That little cartoon up there would be funny - if only it weren't so true. And while I relish being a trophy wife and all, sometimes I wish there was a little incentive/compensation for my efforts.
While writing this blog is my most favorite unpaid job of all, I have had my attentions diverted to my third favorite unpaid job of all - Costume Designer. I am the designer for the Fiddler on the Roof this year and I have the most excellent responsibility for creating Fruma Sarah's head piece.
And at first I was going to go all traditional "Bride of Frankenstein" on her head, I saw this picture:
And then I thought, Who are the brides that are so decadent that they are almost hideous?
I present you my list:
#1 - Laura Spencer
Sooooo bad it's delicious.
I love every ounce of this confection. That crap on her head? Genius.
#3 - Lady Diana
The dress was a wrinkled mess. There. I said it.
#4 - Lana Del Rey
Do you know how bad I want to hate Lana Del Rey? So bad. She bugs me with her weird, nightmarish face. But, damn it, she's pretty. And her flower crowns? They make me want to weep, I love them so much. So while technically not a bride, Lana Del Rey makes #4 with her hideous beauty.
So I got to cracking on my Sara/Spencer/Trump/Spencer/Del Rey creation. I tried on the framework just to see what you think. It needs some Spencerfying (of the Laura-type):
