I don't know or see "gypsys" here in socal...however this thread made me watch "American gypsy wedding" for about three hours today...here's some of what I learned...
1)high priority on selling off daughter at 14-17 age range...leading to highly sexualized teeny boppers trying to find a husband.
2)due to being only allowed to marry within there community, there's in- breeding bigtime.
3)affliction,tapout and semi tight gothic designed shirts are the accepted attire of men. "Blow out" type hair styles are the norm aswell..think Pauly d...
4)the girls/guys are very similar to jersey shore..but something's different...like if there a cross between a guido and a southern redneck.
5)they really really like bedazzled /bejeweled stuff..like seriously,they really like bejewel everything...like for example I saw a babies "binky" bejeweled.
6)weddings,baby baptisms,14 year birthdays(women) are huge deals...they distinguish there social staus within there community...the more extravagant the better.
7)women are domestic slaves..husbands are required to bring home the Bacon...however on this show they never show the husband working or what there profession is?
8)all there eyes are spread apart abnormally...but girls tend to have nice hips.
9)men drink a lot and like fighting..added with the blinged out tapout affliction gear ,I'd be safe to assume they are part of the "just bleed" crowd.
10) it is very hard for them to rent out halls or venues due to there reputation..once again the show fails to explain why this is so prevalent for the different people...me thinks they do Fucked up shit( ala original post).
Very fascinating in a laugh at kinda way...imo,I'm sure there's decent ones just like any group..but this show didn't do them no favors lol.
