My best friend's wedding is coming up! (I always wanted to say it, since it's the name of a lovely Julia Robert's Movie, and she doesn't even get the guy in the end, does she? I don't remember!) Anyway I wanted to get the accessories which the bachelorette would wear for the party, cause there is a "Bachelorette Party" after the Bridal Shower.
I would always go clubbing and see a bunch of girls wearing fancy weird things that made it seem like they were a part of a party group. Eventually I would notice it was a "bachelorette party", and often I thought their tiaras etc were tacky. I did not really understand the concept of bachelor/bachelorette parties, maybe it's just me.
I needed to find out where I would buy this stuff, so I asked a friend and she said "party city" or "spencers gift". I went to Spencer's Gifts since it was closer than where party city was. Oh boy! I found the bachelorette isle, and all the accessories, and oh boy, everything was penis themed. EVERYTHING!!!!
I was embarrassed to a deep shade of burgundy (I'm brown so my blushing gets dark and deep). I looked around for "normal" looking stuff, but instead found a rack of dildos, vibrators, double-dildos, and other things. Even darker shade of burgundy this time. What is this place?
I remember this store being a fun gifts and crazy lights kind of store... what happened! Whoa! I obviously hadn't noticed before, or hadn't been to the mall in ages! In any case there was NO WAY my bestie was gonna wear penises. I would not let her be THAT girl. Or is it a culture thing? I stood there over-analyzing the situation. I used my better judgement and got the only two "clean" things I could find there, ie. NO PENIS! So my bestie is safe from this whatever it is, penis flaunting. Ugh! What!
Anyway, I did realize there are girls out there wearing penis crowns, drinking out of penis mugs, and what not... Why? I mean honestly... I need someone to explain to me what this phenomena is about. Is this some sort of strange female empowerment? I can understand going to a male strip club and watch men dance around a pole in skimpy attire, to contest bachelor parties which involve going to strip clubs. However drawing of penis and penis shaped accessories so don't get the right point across. This is just my humble opinion.
I just wish someone gave me a heads up before I walked into that store. Everyday we learn something new! This was my experience, and just rather shocking!
As a feminist, this makes me just ask WHY!
Other than that on a more somber note- Praying for those girls who lost their lives in the limousine fire, recently on their way to the bachelorette party. It's so unfortunate. :-(
