Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she’s like, ‘I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.’ Where does it end? You just have to say, ‘It’s pretty damn good. I am right here at the moment and I’m OK with it. I’ve got other things to think about.’” (via Melissa McCarthy On The Endless Quest For Perfection)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md4te3euX51qzpo8yo1_400.jpg)

Who To Sleep With At A Wedding, In Order Of Best To Worst Idea
One of my dearest friends is getting married in a few months and she’s asked me to be a bridesmaid. Super! However, she had requested that the bridesmaids wear some kind of brown suit instead of the usual dress. Now, while I really appreciate her originality and desire for us girls to be able to use our outfits again later (and really actually use them), I have been having the hardest time finding something cute, appropriate, and cool enough to be worn in Texas in July. We can choose pants, skirts, maybe even some tailored shorts in any shade of brown.” – Brown Frown (via Style 911: “Help, I Need A Bridesmaid’s Outfit — In Brown!” - The Frisky)
“Do you know why people have wedding parties at all? If you’re like me and you can use Google and you’ve Googled “bridesmaid history,” then you probably do know. If not, I’ll just tell you: back in the olden days, all the way from Rome to the Victorian era, the thing was to have a bunch of people surrounding the bride and groom who were kind of vaguely dressed like them, so that the evil spirits that were sure to attend your wedding would get confused about who to harass.
I really, really fucking love the presumption that obviously there are going to be evil spirits at what is meant to be the happiest day of your life. It works literally, and it works metaphorically. Second, how badass is it that today’s evil spirits — pressure to conform, pressure to non-conform, pressure to invite that stranger you’ve never met, pressure to spend all your money on an open bar — actually are warded off with the help of a wedding party that loves and supports you.”
