S*X and the Wedding

The new issue of Vogue, June 2008, has (who else) Sarah Jessica Parker on the cover. Inside the pages beyond the fabulously photographed piece with Carrie and Big----- you will find a very interesting section. It's toward the back........

The Vogue Wedding Index Guide, "Marry, Marry. Quite Contrary". Over the top (for the most part) ideas for weddings a la Carrie Bradford of Sex in the City. A lavish three page spread of 20 wedding ideas.

From #1, a pale pink gown from Christian Lacroix Haute-Couture and dripping with pearls and long black gloves------ to #15, monogrammed surfboards apparently a perfect gift for the bride and groom that have everything. They're priced at $1,571, more than likely a great bargain!

Even with the outrageous (here in St. Louis anyway, outrageous by modest midwest standards) I urge brides to pick up this issue------ surely there are some wonderful ideas to be incorporated into a wedding, and lovely eye candy in any event! The gorgeous mis-matched place settings, the yummy lingerie, the jewels, even the intriguing wedding invitations--- lots of fun to look at!

Me? I'm holding out for the Manolo Blahnik stilettos, eight miles high and embellished with rooster feathers!

We are looking forward to the wedding tomorrow of a really great couple, Melisa and Jeromy. In fact, we've been waiting for this one----- and can't wait to be part of their celebration. Woo Hoo!
Melisa, I'm doing the good weather dance for you!

I close with a sad note. Not the death of funny-man Harvey Korman, although he will be missed. No.............. from the pages of June Vogue, this fall will see the return of the 80's banana shaped pant leg. It wasn't a flattering look then, much less now, eeeek. That narrow at the calf and bloomy through the hips silhouette really only looks good if you are young and beensy.

For the rest of us................. is the "hot light" on?
