So, we are in Richmond Bride Magazine for the Winter 2007 edition, and we are thrilled about it. They are fabulous; our jewelry looks great; and we're on the cover. Yee-Haw!
The photos in here are great too. The model looks great; the shots are clean and gorgeous...Can I say great one more time? As far as advertising goes, this is - but I have to say it - great for business.
My fiance pointed out that this cover was different from some of the other bridal magazines we've been looking at. "Usually," he said, "the models look, well, like hookers." Of course, I told him he was crazy then he dragged me out to our local magazine stand and pointed out that indeed many of the brides did sort of look a bit on the overtly sexy side. Not exactly like hookers, in my mind, but then again to my knowledge no one has yet combined the oldest profession with the second oldest profession. Or have they?
In a way, he's kind of right. Maybe I'm so used to fashion that it completely escapes my attention anymore. Or maybe I've just buried the sexy bride thing in my subconscious real deep. It sort of lends itself to some confusion though. I mean the white dress is supposed to be virginal, pure and then you've got the come hither looks and cleavage. It's like a bridal battle. In a way, it feels like yesterday's news. I don't know many women who are battling that scenario out in their lives. (On the one hand, I must be pure, but on the other, I must look like someone a man would want to pay to bed down.) Maybe it does go on, and my corner of the world has moved beyond it, but I can't help wonder if the bridal industry is a bit behind the times. What do you think about all this?
Not Richmond Bride though. They are the rockin'-est, and our model is perfect......Yee Haw!

You forgot to mention the name of your company, Razzle Dazzle Jewelry. Don't forget to do that when you are talking about your stuff because it's so great and people should be able to see what it is and where to get it.
xxxxxxxxxx
Congratulations on Razzle Dazzle Jewelry being in Richmond Magazine! Go Allyson!!!
I guess today's new whore bride isn't that surprising considering trends everywhere. Look what I found while xmas shopping this year: this evil My Scene ho-doll comes complete with the Kama Sutra, Lucky Magazine and laser bear eyes ready to bore a credit-card sized hole in your child's soul.
Maybe we have Madonna to thank for the rise of the HoBride. I'm thinking of her incredible & legendary '85 MTV Like a Virgin performance... :)
an aside to bridgette:
Thanks for the info on the My Scene ho-doll. I too was especially interested in her accessories including the pink plastic Mai Tai which no young girl should be without. It's never too early to begin the alcohol consumption and the see-thru blouses. But don't try and blame this on Madonna. I'm pretty sure her daughter is only allowed to wear turtlenecks until the age of 31.
congrats on the feature...
