Divorce Photoshoot

[singingsea]

Yeah what is the point? Great you finally left your ex. Be happy about it. I don't see the point in a photo shoot that's honestly a little disturbing.

[pismoduo]

I don't mind the general idea, but hers is weird.

I'd be ok with like a trash the dress thing, or with something that makes it like she's starting out on a new adventure or something like that.

[LadyNymeria]

Not inspirational at all. If she wants the pictures for herself, fine, but it just feels like a grab for attention. And agreed that it's a bit disturbing.

Yes. I don't think I'd be as "da fuq" if it were done like that. But the bat with icing and the knife? Home girl looks cray.

And really, how many pictures of her tearing up photos does she really need?

I think that's my problem with it - it seems extreme.

I like pismoduo's thought on doing it with a focus starting a new adventure, starting over, something like that. Less crazy.

You girls have said pretty much everything I was thinking.

This. The idea of it doesn't seem that weird for me especially if it helps you but the pictures don't convay that, to me that just make her seem angry and mean.

AH! I kept thinking the whole thing seemed oddly familiar, and now I realize the images felt like they could have come straight out of one of those crazy ex-girlfriend type music videos.

I agree with all of you guys. I mean, have a party, maybe trash the dress or whatever, but button it down before you end up a candidate for an episode of "Snapped."

[serendipity731]

I agree with y'all. I can also see how smashing the cake, tearing/burning pics or trashing the dress could be cathartic, but do you really need pics of it?

[hurricanerek]

I feel like this was such a waste of $$. Is she really going to frame any of these photos and hang them up on her walls? Doubt it.

Right? And, the point is you're moving on, yet you just spent a bunch of money to get pictures (keepsakes?) of it. I don't think she's over him.

[bennikki]

This doesn't say empowerment to me. It screams, "I'm still not over you, and I might come for you with a bat or a knife in my dominatrix get up, so watch out. Cuz I a crazy bitch!"

Empowering would be moving into your own place, going on vacation alone, or anything, ANYTHING that you hesitated to do without your partner.

[olive]

I feel like this is just attention seeking. Knowing a story like this would go viral she did the photos. It's weird and dumb.

I wonder if she was playing Alanis' "You Oughtta Know" throughout the photoshoot...

That is my jam.

AND I'M HEEEERRREEEE TO REMIND YOUUUUUU

FFTC: I always thought she was saying "cross eyed bear" until I bought the CD and it came with a lyrics sheet. I just figured it was some sort of carnival prize type of stuffed animal.

Also, speaking of Alanis, have you heard her acoustic version of Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps"?

It's hilarious.

Weird weird weird. Great publicity for her friend's photography business though (if you're looking for someone to take crazy pictures of you).

I legit LOL'ed at this. Probably bc I sang it like that in my head when I read it. That cd was my jam in jr high.

Inspiring and would have been a post-divorce photo shoot of her looking gorgeous and happy and ready to start her new life, with maybe one or two angry photos of wrecking the dress or tearing up a photo for laughs. This is just weird.
