  • Marrying Millennials,Go All Out, Baby!,Congratulations
    Marrying Millennials You know a demographic is just too big to be ignored when pro football teams start catering to it. This year, the San Francisco 49ers have begun tackling the challenge of coaching their newest recruits, Millennials, the generation of 18- to 34-year olds taking the world by storm. As a retailer, you need to take a play from the 49ers’ playbook and think about ways you can reach Gen Y. And we’re here to help. Last month, we shared five tips for getting Millennials in your store. Today, we’ll tell you how Ever&Ever, Stuller’s newest bridal offering, appeals to this high-spending group. Styling Millennials represent our present and our future, but this generation loves styles that hearken back to the past. Rather than asking granny to hand over her engagement ring, though, prospective grooms are looking for new rings withvintage looks that can be customized to meet their exact specifications. Ever&Ever offers an assortment of traditional styles that fit the bill. Of course, young brides aren’t completely eschewing on-trend styles. Just as many want engagement rings that reflect the new and popular. Morgan Bares, Stuller’s Bridal Product Manager, explains, “The two-tone look is definitely in right now; we’ve seen it at all the major shows and all over Hollywood. New brides like the idea of mixing and matching metals to create something completely unique.” Fortunately, Ever&Ever offers the two-tone look that many contemporary brides are choosing. Personalization No matter which style they choose as a starting point, Millennials aren’t content to buy off the shelf.

WARE Anything to Act Crazy: Cajun Women and Mardi Gras Disguise As women play an increasingly prominent part in many Cajun Mardi Gras runs, they bring their own styles of roleplaying and masking to the celebration. A handful of creative women have taken the lead in commodifying the rural tradition, making and marketing Mardi Gras suits and masks on a large scale. This article looks at Cajun women's dis- guises as a way of understanding their larger influence on thefestival. ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN RURAL Cajun Mardi Gras celebrations is the presence of female maskers. Women once were limited to the sidelines; in Tallant's words, the "olden carnival was primarily for men and horses" as its "impromptu wild- ness ... had no place for the ladies" (1976:67).1 Now Cajun women run Mardi Gras in about half a dozen prairie communities, although they are excluded from many more (Lindahl 1996b; Ancelet et al.

We are thrilled to announce that Wesley Stace has agreed to perform music from John Wesley Harding’s songbook at the Arden Gild Hall on March 6, 2020.
