Slice of Pink

Thousand Dollar Dress

Like many married gals, Sonya Naumann had a once-worn sparkling white wedding dress hanging in her closet. She decided to do something with it:

Recently it occurred to me that the thousand dollar dress was merely going to hang in an expensive bag for the rest of its life. This seemed ludicrous and ineffectually temporal. Amidst my ongoing curiosity about the very nature of marriage, the business, the presence of the politics surrounding it, and my own connection to it, I knew I had to do something with that dress. Thus, the project, Thousand Dollar Dress. It is my goal to photograph 1,000 individuals wearing my $1,000 wedding dress within the context of their own or chosen environment.

I signed up to be a $1000 dress model. If Sonya ever comes my way, I'm gonna put on that sparkling white dress and take a ride on my pink beach cruiser.

My students and I are currently adoring the delightful photographs by Julie Blackmon. I think you'll like her, too.
