That's pretty much what I was thinking. Especially since my girls all have very different shapes and skin tones so this way they could all find something flattering so they may actually want to wear it again.

Being in a pageant would be fun or writing some more blog entries. Either delightful and fun.

I think telling them what you want to see them in and letting them choose is appropriate. That way they can spend what they can afford to, because they have to get a wedding gift, too, ya know?

I also think it's 100% ok to ask for a picture so you can pre-approve it. I think it's a good way of letting your wedding be your wedding without being a crazy rabid bride.

G.NET. I have to go to Benidorm tomorrow for a hen party. It will involve travelling and staying wth 15 other women, most of which are late 30's - middle aged rabid drinkers who like gold jewellery, soap operas and finding a young man to grab at.

I may not survive this, so I say to you G.NET.....I love you all!

That does sound like a pretty nice balance between my inner control freak and not wanting to be a strain on my bridesmaids, thanks.

Me and my friends got really high last night, and decided to go to the local walmart. Well I don't know how, but we ended up walking out with a big ass birthday cake. It tasted amazing.

I recommend tonsillitis (or whatever its called) that includes a bleeding throat. All in all I coughed up somewhere around two pints of blood. Fortunately it stopped there -- had it continued a trip to the emergency room was next on the list.

So. Why do I now regret not taking pictures om myself, mouth overflowing with foaming fresh dark red blood? I may need a psychiatrist.

But first, to sleep. Bleeding leaves one ever so tired.

Not to be squeamish. I still think it would have made nice pictures. And that it was an experience. And that its a good thing I didn't actually have to drive to the er.

And I do think this is the correct thread for this kind of incoherent ramblings, yes.

This is exactly the right thread for it. It's all been a bit disconcerting, but you've posted it in the right place. If you'd have included a tinge more "whoa is me" you could have posted it in whining, but here is fine.

Woot the save the dates are out, only 2 weeks later than I wanted. Other than that I'm actually ahead of schedule, which is good cuz I move at the end of May so chances are I'm not going to get much more done until after the move.

I don't really like Jin anymore than I like anyone else here, but do you honestly think this is clever? For real, comments like this really scream "I'm attempting to be 'the bitch' but don't have the mental horsepower."

Honestly Jin is growing on me, I know she is an ignorant attention whore but so are a lot of the other people on here, she just kind of let all the crazy show from the beginning.

I have survived Lloret de mar. The people in the hotel however may not have survived the sight of my wig. I looked like a cross beween Lily Savage and a bleached Amy Winehouse. In a shortish black dress and dark green tights.

I managed to really alarm 4 old Spanish people in a lift. They obviously weren't expecting to be confronted with the sight of a 6'8 (ish) drag queen looking large woman in a huge wig ! I wish to god I'd taken a picture of their faces when the doors opened . It was bloody priceless. I still got in the lift though! They were all laughing and talking to me, and though I don't speak or understand a word of Spanish I'm fairly certain the jist of it was " bloody hell that's a massive hairdo, you're about 20 feet tall "

Mission accomplished.
