Vera Wang is the Devil

Hssss it's the she devil

I know Vera Wang is really not the devil, BUT...

I was trying my darnest to avoid her, just 'cause she has been the sought after designer by thousands of sharp tooth fang brides. I tried to avoid her at all costs. I must've tried on a hundred dresses and, if you know me, you know how picky I am. I was looking for something different, but always sexy. I was on the search for magic in the sky! Their was the tight Lazaro dress with the ostrich feathers that caught my eye. Their was the Monique Lhuillier lace dress that was just amazing on me, but it emulated a virginal sacrifice. A virgin-by any length-was not me.

I entered the doors of Saks Fifth. This was the first time I had step foot in Saks 5. I was expecting gold ceilings and diamond chandeliers with old shriveled salespeople raising their little snoots to the sky. Not at all. I headed to the Bridal Salon to meet with my consultant. I was looking for sheath, tight, princess cut dress made with a light fabric, because I was getting married in the dead of heat. So after three dresses she slipped on this silky dress that was designed for aphrodite herself. I know I didn't look like aphrodite, but god damn I felt like a goddess as soon as I slipped it on. Mind you I'm not looking at the tag which furnishes the designer and the damage.

Every woman nags me, "you will know the perfect dress as soon as you try it on!" Well, I had that ecstatic feeling. I exclaimed to the consultant that this is the one. I checked the tag for the price and it was $3,200. Okay, I know that $3,200 was not a lot for woman that have dreamed to be a princess on their wedding, since a child. I was not that female. I wanted simply sexy and sophisticated and this is the thanks that I get. The consultant advised that if I open a Saks Fifth card, it was ten percent off. The taxes would be omitted, because the wedding was in Hawaii.

My sisters and I left for coffee to think things over. Laurie and Chris suggested that this dress had been the best one yet. I was obsessed that there had to be another dress that was better and cheaper. I could not justify the cost of the dress. Yes, it's once in a lifetime, but once in my life I think I could spend money on a trip abroad, or a down payment on a new car or just plain savings account.

I had swerved to avoid the Vera Wang virus. Here I was bedazzled by one of her dresses.

Oh V. Wang why do you vex me so?
