RaeLynn Enlists Famous Friends For Feel-Good "Tailgate" Video [Watch]
Courtesy RaeLynn Instagram
RaeLynn's infectious new single "Tailgate" has the singer reminiscing of her youth hanging out in — you guessed it — a tailgate. The feel-good track gets an equally fun music video and features cameos from some of the singer's famous friends including Cassadee Pope, Lindsay Ell, Cale Dodds, and Hayley Orrantia.
"Tailgate" Music Video
Directed by P. Tracy, RaeLynn stars in the three-minute clip where she's seen dancing in the bed of a tailgate. As she recalls past nights with her now-husband Josh, cameos from some of the other important people in her life are also included.
The "Josh and Rae" stand ins! So crazy how much it looked like us when I first moved to Nashville at 18. ❤ #tailgate #linkinbio👆
A post shared by R A E L Y N N (@raelynnofficial) on Oct 9, 2018 at 7:12am PDT
"Mama don't need to know everything / Some things you keep to yourself. Like dumb things you do when you're 17 on the DL. If that tailgate ever tells / I'll be the small talk of the town," she sings on the track.

Songwriting Session
RaeLynn penned the catchy song with Canaan Smith, Corey Crowder and Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard. She says when she got in the room with the guys she simply wanted to have fun.
"Lately when it comes to songwriting, I've made it a point to have fun and create music that feels good. The day we wrote 'Tailgate' I told Canaan, Corey and Tyler that if the song doesn't make me want to dance then I don't want to cut it," Raelynn says in a statement. "Without fail, 'Tailgate' makes me want to dance on stage every single time I perform it and when you hear it you can't help but sing along."
[MORE: RaeLynn talks about her support of women in the music business.]
It's hard not to dance along with RaeLynn in the new video, too. The song holds personal meaning to her as well. She's been driving the same Ford F-150 truck since she was 18.
"I got to thinking about all the trouble I'd have been in with mama and dad if that truck ever told a secret on me. I think everyone remembers that first car or truck and all the secrets it kept for them growing up," she adds.

Living in Central America, I am learning a thing or two about mosquitoes and natural mosquito repellent. When I was living in the States, I mixed various recipes or bought mosquito repellent made from different organic oils or plants from health food stores. Now that I am living in an area known for Malaria, an EFFECTIVE mosquito shield, hopefully natural, is my main focus.
I do not like to be sticky. While Avon Skin So Soft or other lotions and sprays can be an effective mosquito repellent, I do not like something sitting on my skin when I am already hot and sticky. Plus, I am not a good re-applier of bug stuff when I am busy or having fun.
The season is quickly approaching many places in the world where mosquitoes will be at an all time high. Here, it is the rainy season so I am starting to see more and more mosquitoes.
I look for a natural repellent because I do not like the health risks of the chemicals which are KNOWN cancer-causing agents in many of the commercial mosquito repellents, with DEET being the worst. While they may be fine when used once or twice, the build-up over time can affect the body. You never know the tipping point for each individual body until it is too late. Children have such small bodies so they are much more sensitive to toxic chemicals. Why would we want to load our kid's organs down so early in life with extra toxins and chemicals?
After taking several classes on nutrition, I learned WHY mosquitoes bite some people and not others. Have you ever known someone to be the only one in the group that is constantly swarmed by mosquitoes while everyone else is doing fine? Are you one of these people?
My mother is diabetic and takes insulin shots. She acquired her insulin-dependent diabetes later in life. Pre-diabetes, she was always bitten. After she took the insulin injections, mosquitoes never bothered her again. She told me her doctor said that mosquitoes do not like the insulin. This began my interest in what is going on in the body that either attracts mosquitoes or repels them.
The answer for an effective natural mosquito repellent lies within the balance of the body. This is also widely-known knowledge down here in Central America. If your body is deficient in the B Vitamins and Vitamin C, you will attract mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes use thermal, olfactory and visual clues to attack their next victim. The primary sense that mosquitoes use to find a person to bite is olfactory, the sense of smell. They have a sense of smell that is so super sensitive, you can call it bionic smelling. The B vitamins, Vitamin C, and garlic make you very unattractive to the mosquito.
You will need to take Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B6; both will be 50mg 3 times a day. B12 will be 5,000 mcg (or 5 mg) a day. You will also need to take Vitamin C 1000 mg 6 times per day or divide that amount into 2 times a day. Say you are taking 6,000 mg a day. Take 3,000 mg in the morning and 3,000 mg at night. You will want the ascorbate form of vitamin C, not ascorbic acid.
If you cannot find ascorbate Vitamin C, simply make your own! Take your 3,000 mg ascorbic acid Vitamin C tablets and add it to water. To that, add 1/4 teaspoon aluminum free baking soda. (The brand I use is Bob's Red Mill and it can be found at health food stores or in the organic sections of many regular grocery stores.) This will fizz like alka seltzer. You can drink it while it is fizzing or wait a couple of minutes. Do not let it sit longer than this.
You will also want to include garlic. Every night before bed, take garlic pills or for the best option, blend 2 cloves of garlic in a little pure water and drink. If you cut the garlic in half lengthwise and remove that long center strip, this will prevent that garlic smell that people can smell on you after you eat Italian food.
Coconut oil is also a natural deterrent. When I get out of the shower every morning, I rub coconut oil into my skin. This provides my skin with natural essential fatty acids that softens and smoothes my skin while having great anti-aging properties. Coconut oil quickly absorbs into your skin.
Coconut oil- Rub on your skin after shower every morning.
B1- Take 50 mg 3 times a day.
B6- Take 50 mg 3 times a day.
B12- Take 5,000 mcg (or 5 mg) 1 time a day.
Garlic- Take a couple of cloves before bed every night.
You will have to do this for several weeks before this natural mosquito repellent makes a pronounced difference. A couple of weeks is needed to saturate your tissues depending on your level of deficiency. Keep taking this natural mosquito repellent because your body needs these vitamins anyway. Like anything else, it only works if used as directed. But you know what? With this natural mosquito repellent program you also get a ton of health benefits that will enrich your life, energy, and vitality.
Why rub something toxic on your skin, when you can have a natural mosquito repellent right inside your very own body?
If you do get a mosquito bite and it is is driving you crazy, go ahead and buy some generic aspirin. Wet it well with water and rub it on the bite. Not only will the itch stop but the mosquito bite will quickly go away.
Central Americans avoid sugar and bananas before going out in the rain forest or jungle.
WOW! I really needed this information. I always wondered….
In all the years of searching i have not read a blog as practical and good as yours. Thanks a ton.
Hello. And Great Post. Thanks. Bye.

The time periods referred to in clauses (1) to (3) must be measured from the date the criminal complaint is filed, to the date the defendant is either found not guilty or is sentenced. If the criminal case begins by indictment rather than by criminal complaint, the time period must be measured from the date the indictment is returned.

Subdivision 1.Joinder of defendants.
Two or more defendants may be jointly charged with a felony and tried if they are alleged to have participated in the same act or transaction or in the same series of acts or transactions constituting an offense.

If the person so chosen is also a prosecuting witness, the prosecution shall present on noticed motion, evidence that the person's attendance is both desired by the prosecuting witness for support and will be helpful to the prosecuting witness. Upon that showing the court shall grant the request unless information presented by the defendant or noticed by the court establishes that the support person's attendance during the testimony of the prosecuting witness would pose a substantial risk of influencing or affecting the content of that testimony.
Subd. 2.Other cases.
Notwithstanding any other law, a prosecuting witness in any case involving criminal sexual conduct as defined in sections 609.342, 609.343, 609.344, and 609.345 may choose to be accompanied by a supportive person, whether or not a witness, at the omnibus or other pretrial hearing.

If a juror has personal knowledge respecting a fact in controversy in a cause, the juror shall declare it in open court during the trial. If during the retirement of a jury, a juror declares a fact which could be evidence in the cause, as of the juror's own knowledge, the jury shall return into court. In either of these cases, the juror making the statement shall be sworn as a witness and examined in the presence of the parties.

The defendant may object to a decision of the court on a matter of law. Although the jury may return a general verdict including questions of law as well as fact, it shall receive as law the court's instructions.
(10710) RL s 5363; 1971 c 25 s 99; 1985 c 265 art 11 s 1
When the giving of evidence is concluded in a criminal trial, unless the case is submitted on both sides without argument, the prosecution may make a closing argument to the jury.

No person may be permitted to speak or communicate with any juror, unless by order of court, nor may a person listen to its deliberations. The jury must be returned to court upon agreeing on a verdict or when so ordered by the court. In case of mixed juries counties shall provide adequate, separate quarters for male and female jurors with proper accommodations. If the county fails to provide proper accommodations, the court shall order the jurors to be housed in a suitable hotel for the night.
This section applies only if the jury has failed to agree.
(10713, 10713-1) RL s 5366; 1927 c 210 s 1,2; 1981 c 31 s 21; 1985 c 265 art 11 s 1; 1Sp1985 c 16 art 1 s 4
After the retirement of the jury, the court may discharge it if:
(1) one of the jurors becomes so sick as to be unable to continue to serve on the jury;
(2) the jury is unable to agree upon a verdict; or
(3) any other accident or cause occurs to prevent the jury from being kept together for deliberation.
(10716) RL s 5369; 1985 c 265 art 11 s 1; 1986 c 444
If a jury is discharged or prevented from giving a verdict because of accident, disagreement, or other cause, the case may be again tried at the same or another term, unless the defendant is discharged during the trial or after the case has been submitted to the jury.
(10717) RL s 5370; 1985 c 265 art 11 s 1
Upon an indictment or complaint for an offense consisting of different degrees, the jury may find the defendant not guilty of the degree charged in the indictment or complaint, and guilty of any degree inferior to that. Upon an indictment or complaint for an offense, the jury may find the defendant not guilty of committing it, and guilty of an attempt to commit it. Upon an indictment or complaint for murder, if the jury finds the defendant not guilty, it may, upon the same indictment or complaint, find the defendant guilty of manslaughter in any degree. In all other cases, the defendant may be found guilty of any offense necessarily included in that offense with which the defendant is charged in the indictment or complaint.
If the jury cannot agree upon a verdict with respect to all defendants in a trial involving multiple defendants, it may render a verdict as to those defendants in regard to whom it does agree, on which a judgment shall be entered accordingly. The defendants not receiving a verdict may be tried by another jury.
When a verdict such as the court may receive is returned, the court administrator shall immediately file it in open court and read it to the jury, and ask the jurors if it is their verdict. If a juror disagrees, that fact shall be entered upon the minutes, and the court shall send the jury out to deliberate further. If no disagreement is expressed by the jury, the verdict is complete, and the court shall discharge the jury from the case. The court administrator shall immediately record the verdict in full in the court minutes.
(10721) RL s 5374; 1955 c 32 s 1; 1985 c 265 art 11 s 1; 1Sp1986 c 3 art 1 s 82
After a plea or verdict of guilty, if the court has discretion as to the extent of the punishment, and if either party suggests that there are aggravating or mitigating circumstances which may be properly considered in imposing sentence, the court may hear the issue summarily, at a specified time, and upon notice to the adverse party as it may direct. The aggravating or mitigating circumstances must be presented by the testimony of witnesses examined in open court.
The court may order a criminal action, whether prosecuted upon indictment or complaint, to be dismissed. The court may order dismissal of an action either on its own motion or upon motion of the prosecuting attorney and in furtherance of justice. If the court dismisses an action, the reasons for the dismissal must be set forth in the order and entered upon the minutes. The recommendations of the prosecuting officer in reference to dismissal, with reasons for dismissal, must be stated in writing and filed as a public record with the official files of the case.
(10725) RL s 5378; 1927 c 296; 1985 c 265 art 11 s 1; 1986 c 444
A challenge is an objection made to a trial jury, and is of two kinds:
(1) to the panel; and
(2) to an individual juror.
When several defendants are tried together, they cannot sever the challenge, but shall join in making the challenge.
At a voir dire examination, a challenged juror may be examined as a witness to prove or disprove the challenge. The juror shall answer every question pertinent to the inquiry. When challenged on the ground that the juror is not a citizen of the United States, the juror's own testimony is competent evidence of the fact of naturalization, without other evidence. The juror's testimony on the issue of citizenship may be disputed by the challenger. At a voir dire examination either party may examine other witnesses on either side. The Rules of Evidence applicable to the trial of other issues govern the admission or exclusion of testimony at a voir dire examination.
Subdivision 1.Entering judgment; judgment roll.
When judgment upon a conviction is rendered, the court administrator shall enter the judgment upon the minutes, stating briefly the offense for which the conviction was had. The court administrator shall then immediately attach together and file the papers specified in clauses (1) to (5). The judgment roll consists of the papers specified in clauses (1) to (5):
(1) a copy of the minutes of challenge made by the defendant to the panel of the grand jury, or to an individual grand juror, and the proceedings and decisions on the challenges;
(2) the indictment or complaint and a copy of the minutes of the plea or motion to dismiss or to grant appropriate relief;
(3) a copy of the minutes of a challenge made to the panel of the trial jury or to an individual juror, and the proceedings and decision on the challenge;
(4) a copy of the minutes of the trial; and

When collected, the disbursements of ordered prosecution costs shall be paid to the municipality or subdivision of government which employed the prosecuting attorney or otherwise provided for prosecution of the case. This payment may not interfere with the payment of officers', witnesses', or jurors' fees.

70-year-old hurt in plane crash
A 70-year-old pilot was seriously injured when the plane he was flying crashed Monday at about 6 p.m. near Airport Road in South Glengarry.
The lone occupant of the C-Plane "Buckeneer" was located about four hours later in a wooded area southwest of the Cornwall Regional Airport.
Ontario Provincial Police officers and emergency medical services personnel were exposed to aviation fuel and fumes and were subsequently sent to hospital where they were treated and later released.
The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) and Ministry of Environment (MOE) were notified and will be involved in the fuel clean-up.
This incident prompted a massive search involving various law enforcement agencies on both sides of the border. The Joint Rescue Coordinator Center (JRCC) at 8-Wing CFB Trenton, three marine units from the RCMP, OPP and the Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service, as well as a helicopter from the New York State Police, searched the area.

Time to step up
The Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation is hoping the community's overwhelming generosity continues as it wraps up an important leg of a half-million dollar fundraising campaign.
"Back in the latter part of June, we had someone, a local patron, who told that us that whatever we could raise during those last two weeks (of the month), and in July, August and September, he would match...up to a maximum of $100,000," HGHM Foundation Board chairman Barry MacDonald told The News this week.
"So we're trying to get the word out that this is the last couple of weeks to get those matching donations, so any contributions made by the end of September will be doubled."
To date, the matching donations have totalled $79,000.

Some of the characters have died in the show but still living in the books, for example: Khal Drago's friend Mago, Pyp and Gren for Night's Watch and Jojen Reed the Warg.
The White Walkers take new-borns from Craster's and change them to baby white walkers in the show but we did not read anything about changing in the books. This is either a spoiler from the future books or just added for the show.
We could not see Coldhands and Stoneheart in the show. Most of the fans are waiting to see at least one of the Coldhands or Stoneheart but none of them shown in the show. In the books, Bran was saved by a mysterious character name Coldhands and Catelyn was transformed to Lady Stoneheart after dead. There is still a chance to see both of them in the show.
Most of the characters is way too young in the books but much older in the show. Daenerys was 13 when she has married to Khal Drago and Jon Snow was just 14 when he dedicates his life to the Wall.

What changes to expect in season five. Probably this, fifth, season will diverge from the books much more than the previous seasons.
Sir Gregor Clayne or The Mountain is returning from the dead,
Catelyn Stark has gone and seems to be no Lady Stoneheart for the fifth season,
Tyrion and Daenerys have joined too early in the shows,
Varys was just disappearing in the books but in the show he has joined with Tyrion,
Jon Connington and Aegon Targaryen will not be in the fifth season, hope to see them in the sixth season. Thinking the show will be 10 seasons, probably they will be in sixth or seventh seasons.
Jaime Lannister and Bronn was heading down to Dorne instead of lifting the siege at Riverrun.
Kingsmoot and Iron Islands probably will be shown in the sixth season,

The fifth season will spoil the books. David Beniof said in Oxford Union that they will change the course of the events in the show but eventually will meet at the same point.
Luckily, we've been talking about this with George for a long time, ever since we saw this could happen, and we know where things are heading. And so we'll eventually, basically, meet up at pretty much the same place where George is going; there might be a few deviations along the route, but we're heading towards the same destination. I kind of wish that there were some things we didn't have to spoil, but we're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. The show must go on… and that's what we're going to do.

New corporate income tax law aims to halt tax evasion
In the latest draft of Law on Corporate Income Tax, the Ministry of Finance has raised a regulation aimed at preventing multinational companies with related-party transactions from evading taxes.

Hanoi (VNA) - In the latest draft of Law on Corporate Income Tax, the Ministry of Finance has raised a regulation aimed at preventing multinational companies with related-party transactions from evading taxes.
According to the proposed regulation in the amended draft, the part of interest expense that exceeds 20 percent of the company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) will not be subject to tax deduction.
The ministry said several foreign-invested companies operating in real estate, trade and services, for example, reported losses despite posting growths in revenue and expanding their businesses.
Looking at their financial reports, the ministry found that one of the reasons for the loss was the huge sum of interest expense the parent companies needed to pay.
Experts said the cap on interest expense for tax reduction would help prevent transfer pricing and tax evasion.
Economic expert Nguyen Tri Hieu said the fight against transfer pricing and tax evasion had been a headache for many years. If the regulation was included in the CIT law, tax evasion could be prevented, Hieu said.
He also said the cap on interest expense for tax reduction should be applied to companies that had related-party transactions and differences in CIT rates among members.
Meanwhile, the latest draft has removed a proposed regulation about thin capitalisation that was raised in the previous draft which largely met with opposition because it might have caused more difficulty for businesses.
The finance ministry had previously proposed that the part of interest expense for loans which exceeded five times the company's equity would not be deducted from tax.
According to the Vietnam Tax Consultants' Association, this regulation, if passed, will cause a lot of difficulties for companies whose equity was not enough to maintain their business.
The more they borrowed, the more tax they would have to pay. And if they did not borrow, they would not have capital to do business, the association said.-VNA

Venice in tourism dilemma
Karl Smallman (Web Manager)
Tuesday, June 6, 2017 - 9:00 am
IT WAS back in June 2015 within days of the new mayor of Barcelona taking up her post, that Ada Colau stated one of her aims was to introduce a limit on the number of tourists to "stop the city becoming Venice". The Italian holiday hotspot appears to be taking notice of what she said two year ago…
Venetian authorities have said they are bringing in a series of new measures to stop the snowballing of fast-food outlets that are claimed as being "not compatible" with the heritage of the city. The new law which was passed last week has banned the opening of any new kebab shops, fast-food outlets and even selling pizza by the slice in the popular tourist destination. However, the law doesn't affect establishments selling artisanal ice cream.
"We want to put the brakes on types of activities which are not compatible with the preservation and development of Venice's cultural heritage," said Paola Mar, Tourism Chief of Venice. She stressed that she didn't have any problem with people eating outside but consumption of takeaway food in St Mark's Square is prohibited.
"The problem is that with a tourist city like ours, there is a risk of it losing its identity," she continued. "There are local products that we must try to promote, this would be better for the spirit of the city and, at an environmental level, would be more sustainable."
Back in November 2016, the Mayor of Florence was sued for $20m by McDonald's after he refused to let them open one of their restaurants. The proposal was refused by the Mayor saying: "McDonald's has the right to submit an application, because this is permitted under the law, but we also have the right to say no."
In a statement to the BBC at the time, McDonald's said, "We completely agree that the cultural and artistic heritage and the Italian historical town centres have to be protected and guaranteed, as well as the traditions and the historical small shops, but we cannot accept discriminatory regulations that damage the freedom of private initiative without being advantageous to anyone."
Last year too, Verona banned the opening of new kebab shops in the Italian city, while Florence had clamped down on "foreign food" after ruling that all new restaurants and food shops in the city should ensure that at least 70% of their produce is local.
The tourist influx angered the city and messages that read: "Tourists go away!!! You are destroying this area!" were circulated and posted as graffiti around the affected areas.

Maybe it's a bit in bad taste basing a game around the world's worst nuclear disaster, but naysayers were shocked into silence when Stalker booted up on their PCs. Battling mutant factions around the wreckage of Chernobyl's power plant, oppressively bleak landscapes gave way to some of the most unsettling interior sequences we've ever experienced in a game.
The Fallout series adds retro-futurism to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s atomic Darwinism. It is set in the 23rd century. After a nuclear war arose in the second half of the 21st century between America and China, the survivors have taken refuge in sealed vaults underground. They later emerge and struggle to rebuild society. The retro-futuristic aesthetic of the game constantly refers to the the dawn of atomic culture from the 1940s and 1950s.

To see the animated game version of the Fallout 1 speech with the Master, go here. It depicts a creepy demise for the antagonist, a character that defends the "new age of Mutants" against the Normals (who "brought nuclear death to us all") and Ghouls. When the player proves that the Mutants are sterile and cannot form the basis for a new "master race," the Master is defeated.

Yeah. Just so long as it isn't training for real life in the future.
Hi guys! Sorry to bother you, but I really want to show my boyfriend's videogame project.
Android devices but he's working to include also other operating systems.
We'd be glad if you could please download it and give us your opinion!


I'm looking at purchasing some TechSpec pads for the sides of my gas tank however, I'm still on the fence for what I should place down the middle of my tank for protection. I've used the cheaper progrip tank pads in the past on other bikes but I'm wondering what pads/shapes/styles you guys have down the center on your bikes?
Get the Honda hrc one, looks nice in carbon effect.
Or get the matching Tech Spec piece.


Does this sentence sound OK?
Thread: Does this sentence sound OK?
Hi, Could you tell if this sentence sounds OK in English?
"I can't help but being ahead of schedule"
Re: Does this sentence sound OK?
It sounds just about right. You can say: I can't help but be ahead, or I can't help being ahead. But not a mixture of the two.
Does the sentence sound natural?


Yummy Mummy or Boring Bob?
I am at an age where I'm old enough to be someone's mother. I am actually a mother as I have two kids. What I mean is that I am now old enough to be the mother (maybe even grandmother) of the generation I consider to be 'young', the wannabes, the men and women who will be our next future. And that makes me feel old. Listen closely enough and I can sometimes be heard uttering the telling phrase: "Policemen are so young these days". What's a girl woman to do when she finds herself at the top of a slippery slope grabbing on for dear life with her stubby fingernails?
I'm not a big fan of health and beauty magazines aimed at women. They're very pretty to look at and sometimes even include an interesting feature amidst their trivialisation of women (under the guise of empowerment of course). They have the ability to tweak the love handles and poke the pimples of anyone harbouring a dash of insecurity. One day they could even be the cause of my daughter valuing lipstick over the human race. It was to my horror then that I found myself reaching for the latest issue of the Boots Health & Beauty magazine looking for inspiration and solace. Such depths of self-pity had I reached.
Louise may have been smiling in the photo but it was a desperate cry for help and it struck a chord. My two children are now old enough that I can start to reclaim my body safe in the knowledge that I'm not planning a pregnancy that will come and b*gger it all up again. Like Louise, I will become a school runner from September when my oldest starts to drag me daily into the snake pit that I'm led to believe the school playground to be. Oh clever, clever Boots magazine! Louise could be me. I was practically ripping open the laptop to order the magical products prescribed to cure lovely Louise of her baggy mumsiness.
Most exciting of all was the discovery that I was already halfway there to achieving the status of aged, yet desirable, woman. I have a bob. There was me thinking I had a boring old haircut. But no, look in the mirror again and feel the power of the bob. According to Lord Trevor of Sorbie, Louise's 'hair expert' in the article, a razored bob is the way forward: "Trust me – a shorter style will help turn back the clock". I trust you Trevor, I trust you.
Only sad, desperate old women over 35. The bob: the blue-rinse for the 30-something generation. How we'll laugh at them behind their backs when they ask for a cut a bit more 'Ann Hathaway' and we tell them that a bob would much better flatter their face shape. It hides the wrinkles and the jowls, darling. Know thy place.
The world of women's magazines yet again reveals just how superficial it can be. Whilst I am frightened by the industry's output and the negative impact it can have on self image, I am even more frightened that there are people (usually women) writing this content and failing to see the hypocrisy of it. Scarier still is if they are producing the content in full knowledge of their influence but are choosing to subjugate any twinges of sisterly solidarity. Of course these magazines have their place and should never be taken too seriously (indeed, I feel I am getting a bit serious here and may need to pause to adjust my blue stockings). But the potential of even the most lightweight and frivolous of magazines to do harm should never be underestimated. Especially by an old duffer with a bob like me.
Everyone loves a good wedding. A touching ceremony followed by watching the happy couple's life savings being eaten, drunk and danced into a sticky carpet. Picture the bride in the months before: doe-eyed, flipping through wedding magazines, pasting her ideas on Pinterest. Maybe she'll surf the web for tricks to make her day just that little bit more special. Maybe she'll do something far less virtual and visit a wedding fair – the chance to mix with other couples planning their own Big Day, visit supplier stands and generally watch your bank balance plummet. Unfortunately, wedding fairs are far from the glorious champagne-tinged day out with your soul mate that you would expect. Welcome to the pressure dome.
A colleague of mine recently visited the London Wedding Show, held in the most romantic of settings – London Excel. Rather than ending the day basking in the glow of romance, I sense that she returned with a look of bewilderment and a sense of fear. Extortionate prices, unaffordable (and probably undrinkable) champagne and being elbowed out of the way by women wanting wedding cakes in the shape of unicorns (yes, really) don't make for a pleasantly memorable day. "But," I asked, "I bet there were lots of freebies?" Apparently not. Unless of course you count the free sachets of low calorie sugar and diet pills. Yes, DIET PILLS. Tradition clearly hasn't made it into the 21st century.
Something to make me less fat. I can't think of anything I'd rather have nestled in a sponsored plastic bag that my other half can carry around awkwardly as I ponder favours and they wonder what's for tea. What better way to boost my confidence as I head towards one of the few days in my life when I will be the focus of everyone's attention. Thanks to the diet pills – so kindly gifted – they won't be focusing on my enormous derriere or the roll of flab that my bodice has shoved up under my armpits. Pop a couple of pills and my self-esteem will rise as high as the pure white doves we'll be releasing.
What the jiggins were the organisers thinking? Shame on the women loitering by the wedding cake stands – don't you realise that cake will make you a fat and ugly bride?
The notion of crash dieting before a wedding in order to be 'beautiful' is, of course, no real surprise. I'm sure we all know someone who has done it. But that doesn't make it right and those organisations selling the 'perfect wedding' really ought to open their disco ball-dazzled eyes and start acting more responsibly. Extreme dieting by women preparing for their wedding has even been given a name: brideorexia. (Search for that term on Yahoo and note the sponsored ads promoting weight loss that appear next to the articles – irony in motion.) Is it any wonder that what starts out as a campaign to look 'good' for one day can potentially lead to a serious long-term eating disorder?
Statistics estimate that in the UK at least 1.1 million people suffer from an eating disorder. Most at risk of developing a disorder are young people aged 14-25 years. As someone who has experienced an eating disorder and as a parent, the idea of diet pills being handed out at a wedding fair fills me with disgust and a desire to shake some sense into someone. Of course, wedding fairs alone are not responsible for creating eating disorders but they do a damn good job of magnifying the negative self-imagery that can set women, men, boys and girls on a spiral of misery. I've seen my 4-year-old pull her t-shirt up in front of a mirror and tell me that she's worried her tummy looks fat. A 4-year-old. I'll do everything I can to ensure she loves the body she's in but with so many external influences to contend with I am left wondering whether it's a battle too big to truly win.
