This Week's Mind + Body Buzz - June 13, 2008

In this week's edition: High-maintenance brides who think UsWeekly will be photographing them, treatment for those who self-diagnose via Google and why the public is commenting on a computer geek's weight loss.

High-Maintenance Brides Go Hollywood on Everyone


The average woman may not want an abbreviated Hollywood marriage, but she wants to look as flawless as a celebrity bride. “Movie-star syndrome” has hit brides-to-be, says the Minneapolis Post, and to pull it off, these wedding-bound women are engaging in extra, costly measures that go beyond the standard hair test run. Now it’s all about Botox (on the face to iron out wrinkles, plus under the arms to prevent sweating). One woman opted to get 10 porcelain veneers — at $900 a pop! Steep diets have always been part of the wedding prescription, but one local seamstress said that right before a bride’s big day, it is common for her to cinch the bride’s dress by two sizes — which amounts to a 40-lb weight-loss! Photos last forever, but is a high dose of Hollywood to blame for these lofty expectations — or would you do the same if you were getting hitched?

My Friday the 13th lived up to its stigma. I had someone wreck my car at 9 am. No one was hurt, except my car, but now I am stuck in a rental that sucks and my beautiful car, even if it is repaired correctly, will never be the same. I still cannot wait to get it back. Between 9 am and noon I had my childrens Day Care called five times to come and pick up my youngest because she had a slight fever due to cutting teath and allergies, nothing serious or contageous. On any normal day I would have been there within 15 minutes of the first call, but I had no car. My husband is legally blind, so I am the only driver. I kept telling them that "I DID NOT HAVE A CAR!", and they kept calling. The wreck did not upset me that much, there was nothing I could do, but when I had to constantly explain to the people taking care of my child that I had no way of picking her up, that frustrated me. My day was done at noon, my husband and I called it a day, took my youngest home and picked up my oldest around 5:30 pm. She had a good day =)
