Bowie's Got A Brand New Bag + A New Bee [High]ve.

The Bowie Bride was in need of a Major [Tom] face lift. I needed to clean it up. Give it a better look. Develop a more cohesive concept. And I'm proud to announce that after racking my brain, I have come up with so many exciting new ideas for The Bowie Bride Blog that I'm peeing my funky sequin spacesuit in excitement. Here's what I can share with you now:

1. We have a new banner, complete with not one but TWO androgynous Bowie photos. A fun representation of my need to NOT adhere to traditional gender roles. In life and in weddings. (Deep. I know.)
   
2. We have a new slogan, inspired by Bowie's galactic masterpiece, Space Oddity: "Floating down the aisle in the most pe-cu-li-ar way." A perfect fit for our far-out ideas and down-to-earth budget.
   
3. I bought the royalties to an illustrated "crack pipe" icon, so that this whole Weddingbee Padordee series can start to look more legit. A HUGE thank you to bride blogger Sebrina [at] Mismikado's Journey Down the Aisle for finding me the cutest little crack pipe graphic I've ever seen! I would have never found it without you :)
   
4. I've gotten such a positive response from my Miss Crack Pipe posts that I decided to totally run with it. So I have been GOING TO TOWN trying to brand my Weddingbee Parodee Series. This is what I've come up with so far:
   

Our 'icons' will be referred to as 'pieces' from here on out.
So say hello to Miss Crack Pipe's new "piece."

Then say hello to the OFFICIAL title of Bowie Bride's new Weddingbee Parodee Series:

"The Bee [High]ve"
It's Weddingbee. On Crack.

Introducing blogger brides with real stingers:
The [Killer] Bees

What do you think?!

"The Bee [High]ve," as it stands, will feature me, Miss Crack Pipe. And hopefully in the near future, I'll add a few more [Killer] Bees to the [high]ve. Once I iron out a few more details, I'll make the call for 'submissions' (lol. Submissions? When did I get so legit?) I think for now, I'll be looking for brides having fun weddings and who carry a major, MAJOR [Tom] sense of humor. I want you to blog about your real wedding, but totally blown-up and exaggerated for comedy purposes. So yeah. You have to be funny because for now, the purpose of this series within The Bowie Bride Blog is merely for humorous enjoyment.

In the the future, I am absolutely game for launching a real "Bee [High]ve" site with a more serious intent to feature real bride bloggers with their own Miss or Mrs. "piece." A place where a bride's wedding AND writing style can be as foul-mouthed, far-out, and f-cked up as they 'wannabee'. Sort of the anti-Weddingbee. One with a sense of humor. One that isn't owned by a discriminatory dating site called eHarmony.

Let me just tell you right now that it would truly BEE a dream come true to see this realized. So if you guys are in, mama's gonna go full throttle on this sh-t. That's right, [Bee]otches. Us blogger brides are trading in our striped yellow cardigans for black leather biker jackets. So look out and let the fun begin...

And please, if you have any thoughts or suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
