Global culture, open market trends and the interflow of expatriate populations are contributing to the adoption of foreign tradition as well as borrowed traditions, as national. Some enterprising people headed by a lady called Gwendoline Kuhatheva who displays organisational and business skills in respect of beauty pageants, fashion shows - 'displays', one might say, and anything that involves the 'feel good' factor, have put out 'Bridal Boutique', Womans Own '98, for brides. This writer was not able to be present, but the glossy publication spreads the bridal panorama that moved across the stage on that occasion across its pages. Nowadays weddings are synonymous with posh hotels, so it is not surprising that 'Bridal Boutique' is heavily dependent, in the sense of reading-matter, on the big city and resort hotels plying their wedding and honeymoon packages. Wedding Etiquette is also included in the magazine - the proper way to word invitations even in complicated situations such as if divorced parents are involved.
Back attack is apparently very important in the overall wedding beauty rituals.
Exfoliation is recommended so that 'when your back comes out in front you have nothing to worry about'. Sausages also feature in this Bridal Boutique, how to use them for breakfast etc. Kinesiology, considered to be the most important and dramatic advances in alternative holistic health care this century' is also dealt with in the magazine. Since it is all about the body, it is a most appropriately chosen topic. Sex, however, does not figure in Woman's Own '98 Bridal Boutique magazine.
