Introduction

Dearest Readers,

This is my very first post. I have to confess, I am obsessed with wedding dresses-have been since I was a kid living back in mother Russia. That's me at the CVS counter checking out Bride for the newest styles. That's me watching E! network's "Whose Wedding is it Anyway?", in complete shock of how much money some brides are willing to pay for an ugly ball of Tulle and Lace. I won't keep this too wordy. This blog will feature the worst and the best of wedding dresses. To the UGLY, the MUNDANE, the BORING, the PRINCESS, the OVERDONE STRAPLESS wedding dress: if I FIND YOU on the Web or on Video, you will find yourself shamed on my blog. To the rare dress that takes our breath away, I look forward to finding you and putting you on this blog.


And so to start us off this week, we have this lovely dress, for sale on Craigslist Miami. Let's start out by noting that huge, long trains are generally reserved for Royalty, like Princess Di, or maybe Celine Deon, and even they have a hard time pulling those off (I do not think it is a coincidence that things started to go bad for "The Views" ex co-host Star Jones right around the time she chose to wear the dress with the forever train on her wedding day).

This one not only disregards the "must be Royalty or Star who thinks She is Royalty to even attempt long train" rule, but it also disregards the "try not to look like you're trailing a sheepskin rug behind you" rule. When I was a kid, my mom had to make snowballs out of cotton for the winter peagant in kindgergarden-that looks like the fake cotton snow Santa sat in during the peagant, and my friend Dennis threw up in. Shame on that wedding dress mess!
