Modern attempts to recreate the leaping on modern cattle cowboys have resulted only in a number of deaths. In short, the bull is too fast, too powerful and too aggressive to allow seizure of the horns, much less the use of the energy of the neck toss for acrobatics. Moreover, that toss is a hook to the side, not a neat backward boost.

The Legend dress design is more visually appealing, IMO.

re: the featured photo…that’s not a low-cut gown, it’s a very HIGH-cut cumberbund.

I have spent the entire day assiduously avoiding it, and you go and do this. Shame on you.

Meh… It’s a nice thing, overall. It was worth reading about just for the sermon by Rev. Michael Curry:
Which was lovely.

Meghan Markle looks gorgeous in that elegantly simple gown.

Speaking of Luxanna Troi’s skyclad wedding; I was just thinking about that episode when I read this post, but I couldn’t find any good images to post.

That’s all I could find (from Trekcore, or whatever that Trek wiki is called). It’s a great episode, about duty and aging, I thought. They started out with her as something of a joke, and in later seasons they dealt with some real issues around aging with her, I thought.

Oh, thank you. I thought I would be the only one to object on the grounds of incompetent tailoring!

I hope this trend dies out before it’s time for my nieces and daughters of friends to get married.
Until then I plan on riding the wave. Keep your eye out for my Kickstarter for Bridal Jugs magazine - the finest bridal magazine kept behind the counter.

I know fashion insiders are going to flaunt their expertise and point to one influence or another… But I’m still fascinated with this idea I read in some Heinlein novel where the length of women’s skirts had something to do with the country’s willingness to go to war. Association is not causation, I get that, but it’s interesting. And whatever subconscious sexual tribal mechanisms are at play, you might especially see in action at something like a wedding.

I’m going out on a limb here, but I think Phil would be okay with this.

The problem with pictures on ancient vases and murals and whatnot is that it’s hard to tell what is documentation and what is storyboarding.

Sorry. NSFW is in the eye of the beholder.
