"Bulging Brides"...ah, reality tv loves to steal our moves...
And then demonize us when it's convenient. >:(
From one of my favorite sites I visit daily:
http://feministing.com/archives/009011.html#comments
Don't even get me started about the show's subject matter itself...And mind the comments, some of them are enraging themselves.

Re: "Bulging Brides"...ah, reality tv loves to steal our moves...
What an awful way to start off!
Yeah, get a dress two sizes too small and try to fit into it... for your wedding to someone you don't really love but want to marry anyway! :P

I call this the fat-schmuck-hot-wife phenomenon.

^^^^which leaves the average strip club customer thinking they are entitled to have us fall all over ourselves for free to give them extras.

1. They're not fat.
2. Who teaches pole dancing to people in PANTS.
3. They learn QUICKLY!

Also.. when I went wedding dress shopping the dress I wanted was too small and the woman said 'get lipo'...wtf.. so I got a size bigger and the breasts were too large and she was all 'you can get implants'.
I have to change MY body around a DRESS?! fuck you.

I think its funny that they think going to that class is enough to erase all the calories she ate and drank the night before. Maybe a cardio kickboxing class would do it, but the strip class looked like a lazy workout.
(And no, that chick doesn't need to lose any weight. She looks fine.)

Re: "Bulging Brides"...ah, reality tv loves to steal our moves...
I am sooo glad I don't have tv anymore. It makes me crazy!
Yes and yes, these shows continue to perpetuate these absurd roles for women as if feminism never existed. They say things like, "embrace and love yourself" but in the same breath, "do everything in your power to compete with other women and please your fat asshole husband."
I know this is a tired and obvious subject, but it still seems like we are going backwards! All this stuff just goes on and on and gets drilled in our heads to the point that we don't even realize it or know what we believe anymore.
What is frustrating is this "normalization" of stripping in the media that has happened in the past few years (I know, a tired subject as well..). It's ok to learn how to do it so you can be sexy for "your man" but these same women are looking down their noses at people who do it for a living.
To add to the topic--what's up with the PEC Striptease lessons--http://http://www.penthouseexecutive...om/striptease/ . Does anyone on the board teach those and what kind of women are taking these lessons?

Hell, yeah. Exactly why I never, ever want a capital-W wedding. I just can't imagine, honestly. All this planning and money goes into this weird event that's not really about you and your partners and the mutual love you have, and all about what color of ribbon goes on the whatnot. Graceland Chapel, here I come!
P.S. That girl is NOT fat. There is nothing wrong with her. She has a lovely face and a juicy rear. WTF.
