- An aside to Very Very Good Girl: Even before this feature on revealing bridal gowns appeared, I had come up with the idea that, as Avuncle of the Bride, I could assist your fulfillment of the traditional “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something salacious, … ” checklist by popping for an artist to paint temporary, tastefully trashy tattoos for the bridal party and the parents of the bride and groom. I thought it would give a little edge to the ceremony if, for example, your dad had a cobra head tattoo on the side of his face as he gave you away. And why carry a bridal bouquet when your mom could wear an ink version of one? I hadn’t suggested it to you yet because I had broached the notion to Lady Lawanda, who was surprisingly resistant, but once she sees this article and the potential excitement a well placed tattoo of, say, mating panthers on your back framed by the folds of your gown, she’s sure to come around. Given the amount of ink on almost every basketball player on TV this year, it’s clear that this is a must for fans, so for SportsBizPro, I’m thinking a sports theme would be ideal, e.g., maybe the emblems of all his favorite teams surrounding a stadium view of a soccer game being played. Or something with snakes. ~back~
