Off with his head!
Leave it to a blogger who goes by the name NYC Sassy Girl to uncover the latest trend in drunken debauchery, voodoo dolls, and penis pinatas…and no, I’m not talking about just another Tuesday night at Jessica Cutler’s.
Divorce Parties are the latest fad among urban 30-somethings (tucked somewhere between “starter marriages” and adopting a puggle).
As usual, the Brits have one-upped us, already marketing a kit containing divorce party essentials such as “a plastic ball and chain and an inflatable toyboy in a tin” as well as a flashy banner that reads “Delighted to be divorced.”
Decapitated bridegrooms and off-key renditions of “I Will Survive” are all well and good, but what about the ex-bride’s single girl friends?
Speaking for bridesmaid-but-never-a-bride’s everywhere, NYC Sassy Girl cuts to the heart of this disturbing trend:
Now these %^*% married people get engagement parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, baby showers, baby births, and now they get another freakin’ party?!?! With theme music?!? And specialized paper plates?!?!
F—- THAT! I want a party where I get my gift back. Since I usually give money, it shouldn’t be that hard. I figure that my gift of money (also for births of children) was an investment in their future. Sort of guaranteeing that this couple (and their child) would be there to go out with me, dinners, movies, etc. Generally, take care of me. Entertain me. So, when these agreements dissolve, I want my money back. With interest.
I’m every woman, indeed.
