Hot and Cold

Last weekend, Katy Perry celebrated her Bachelorette Party in Las Vegas.

Apparently, Rihanna organized it.

Apparently, they're all sorts of BFF.

((groan))

I know.

What is the point of Katy Perry?

And does anyone actually *like* Rihanna?

Is Rihanna her MOH?

Who knows.

But I'm actually gonna have to give them some credit...

First, here they (along with other guests/friends/bridal party/whatever) are at some Cirque du Soleil show. Why is Rihanna the one in white? Even if it's not the day of the wedding, and maybe Katy Perry even gave her the "OK", it's still kind of a dick move, non? Anyways, Katy Perry looked nice in a dress that is typically "Katy Perry" and her little veil/top hat thingie is super cute (although I cannot endorse the purple and pink hair). So, ok. Fine.

The next day, the BFFs (and other guests/friends/bridal party/whatever) hit up some pool. Katy Perry was (thankfully) the only one in white. And her little tulle train/butt veil is kinda cute. Again - ok. Fine.

Lastly, I have my (and their) pièce de résistance:

bwahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha

While the giant penis is kind of predictable, the message is solid gold.

I'm not sure who came up with this - KP? Rihanna? Either one's assistant? Ordinary-person bridal party member?

Regardless, I will officially award them all - collectively - 2 points.

Not bad.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

We've all seen them: the drunken and barefoot team of matching pink t-shirts struggling to run through the red light at 2am. They are spearheaded by the lady labelled "Maid of Honour." Close behind her are others with "bridesmaid" stamped across their backs. Successfully across the street, their counterpart in white, a fuchsia "BRIDE" spanning her chest, chiffon veil stuck flat to her sweaty hair, awaits her most prized crew of friends for more shot-taking, sharpie-scrawling, random-stranger-photographing fun.

Oh, how we LOVE a good bachelorette party ...

Personally, I'm all about the debauchery. What's a girls' night out without the next-day's promised embarrassment? A ladies' night out.


Oy.

Am I the only one to lament the return of "sophisticated" doe parties? What's with all these small groups of women dressed tastefully in their hottest LBD and deadliest pumps? Re-wearable matching headbands? A bride distinguished not by a tacky piece of fabric flowing from her forehead (or by the token piece of male anatomy showcased somewhere near her face)


but by a cute headpiece and trendy pearls?


Come on.

24-size font on ill-fitting cotton across the boobs replaced with 14-size embroidery on lace intimates?



Whaaaaaaaaa?

This is NOT what Cyndi Lauper had in mind, I'm sure.

Real Subtle

Penis Veil.

Well, what else am I supposed to call it? That's basically what it is. A veil. With a bunch of (caucasian) penises attached to it.

For a bachelorette? Oh. How creative of you.

Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with penis paraphernalia at a bachelorette party. But, can you at least try to be a little more inventive and innovative with it?

This just seems lazy. And poorly executed.

Is it written in the stars?

Bachelorette parties.
They can be fun.
They can be disasters.
They can be delicious, sinful, wholesome, or
*other*

but should they go zodiac?

Who doesn't love astrology? What bride, if she considers herself in any part a "Renaissance woman," wouldn't die to know what the heavens hold for her and her soon-to-be-husband a short time before their lifetime commitment to Each Others' Virtues and Vices? I have lots of friends who practically *live* by the zodiac (or at least like to pretend to), so I ask, of all the things you *could* do at a bachelorette party, is this idea (below) a good one?

"It's in the Stars (and the Cards)

If the bride knows her Sun and Moon signs, plus her fiance's rising sign, we can predict with almost perfect accuracy that she'll love a New Age party. Hire a tarot card reader and an astrologer to do everyone's chart. This idea can be a big hit -- and not just with the starry-eyed bride. Who doesn't want to know what the future holds?"

I mean, I suppose knowing the timespan of your marriage might help you prepare for its eventual end, by death, divorce, or whatever else. I wouldn't suggest this approach for anyone prone to Runaway Bride Syndrome, however.

Don't you wish you knew what it was?

Last week's poll on party favours for children revealed a 100% "hate it" result - thank goodness the little people are not yet taking over the world.
