It should be clear by now that I’m not a huge fan of Kim Kardashian.  I am, however, a huge fan of Vera Wang.  In case you’ve been living under a rock (or you happen to spend your time bettering your mind by reading books rather than watching E! News), you are well aware that Kim will be donning Vera for her big day.  You would also know that a custom Vera Wang gown would set you back at least a cool $10K.  Luckily, when your wedding budget is a mere $29 million, ten grand is nothing!

But for the rest of us, a ten thousand dollar dress might hurt our wallets.  No need to worry though.  Earlier this year, Vera Wang partnered with David’s Bridal to create a more affordable option for blushing brides everywhere.  White by Vera Wang ranges from $600-$1400 and looks like it could sit on the rack right next to her luxury bridal line.  So, if you’re in the market for a beautiful bridal gown, or you just like to look, check out White by Vera Wang for David’s Bridal:

Congrats to the newlyweds.

It’s true, most people have a “type” which might consist of words like “tall”, “blonde”, or “athletic” but it’s very rare that someone has a type so terribly specific that it seems as though he’s dating twins.  Well, let’s give Reggie Bush a warm round of applause because he has take the term “type” to a whole new level.

Now, I swore I was done talking about Kim K on WhyDid, but this was too startling to ignore.  While Ms. Kardashian has clearly moved on from her breakup with New Jersey Nets player, Kris Humphries… (Have you seen her rock? Have you seen her registry?) It seems as though Reggie is stuck on repeat.  It raised eyebrows when he was rumored to be dating “model” Mayra Vernoica, but recently he stepped out with a lady so strikingly similar to his ex, Kim, that people started to wonder if this was merely a coincidence or totally creepy.

You may remember Melissa Molinaro from the Old Navy ad that had everyone talking about what a resemblance she had to the curvy Kardashian.  I remember her from the terrifically tacky but oh so addicting The Pussycat Dolls Present Girlicious.

So this begs me to ask: Is Reggie simply a man who knows what he likes or is he settling for a Kim K replacement?

A certain ample bottomed celebrity who will remain nameless (we have a zero tolerance policy here at WhyDid) recently announced her engagement to a 26 year old NBA basketball player.  I hate to be a naysayer when it comes to love, but this marriage has about the same chance of surviving as a snow cone does in hell.  Now, now… I know what you’re thinking: give the kids a chance.  I would like to be proven wrong, but the cards are stacked against them.

I, myself, have dabbled in the “field” of professional athletes.  While it was nothing serious, and my  heart was left unscathed, I realize now how naive I had been back then.  Seeing as I’m not an avid sports fan, when I’d met the gentleman I had no idea who he was, let alone his occupation (as a matter of fact I think he told me he was a DJ).  All I knew was that he was good looking and I was 21 and single in the city.  We lived far apart, so we didn’t see each other much.  I’d be a fool to think there weren’t at least twenty more of me scattered around the states.  But, alas, a fool I was.  It was flattering and fun to tell my girlfriends, so I continued to play the game.  I will never forget waiting downstairs for him after a game with the rest of the “wives” thinking A). how underdressed I was and B). how ridiculous it all was.  After seeing the girls hanging around hotels and stadiums, and garnering nasty glares from girls when we were out, it made me realize that all of this was a lot less innocent than dating your average frat boy.

I’ve heard countless stories and seen with my own pretty eyes athletes behaving badly.  (Perhaps even one such story involving the newly affianced).  Ample amounts of money and cleavage make for a deadly combination.  The odds are stacked against these athletes with groupies, gold diggers, away games, and schedules that are just not conducive to a healthy relationship. With 60-80% of marriages ending in divorce, NFL players are well above the national average (this statistic holds true for comparable sports).  I’ll be the first to admit I’m crazy jealous, so I’m not sure how pro-athletes’ wives deal with all the temptation awaiting their handsome hubbies.  Are the trips and shoes and status enough to make up for it?

Many couples have tried, but not many have been successful.  Have you seen an episode of Basketball Wives?  So, would you be willing to place a wager on such a dating gamble?

He shoots. He scores!

While in the checkout line the other day, my fiance asked me, “Babe, who is that?” while pointing at the cover of a glossy tabloid.  I looked over my shoulder quickly and answered, “Jessica Alba.”

I looked again at the headline and was baffled.  What wedding?  Only then did I notice that it was not, in fact, the lovely Jessica Alba.  I stared harder.

But, of course.  It was the tabloid queen, Kim Kardashian.  I had never thought that Kim and Jessica looked alike, however, this magazine cover was like looking at Jess’s twin sister.  This got me to thinking about a couple of things.  One being that Hollywood and the magazines who love it are spending far too much time in post production fixing up photos.  The other is the sad amount of cosmetic procedures taking place every single day.  Not only (but mainly) in La La Land, but all over the country.  Why is it that everyone is trying to look like some sort of predetermined perfect mold of a woman?  When did having a little bit of facial character become such a bad thing?  Isn’t there anything to be said for having your own “look”?  What’s the point of being famous if you’re being mistaken for someone else?

I think the moral of the story here, kids, is to love the way you look and emphasize your differences rather than try and hide them.
