Dollface

I started this blog as a handy way to put the word out about my book and to do one better - elaborate if not even improve upon the content by staying up on the latest and strangest in interesting, weird wedding culture.

Except, I think the blog has lost a bit of focus. There are bundles of really well written and researched wedding blogs that cover fashion and flower arrangement and shoes, yet mine is not supposed to be one of them. Somehow my blog has started to feel less like a wacky culture commentary than a shill for InStyle Weddings.

That's not to say that I won't be talking about a fabulous place to get hitched or a rockin gown or a fabulous makeup artist, say, like Jackie Brubaker.

In anticipation of my trip to LA this weekend, I wanted to give a little a shout-out to my friend and president of Dollface Hair and Makeup Artists Jackie Brubaker. If you are getting married in that part of the world, stop what you are doing and run to her website See? Even the website is darlin. Interested in looking like a goddess on your big day? Jackie is your girl. Not only does she have oodles of experience - hello American Idol? - Her fun and laid back approach to life makes her, well, a doll to be around.

Today I bring you a kickass vendor you need to know about. Tomorrow, I'm thinking the history of ritual sacrfice in weddings. Or cake. We'll see.
