Black & White? What are your thoughts on a black & white wedding?
Do you think black makes the event "goth"?
If you were doing it, would you want all of your guests to wear black and white also? Or just the wedding party?
Someone has suggested that the mother of the bride wear red...what do you think about that? |
its YOUR wedding - have whatever colour scheme you want.
the idea that black is just for funerals i long gone- in some cultures White is the colour for mourning;
my sister was MOH recently where the bridal party were all in black with white flowers & accents; I also saw pictures of a wedding in a bridal magazine where the bridesmaids were in black & white outfits - each one different to match the personality of the lady- looked FANTASTIC.
RE:- asking guests to wear those colours - put on your invites that you are having a *themed event* & ""INVITE"" the guests to see how creative they can be using those colours & if it is NOT meant to be a formal affair stress that fact also.
maybe word the invitations like a letter

e.g;-
dear .......

as you are aware - we like to do things a little differently so we are having a black & white theme for the occassion.

personally as mother of the bride I would wear red- BUT then that is a colour i feel comfortable in- for my daughters wedding I wore bright yellow as it was fresh & cheerful & they had a beach ceremony.
there are MANY different shades of red- the colour for the MOB should be one that she feels good wearing- but preferrably a strong colour
black can be gothic looking ; but it can also be elegent;casual-- the look mainly depends on the styles of the outfits & the accessories & make-up. |
Black/white? how come its okay for black comedians to joke and make fun of white people all they want but when a white comedian does it.. its racism?? and they make a huge deal of it. |
Congratulations. You’ve discovered the basic fallacy of black pride. In unrecognized corporate envy, prompted by liberals who actually keep the blacks down with government ‘assistance’ (which equals dependency), some blacks are trying on the unconscious, arrogant attitude of whites in the slave days. It didn’t work for whites. It doesn’t work for blacks, either.
As far as why it is horrible to be proud to be white, it is horrible for the same reason that it is horrible to be proud to be black. We didn’t choose it, earn it or achieve it. It was given to us. What people should say is that there is no reason to be ashamed to be white. Or black. But that’s not good enough for some people.
It’s like being proud of being forgiven. It’s good to be forgiven, it’s necessary for us to be forgiven. But, in order to be forgiven, one must first confess that one has done wrong and is undeserving of forgiveness— or it isn’t forgiveness, any more, it’s just giving someone what he deserves.
If something is true, it has to be equally… equally!!! true for whites AND blacks… or it isn’t really true.

Black white? who liked the show black white? the show about people putting on white makeup if u were black n viceversa? who wants a 2nd season? is there a second season? |
| It was a good series. I don't know that another one is going to go over well. Seems like a show that can only be done once. |
BLACK&WHITE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~… Where do actors come from and how do i obtain them and how do i make them and is it avialable in black and white creatures isle if so please leave a message or im me splintercell_stealth@yahoo.com |
The "Actors" in the pc game "Blank And White" are spawned at random spots. Most often near a village. If you find one, your creature can carry him to another village. If conditions are right he will stay. If your village is healthy it's only a matter of time before one wanders by.
I believe they are in the expansion as well. There is no spell or item that will force a spawn.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the newer "Black And White 2" edition. |
Black/white? I know the formal terms are Caucasian and African American, but is anyone actually offended by the words black and white? I'm just curious, because my friend and I were talking about it. She'd rather be called black because it sounds more casual, and I'd rather be called white, but neither of us would be offended by any of the listed terms.
What do you guys think about this? Black or African American? White or Caucasian? |
well im niether balck/white but asian and i normally refer to african-americans as balcks and caucasians as white. i dont think the terms as offenisve. i only use caucasian and african-american when refering to sensitive whites/blacks or speaking scientifically.
african american is a bit confusing at times thought because many african in america have been here so long they can't trace back their ansectory to any specific ethnic african group
also nto all desnded from salves.caucasin is confusin too because many caucasians cant sepfically trace theri anmscetory to a erupean country.
however i dont go around calling them ni*****, honkies, albinos,africcon,buffie, aligator bait etc etc or any othe rracial words. thats offesnive |
How can I go from white skin to black skin with make-up for costume? For a costume I want to make my skin look black. I have white skin and am wondering what type of make up or paint or whatever I need to make it look like I really have black skin. What type of make up was used on that one show "Black. White" where a white family and black family switched races by make up? This is the type of effect I am looking for. Thanks for any help! |
There are several shades of black used on stage. Max Factor is what was used in a production I served in. (Finian's Rainbow)
It does not wash off easily, and true blacks not involved in the "show" might well find it patronizing and be offended. |
Does black and white c41 film negatives work good with enlargers? I want to enlarge pictures that I developed at Walgreens in the darkroom. I'm also planning to do some burning and cropping. I have noticed that c41 film looks different the normal black white film (its purplish), will that cause any problems when I use it in the enlarger? |
I think you will be stunned by it.
I recommend in the future using C41 Ilford XP2 as it was designed specifically for traditional darkroom enlarging. |
Im painting my room white with black zebra stripes this summer, what would be a good bed spread color? Im a girl btw. Im painting my closet, end table, and tv stand black. Should i get a black bedspread? and maybe accent them with black, white, and hot pink pillows? and zebra print sheets?
Any ideas would be helpful!
Thanks! |
I have a similar bedroom to yours and this is what I've learned about bedding for a black + white room.
>Choose a white bedspread If you want to make the bed disappear but it will make the black furniture stand out more.
>Choose a black bedspread if you want a dark room but it does bring attention to any other colors you bring in.
You've got the right idea with the accent pillows, it's a good idea to introduce another color if your room is black + white. Hot pink looks great on black but might not work with the zebra stripes.
If you're feeling creative, use black fabric or felt and cut some stripes to add to your pillows Try painting or stenciling on other items in your room as well.
If you have any zebra ornaments - paint some hot pink stripes on it !
Just remember, your bedroom is your personal space and you are the one that knows how to be comfortable in it and have fun decorating it your way. You Go Girl |
Need ideas for decorations in a black and white fish aquarium? I'm looking for any neat do it yourself fish tank decorations. I'm also thinking about overturning some clay pots to put as decorations in my fish tank. Does anyone know where or how I can get a black clay pot that wouldn't be harmful to fish. I'd like to do black/white decos in my fish tank but have no ideas on what else would be neat in there besides black sand or gravel mixed with white gravel. |
This is a tricky situation because fish can be so sensitive.
I am a ceramics major, and all too often I hear stories of people planting their plants in a glazed pot, and it dying because of what leeches out of the glaze.
Rule of thumb, only buy decorations from an aquarium store. They are sure to use fish safe products. Invest in some fish safe disinfectant and always wipe down or boil in water whatever you are going to add.
This will take alot of research on your part, because even sea shells will change the ph of water. |
How can i take a black and white picture on my Cannon Powershot SD1200 digital elph ? Ive had this camera for probably about 6 months now, and i cant figure out how to take black and white pictures. My older sister has the EXACT same camera, (same colour & everything) & she takes black + white pictures, and also takes pictures in Sepia. Can someone tell me how to take these pictures ? |
| Do you still have the manual? Otherwise, go through the settings inside your camera. You want to look for something called My Colors in the settings menu. |
