner.
With a growing following on Instagram, her posts are sure to entertain. One particular collage humorously contrasts her grocery run attire against the high-fashion looks of stars like Gigi Hadid. “It’s easy to feel inadequate when comparing yourself to a glamorous celebrity,” Lisa notes. “These kids have transformed my body, and my hair? Let’s just say it’s no longer red-carpet ready. My posts are all about embracing the chaos and laughing at the unrealistic standards set by edited images.”
In one of her recreations, she mocks Mariah Carey’s impractical workout outfit, turning a mundane grocery shopping trip into a runway moment. “I strapped my baby into a carrier and took my other kids along for the ride, making sure to capture the moment. I’ve been doing these recreations ever since,” Lisa shares.
Lisa curates her content by searching for outlandish celebrity photos or by taking suggestions from her fans. “The more outrageous the photo, the better,” she says. With her growing audience of 12,000 followers on social media, she also hosts a podcast about parenting humor and shares insights on her website, which is a treasure trove of relatable content.
Here she is, enjoying life in a kiddie pool—because why not? We hope she continues to share her delightful parodies, as they provide a refreshing dose of reality amidst the glam.
