For the gladiatrix on the go

By Never teh Bride

Gladiator!

Even if I would look like the white whale if I wore one, I love this year’s Reem Acra gowns. I don’t so much love the 2004 or 2003 collections. In 2003, the lace and organza bridal bikini was hidden among the almost more realistic gowns. And, in 2004, Ms. Acra introduced the dresses for the helmeted gladiatrix on the go who wants to read her vows and then get back to slaying lions, tigers and, naturally, big, sweaty men as quickly as possible.

    Is she straightening her chain mail?

    Maybe she’s adjusting her iron underwear!

    Iron wedgies would suck… but WTH kind of skirt is that supposed to be? A bubble? Uggh. This wouldn’t be too bad if it were a normal ballet length skirt, and you tossed the silly shackles and whatever that ugly thing on her head is.

    Oh my gawd. Are those supposed to be the bonds of matrimony?

    The shackles of love!
