Veiled Bitches... ;) [Oct. 24th, 2007|09:04 am]

The first American woman to wear a wedding veil was Nelly Custis, Martha Washington's daughter. She wore the veil to please her husband-to-be, who had complimented her on how pretty she looked when seen through a lace-curtained window.

They used too. I think mourning veils are a cool thing.

Through a lace curtain? Wow...that's almost as bad from the line from the animated Star Wars, when Anakin tells Amidala she looks really good in the dark. :)

Speaking of fun things to watch, have you seen this? Africam they have these live streaming webcams set up on a game reserve in Africa. I'm watching wildebeests graze!

Yeah, not the most flattering complement. I said something similar to a girl once. What I meant to say was "you have a really classical kind of beauty", but what came out was "you would have been really pretty about 200 years ago."

the veil story makes me so happy! i've always hated the whole hidden, unveiled/unwrapped like a gift as if you were someone else's to give thing. doing it to look pretty is so much nicer.

Yeah. First thing I thought when I read that was "Oh god. He would only want to see me when my face was blurry. Uh. Maybe marriage with this guy isn't the right thing for me."

Also: FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS IS THE SHIT. My roommate and I watch "If You're Into It" when we're having a bad day to make us feel better.
