Wedding Update

So I thought I would do an update on wedding plans.  I have my dress ordered and it should be here the beginning of April.  Nathan and I have our wedding bands and we are just waiting for spring so I can re size my ring since they told me that your size of you finger will be different later on.  The bridesmaids are ordering the dresses by the end of this week so we should be good to go on that part.  We start wedding classes tomorrow night and then we are going to go shopping for flowers.

More updates to come.

Here are some more updates...
The bridesmaid dresses are ordered last Friday and the invites are on their way.  I should have them tomorrow.  We are deciding on shoes which the link is below.  They will be green.  The bridesmaids and I thought it would be better to have them green.  I am not a color matching person so I didn't know if silver shoes would look good with the dresses but the bridesmaids thought purple or green would be better.  My dress should be here March 28 and my gma is going to do the alterations if I need them.  She is also doing the mints and the punch.  We have figured out that we are going to have Martin Bros for our food which will be pulled pork.  My mom said she is going to do the sheet cakes and the flowers for the wedding now which will help a lot.  I have someone doing my wedding cake which will be a 3 tier cake with green and purple decorations on it.  The inside will be a marble flavoring.

Killing us Softly 3 blog

• Does the beauty ideal still tyrannize women? 

Beauty still tyrannize woman. That is what our society does in this day in age.  Even more so than before.  The technology has grown so much that you can do anything to a person to change their looks.

• Does advertising still objectify women's bodies? 

Yes because men want us to have bigger boobs and skinny bodies.  That is why most people have surgery to change their bodies.  Even though it's very dangerous and some people die from breast implants because of complications.  Females don't think they look good because of the advertisements in the world today. 

• Is sexuality still presented as a women's main concern?

 I think to a point.  They use weight and looks for sexuality a lot.  Especially in  beer commercials I could tell from the super bowl commercials last night.  They us the long legs and short shorts to make the men go gaga over the woman. 

• Are young girls still sexualized? 

Yes because if you go into an elementary school today, you see girls wearing skimpy clothes that weren't allowed back in the day.  They start wearing make-up earlier than when I went to school.  Girls are talking about people's weight in elementary school today.  My cousin was talking about their weight when she was in 4th grade and she talks to her sister about her being fat.  She isn't fat, she is going into her growth spurt before her older sister and also the younger one eats food where as the other one is a picky eater and doesn't eat much at all.

Which the oldest one is Grace which she is in the light blue and Emma is the middle one which she is in the dark blue.

• Are grown women infantilized?

 Yes.  They are made to look young again so it looks like they don't age.  They are used for beauty products to make your skin look young again.  How woman can get with younger men to make them feel young again.

• Are images of male violence against women still used to sell products? 

 There is some but not as much as there used to.  People have figured out that what people use in advertisements are seen from children and they act on it.  That is why all the children shows aren't as violent as they used to be.  There have been links to one another so they have been pulling the plug on it.  There is still some, but not as much as it used to be which is taking a step in the right direction.

• Do any of the problems listed above also apply to men?

Yes it is a little.  They are more self conscious about their dicks and the size of it.   There is advertisements about how to make it bigger so their is more pleasure.  Also men are talked about being mean and non nurturing.  Which that is not the case in some men.  Some men are mean but most men are sensitive and actually cry at the same movies that woman cry too.
