wedding attire, not

Thanks for that, I needed a good, long, laugh! I loved some of the comments from the rugby players/fans too being an ex-rugger player myself.

I am really glad I left the UK before chavs came on the scene. I cringe whenever I see just how low some have sunk in almost 13 years! Unfortunately it appears they are breeding like rabbits and it can only get worse over time......EEEK! I have to admit that chavs make me ashamed to be British at times!

I showed the pix to my husband, and he said, "Just like downtown." We live in Reno.

I saw that on another group. Scary, innit!

Here's the word on chavs:

Larry, they have always been here. It's just that at the moment they are the ones it's fashionable;le to pick on. In other eras they went by other names.

I'm kinda partial to the big orange with the lace up sandals Juno

What about the white low-rise--it appears to be slipping off south, doesn't it?

Wow! It looks like a British sitcom wedding!

take comfort in the fact that teens seek to be NOT LIKE thier parents, usually. it'll fade eventually, although the next trend may be worse... lee

I know there has always been an element like that but from what I remember they were very few and far between. It just seems that they are everywhere over there now. I was born in the late 50's, lived my early childhood through the 'swinging 60's' and my late teens were spent in the early to mid 70's. I was exposed to the fashion trends of the 'teddy boy's', 'mods', 'rockers', 'fribs', 'skinheads', 'greasers', 'new romantics', etc. etc. but I don't ever remember anything quite so tasteless as the current 'chav' trend. In fact the only time I remember seeing anyone dress like 'chavs' was in the mid 70's and they were a couple of middle-aged 'tarts' (hookers for left pondians)in one of the sleazier pubs in town. At that time I was in a motorcycle gang and wore long hair, black leather jacket, flared jeans and knee high motorcycle boots and I can tell you I wouldn't have touched a 'chav' with a ten foot pole! Come to think of it I would cross the road to avoid them today (although that might prove very difficult considering how many there are now...lol).

Little Britain? That is the funniest show!

Yes! Teenagers have the right to be different, just like everybody else.

Sure am glad I have a mirror. And I know how to use it.

And the really amusing thing is that people from outside the UK probably don't even find the same things funny in the show as us Brits!

I also have a gay friend from Llandewi Brevi (spelling...) which is down the road from me!

Yeah. I have a hard time complaining to people that my daughter had to rebel like every other teen, and since her mother is a strange, unusual, hippie-type, she rebelled by becoming a yuppie! She got her first job a week after her 16th birthday, started buying stock in her employer's company with her first check, invested heavily in their

401K, bought her first house with her own money a week before her 20th birthday, married her "childhood sweetheart" at 21, NOT pregnant, paid for her own wedding, has savings and investments, is the youngest store manager in her company in 5 states and one of the 5 youngest in the corporation...how does a mommy complain about that??? And now she's about to present me with a gorgeous baby boy on or around October 18...my life is rough!

oh, Juno, that's my favourite, too. although I'm not sure if it's the outfit or the cleavage that keeps catching my eye :-)

I was trying to remember exactly what that wedding gown reminded me of, and it finally came to me.

When I was in first grade, my mother made me a Barbie birthday cake. It involved baking the cake in a sort of dome-shaped bowl. After baking, cooling and removal from the pan, the barbie was pushed down into the top of the cake, up to her waist, then the cake (and doll) were frosted with pink and white frosting, simulating a formal gown.

At the time I thought it was just the coolest thing in the world. However, when it came to choosing my own wedding garb, it really wasn't the sort of effect I was going for.

Grace Slick had the same problem. :)

My eye goes right to the hats. Love the hats.

I just have to wonder what the bar tab was for the reception.

Looks like the groomsmen have been smoking a little something.....
