I was talking with Shane (from A&E’s hit show King of Cars) yesterday about trash the dress. He’s getting married soon so of course was really excited when I told him a about it and showed some of my past TTD photos.

But what was funny was when he called his fiancé and hearing a guy try to describe trash the dress. The conversation went something like: “I’m talking to Chelsea here, and she does this cool thing called DESTROY the dress. Yeah, where we can just go destroy it!! Tear it up, or have the kids ruin it. Ya know, because you’re never going to use it again.”

LOL. Of course, I was like: “You can’t tell her that! She’ll never go for it!” But it was still fun watching how excited he got when explaining it.

Just in case that message wasn’t interpreted properly here’s my official explanation of the phenomenon we so lovingly call trash the dress/undressed/unbridal/antibridal:

Trash the dress really has to be seen rather than described. But if you had to describe it you could say, it’s an excuse to pull that gorgeous dress (that never thought it would see the light of day again) out of the closet, perfect your hair & makeup again, then go out on location to capture crazy, fun, and artistic photos that you wouldn’t dare take before the wedding! The best thing about this type of shoot is it really allows your personality to shine through since this is the one time it’s all about you!

So Shane – If you’re reading this, try that one on her and see if she’s interested.

Jayse brought me out for a surprise yesterday – and we winded up with an adorable addition to our little family!

She’s a cockapoo (cocker spaniel and poodle) mix so she has the poodle smarts. At only 8 weeks old she already knows how to play fetch and even use the doggie door! She even slept through the night – curled up in a little ball between us on the bed.

Before coming home last night, we all stopped by the pet shop where she picked out a brand new bed and some new toys to make adjusting to the new home a fun experience.

Though nobody could ever replace my Lexi, it will definitely be nice to have a little bundle of energy roaming through the home once again.

We’re still thinking of the perfect name… will update everyone on it very soon!
