I agree Becky, and I hope you are not one of those women who read magazines that feature celebrities or watch non-news television ; )
Of course her wedding does not matter but neither does 75% of what is covered in the media.

Becky, I will make you a vegan chocolate cake that is very very tasty. Though probably not for your wedding.

@JetGirl: One of the stories I saw today says that she’s serving vegan food, so—if that’s true, which it may totally not be—I imagine that the cake will be vegan. Which…meh. I have had vegan cakes that were acceptable, but never one that was terrific.

@JT: I agree about all the terrible things that were said about Chelsea when Bill was in the White House. Some of them were truly unforgiveable and I hope she didn’t hear about them at the time.

::side-eye at John McCain::

And then to have the whole Lewinsky thing happen when she was a teen? I can’t blame her for a minute for choosing to stay out of the public eye.

I do want to see what her wedding cake looks like. I hope she gets one of those amazing ones they do shows on.
Yes, I am obsessed with cakes. Please don’t judge…

Thanks for this Sharpie! I have been massively disgusted by not only the intrusive coverage but by various commenters on blogs speculating about how far along she may be.

Repulsive.

PS. I met Chelsea, and I think she is an astute and interesting young woman, but that does not mean I care about her wedding or want it to take news time away from actually things impacting our world. There’s a difference btwn critiquing media attention & critiquing the woman whose getting it.

thank you! The media’s attention to Chelsea’s lavish wedding in the face of our ongoing recession, the oil spill, race and gender issues, and oh yeah, the failure to grant all people in the U.S. the right to marry isn’t just a none new story it’s insulting.

I have a lot of affection for Chelsea. She’s carried herself with extraordinary grace in the face of major bullshit. Plus we have the same hair, so you know, that’s a bond beyond time. And I admit I want to see the dress I can’t help it sorry.

I saw two cable news people (women, of course) talking about how surprising it is that Hillary’s been involved in wedding planning. Because she’s a ball-crushing cyborg and not a loving human mother. Plz.
