I bought the purple Smilie It's coming tomorrow! MOA has a green one with black stripes. I called all of the other expresses in my area, and they didn't have it. I'm going to get the green/black one during lunch Smilie

Also, I bought another groupon for laser hair removal. The first one I bought was a total disaster and didn't do anything. I bought another figuring groupon has a good return policy, so why not...

Anyway, last week, they canceled my appointment because their machine broke. Today, I went in, and they told me that the old machines wouldn't work on my hair BUT they ordered a new one that worked with radio waves. They bought it specifically for blondes/redheads! Thus, there's hope! If anyone has really light body hair like me, it's definitely worth asking the company if they have this new machine.

Well, I'll let you know how it goes in a month Smilie

It is pretty. How is it sticking out?

They have it in orange now. It's pretty too!
let me see if i can describe... hmmm. you know how there is elastic on top and on the waist part? so between the top and waist area, there's extra fabric from the bunching of the elastic... and the zipper in that area just sort of sticks out bc it's more stiff than the rest of the fabric. i actually don't know how to avoid that in a dress of this type, but i looked back at ur pic and it doesn't seem to happen to you! it's probably bc i need a 4 for it to drape better/properly, idk. i might go to express today so i will try the 4 if i do. i really like the blue floral combo - it's so bright and perfect for spring! i would wear it for engagement photos if i can get the sizing right.
Quote from PordaPoddy :
Yeah... well remember, this is the chick that didn't have any friends... 2 are fiancee's friends, 1 is sister, 1 is the friend. After 2 jobs and a sorority, she's got 1 friend??? Then the one BM walked out! There was some pity going on here Coverlaugh Besides, DH is in it too- so at least this way I'd have something to do while they fuss around...

Pretty much what 3 out of the 4 BM's are thinking... but for whatever reason Bride & sister-zilla are very focused on that. Yes, she's def. interested in shoe shots, but I think the one on her list is where her shoes match the GM's socks? So if we can't have color shoes and bring the bridal party together with it - why would you even bother with the GM's socks then... and how would you get the groom in socks the color he detests (the accent color)? So now she's looking at all other shades of the rainbow for her to salvage a sock shot. It now has nothing to do with the wedding color, theme or anything, it's just some picture she's obsessed with. I asked if we could do color shoes - Nope. We're all black. The guys are gray suits. At least it looks like how it feels...someone's funeral.

Maybe it's just a sandal? Attachment 1204024

I got us on the identical shoe page now... she's about to pull the trigger even though her sister hates it. I actually already have the exact shoe in another color and I'm about to take a pic and show her that my arches are so high, they pop out of this shoe too Evil Maybe then I can wear my fUGG boots and call it a day? Oooor we can go back to sandals, which was the first option, oddly enough. Are my feet not uglier in sandals- how did we start there? Confused3
PS- thank you so much for the help, Heels.com was new to me as was the other one!
yeah, you know, b*tches tend to have a hard time getting along with girls... really sounds like that's this girl's problem. there's a little thing called 'compromise'... apparently her parents never taught her about it. shake head
you guys are nice people for putting up with that sh*t. i just feel like, if i were a perfectionist obsessing about photos and how things would look, i would NOT want a big group of pissed off bridesmaids - sure, you can control their clothes and shoes (and it looks like she's controlling hair too!), but you CANNOT control their faces and more importantly, their expressions. i went into it knowing that i wanted happy bridesmaids - 1 is a generally happy person who doesn't care about anything, but i decided on a tank dress for her (i chose it so she can hopefully wear her nursing bra - it'll be about 6 months by then so i don't know if she'll still be nursing but i thought i'd be nice just in case) - i preferred them all in strapless, but i gave her a choice of a strapless and the tank and she chose the tank. i know she would have worn the strapless if i had not given her the choice - she said she'd wear anything. but at the end of the day, i'd rather she be comfortable because she will be happier that way, and generally unhappiness shows through in photos.
your bride's photos are going to SUCK, because half of you are so unhappy in your jobs! laugh out loud i'll bet she never thought about that!

Porda, I think I would be getting some blonde highlights in my brown hair a few days before the wedding if I was you Evillaugh!
awesome. i second this motion.

It's great to have the support girls :group hug:, but I don't want to clog the thread so I'll keep my future responses to a minimum, should be easier now that ya'll know the backstory. 4 ... more... months!! :facep alm:

... but my hair naturally gets lighter over the summer Evil
when is this disaster happening? august or sept?
Quote from PordaPoddy :
Hahah my mini-soap opera for your pleasure ? :t vhappy: How's this for intrigue....
You know how she was so hard up to find BM's? Well... the bride's sister is in the wedding, but the groom's sister is NOT...
Furthermore, she has the exact attributes the Twisted Sisters wanted.
So whaaaaaaat happened there????? : eek: (cue dramatic music)

(Added twist: Groom's sister is a really nice girl, and they're on good terms. ---> I can't figure it out.) Stay tuned... I may ask soon! :l ol:
maybe she can be your replacement, or maybe she turned down the job! laugh out loud

Express Next also gives 1,000 bonus points for buying stuff in store apparently! When you get to A-list, does that automatically mean that you get free shipping on any purchase? Or do you also need a credit card?

I can see that, because the zipper is stiffer than the fabric. I saw that when I tried this tube top [express.com]. Such a pretty top and price is reasonable for the uniqueness. Sadly, the fit is off.
