It's not common amongst my friends or family. I think people let this stuff become the norm because secretly they want it for themselves in the future. Also, how hard is it for a bride to say "no" to multiple showers/parties. In life, not everyone gets to attend everything and that's OK.

All this. But I also see "we're/they're pregnant" as stating that the man is equally responsible for the pregnancy. It wasn't that long ago that (and for some still is) that people saw not getting pregnant, being pregnant, and raising children as solely a woman's job. Language changes like this, although small, help…

Oh, I thought the SPF reflected both types of protection. I was incorrect, then. But yeah, that was more my point that you can still tan because a lot of people think if you wear any sunscreen you will not tan at all.

Chemical blocks don't block everything. It depends on your SPF, but you can still tan because of that. Physical blocks are different and will prevent a tan.

It depends on your SPF level - you can still tan because it doesn't completely block the UVA rays even at a high SPF. I know plenty of people who wear sunscreen and still get tan. It just takes longer. Now if you are wearing a physical block like zync oxide - no you will not tan. But chemical blocks don't block…

Yeah, sunscreen only prevents burns, not tanning. A lot of people have this misconception though and don't wear sunscreen because of it. Sunscreen is used to protect us from skin cancer. Fair skinned people don't tan not because of sunscreen but the lack of melanin in their skin.

Hideous bottoms. The tan lines look like a giant tic attached itself to her.

These bottoms are FUG. Fabric pubes!*

You don't- you have your minions carry you.

In comparison to McGowen's dress, yes, Rihanna's is more classy.

I got kinja-ed and now I can't post it. But easypezy posted a pic of the dress below me!

I think J-Lo's dress was a stunt as well. Just less obvious.

Eh, McGowen pulled a similar stunt before J-Lo (although not classy like Rihanna):

Exactly.

I both LOVE this dress and think it's fug- courtesy of Stephanie Seymour in GnR's November Rain:

Whoa. That's hideous.

Is it meant to confuse the groom?

While this probably won't end up the ugliest it's still pretty fug:

Yeah, the 2 times I was called for jury duty in the last decade (I was not ultimately picked) the judges made a point of saying that kind of CSI evidence rarely appears in cases and that most cases are decided on the reliability of those involved. They went on to say, it was our job to decide based on who was credible…
