Being a Bridesmaid

What is more humiliating than spending thousands of dollars on crap you don’t want or enjoy and then parading around in an unflattering dress and hairstyle for a friend you no longer stay in touch with?

Buying “chicken cutlet” inserts for your bra.

I was hoping to balance out my dress’s multi-layered ability to make me look like I have gigantic hips by adding some gigantic boobs. It didn’t really work. (But Re-Boyfriend appeared to get an erection when I tried on the chicken cutlets which is either pretty cool or insulting.)

So this weekend I will be (ostensibly) standing before God in fake, pushed up cleavage as I "bear witness" (or something) with S. to our friend's confusing union with a man who lives in what he calls "God's Country" and I call "bumblefuck".

Maybe it will not be that bad.

When I got the cutlets, they called them cookies! Cookies! Hahaha... I had monster ta-tas but I didn't have to worry about popping out.

Enjoy the cutlets. Maybe you can make a meal with 'em after! Like nuggets...

My bridesmaids wore mint green skirt suits that I convinced myself they could wear again... (NOT!!!)


After that I was asked to be a bridesmaid three times! One time, I refused, because the marriage was a disastrous scenario (and they split up within 3 months), the other two, they both chose the same, most ridiculous (to me, I guess) floral gown that completely conflicted with the boycut I wore at the time!!! Its a style I still hate today (though my hair is longer and I've become a more balanced tomboy/girly-girl...) Imagine having to buy the same fracking dress twice in different colors!!! Brides-to-be: lets be honest... either discuss options with your bridesmaids and get a consensus or PAY THE HECK FOR THE NIGHTMARES YOU EXPECT THEM TO WEAR!!!!

CB - hope it goes well - I'm sure you'll carry it off - or bring us great stories regardless!!!

Why is it women stoop to such means to improve their appearance? Isn't that why God created plastic surgery?

Grant Miller said...

Weird. I will be wearing fake, pushed up cleavage this weekend, too. But for entirely different reasons.

God's own country - Kerala?

Sudha said...

I used to read your blog before you made it the "invite only" type. I checked it today again ( to see if its still invite only, ofcourse) and found much to my delight, that it isn't!
