The Feb. issue of the little magazine that could, Poptimist, is out: http://issuu.com/poptimist/docs/february
Our three issues have been solid (with only one major typo that I didn't catch in Dec.) and I hope we can keep it going.

Bargain hunting for wedding dress
I am determined to find a wedding dress for $200. I can go up to $500 but don't really want to. The prices for these dresses are ridiculous. I honestly can't justify shelling out $1000 for one day. I'd rather spend the money on a tropical honeymoon.
I've been scouring craigslist, resale dress websites, and bridal sites. No luck.
Making the search even more difficult is the fact that I don't want to wear a strapless gown. That leaves me with straps or short sleeves and what appears to be the gamut of "old lady" dresses. I had no idea that this would be an issue. I don't want to wear strapless because I'd end up adjusting it all the time. Have you ever seen a woman in a strapless top or dress who doesn't adjust it?
Most gowns are too fluffy or too adorned or show too much clevage or are just too much.
Oy!
