Weddings on former Southern plantations

I have been watching Say Yes to the Dress, Four Weddings and other shows where young women talk about their weddings and have noticed that many are planning to be wed on restored plantations that are now rented out for weddings or other events. Some even offer bed and breakfast services! To me this is beyond offensive, ignorant and even macabre. If people are happy having the happiest day of their life where people were bought like objects, abused and worked until they perished, would they also consider a destination wedding to the gates of Auschwitz? To me its the same idea, just a different place. Does anyone agree?

Am I the only person watching this Pom Pom Soap Opera who knows that with age comes weight gain in normal, real life? There are veterans on the DCC who have been members for 5+ years so of course additional pounds or weight fluctuation is the norm. And how can anyone be forced to sign a contract saying gain "X" pounds over your tryout weight and we will fire your fat ass? Really?

Also, many times the issue isn't the weight gain. Ever hear of making a sausage? The more filling into the less casing will lead to anything but a smooth surface or appetizing bratwurst! Look at what these women are forced to wear: it is the too small, too tight, too little fabric that causes any amount of flesh it was not meant to cover to bulge or ,"muffin-top" out. And this is all so ironic when you look at Jelli herself! While true her appearance and weight don't affect how she does her job, it should matter in her levels of sympathy, empathy and kindness when talking to a quivering 20 year old, terrified of losing her dreams and income (no matter how small). Kelli could be a tad less bitchy when telling said quivering girl that it is her last night because of her large quivering buttocks or jiggly tummy. I always get the feeling that after firing a fatty from the squad, Kelli, Judy and Charlotte hit a pizzeria or ice cream shoppe! Once less on the roster, one more slice in the gut. And they pick up Kitty on the way...I feel sick...
