I love this shot of my psychic day-cabbie friend Vera rocking her "Fuck Taffeta" offbeat t-shirt. She's even got a coordinating apron! So adorable.
Even cuter is how Vera admitted that she had no idea what taffeta even was before buying the shirt. She's not alone: familiarity with taffeta is seemes to be esoteric knowledge held primarily by those who obsessed over prom dresses in high school, and those who work in textiles/fashion. In the last year, I've met one man who was familiar with taffeta, and more than a few women who were like "taffy? feta cheese? what?"
Anyway, for those of you who have purchased offbeat t-shirts, I'd love to see you modeling them! You can either slap your photo on flickr and tag it "offbeat bride" or you can email your photo me.

When I mentioned your "fuck taffeta" t-shirts to my mom, she thought they referred to a TYPE of taffeta. Like there's pink taffeta, striped taffeta, and fuck taffeta. And now I can't stop wondering just what fuck taffeta would be….

Yeah, I'm making my bridesmaids wear taffeta, and I fully expect at least one of them to send me this shirt.
If only I had thought to order the dresses in fuck taffeta instead of blue.

…Then the questions becomes "If fuck was a color, what color might it be?"
Taffeta

Might have to get one of these, seeing as my name is Taffeta. And no I am not wearing my namesake at my wedding, nor are any of the bridesmaids.
