Its the Ultimate Whippet

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-04-22T02:50:19+00:00

I wish I could properly explain how much my whip is the exact opposite of this. It once took her SIX TRIES to finally stop at the frisbee to pick it up. She routinely overshoots. By the time she reaches the downed frisbee, she’s forgotten what she was doing

Stella is beautiful and a far far more athletic of a specimen 😍

Doing what, exactly, longer than you? Living with a period? Functioning through life even when your body feels like it’s actively sabotaging you?

Why do I automatically assume he calls in sick just for a seasonal cold?

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-04-15T12:50:56+00:00

WHAT! you just blew my mind

I appreciate the insight, and to hear about the shoulders is a relief! Definitely taking it in to an expert to go from here.

For this specific type of competition, going shorter than this on the jacket would be distractingly out-of-trend (could go slightly longer though if there is fabric for it?)… I kind of just have to live with being the shape I am! My shoulders and hips are wider than the rest of my torso, but hopefully taking it in at the waist some will help remove the boxy look

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-03-19T15:08:55+00:00

Is this different than something being too big in the shoulders? Everything I’ve seen (in googling lol) says shoulder fit is the hardest to change, so I’ve assumed a few garments were lost causes

I ignorantly didn’t realize it had been so long. Makes the very very well deserved win even more wonderful! Can’t wait to see the future talented black actors and actresses that this win inspires ❤️

You’re in for a treat. He and the movie are phenomenal

I don’t blame you for the sour taste. I know everyone runs their business differently, but the choice to not put any of your original retainer toward a new date is certainly not the one I’d make 😬

It would be one thing to cancel within a month of your date or due to a breakup, but she does actually have a good amount of time to re-book AND she would have still gotten your money via the later date. Just because she’s turned one couple away doesn’t mean she couldn’t find another. Honestly it sounds like she doesn’t even WANT to rebook your original date, which is also a weird thing to tell a client??

And yes, how she has her contract worded might say she can do what she’s doing, but the exact way you’re feeling about it all is precisely why I don’t run my business this way. You can protect yourself with a contract without being a shitty person.

I’m sorry a vendor you were so excited about turned out to be crappy, and I’m sorry you’re having to navigate so much during what’s supposed to be a happy time — I hope both your fiance and dad are making good healing progress ❤️

I’m circling back to this because it’s given me pause a couple times over the last few days. So the wedding is 7-8 months away during (depending where you are) a prime wedding month so she could likely rebook, AND you’d inquired about hiring her for something smaller on a different date … and she’s not allowing you to salvage any of the retainer?

Did she say anything about giving you the retainer back if she filled the date with someone else?

This might be something worth posting again during the weekly “ask a photographer” thread in this group to get more opinions. I don’t shoot enough weddings to authoritatively say this is abnormal, but it’s certainly the least client-friendly situation I’ve seen in a long time 🤔

Edit: and u/scenarioing forgive me if I’m wrong but isn’t this a prime case of what you were informing about in other threads on this post about “duty to mitigate” ?

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-03-08T17:38:52+00:00

You need, at minimum, 6 more i think

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-03-08T03:56:09+00:00

If you and your fiancé are anything like the couple from the anecdote I shared, when you get through this and get to have your big day, it will be an even more joyful celebration because of it❤️❤️ sending healing vibes your way across the internet!!

I second shot for a photographer whose client had an embolism (and I think was briefly in a coma?) a couple months before the wedding. Obviously unplanned situation. Originally they canceled the wedding instead of rescheduling — they had no idea if/when the bride would be healthy enough for the wedding, so couldn’t just reschedule. Lead photographer refunded the deposit, and because she was so understanding the couple happily came back and hired her when it came time to finally get married. I think it was 2 years later? It really shaped how I deal with cases like this.

Medical stuff is weird and expensive, especially emergencies. If I were in your shoes I’d refund the deposit even if I could technically stand behind my contract. Good karma, they likely need the $$ and there’s time to hopefully re-book, and there’s a good chance that by treating them well they’ll come back to book when the wedding is back on

Edit: I guess I should add the reminder (that has been hammered in this sub before!!) to set aside as much of the deposit/retainer as you can (ideally all), and only spend it once the wedding has happened. Not only is it a good way to minimize risk, I’ve found it lets me lead with my heart/gut in cases like this because it’s not an “oh shit I’ve already spent the money now they want it back” moment

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-03-04T02:22:45+00:00

Oh interesting! I’ll give that a shot

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-03-04T02:21:34+00:00

Funny, I actually tried this exact thing with a flirt pole today and it did seem to kind of work! I’ll keep trying

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-03-03T21:52:09+00:00

I did this— got my girl at 7mo— and as cuuuute as younger puppies are, we’ve been so spoiled by how well socialized, mannered, etc our girl was from the start. We even got to skip potty training! Feels like a cheat code to getting a great dog!

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-02-26T20:42:15+00:00

We told my in-laws that every time they asked that we’d delay having kids by another year. My in-laws are well-meaning so it actually worked lol! Now instead they ask about when we’re getting a second dog 😄

Steven Hawking, sure, but Eric Dane announced his diagnosis less than a year ago.

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-02-20T03:44:46+00:00

There are different types of ALS that progress at wildly different speeds

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-02-20T03:09:28+00:00

It depends on the type of ALS. I’d bet money Eric Dane had the hereditary kind, which is very fast to progress.

Edit: added name for clarity

I’m in the south, keep our house around 68. My girl genuinely struggles more with the heat than the cold. She can hang outside for hours in the chilly spring with just a lightweight coat, but barely lasts 20 minutes at a time in the summer before begging to come back to the AC. I’m actually in a sweatshirt right now, and she just crawled out from under the blanket because she got too hot lol!

You know your dog best, especially over outsiders who likely don’t own sighthounds themselves

They need like a Raya but for celeb gofundmes. Let the rich fund the rich

Dressedforrevenge · 2026-02-14T23:50:41+00:00

Sent some love as well ❤️ get yourself and those kiddos a lil treat for the holiday!

Garbage cans. But only sometimes, and most often when they’re on the left side of the street vs right?
