Bizarro World
Shooting what promises to be a world class clusterfuck wedding today. Clue: the aisle runner will be white faux fur & the bride will wear flip-flops. We gotta raise our prices & get out of this social niche.
Please tell me what in the world that means?? clusterfuck? How can a wedding be worldclass clusterfuck? or is it something so simple that I'm not getting it. I have never ever ever heard that saying before. I swear! I hope it payed well though.
I first heard the term when Clint Eastwood used it in the 1980 film "Heartbreak Ridge" to describe a chaotic cascade of screwups, mistakes and blunders. And, no, it didn't pay well at all because it was a special deal Maria offered to a former employee. It turned out much better than expected and we got some great shots.
Ahhhh *lightbulb goes on overhead* so THAT's what it means! I get it. Great word!! I remember you mentioning this great wedding package deal before. At least it came out better than you thought and it's now over. Were there really faux fur and flip flops?
