WWTSBW?: Fake Weddings


It's the second installment of WWTSBW?, or What Would The Suggestion Boxer Wear?: Fake Weddings edition. The first edition, Awkward Weddings, can be viewed here. I guess this time around it's more of a What DID The Suggestion Boxer Wear?, because that is indeed yours truly in the photos, impersonating a bride.

I have been waiting SO impatiently to see these photos. I helped my photografriend Jessica Sanders with this photo shoot for Jewel's Bridal Boutique in Delano a couple of weeks ago. She gave me an excuse to play dress-up at a wedding shop without feeling like a creep. I'm thrilled that at least one of the balloon pictures turned out fine (above). It was windy that day and impossible to keep track of those things and also mind the dress, which was beautiful but had an ungodly amount of fabric on the bottom.

Here's the rest of the photos from the day on the Photojessic blog if you want to see more. Jessica is brimming with talent (she took the photos I use for this site and for my new column on Twin Cities Metromix).

My friend Val modeled as well---she's the one with the cute pixie haircut who looks so smoldering sitting in that dirty chair in that basement and then again on that blue chair outside. I found that rusty blue chair on somebody's sidewalk next to the shop. You're welcome, V.

If you missed it, you can review the first WWTSBW?: Awkward Weddings edition here.

I am a sex machine in that pristine gown. I can only imagine the sorts of shirtless old men who have also grazed that blue chair.
