I just noticed that this list works different from all other lists I belong to, in that hitting reply sends the email to an individual, instead of to the list. How confusing!! Sorry Tamara, it should have gone to the list.

You all seem to think this is a wedding dress, because one of the headlines is 'wedding scoop'. But the picture is too small to read what is says under that, is it referring to the dress?? To me this looks more like it has to do with the 'sexy ideas for every shape' article that is mentioned at the bottom of the page. To me this looks more like an evening dress than a wedding dress, and as you all know, a lot of evening dresses can be quite provocative.... when I first looked at the picture it didn't say 'wedding dress' to me at all, but more evening dress, or maybe even negligee....which could be as sexy as one wanted.... Don't jump to conclusions because of reading only one headline....Don't forget, this is the February issue, think Valentine's....If it was a June issue I would say 'Wedding dress', but not the February issue.

I've only ever saw your dress from the front; you never sent any photos of the back, though I assumed there was a substantial area of the back exposed, since it was a halter dress. If your dress was "backless" in the sense that the skirt started where the lace on this one starts, then that's no more thand what a swimsuit exposes. But, if your dress was backless all the way to _below_ your butt (which, to all intents and purposes this one is), then I'm almost sorry I made you that lace bracelet/cuff to go with it :) Also, your dress had a stole (which I assume you wore for the ceremony). In this dress, the lace on the back is the main feature; it's not likely it would be covered with anything. Also, your wedding was outside, and your dress was blue -- far less formal. This one, being white, suggests a long trek down the church aisle on your father's arm, with 300 or people more staring at your exposed behind as you pass. Chances are, that at least half of those people would be in your parents' generation, definitely making judgements (from the shape of the butt to the propriety of exposing it, depending on the sex of the viewer)... > I'm not offended or anything, just wanted to explain that I know > plenty of girls in > their right minds who could potentially get married in something like > this. Then I'd question their "right minds" :) I would also wonder about how the groom felt about the ribald jokes he'd be bound to receive from the males of _your_ generation. > it depends on whether she's dressing provocatively on purpose, not on > whether > other people see her clothes as provocative. There used to be a joke, which circulated in my youth, and it went something like this: "If one person tells you you're drunk, ignore it. If three people tell you you're drunk, go sleep it off". Nobody lives in a vacuum; if 300 people are likely to think the worse of you because of what you do, and if you do not consider their possible reaction, then you _are_ provocative on purpose (vide the recent and continuing hoopla about the cartoons of Muhammad). Being provocative/offensive on purpose may be worth it when one is defending an abiding principle; fighting over the right to go bare-butt down the church aisle because it "feels good" seems, to me, a frivolous pursuit.
