Groundhog Day

Can we all just take a minute to enjoy the fact that grown-ass men all take a day to dress up in their Victorian finest to worship a rodent. That is dedication! Those costumes are not cheap...trust me. Wondering why they do this? So was I...

Seems the first Groundhog day was observed in 1886 and was a tradition brought to Pennsylvania by its German immigrants. It began with a group of local businessmen and groundhog hunters - a group known as the Puxsatawney Groundhog club, who today still conduct their meetings in the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect and retain the traditional dress of the time.

Lauren-Bush Wedding

That's right folks. Two of the country's most iconic families joined in holy matrimony this past Labor day as model Lauren Bush (Grand daughter of President GHW Bush) and David Lauren (son of fashion designer Ralph) married on a ranch in Colorado. As you might expect, RL designed the wedding gown for his new daughter-in-law. The result was a Victorian-inspired gown with high lace collar and sheer long sleeves. Tulle, silk, crystals and pearls. Delicious!

P.S. Is her name now Lauren Lauren?
