For The Woman Whose Knees Need Accessorizing, CherrieCherrie

Susannah BreslinAugust 5, 2010 //

Tired of boring, unaccessorized knees? Sick of naked kneecaps? Dying for a way to make your knees speak volumes? Well, worry and wonder no more, for CherrieCherrie knee accessories are here, and “now your knees can talk!” (Oh, but what will they say?) If you’re familiar with garters, you get the idea. Back in ye olde days, garters were worn below the knee, not the thigh, and CherrieCherries are the same. They come in a variety of styles, and stockings aren’t required. Would we wear them?

But, hey, if it’s your thing, you’re in luck — the weapon-themed lingerie is on sale for $10.50! [Spicy Lingerie via ideeli]

Raise Your Hand If You Think Wedding Traditions Are Stupid

Catherine StrawnJune 23, 2008 //

Traditions can be a great way to make occasions special, but don’t you kind of wonder who came up with these crazy things? Mental Floss has a great post about the origin of wedding traditions, and after reading them, I am way less into keeping them. Why should I wear white just because Queen Victoria did? [MentalFloss.com]

  • Women used to wear whatever dress was the nicest in their closet until Queen Victoria wore a white dress trimmed with orange blossoms for her wedding to her first cousin, Prince Albert (gross). Tradition worth upholding? Nah, we don’t all look good in white anyway.

  • On her new album, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy sings of 30 lovers and compares a man to heroin from Afghanistan and Colombian cocaine.

Also, on the album cover, her name is Carla Bruni, not Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. [Reuters]
