BRIDES.
bought the First Weddingy Mag a day or two ago in the checkout line at the grocery store and have been randomly flipping through it. and it's not utterly heinous, but it's doing what i wanted it to do, which is, remind me of all the crap i don't want to have going on, and why i don't need all this extra bullshit. even if it ought to, by rights, be utterly heinous (BRIDES? come on). and some of the advice is level-headed and reasonable (placate the Very Religious Parent with a unitarian minister; carry band-aids and bobby pins; they can't see your shoes), even if some of it is not (save money on favors by hand-wrapping your 300 home-made extremely complicated, yet ugly and useless, objects; color-coordinate your guestbook and reception hall curtains by buying extra bridesmaid dresses to use the fabric). but something i hadn't noticed about them before is that all the wedding dress advertisements look like porn stars. which wouldn't be something i'd thought an average bride would be going for, and certainly an average mainstream BRIDES-reading bride would be going for. i mean, these aren't perfume ads, people.
