The show itself was a combination of Marchesa’s spring and fall collections, a parade of frothy and feathered creations that had the ladies swooning, not to mention a silent auction package that gave one lucky winner the chance to visit the Marchesa showroom and select a dress from Marchesa Notte, the duo’s diffusion line.

Incidentally, there is nothing called female polygamy, it is Polyandry - women marrying multiple husbands. While I wont go into the completely digusting factor of children beign married to men old enough to be their grandfathers, I ask what the difference is between Polygamy and Serial Monogamy? Nodbody ever sees any polyandry and I think it should be introduced into Western cilture.

Polygamy is wrong, people say but Serial Monogamy on the other hand is legitimate. Couples, under the marital bonds imposed by religion, are supposed to shun serial monogamy, which for them is divorce and remarriage. But with heterosexuals divorcing and remarrying at a greater rate than ever, many are serial monogamists. Ronald Reagan was a serial monogamist. So is Bob Dole. And Newt Gingrich, and Ivana Trump, Donald Trump, David Letterman, Larry King, Pamela Anderson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Britaney Spears, Halle Berry, you get the picture. Some marry several times while some marry and cheat, cheat,cheat.

Monogamy arose because economic hard times made having many wives prohibitively expensive or the,ratio of women to men was unfavorable and because many religions equated monogamy with sexual fidelity. It was religion that demanded monogamy between lovers be a lifelong bond from which the only escape was adultery.

Muslim men and other cultures have been allowed to take up to 4 wives and all of them must be well cared for. As long as the women are not forced into these relationships, it is much easier than being a single mom raising 3 children on your own. The support group is always there and no child ever suffered from having an extended family. The women do not equate commitment with fidelity.

We have to be less western about viewing these practices. 50% of Western marriages end in divorce, children are passed around from home to home, foster care to foster care. Of course our system is not so peachy either.

In the true sense of the word Ploygamy should more resemble “Big Love” not “the War of the Roses” when couples decide they no longer want to be together. These families do not divorce and as a result, the children are not traumatized by the pain of divorce. Maybe a little ashamed but no more so, probably than being ashamed of your parents, I think.

What do you think? Is Monogamy simply overated?? Or would you prefet Polyandry - women with multiple husbands.

I dont know about you but I hear the words Jelly in a shoe and I duck for cover. Never mind how you try and sell them, I picture racks of jelly shoes in some department or large grocery store stacked by the dozen, by the color. I don’t understand why Givenchy has jumped on the jelly bandwagon with their own version of jelly shoes. Each to his own, I ain’t mad at you if you are into jellies, here are a few for you. At prices that wont break the bank.

This pair comes in various colors - $19.50

or these at $10 a pair.
