About Miss Candy Corn

I just spent a half hour browsing Google for “something blue” ideas for my friend’s wedding, when I discovered this beauty:

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Uh... Unexpectedly Blue :  wedding philadelphia Bridal 1 bridal-

Betty Beauty

I like to consider myself to be a pretty laid-back, alternative bride kinda gal, but this is just beyond my realm of comprehension. When I first stumbled upon the website, I was confused and wasn’t sure what I was looking at. I was like, aw cute, free wedding stencils! Then I tried to figure out what exactly they were being stenciled on, when I realized, OH MAH GAH, they are marketing to brides who they think should dye their coochies candy blue for their wedding day! Call me a pube prude, but something tells me this isn’t the kind of “something blue” my friend had been hoping for. Unless the groom-to-be has a Smurf fetish, I can’t really see the sense in splurging $20 for this. Even though it totally matches our wedding colors, I’m not willing to take my color theme obsession THAT far.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Uh... Unexpectedly Blue :  wedding philadelphia Betty B1 betty-b

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at Betty White in her blue sweater the same way again.

What kinds of wedding-related products have you found that have made you wonder, what can’t they market to brides?

okay, I can’t even bring myself to look at the website, but what troubles me most from the screencap is that it seems that this product has won awards! WTF?!?

THIS. IS. AMAZING. Candy corn, you win my LOL award of the day. Plus I’m going to spend all day long thinking about why someone would want to stencil the shape of a dove into the netherregions.

This reminds me of the SATC episode where Samantha is trying to cover a gray hair, and leaves the dye on too long. She corners Carrie in the bathroom and says “I am bozo the clown!”

That… is a BAD idea.

Bad product, bad!

I can see so many ways for it to go hilariously wrong…

All I can think of is the “Sex and the City” dyes her pubes!

This product is wrong in so many ways! But thanks for starting my day out with a laugh!

I don’t know if I’m more perplexed about why someone would do this in the first place, or why there are stencils involved.

This one get the ol’ W-O-W hand signs!
