Not to mention it's so much healthier. We have generations of bald black women because of those ridiculous extensions pulling their scalp hairless. No one believes they are real, nor do they honor true African survivor heritage. At work, I'm surrounded by beautiful young black women who have already lost half their hair from the pressure of the extensions, and now they're scrambling for wigs and wearing bandannas. Such a shame our current culture has taught them this is their only choice.

With the third gown, there was this subtle shift and transformation in Kareen's persona and carriage to one of quiet regality, on top of being beautiful. It was as if she realised that there are many ways to project sexiness and show off the endowments she is so proud of. As for Brianne, her personality is so charming and endearing, and she has such a wonderful attitude towards her wedding preparations (as a means of involving her family and relatives)...

[@danielledenis9863]

I love how beautiful these ladies look and feel. And the care the shop owner gives is wonderful! The only thing I'm concerned about is their long-term health. I've lost well over 100 pounds and I know how much better I feel. I had developed arthritis throughout my body and was always in pain, and if I hadn't lost the weight, I'd have been in a wheelchair years ago. I wasn't morbidly obese because all I did was eat - in fact, my problem was that I didn't think enough about food, so I'd go all day without eating and then be ravenous and eat late at night and then go to bed. Not good. I want these ladies to have long, happy lives no matter what they do, but I wish them health so they can enjoy those years.[ I'm 71 and I'm so glad my feet and knees don't have to carry around that extra weight. ] Blessings to both of them.

Set to plan the moment you get engaged so that way you give your self time to save the money and have an idea of what you want

[@lucygray6162]

When you invite too many "random" people, you are opening up the occasion for trouble. I've seen a lot of weddings (and wedding videos) ruined by crass, clueless people who are drunk, can't keep their tongues in their mouths during pictures, and started on the food before the bride and groom. That's minor. I'm not even going to talk about the really gross behavior from guests of guests you'll never forget, and will probably have mega-videos of. People can really be stupid. Do some judicious culling, you'll be glad later. Don't waste money on human garbage on your special day.

Yep, you heard that correctly. Many people are cultural Christians meaning they believe in God, but Jesus is not Lord the culture is their guide. Jesus being Lord does not mean perfection, but it does mean striving to live the way Christ lived.

[@tammy2498]

Yes you heard right.

[@Pr0fessorScience]

@@chrissyh3270 hard to tell cause your comment's a bit messy, but it seems like you're suggesting that cultural Christians are MORE likely to support the LGBTQ community, and that simply isn't correct. If someone truly accepts Jesus as their lord, they will know that not only are they expected to refrain from judging others, but also that Jesus NEVER EVER said anything suggesting that being LGBTQ is sinful or wrong. They'd also likely care about the fact that Jesus was a reformer and revolutionary whose teachings were intended to REPLACE the old laws, and would therefore not cite Genesis or Leviticus as proof that being LGBTQ is sinful or wrong (which is the common justification among "Christians"). And, on the flip side, those who claim being LBGTQ is sinful and wrong ARE CULTURAL CHRISTIANS. They are not following the teachings of Jesus - they are following the teachings of their own denomination or their own local church, all of which are dictated by other humans, not God. Anti-LGBTQ sentiment in the West is largely due to Victorian attitudes, making it an entirely cultural phenomenon. If your comment was intended to say what I interpreted it as saying, I'm confused about why you think groups of people confirming their own bigotry to each other by claiming it's supported by Jesus (who supported no bigotry, EVER) seem more Christian to you than people actually following the teachings of Jesus.
