Fruit de la Passion - Brazilian Lingerie
By Bernie on 10 Dec 2008
It seems that there are fewer and fewer children at weddings. At least the ones I get invited to. I have even received invitations to a few where it was explicitly requested that no children come at all. But barring extenuating circumstances, I turn down weddings that do not want children attending. A wedding should celebrate family. Sadly, families today have very few children or no children at all. I exclude, of course, immigrant families, especially Muslim ones.
At both my sons' weddings we had children, loads of children, and the weddings were more fun because of it.
But I have to say, that after more than 5 decades of attending weddings, I have become mostly bored with them. The ceremony, the reception with their boiler plate buffet, drinks, dinner, dancing, band, toasts, garter and bouquet toss, wedding cake cutting, photo slideshows, and glass-clinking make me wonder if nature intended for man to live beyond 60 years in age. I pity the poor shlub in the year 8008 who, at the age of 210, has attended more than a thousand weddings, many for his friends who got married at the age of 150.
I suppose next, wedding planners will have game consoles at every table to keep the younger guests from being completely zoned out at the event. For me, a video screen at every seat as they do on JetBlue airlines would be very welcome and for the same reasons. Airplane travel may have been exciting at one time, but now the only thing more boring may be watching turtles copulate.
I did have fun at one wedding of a friend where the theme was Star Wars and the Bride and Groom were captured by Imperial Troopers. But these are rather the exception.
Aside from children-prohibited weddings, I also absolutely avoid those where smoking is allowed, although more and more venues now outlaw smoking and so it's easier for the bride and groom not having to prohibit it themselves and garner bad will from the few smokers still left in their families.
As for what extenuating circumstances will cause me to attend weddings at which smoking is permitted or where children are prohibited, click on the photo above for a larger, NSFW view.
For a description of the Brazilian company, Fruit de la Passion, that designs this lingerie, Rene at the Lingerie Post tells us:
Cecilia Bourdon and Marie Alba Romeu are the sisters behind the Brazilian brand Fruit de la Passion. The sisters graduated with degrees in Fine Arts and masters in Marketing. They spent years working for various fashion and lingerie companies in Brazil and France. The sisters decided there was a market for high end lingerie in Brazil and began the company in 1994.
The duo produces two distinct product lines: Opera Diva and Grand Finale. The Opera Diva has several collections and is the vehicle for Fruit’s fine lingerie products. Grand Finale has fewer collections and is mostly ‘comfortable’ sleepwear. I’m entranced by the Opera Diva line. It has so many great pieces.
Here is a photo of one of those great pieces (again NSFW):
It should be noted that the image at the top of this post was taken from a Brazilian TV show but since this is Puritanical America, I must give a NSFW advisory for my readers.
Disclaimer: I do not receive any revenues or reimbursement for mentioning this lingerie company, although I would appreciate it if they sent me a few photos of some of their models that were considered even too hot for their Brazilian audience.
