Now, I'm not the type of girl who likes to advertise the status oh her hymen -- I don't feel that most people should care. And I don't think that most other women like to do so either. That said, there is always the rare bride (or concept photographer, or bridal ware designer) who wants to impress upon others the symbolics of a white wedding dress. Such as dress designer Da Vinci! (Find it here:http://www.davincibridal.com/index.php)
I mean, really.

"My vagina?" she seems to say. "Why, it's pure and clean -- like polished glass!"
The time of year has grown indifferent.
Mildew of summer and the deepening snow

Oh. No.
There are actually many pictures posed with the Giant Vag, and several other objets d'art.
This one is particularly fetching:

"Oh, that? That's just my enormous, glowing ladypart."
And the thing is, it has to be on purpose, because I fail to believe that no one - not the models, photographers, photo editors, stylists, no one - noticed what this looks like.
So close, and yet... so what?

My dad said that when he was in college, he had a psychology class test where you had to match a disorder with a song title. Like, "I Wanna Gal Just Like the Gal That Married Dear Old Dad" = Oedipus Complex.
But damn, do I love that picture. I think I'll have to send it to my FSIL and count how many minutes until she stops laughing!

There's a lot more to it than that, but my ability to explain falls apart at this point.

Um, wouldn't giving birth destroy the hymen? Or was Mary supposed to have had a celestial c-section too? I hope not, a manger isn't exactly a sterile environment!

The creepiest part is at the bottom of the page.

Maybe I have just been listening to too much texas swing, but grown men repeating daddy sentence after sentence in reference to their teenage daughters is just effing weird.
Did anyone read the pledge? *shutter*

It is not a joke, it is real.
And a growing phenomenon.
Both NPR and, well, Oprah, have talked about it.
The bottom line is, it would be OK if both boys and girls pledged. I can see why some value waiting for marriage. In retrospect, I wish I had only had sex with DH, because my other experiences were awful...
But why girls only?

My dad decided to be the most egalitarian of all men in the house (cooking, laundry, respect, etc) so that we, his daughters, would not accept anything less from our mates.
DH's dad did exactly the same in his family, and it definitely shows in DH's approach to family life.

She's not wearing a band. She's thinking, "If I'm getting married in 4 hours, can I sacrifice my virginity now? I'll likely be too tired and drunk for it tonight anyway. Did I already take that Valium? Am I wearing my bra?"
It'll all be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

I keep thinking it looks like some kind of time portal - like she popped out into the wrong time and now she's trying to figure out what to do.
"Curses! I was aiming for a kicking ball in 2439! What now?"
ETA: the hymen picture, of course. I'd somehow missed the rufie pic. YIKES!

likelystory, RealDoll was totally my first thought. This isn't a dress advertisement at all -- it's some dude's messed-up romantic fantasy. (Which explains why the dress is so weird -- great neckline, but rosettes? Really??)
