A same-sex wedding advert?

After the threesome proposed by BLC, now comes this... Now that weddings season will soon be kicking off in full gear, photographers, hairdressers, make-up artists will soon (if they haven't started already) be displaying their packages to brides-to-be... Except that George Mattar's (hair and beauty salon) comes with a twist - I believe it tackles some sort of same-sex marriage. The image, displaying an intimacy moment between (what? Two brides? A bride and a bridesmaid? A lesbian couple?) - whereas I am still puzzled about this image, I could not but be reminded by the "master" himself: Guy Bourdin and the mythical image he created for the Roland Pierre campaign in 1983...
So if you want to go into Lesbianism territory, just know that there are some references in the field already....

It's the BLF my dear not the BLC. The logo of BLC is the ugliest in the world so they have enough ;).

ugly indeed, they did a very lame uplift...

It's true that they're two brides but they aren't doing anything together. It could've been even two different photos.
I think that George Mattar was trying to show different hair styles that can be done, that's all :)
