Every Day I'm Bustlin'

[Image via: here]

Are you familiar with the art of bustling?

Neither was I, until Crowsy's wedding, where the other 'maids and I assumed the role of quasi-master bustlers. T-minus five minutes until the emcee announces the bridal party and newly wed Mr. and Mrs. at the reception and what is the bridal party up to?

In the church parking lot. Crowded around the bride, in a group-like fashion, basically digging through layers of lace and tulle.

"What's a bustle?" one b-maid asked, searching for the mysterious item.

"I don't think it's a thing; it's something you do," someone else answered. Where is Bustlin' For Dummies when you need it?

The only one with any idea how to do the bustling was the M.O.B, who, unfortunately for us, was as blind as a bat without her glasses. After a few minutes, we discovered a few buttons which led us to recognize our assigned mission: shorten the dress by buttoning the material touching the ground up and away.

Our theme song, which we rapped [okay, attempted to rap] as we worked, quickly became an a capella, girly version of "Everyday I'm Bustlin.'" Oh, yes. That happened.

Attention, all future b-maids: know how-to before you have-to. As in watch this handy-dandy YouTube tutorial for a very helpful bustling crash course.
