Just wondering how it feels, ladies, when the pro-woman's rights Boston Globe is so sexist and condescending to you?
"Brides-to-be vow to save; Ever popular gown sale has greater draw in weaker economy" by Erich Schwartzel, Globe Correspondent | August 23, 2008
An estimated 1,500 women piled into Filene's Basement's semiannual "Running of the Brides" wedding gown sale, featuring heavy discounts on designer dresses. This year, the cutthroat competition grew even fiercer as soon-to-be brides squeezed by the slow economy, weak job market, and rising food and fuel costs looked for deals for their special day.
A sour economy forcing couples to turn the happiest day of their lives into a frugal one, too.
Except for richers!
Amazing that you are now shoveled shit on your wedding day, huh, 'murkns?
Two minutes after a stampede into the convention center, the racks were bare as the brides-to-be unleashed a war cry and grabbed as many gowns as their outstretched arms would allow. There's no time for discernment - shoppers sort through their findings to determine what they'll try on and what they'll trade.
Others weren't as prepared for the chaos of the sale. Bride-to-be Lauren Franz brought along her friend, neither of whom had done their research. Expecting a casual perusal, they were "shell-shocked" to find barren racks just five minutes after the doors opened.
WTF? This makes me want to do away with marriage altogether!
But women should be running the world? I don't think so!!
