I spent most of Saturday at the Bridal Extravaganza Show.  It was fabulous, fun, exciting, beautiful, informative, everything I thought it would be and more.  I’m happy that I went and will probably go again.  It was exhausting and I was just there browsing.  I can only imagine how exhausting it was for the women who were actually doing real wedding stuff, like booking venues, ordering flowers, choosing a dress, etc. 

One of the most fun and interesting parts of the extravaganza was the fashion shows.  I felt so big city sitting there watching these skinny chicks strut down the runway in their bridal gowns.  There were about 5 or 6 fashion shows throughout the day.  I caught a few of them.  I sorta felt like I was at Bryant Park watching a real fashion show.  Only I was dressed in a khakis instead of coture and I was drinking Diet Coke instead of Champagne.  It was cool. 

For the most part, the folks in the audience seemed really into the fashion shows and were commenting and oohing and ahhing over the dresses and the tuxedos.  Well, not the tuxedoes-but the super hot guys wearing them. 

Except for this girl…

I'd rather be txting

No, I’m not talking about the ten other women in the row who are truly interested in the show.  I’m talking about the bleach blonde on the end of the aisle.  She was on her BlackBerry during most of the show.  And it was the fanciest show of the entire day.  It was the “Coture Bridal Show.”  To sit in the front row you had to have purchased a $35.00 ticket!  I did, cuz I’m VIP like that.  Everyone in the front got a cute little goody bag, a rose (I ended up with two because someone dropped theirs on the floor and I snatched it), chance to win a honeymoon to Jamaica, and just the opportunity to be up close and personal with some really gorgeous, expensive gowns.  I’m not sure if it was really worth the $35.00, but it was fun and made me feel way cool.  But this girl was just too cool for school.  But I must say her skin cancer tan goes well with her Louis Vuitton handbag.  I’m guessing her name was something like Victoria or Winnie.  Something real funky and bitchy.  You can’t see it in the pic, but she had on 4 inch heels.  They were cute, but come on!  Who can hike around a venue for ten hours in shoes like that?  Maybe I’m too judgemental.  Maybe Victoria volunteers at animal shelter on weekends and enjoys gardening in her spare time.  Probably not.  

Her and Lucy would not get along well. Lucy’s a much more natural girl who wouldn’t be caught dead in 4 inch heels, let alone attending a fashion show.  You go Lucy!

Hope you’re looking forward to Bridal Show posts.  Like I said before, I don’t do much so I’m going to have to stretch my day of excitement into at least 37 separate blog posts.    Love you guys!
