Lesbian Style: The Ultimate Guide To Lesbian Fashion
Whether you're just coming to terms with your sexual orientation or have long been a card-carrying lesbian who is struggling with their personal style, this lesbian style guide is for you. Here, we'll cover some of the basics of lesbian fashion and explain a few enduring trends.
Types Of Lesbian Fashion Trends
Since time immemorial, fashion has been an important aspect of lesbian culture.
In the 19th century, at a time when women were held to rigid standards, some women would don male clothing to present and pass as men. In the 1950s, when secret queer bars started cropping up and more lesbians adopted butch-femme roles, butches would differentiate themselves with masculine working-class aesthetics – think t-shirts, jeans, and short hair. The 80s up to the 2000s saw lesbian fashion evolve into something more definitive and easily recognizable. This era birthed stereotypical signifiers like flannel, button-up shirts, denim or leather jackets, and heavy boots to name a few.
But lesbian style is as varied as the community itself. We've moved way past the rigid butch/femme-only roles and the "tomboy" stereotypes. Today, lesbians encompass a wide range of gender identities and expressions. As such, you have terms like high femme lipstick lesbian, futch chapstick lesbian, stone butches, cottagecore lesbians, sporty tomboy lesbians, etc.
Femme Lesbian Style
Femme lesbians and queer women typically like to present in a more "feminine" way. This means wearing longer or more feminine hair, form-fitting or flowy dresses, skirts, and feminine-cut tops and pants. Femme lesbians also tend to enjoy wearing makeup, thus the term "lipstick lesbian".
Some of the popular trends among femme-presenting women include fringed bags, white 60s-inspired gogo boots, folksy tapestry coats, and a spot of bright yellow or blue in an otherwise monochromatic outfit.
Unfortunately, because femme lesbians present more feminine, they can often feel invisible in the queer community and may not be taken seriously as queer women. As such, some femme lesbians like to add certain elements to their style to signal their queerness. While these accessories and style choices don't necessarily belong exclusively to queer people, they're things that a lot of queer people have incorporated into their wardrobes. This can include:
Piercings and wild, quirky earrings: There is a recent trend on TikTok called "lesbian earrings". Essentially, they're loud and quirky earrings made from things like tiny tarot cards, miniature succulent pots, or even teeny SPAM cans.
Combat boots or Doc Martens: Docs don't belong to lesbians, but the hardy, utilitarian boots do have a solid lesbian fanbase.
Denim jackets with loads of pins: The Riot Girl era of the 90s was a time when young activists would wear their activism on their jackets, donning eye-catching statement pins and patches.
Statement t-shirts and totes: Again, not an exclusively queer fashion choice, but a choice popular among queer folks nonetheless. If you want to be loud and proud about your queerness or any other important aspect of your identity, shout it out with a graphic tee or tote bag.
Practical accessories: They say you can tell a woman is a lesbian by the way they keep their keys. One of the most enduring lesbian stereotypes is that of the practical, down-to-earth tomboy. The type who keeps their keys and a Swiss Army knife hanging from their belt loop with a carabiner.
In recent years, fashion has become more "gender neutral" or "gender fluid". As more and more folks realize that clothes don't necessarily have gender, the lines of what is considered a "femme" or a "butch" outfit or piece of clothing continue to blur. For example, in 2021, some major fashion trends for women include 80s-inspired oversized "boyfriend" jackets as well as suits and jumpsuits in soft pastel tones.
If you're looking for a femme lesbian fashion icon to look to for inspo, consider singer Lauren Jauregui, actress Sarah Paulson, model Cara Delevingne, musician St. Vincent, and actress Amandla Stenberg.
Butch Lesbian Style
Whereas femme lesbian fashion is characterized by all things feminine, butch lesbian fashion celebrates masculinity. In a New York Times piece on butch lesbians, "butch" is described as "an aesthetic" that also conveys "an attitude and energy". Butchness is both about gender and sexuality, but it is also hard to define so squarely. As former Olympic swimmer and model Casey Legler puts it, "[Butches] exist in this realm of masculinity that has nothing to do with cis men — that's the part only we [butches] know how to talk about".
So what looks and styles can be considered quintessentially butch? Short, masculine haircuts are one. A butch or a stud (a butch person of color) also tends to favor menswear – whether it be a casual t-shirt-jeans-sneakers combo, a plain white button-down shirt and jeans, or a dapper suit and tie accented with a handsome pair of brogues.
There is a misconception that butch lesbian fashion isn't as "put together" or stylish as femme fashion. But this assumption is tied to ideas of how a woman should and should not dress. And part and parcel of the butch identity, ultimately, is about rejecting what is traditionally feminine.
While butch lesbian fashion is so much more than just menswear on a woman's body, it's safe to say that trends in butch fashion borrow from trends in men's fashion. In 2022, butch lesbian fashion can lead towards utility wear, nautical-inspired pieces, bomber jackets, wide-cut trousers, and Bermuda shorts. Neon, chunky sneakers are also big among masculine-presenting folks these days. And in terms of general fashion trends in 2022, we have early 2000's styles, top-to-toe color, sequins and shimmer, and bold stripes.
Butch lesbian fashion icons include actor and comedian Lea DeLaria, model Jenny Shimizu, musician JD Samson, and actor Roberta Colindrez.
Futch, Stem, or Chapstick Lesbian Style
If you think of gender identity and expression as a spectrum, with feminine on one end and masculine on another, the chapstick lesbian would be smack dab in the center. Chapstick lesbians are also called "futch", which comes from combining the words "femme" and "butch", or "stem", which comes from the words "stud" and "femme".
The stem style is much harder to define than butch and femme styles because futch lesbians straddle that line between masculine and feminine. They're also quite diverse in the sense that some stem lesbians are more comfortable presenting androgynously, having a genderless or gender-neutral style of dress. Meanwhile, other stem lesbians may feel comfortable alternating between somewhat masculine and feminine styles or even mixing styles from both ends together.
On top of this, "genderless" fashion has been on the rise in the past few years, with more and more people comfortable trying on clothes and styles not typically associated with their particular orientation/gender identity/expression. For example, actor and rapper Jaden Smith made a lot of noise a few years ago for having a proclivity for wearing skirts and long dresses. Singer Harry Styles has also been placed into the spotlight lately for adopting a dandyish style and incorporating things like lace, florals, and glitter into his outfits.
With that being said, there are some fashion traits that are typical of futch or stem lesbians:
Stem lesbians like wearing menswear or menswear-inspired clothes while still keeping some feminine traits, like their body shape, maintaining long hair, wearing makeup, and using feminine accessories.
Stem lesbians tend to enjoy mixing masculine tops with feminine bottoms (button-down shirts with skinny jeans) and vice versa (a strappy sports bra with baggy joggers).
Stem or futch lesbians use minimal makeup and keeping low-maintenance hair and nails compared to femme lesbians.
Stem or futch lesbians tend to favor comfort and practicality and comfort over style.
Cottagecore Lesbian Fashion
Around early 2020, the term "cottagecore" took off in lesbian spaces online, like on Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. The term describes a person who wants to escape city life and start anew on a Western farm.
More than just a style, cottagecore is a whole movement. The cottagecore aesthetic is characterized by rustic and cozy home interiors, which include things like ceramics, embroidery, old books, flowers, and basically the inside of Miss Honey's little cottage in Matilda.
According to The Advocate, the cottagecore movement is a "response to people being dissatisfied with their hectic, crowded lives in cities or suburbs, and the feelings of burnout that come with it. Tired of the minimalist aesthetic that's dominated interior design in the last ten years, they're decorating their apartments with potted plants and porcelain teacups, and taking comfort in old-fashioned hobbies like arts & crafts and baking".
Cottagecore fashion includes things like linen dresses with floral or plaid prints, long prairie frocks, quilted jackets, knitted sweaters, sun hats, garden boots, mary janes, lacy collars, rattan baskets – you get the picture. Some cottagecore lesbians are also into fantasy elements like goblins and fairies.
Vegan, Sustainable, Hippie Lesbian Fashion
There is a long-standing stereotype that lesbians are more inclined to become vegans. After all, many lesbian people have an inclination towards counterculture and activism. It makes sense, as lesbian people know first-hand what it's like to be oppressed, be different from the mainstream, and fight for a place in society.
The whole vegan/sustainable-living/hippie lesbian look is defined by their political values. Vegans don't consume or purchase anything made out of or by animals, and that principle extends beyond their diets. As such, most hardcore vegans will avoid wearing anything with leather, suede, animal skin, fur, feathers, and certain kinds of wool.
Many vegans believe that veganism is also better for the environment, and thus adhere to the lifestyle out of a conscious effort to live more sustainably. As such, many eco-conscious vegans are also proponents of recycled fabrics, upcycled and thrifted clothing, vintage fashion, and using natural fabrics with no or minimal artificial dyes.
Like many of the other styles on this list, vegan/hippie fashion is marred with certain stereotypes, from dreadlocks and dungarees to burlap and Birkenstocks. But thanks to modern innovations, sustainable, eco-conscious clothing can now look a lot like regular clothing, blurring the lines of what counts as "hippie" sustainable style.
Witchy/Goth Lesbian Fashion
"Queerness and witchcraft have long been bedfellows", writes Amelia Abraham in an article about how witchcraft has become a safe haven for the LGBTQ+ community. After all, in a religious, patriarchal society, witches are considered symbols of the "other". Anyone (especially women) who refused to follow societal norms was considered a witch and exiled from mainstream society.
While witchcraft, goth culture, and the macabre have all been considered peculiar and niche countercultures, thanks to the internet, we're seeing more and more people learn about and connect with others who are interested in the occult. For some, it's a way of channeling their frustrations with feeling like they don't fit in into something tangible and fun. For others, it's about political resistance. And for others, it's about connecting with the folk magic of their ancestors.
So what does witchy lesbian fashion look like? Some witchy folks like wearing crystal necklaces, tapestry coats, and animal bone talismans. Others adhere to the goth/punk look of all-black clothing, paper-white makeup, and black lipstick and eyeliner.
Dark Academia Lesbian Fashion
Popular among Gen Zs (especially on TikTok) Dark Academia fashion is like the Preppy look's more sophisticated, less spirited older sister. Fans of this look are usually into literature, the arts, architecture, history, Greek mythology, and, well, academia in general.
The style is characterized by classic, timeless pieces, from tailored trousers to tweed blazers to pleated skirts to brogues or loafers. Dark Academia lesbians tend to wear more monochromatic looks or neutral, earth tones like brown, beige, cream, grey, navy, and brick red. The fabrics are usually more upscale, like wool and cashmere, and outfits are accented with minimalist, classic jewelry like gold necklaces, brooches, and smart watches.

Stylish celebrities like Ruby Rose, Lena Waithe, and Tiffany Haddish have all been seen rocking Stuzo.

Inclusive, sustainable fashion is at the core of queer-run clothing business Wildfang. On a "mission to rethink gender norms and how they show up in fashion", Wildfang aims to "embrace our masculine, our feminine, and our-everything-in-between".
Some of their bestselling products include the utility wear-inspired Essential Coverall jumpsuit, which comes in a range of colors and prints, as well as a sleek double-breasted blazer that actually has pockets and a cool lining detail that reminds wearers that "You f*cking got this!"
Probably one of the most popular queer-owned and -run fashion houses, Telfar Clemens' brand is best known for its affordable but oh so chic shopping tote. Everyone from Zoe Kravitz to Dua Lipa has been seen sporting a Telfar.
Chromat
Chromat sells "future-forward bodywear" for all shapes and sizes. For queer people – especially plus-size queer people – finding comfortable and flattering underwear, activewear, and swimwear can be a challenge. Chromat aims to be the answer to that problem. This brand offers items like swimwear made specifically for trans bodies and a special type of breathable and shape-shifting sports bra.

Passengers flying in and out of Britain's busiest airports are facing up to three weeks of disruption because of an overhaul of air traffic control.
Travellers could be delayed by 20 minutes on flights bound for Heathrow and Gatwick as new airspace technology is introduced to replace a 1970s-style paper-based system.
The change starting tomorrow morning will affect some of the 360,000 passengers travelling on about 2,300 flights a day in and out of Britain's busiest airports. There may also be minor delays into Stansted, Luton and London City, controllers said.
More aircraft will be expected to land late at night or in the early hours, potentially causing more disturbance for households under flight paths.

William & Lucy
A Tale of Suspicion and Love
by Michael Brown
Contact Author - Michael Brown
The author, Michael Brown, is a three time Emmy Award winning film editor who has written and sold ten television scripts to ABC, CBS and NBC. He is a member of the Director's Guild of America, the Writer's Guild of America, the Editor's Guild, and American Cinema Editor's, an honorary society. He has five children, four grandchildren and lives with his wife, Holly, in Southern California.

William Wordsworth wrote five poems inspired by a young woman named Lucy. Scholars have long speculated as to the identity of Lucy. Was she real? Could she have been a fantasy of William's imagination? "William and Lucy" is a fictional work speculating on the identity and relationship of Lucy and William. Author Michael Brown used the clues provided in Wordsworth's poetry to piece together the fragments of the mystery, such as the location of Somerset. Michael Brown's romantic tale is set in 1798 during a time of war between England and France. When we meet William Wordsworth it is a time of turmoil in his life. He seems to lack the inspiration to write, the crown suspects he is a spy for France, his landlord is evicting him, and his inheritance is tied up in the courts.
William is twenty-eight when he meets seventeen year old Lucy Sims. The two young people are drawn to each other. In Brown's version of the myth, Lucy is a governess, plagued by her employer's unwanted advances, who eventually forces himself on young Lucy. The mistress of the home is angered and accuses Lucy of theft. The drama continues as William faces poverty, treason, and the threat of death by hanging.
Michael Brown is a brilliant author, whose style reminds me of Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austin. He allows the plot to form at its own pace and never attempts to lighten the desperation of the era. Brown brings depth and dimension to both the characters and the plot. There is an atmosphere of romance as well as a sense of desperation in the relationship of the characters. Wordsworth's art was devalued in his lifetime; however, I suspect that will not happen with the works of author Michael Brown.


We are often asked when is the best time to lay new turf. New lawns can be laid at any time of year provided you carry out the proper preparation and then keep the new lawn and the subsoil moist for the first six weeks. We lay complete new lawns in Wokingham, Maidenhead. However we sometimes find that it is possible to renovate or revitalise your existing lawn. We provide professional advice so you can make an informed decision on the best way forward to suit your requirements and budget.
Often the lawn can be treated by controlling the moss and scarifying. Scarifying removes the choking thatch and dead moss and gives space for the grass to rejuvenate.

FBI Weren't the Only Ones Objecting to Torture in 2002 -- So Did the Army, Marines & Air Force
There were already serious objections to the use of torture when the Bush administration made it legal in 2002 -- FBI chief Robert Mueller refused to let his agents participate in the CIA's "coercive interrogations" in June of that year, well before the Bybee memo made them legal on August 1.
But it's not like the FBI was alone in expressing those concerns. On October 1, the commander in charge of detainee interrogation at Guantanamo Bay wrote a memo requesting authority to use "aggressive interrogations techniques" that were similar to those outlined in the Bybee memo. It reached the desk of Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Joint Staff solicited opinions before making a decision. Here's what came back to them in November 2002 (PDF):
Air Force: Had "serious concerns regarding the legality of many of the proposed techniques...Some of these techniques could be construed as 'torture' as that crime is defined by 18 U.S.C 2340." Further, they were concerned that "implementation of these techniques could preclude the ability to prosecute the individuals interrogated," because "Level III techniques will almost certainly result in any statements obtained being declared as coerced and involuntary, and therefore inadmissible....Additionally, the techniques described may be subject to challenge as failing to meet the requirements outlined in military order to treat detainees humanely and to provide them with adequate food, water, shelter and medical treatment." They called for an in-depth legal review.
Criminal Investigative Task Force (CITM): Chief Legal Advisor to the CITF at Gitmo, Maj Sam W. McCahon, writes "Both the utility and the legality of applying certain techniques identified in the memorandum listed above are, in my opinion, questionable. Any policy decision to use the Tier III techniques, or any techniques inconsistent with the analysis herein, will be contrary to my recommendation. The aggressive techniques should not occur at GTMO where both CITF and the intelligence community are conducting interviews and interrogations." He calls for further review and concludes by saying "I cannot advocate any action, interrogation or otherwise, that is predicated upon the principal that all is well if the ends justify the means and others are not aware of how we conduct our business."
Army: The Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans writes: "As set forth in the enclosed memoranda, the Army interposes significant legal, policy and practical concerns regarding most of the Category II and all of the Category III techniques proposed." They recommend "a comprehensive legal review of this proposal in its entirety by the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice."
Navy: recommends that "more detailed interagency legal and political review be conducted on proposed techniques."
Marine Corp: expressed strong reservations, since "several of the Category II and III techniques arguably violate federal law, and would expose our service members to possible prosecution." Called for further review.
Legal adviser to the Joint Chiefs, Jane Dalton, commenced the review that was requested by the military services. But before it was concluded, Myers put a stop to it -- at the request of Jim Haynes, the Department of Defense General Counsel, who was told by Rumsfeld that things were "taking too long." Over the objections of the Army, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force and the Criminal Investigation Task Force, Haynes recommended that the "aggressive technique" be approved without further investigation. He testified that Wolfowitz, Feith and Myers concurred.
On December 2, 2002 Rumsfeld approved Haynes' recommendation with the famous comment "I stand for 8-10 hours a day. Why is standing limited to 4 hours?"
One of the conclusions of the Senate Armed Services Committee report is that Myers screwed up:
Conclusion 11: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers's decision to cut short the legal and policy review of the October 11,2002 GTMO request initiated by his Legal Counsel, then-Captain Jane Dalton, undermined the military's review process. Subsequent conclusions reached by Chairman Myers and Captain Dalton regarding the legality of interrogation techniques in the request followed a grossly deficient review and were at odds with conclusions previously reached by the Anny, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Criminal Investigative Task Force.
They also conclude that "Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's authorization of aggressive interrogation techniques for use at Guantanamo Bay was a direct cause of detainee abuse there. Secretary Rumsfeld's December 2,2002 approval of Mr. Haynes's recommendation that most of the techniques contained in GTMO's October 11, 2002 request be authorized, influenced and contributed to the use of abusive techniques, including military working dogs, forced nudity, and stress positions, in Afghanistan and Iraq."
Objections to torture aren't the exclusive terrain, as Bill Kristol likes to pretend, of "President Obama" and his "leftist lawyers" looking back on a "bright, sunny safe day in April" with "preening self-righteousness" and forgetting how "dark and painful" that chapter in our history was.
When Donald Rumsfeld approved "enhanced interrogation techniques" for Guantanamo Bay in 2002, he did so in defiance of the recommendations of the Army, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force and the Criminal Investigation Task Force.

Scratch is a drag and drop coding language that students will use to write some of their first complex computer programs. There are cool things they can learn to do, like animate their name, make things fly across the screen, make a dance party under the sea with ocean creatures, or fun outer space actions. This will be a time for them to work on programs that they can continue with after the club ends.


As I look at my last post, 9 days ago, I think about everything that has gone on in my life since then. I quit drawing, I quit writing, I quit blogging and I even quit working. My family was in crisis mode. When my family is in crisis mode, we band together and block all other things out. I am so blessed to be a part of the family that surrounds a member if they are going through something traumatic.
In my last post, "Dealing with Loss", I wrote about losing my sister-n-law. But it was so much more than losing her physically. My brother lost his wife, my 2-year-old nephew lost his mother, and we lost a family member. During a time of loss, often times we lash out where there isn't a problem. We get bruised easier by things that would normally roll off our back. We break down wherever we can find a place of solitude, for me, it was in the shower.
I also lost my grandmother, who I had been unable to visit for several years due to going through my own life crisis of divorce and becoming a single parent. Readjusting my entire life and trying to find out who I am, who I want to be and who I need to be. Just because I wasn't able to see her though, didn't mean that she wasn't in my thoughts. I have very fond memories of her making me and my sister matching dresses, even if they did have frills. I remember every single Christmas, we would receive a wrapped shoebox full of all the goodies that she baked. And even though we all knew it was goodies, every year we were excited to see what came.
Just like with my sister-n-law, my grandmother always thought of others. They both were the types to go out of their way to make sure that every need they saw was met in one way or another. This world should be sad at the loss of not one, but two giving souls. They will both truly be missed.
So, how do I move on from here? I could stay saddened and burdened by the loss, or I can carry on the works of those two very special ladies. I've always had an empathetic point of view. I have always fought for the underdog and supplied where I saw a need. So those things, won't change for me. But what I did find out was, I don't have a lot of pictures of myself. Of course, I'm the type that would shy away from them, cursing the flash photography and family gatherings. But what I haven't been thinking of, is the day I am gone from this earth. What memories will I leave behind?
So, it is my goal to touch more lives. To draw and not be so scared of what others might think about it. To sing, and not be ashamed of my happiness. To play with my kids and bring happiness into their lives. To compliment more, whether it is friends, family, co-workers or strangers. To help when I see someone struggling without having to be asked. To be understanding that we never know what is going on in other's lives.
So, I know that if 9 days can change my life this drastically, it can change my view of how quickly life events can change others. My advice to you is laugh more, sing more, play more and be more positive. Be the change you wish to see in the world. If we all tried to be a little more positive, we could easily change the world into a more beautiful existence.


The new update for Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Patch 1.20, approx. 4 GB) is in fact more about getting your system ready for the next, upcoming DLC, The Fate of Atlantis. Out soon on 23rd April is the first episode of this: Fields of Elysium.
With Odyssey so far, Ubisoft has fulfilled most of the huge expectations that were placed upon it by delivering a deep mix of adventure, combat and RPG that is taking the franchise in a much-needed new direction. The world of Ancient Greece has never been brought to life with such involvement. Players are currently slogging through the extensive amount of free DLC which has also received very positive reviews. Will the final instalment bring one last boost of excitement and glory to this 'age' of Assassin's Creed?
Back to the patch. For that's not all. You'll also notice a few other changes and updates. For one thing, the free series of quests - The Lost Tales of Greece - are now located in your quest log. This is a nice improvement, providing slicker access.
The main difference you'll notice in-game, is that you now have the power to customise your hero's loadouts. Using the inventory menu, you'll be able to change between specialised sets of gear or equipment. Why is this cool? Well, certain situations can call for alternative weaponry and armour, so if you're the kind who likes to carry different arrays, then this is a handy addition.
A lot more bugs and fixes have also been implemented, including fixes that make some quests run without unwanted events occurring.
What are your thoughts on Assassin's Creed Odyssey? Have you made it through all the DLC so far, and are now ready to discover the Fate of Atlantis?
What are the games that will impact 2019?

Coastal myths brought to life in new production Peril at Sea at Fairhaven Lake
Peril at Sea
Julia Bennett
Touring theatre company Up The Road Theatre are heading to Fairhaven with a brand new production, Peril at Sea.
The show weaves together seafaring and maritime stories covering tales and myths of shipwrecks, smuggling, sea rescues and survival.
Peril at Sea will be performed at 7pm on Friday, March 22 within The Isaac Dixon Boathouse which sits at the side of Fairhaven Lake.
Nicola Pollard, director of Peril at Sea and founder of Up The Road Theatre, said the production team would love to hear from people who have stories or memories connected to the sea.
She said: "We are so excited to be touring this production to the Isaac Dixon Boathouse.
"It feels really important to bring the show to communities who have a seafaring history and the boathouse is one of those extra special buildings we'll be visiting during our tour.
"If you have any stories or memories to do with the sea that you would like to share with us, please get in touch via email.
"We'd love to hear from people as we tour the show."
The play features three characters who wait through a stormy night for the local lifeboat to return.
As they wait, stories tumble out of the night – tales, memories, myths, legends and songs – all told by a multitude of characters.
Amongst others, audiences will hear from sailors, submariners, smugglers and survivors.
The production is an opportunity to commemorate and celebrate those who have risked and lost their lives to save others, and the communities in which they lived.
Poldark: The Stranger from the Sea by Winston Graham: Steeped in humour, romance, passion, tragedy and the stunning Cornish landscape - book review -
For the past year, the company has been visiting sites and museums all over the country, gathering material to be used in the creation of the play.
The stories have also come from those who live by the sea, and their memories of life on the coast.
Tickets for the show are £10 for adults and £6 for children and can be purchased by visiting Fylde Council Town Hall or calling (01253) 658443.

Sheriff made the vow in a statement on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Honourable Bernard Mikko.
Sheriff was only recently sacked as national chairman of the party by the Supreme Court, which affirmed the National Caretaker Committee led by Sen Ahmed Makarfi as the authentic leadership group of the party.
Sheriff who pledged to address a world press conference to point the way forward for his supporters 'nationwide, also affirmed that he would take the necessary action after fully studying the Supreme Court judgement.
He stated that "We will collaborate with global anti-corruption networks to bring all corrupt politicians in Nigeria to book, including PDP members having criminal cases bordering on dishonesty and malfeasance".
On why he and his supporters were conspicuously absent at the expanded caucus meeting of the party held at the PDP secretariat on Monday night, the former chairman of the party, said he was mornin the country.
The meeting attracted prominent members of the party including the immediate past President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, past and serving state governors, past and current members of the National Assembly as well as the women wings of the party.
Sheriff also noted that he got no invitation to the event.
The statement read, "Senator Modu Sheriff was neither in the country nor invited to the assemblage at Wadata Plaza yesterday evening. However, he will address a world press conference to throw light on the way forward after we have received and studied the full judgment of the Supreme Court and analyzed its import on our democracy.
"We therefore appeal to all our loyal supporters nationwide not to defect as we are still committed to bringing the party back to the grassroots. We assure them that we will not only give them a voice, but they will also be heard.

Trivia He is fluent in German language.
Kris Krohn's Childhood
Kris Krohn was born in the Utah town of Orem. With three elder brothers, he is the fourth of nine children. His father was a German immigrant who arrived in the United States in his thirties.
His father, Kris recalls, had a strong work ethic. His father acquired 5 acres of property for his children when they were young and urged them to work on it. In an interview, Kris stated that he disliked doing it at first, but subsequently came to admire his father for instilling in them the importance of hard work.
Kris used to accompany his father, who worked as a contractor, when he was younger. That was the beginning of his interest in real estate.
Eileen, his mother, was a medical assistant who completed her internship at Seattle University. She used to work in the Biochemistry department at Washington University. She is a violinist, violist, and pianist who teaches individual music lessons.
The Dream of Kris Krohn
Kris went to Washington's Eastlake High School. He intended to be a doctor at first, but his low average Chemistry results put a damper on his plans.
As a result, he enrolled in the same course as his girlfriend (and now wife). He graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in marriage and family therapy in 2001.
He worked part-time as a real estate broker in college and excelled at it, developing real estate investing techniques.
Kris Krohn's Family: Wife and Children
Kris and his wife Kalenn married in 2007. They are currently the parents of four children. When Kris and Kalenn's kid was diagnosed with autism, they became advocates of Dr. Rashid Buttar, an osteopathic specialist who uses chelation treatment for ailments including autism and cancer.
Their bond has only grown deeper with the passage of time. Krohn celebrated Mother's Day by sending a nice message to his wife and mother on Facebook, thanking them for everything they had done for the family.
Kris Krohn's Coach
Kris married at an early age and had a difficult time raising his family. When he realized he wouldn't be able to attend medical school, he looked for alternative options.
He once went to a conference and listened to an anonymous mentor, who subsequently urged him to keep working so that he could qualify for a home loan, which needs a two-year job history and a basic credit score.
This prompted him to set up money for the following 14 months, which was difficult given his low salary of $25K per year as a contact center representative and real estate agent.
By carefully managing his three credit cards over the course of a year, he was able to save $5,000 and establish a basic credit score. He purchased his first home with a $3,500 down payment and a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan. He rented out the basement, which paid his whole mortgage payment.
Kris Krohn: Where Did He Begin?
Kris eventually bought the house for $110,000. The house's worth climbed to $140K after a year of occupancy, giving him $30K in equity. He bought his second property with the $30K equity he had built up.
Krohn saw the possibilities of real estate investing and decided to pursue it. As a result, he stuck to his plan. His father-in-law took an interest in him and offered to assist him with more investments. He told Kris, "I'll put the money and the credit where it belongs; you identify the projects and do what you do best."
He published a book about real estate investing ideas three years later. This is the first of just a few books Kris will write, as well as the programs he will build in the next years.
The Strait Path To Real Estate Wealth, by Kris Krohn
Kris' first book covers themes such as developing a $1 million game plan and deciphering real estate investment terminologies and methods, including rental houses, flipped properties, and multi-unit residential and commercial properties.
Risk-reduction methods and creating an investor's attitude are also covered in the book.
The Conscious Creator: Six Laws for Manifesting Your Masterpiece Life by Kris Krohn
This is a self-help book that encourages readers to push through personal barriers and find their own unique life purpose in order to become more productive and inventive. Kris claims that by following one's passion and embracing authentic and empowering ideas, one may gain money.
Kris Krohn: The sky is the limit.
The book is about living a life by design, not by default, as the title indicates. It asserts that you can have it all. It appears to be a revised edition of his prior work.
Kris Krohn's programmes
He has two audio CD packages available: The Ultimate Investment Experience and Enlightened Finance System, each of which has seven audio CDs.
Founder of Strongbrook Group, Kris Krohn
He co-founded The Strongbrook Group with Kevin Clayson and Stephen Miller, and he is the founder and face of the company.
Kris Krohn and his colleagues run Strongbrook, which includes a real estate firm, a mortgage brokerage firm, property management teams, a life insurance firm, multiple holdings, and client coaching personnel.
They created these businesses to preserve and manage Strongbrook clients' wealth and assets in a comprehensive manner. These businesses serve as Kris Krohn's conduits for creating and growing their clients' real estate portfolios through referrals and direct sales.
Kris touts himself as a proponent of partnering, which he defines as the creation of long-term and strategic connections between consumers and suppliers.
What are the prices of Kris Krohn's programs?
On his website, he gives his e-book The Strait Path to Real Estate Wealth for free, but charges for his other services.
His 10x Real Estate training films with 12 concepts, which were initially priced at $1,689, are now available at a reduced price of $197. His Maverick program, which claims you can make millions in real estate even if you don't have any money, is priced at $8K but is only available for a short time for $997. The Lease Option Pro 5K club offers to teach you how to raise $5,000 without spending any money.
Disclaimer from Kris Krohn
Kris gives a disclaimer on his Limitless TV YouTube channel, saying, "Kris Krohn is not in the business of providing personal, financial or investment advice and specifically disclaims any liability, loss or risk, which is incurred as a consequence, either directly or indirectly, by the use of any of the information contained in this document."
It also emphasizes that none of the materials provide professional services, and that he does not recommend any particular investments, investment strategies, advisers, or financial service businesses.
Is Kris Krohn a Scam or Legit?
Because of the various reactions to his programs and claims, it's difficult to give a definitive answer to this topic. Here's an example of negative Reddit comments, with some accusing him of being involved in a multilevel marketing (MLM) operation.
According to Goodreads, his book The Strait Path to Real Estate Wealth had mixed reviews, with the majority of them verging on good. His previous novels garnered mostly positive feedback as well.
The SEC's Complaint from 2012
The Securities and Exchange Commission charged Kris, his brother Michael, and Stephen R. Earl in 2012, alleging that their real estate investment business, The Companies, defrauded 169 investors by overvaluing the properties to be acquired and overstating the financial soundness of their operations.
The SEC filing went on to say; "To raise money to purchase real estate, The Companies or its subsidiary, Alpha Real Estate Holdings, L.P. ("Alpha LP"), initiated four unregistered offerings of securities from January 2009 to June 2011. The four offerings raised a total of approximately $11.9 million from approximately 169 investors."
In 2008, Krohn and Earl founded The Companies to manage their other enterprises, including the Real Estate Investors Club (REIC). An investor or member of REIC pays $8K for tuition and assistance in acquiring properties that may be rented out and then sold for a profit, exactly like Krohn did when he first started.
Krohn vs. No Case Filed
The three, on the other hand, resolved the matter before the federal regulators could initiate a lawsuit. They agreed to pay $75K apiece and to refrain from violating US securities laws in the future. Payment, on the other hand, is neither an acknowledgment of guilt nor a rejection of the facts of the case.
"The Companies" was obligated to inform all investors of the settlement, furnish them with audited financial documents, and refund their funds.
"The Companies" has subsequently been renamed Strongbrook Group, but is still unaccredited by the Better Business Bureau, owing to the fact that they did not apply for it.
Kris Krohn's net worth is unknown.

What is Kris Krohn's source of income?
Kris claims to own 400 homes, and his organization has handled over $400 million in real estate transactions.
He continues to rent-to-own houses as well as sell and rent assets.
On his website and other online platforms, Krohn has established training programs and e-books. According to a forum poster who enquired about Krohn's partnership scheme, one must pay between $10,000 and $25,000. The purchase price ranges from $2K to $5K, and each property has a 50/50 equity share. He noted that a partner may theoretically make 10% to 12.5 percent each year.
Krohn speaks at conferences about his Limitless book, which focuses on personal growth and mindset conditioning, as a motivational speaker. In addition, he continues to host $497 real estate conferences.
Kris Krohn's Car and Residence
Kris drove his BMW I8, which cost at least $150K, and showcased one of his homes on YouTube in 2018 to establish that he is not a con artist.

THE AMERICAN'S DISTRUST OF THE IMMIGRANT.
By Dr. A. J. McLAUGHLIN,
U. S. PUBLIC HEALTH AND MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE.
OPPOSITION to immigrants is not new. Even in the convention that framed the Constitution a minority looked with distrust at the alien. A little later came the Alien Act of John Adams's administration. Again, in 1812, the Hartford Convention proclaimed 'The stock population of these states is amply sufficient to render this nation in due time sufficiently great and powerful.' During the discussion of the bill to establish the territorial governments of Kansas and Nebraska, Senator John M. Clayton, of Delaware, introduced in the Senate an amendment confining the elective franchise to native Americans; but, although some prominent statesmen warmly favored the measure, sense of justice and a prudent regard for the national welfare triumphed over narrow race prejudice, and the amendment was lost. In the debate on the bill dealing with preemption rights of settlers on public lands, approved May 29, 1830, Senator Merrick, of Maryland, offered an amendment barring aliens from such rights; but again there were enough clear heads and broad minds to prevent the measure from becoming a law. Finally, in the early fifties, opposition to the alien culminated in the Know-Nothing movement, when misguided fanatics, actuated by insane jealousy of foreigners, not only discriminated against all aliens, but attempted actual persecution.
By 1855, however, the immigrant had proved his usefulness and opposition lessened. He had convinced the intelligent American that he was not a menace, but an indispensable upbuilding force. From this time, therefore, up to a few years ago, he was subject to little or no restriction on entering our ports. It is fortunate for our growth that the immigrant of those early years was of a caliber vastly superior to that of the immigrant of to-day. To-day the immigrants are mostly of other stock than were those who gave us their brawn and muscle and indomitable courage to conquer a wilderness. It was national economy to avail ourselves of their services. They cut down the forests, dug the canals, and built the railroads, thus making our national life possible long before it could have existed without their assistance. These were the days when the immigrants were the German, the Irishman and the Scandinavian.
Of late there has been a rebirth of distrust of the immigrant. That this feeling exists and is even stronger than ever is attested by the numerous magazine and newspaper articles on immigration. Time and again we read protests against the 'horde of illiterates' or the 'scum of Europe' or the 'pauper invasion' which is 'swarming into our country.' The articles are usually the feverish output of some enthusiastic patriot who has not come in close contact with the immigrant for any extended length of time, and whose remarks are misleading, though eloquent and readable.
That the writers are as inaccurate as they are intemperate may be seen from a consideration of one of the most frequent errors into which they fall, confusion of race with nativity. For example, observe how they use the term 'Eussian.' We receive a great many immigrants, good and bad, from Russia, but very few Russians. So called Russian immigration is composed (exclusive of real Russians, who form so small a part that they can scarcely be considered a factor) of five distinct races: Hebrews, Poles, Germans, Lithuanians and Finns. The same is true in almost as great a degree of 'Huns.' The immigrants from Austria-Hungary are commonly called Huns; but, while the race line can not be so unerringly drawn as in the case of Russia, the term does not apply racially to the majority of the immigrants. The bulk of the immigration from Austria-Hungary is made up of Hebrews, Slovaks, Poles, Croatians, Magyars (the real Huns) and Germans. This confusion of race and nativity is due to the fact that the statisticians of the past took no cognizance of race, but recorded simply the nativity of the immigrant. Writers in using these statistics jumped at the conclusion that all immigrants born in Russia were Russians, and all born in Hungary were Huns. For the past few years, however, immigrants passing through the Barge Office, or Ellis Island, have been classified according to race as well as nativity. The statistics thus compiled have a scientific value.
If we examine the cause of an American citizen's distrust of the immigrant we find that it varies according to the citizen's point of view. The mechanic fears cheap competition, resulting in low wages; the stirpiculturist, noting the poor physique and low mental caliber of some of the immigrants, fears race degeneration; the reformer, or political purist, increase of crime or pauperism and the influence of a mass of ignorant voters controlled by unscrupulous political bosses; and the law-abiding citizen fears from the immigrant, not only the germ of bodily disease, but the germ of anarchy and also favorable media for its growth.
The great majority of male immigrants are not mechanics, but unskilled laborers. If they possess the qualifications that the early immigrants established as the prime requisites of a desirable immigrant—rugged physique and willingness to work—and if there is a demand for unskilled labor and this demand is not met by Americans, then their admittance or non-admittance resolves itself, to-day as in the past, into a question of national economy. The native American does not engage in the digging of excavations, carrying the hod, or mining. No native American resents that the immigrant has turned him out of the great Pennsylvania mines. The American mechanic's objection is, however, well founded. There is quite a large class of immigrants composed of men of poor physique, with their families, admitted every year, because they are skilled in tailoring, shoemaking, baking or other trades which do not require much physical strength. These people are undesirable immigrants. They enter into direct competition with the American tradesman or mechanic, accepting lower wages and working more hours.
The American mechanic, artisan or tradesman can have no grievance against the poor unskilled laborer, who does not compete with Americans, but with other foreigners who have preceded him and who is able and willing to do work that the American will not do—work that is necessary for our industrial progress. He has, however, cause to complain of the admittance through our ports every year of the thousands of skilled laborers, tailors, shoemakers and all kinds of factory hands who fill the sweat shops and factories and tend to greatly lower the American scale of wages.
The following table gives the relative value of the different races as shown by the percentages of skilled and unskilled laborers. It also shows the percentage of each race coming here between the ages of fifteen and forty-five. It is between the ages of fifteen and forty-five that the economic value of the immigrant to the country is greatest.
Unskilled laborers are absolutely essential for our industrial progress. The demand for the necessary unskilled laborers is not satisfied by native Americans.
Skilled laborers, coming as immigrants, may or may not be advantageous to the country, but they are not necessary for our advancement. The demand for skilled laborers can, with very rare exceptions, be supplied by native Amercan applicants. Therefore, the races having the highest percentages of unskilled laborers and of immigrants between the ages of fifteen and forty-five are the most necessary and the most desirable.

Finn 82.5 85.5

Syrian 48.1 75.7
Hebrew 13.6 68.5
The reformer's reason for distrust is a grave one. It is a fact that thousands of immigrants receive qualification as voters when under the law they are clearly not entitled to it. There is no doubt that such a mass of ignorant voters constitutes a great power for evil. But the blame can hardly be charged to the immigrant; rather is it due to the unscrupulous ward politicians who thus increase their following and to the judge who grants citizenship papers without proper investigation of the applicant.
So far as the fear of loathsome and contagious disease is concerned the danger is comparatively slight. The immigrants are subjected to a rigid physical examination at Ellis Island by the officers of the United States Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service. The double system of inspection practiced there makes it practically impossible for any immigrant suffering from a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease to pass without detection. The ratio in each race of the number so affected, to the total number of that race landed, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, is here given:
Slav (Pole, Slovak, Croatian) 1 in every 7,000
Magyar 1 " 6,500
Italian 1 " 3,450
Lithuanian 1 " 1,250
Hebrew 1 " 1,100
Finn 1 " 1,000
Syrian 1 " 135
As far as the fear of increase of crime and pauperism is concerned, it is true that prison statistics usually show a majority of those convicted of crime to be foreign born. But the industrious statistician loses sight of the fact that the 'other half of the population of a great city, the poor and the needy, the underpaid and the underfed, are almost all foreign born, and it is from this class of course that we expect to fill our jails. It was not, however, his birth, but his poverty, that caused the immigrant to commit crime. We do not expect to find criminals so frequently on Fifth Avenue as on the Bowery.
Hunger may prompt a poor starving wretch to steal, and his act is a criminal offense duly recorded, but when greed of money or position or fondness for good living makes the comparatively rich man commit a 'breach of trust,' his error does not appear in prison statistics. Pauperism is the result of the absence of one or both of the prime requisites of a desirable immigrant. The pauper is either unwilling to work or lacks the physique to stand hard labor. The amount of money brought does not affect greatly an immigrant's chances of becoming a pauper. One immigrant may have little money, but with a rugged physique and willingness to work he will not become a public charge; another immigrant, too lazy for laboring work, or not physically strong, but who is admitted because he claims to be skilled in a trade requiring no great physical strength, may have considerable money and yet be almost certain to become sooner or later dependent upon some one.
There remains the question of race degeneration. On this score the coming of the German, the Irishman, or the Scandinavian no longer causes apprehension. He has demonstrated his capability of making a useful and permanent citizen. His children have attended American schools, and they enter upon life with American ideals in their heads and American patriotism in their hearts. But, as was said before, these races no longer constitute the majority of the immigrants. It is a question whether the Italian, the Jew, or the Slav is willing to merge his identity in that of the nation, and whether such a fusion would not degenerate our race. In order not to deteriorate a race the new elements blended with it should be at least as physically strong as the native race itself.
Some idea of the relative physical condition of the different races from southern and central Europe can be gleaned from the following tables:
Ratio of Immigrants by Race requiring Hospital Treatment on Arrival to the Number of that Race Landed during the Fiscal Year ended June 80, 1901:
Race. Ratio Total number of
Arrivals.
Slav (Pole, Slovak, Croatian) 1 in every 300 90,888
Magyar 1 " 250 13,311
Finn 1 " 200 9,999
Italian 1 " 185 137,807
Lithuanian 1 " 140 8,815
Hebrew 1 " 100 58,098
Syrian 1 " 35 4,064
Ratio of Immigrants Certified as having some Disability grave enough to make them Public Charges, or Dependent upon some one, by Race to the Total Number Landed during the Month of May, 1901:
Lithuanian 1 in every 1,906
Slav (Pole, Slovak, Croat) 1 " 664
Italian 1 " 172
Finn 1 " 163
Magyar 1 " 148
Hebrew 1 " 42
Syrian 1 " 29
The average immigrants are of course not only far below the average American in intellect, but are physically inferior. Sensible expectation does not look for race improvement, but rather that before the new element is assimilated the improved surroundings, better food and cleaner habitations will build up physically the immigrant parent
Ratio of Minor Defects in each Race to Number Landed. These were Defects or Conditions not grave enough for Actual Rejection, yet likely to Affect the Immigrant's Chances in making a Living or Usefulness as an Immigrant, such as Poor Physique, Anæmia, Loss of an Eye or Finger, etc. Month of June, 1900:
Finn 1 in every 81
Slav (Croat, Pole, Slovak) 1 " 65
Lithuanian 1 " 64
Magyar 1 " 40
Italian 1 " 26
stock whose children, brought up in American schools and in American environment can be assimilated without detriment to the native race. It is not the assimilation of the immigrant but of his children we have to consider.
The American's distrust of the immigrant at present is rational and natural. It is the logical sequence of the sweat shop, the increase of crime and pauperism in New York and other great cities, and of the assassin's act at Buffalo. The percentage of undesirable immigrants is no doubt higher to-day than it was twenty, thirty or forty years ago. It may even be admitted that it has been growing higher year by year during the past two decades. But we are no longer unprotected against undesirable immigrants. Restrictions on admittance have been growing more stringent year by year and a great system has been perfected on Ellis Island for sifting the grain from the chaff, that is doing splendid work, not as a dam to keep out good and bad alike, but as a sieve fine enough in the mesh to keep out the diseased, the pauper and the criminal while admitting the immigrant with two strong arms, a sound body and a stout heart.
Amendment of the present immigration laws has been suggested in some important particulars. It has been urged by a great many people that an educational requirement should be added to the law, barring all immigrants who are illiterate. A glance at the following table will show that this restriction would debar many thousands of our most desirable immigrants would, in fact, be felt most by the races furnishing us with nearly all of the unskilled labor necessary for our industrial progress. It would not, on the other hand, act as a barrier to some of the least desirable immigrants we receive. The passing of this educational amendment would have one good result: It would lessen the total number of immigrants landed and thus permit of an even more rigid examination of the immigrants upon arrival.
Other remedies suggested for the improvement of the immigration laws are raising the head tax and increasing the time of the
In the following Table by Illiterates is Meant those who are unable to Read and Write in some Language:
Race Total number landed year
ended June 30, 1901. Percentage of
illiterates.
Italians 137,807 51.26
Lithuanians 8,815 44.85
Slavs 90,888 34.07
Hebrews 58,098 23.31
Magyars 13,311 7.04
Finn 9,999 1.84
merit's jurisdiction over all landed immigrants and increasing the period of liability of the steamship company for return of undesirable immigrants from one year (the present period) to five years. Increasing the head tax from one dollar, the amount imposed at present upon each arriving alien, to five or ten dollars would probably lessen the number of immigrant arrivals. This reduction in number would be due to the fact that many large families, with children and aged dependents, would be obliged to stay in Europe; the extra five or ten dollars per head in a large family would be sufficient in many cases to make the cost of passage prohibitive. Young single men would pay $40 for passage to America almost as readily as $30; consequently the additional head tax would not greatly affect the number of single unskilled laborers. The young laborer would not go back and forth quite so often perhaps if he had to pay the additional five or ten dollars upon landing here each time.
The period of Government jurisdiction over the landed alien and the period of the liability of the steamship companies for return of undesirable aliens for cause should be extended from one year to five years, or better, until the immigrant becomes a citizen. This would enable the immigration authorities to deport within five years after landing many diseased, insane and pauper immigrants, anarchists and other criminals whose undesirability was not manifest upon landing or within one year thereafter. Relatives and interested persons would not be so ready to offer to the boards of special inquiry a guarantee that detained aliens would not become public charges if such guarantee were binding for five years instead of one year, as at present.
The enactment of these amendments into law and the enactment of stringent legislation bearing upon anarchists, together with a rigid enforcement of our naturalization laws, would go far toward dissipating the present popular distrust of the immigrant, and would still further minimize the dangers due to immigration.

12 of the most surprising things about TLC's 'Say Yes to the Dress'
Sophia Mitrokostas
"Say Yes to the Dress" has been on the air for 11 years now.

"Say Yes to the Dress" is one of television's most binge-worthy shows. The TLC hit allows viewers to watch as brides-to-be try on a host of gorgeous designer gowns in iconic New York bridal boutique, Kleinfeld.
Though the show has been a runaway success for 11 years now, there are plenty of behind-the-scenes secrets that even the most dedicated fans don't know.
You have to apply to be on the show.
There are specific questions on the application.
There's nothing accidental about the brides on "Say Yes to the Dress." Brides-to-be submit an application through Kleinfeld for a spot on the show.
The current application includes questions like: "How did you partner propose to you?"; "Are you a plus-size bride?"; "Why do you think you would be fun to watch on TV?"; and "Describe yourself in three words."
Brides can spend up to five hours taping their segments on the show.
Filming takes a lot longer than the episodes that air.

Though a normal consultation at Kleinfeld usually only lasts about 90 minutes, one bride who appeared on the show revealed that she was there for almost five hours. The interview process, coupled with the need to get many different shots of each dress, can make filming drag on for quite a while.
The shop can get crowded if you're not on the show, according to the brides.
Kleinfeld draws a huge crowd.
In a piece for Ravishly, Amanda Lauren said that the dress emporium is actually much smaller in real life than it appears on television. Lauren described her experience waiting in line for a peek at herself in a dress because she said there weren't enough mirrors and platforms to satisfy the huge crowds the shop attracts.
People who have been on the show say producers try to stir up drama amongst the bride's entourage.
It's a reality show, so they want drama.
In an interview with 417, "Say Yes to the Dress" bride Courtney Wright said that the film crew definitely tries to keep things interesting in front of the camera.
"You can tell that they want to stir up some drama. If someone says something that could potentially cause a disagreement, the director asks you questions about it," Wright said.
Brides might not get to choose who goes shopping with them, according to a woman who appeared on the show.
Producers choose who gets to come with the bride, according to a bridesmaid.
In her interview with 417, Courtney Wright said that brides must write out descriptions of the people they are considering bringing with them to their appointment at Kleinfeld.
According to Wright, these blurbs include "what their personalities [are] like, if they got along with everyone else, what upsets them, what they would disagree with, and things like that."
After reading the descriptions, the producers choose up to three guests to accompany the bride on the show, according to Wright.
The crew may coach the bride and her guests on what to say.
A bride waits to hear feedback on the TLC show.
In her interview with 417, bride Courtney Wright described being coached on how to speak about the dress by the show's film crew.
"They would ask us things, like 'What kind of dress are you looking for?' Then we'd all put our two cents worth in, and they'd stop us and say, 'Say what you said again, but say it like this,'" Wright revealed.
One bride sued the show after her episode aired before her wedding.
Alexandra Godino on "Say Yes to the Dress."
According to an interview with the New York Post, Alexandra Godino sued "Say Yes to the Dress" because it aired her episode before her wedding.
Godino said in the lawsuit that she received a verbal promise from the show's producers that they would not air her episode until after her May 2016 wedding. When the episode was scheduled to air in March 2016, Godino sued.
Godino lost the emergency suit to block the episode from airing but had plans to sue the show's production company for monetary damages. It's unclear if she was ever compensated for the show revealing her $20,000 dress.
Unsatisfied brides might not get a refund.
Kleinfeld dresses can be very expensive.
One bride who appeared on "Say Yes to the Dress" sued Kleinfeld after she alleged that her custom dress was made with the wrong fabrics and in the wrong size.
According to TMZ, which saw the lawsuit, bride-to-be Randi Siegel-Friedman tried to return the custom dress to Kleinfeld but she said she was refused a refund. Instead, Siegel-Friedman says she wore a sample dress off the rack instead of the $12,000 dress she ordered.
Even if their wedding is called off, brides might still have to see their episode on TV.
Singer Elle King on "Say Yes to the Dress."
A canceled wedding won't stop TLC from airing a bride's episode. Singer Elle King learned this firsthand when the network broadcast her hunt for the perfect dress even after the performer skipped her own wedding in April 2017.
There's a good reason every other gown on the show seems to be a Pnina Tornai.

Ever wonder why it seems like every bride ends up trying on a gown designed by Israeli dressmaker Pnina Tornai? You're not imagining things. The truth is that Tornai is actually one of Kleinfeld's primary vendors and is the only designer with an in-store boutique. Brides appearing on the show are usually offered a Tornai gown because there are simply so many of the designer's dresses in stock.
Every bride gets the owners' personal cell phone numbers.
The owners make the customers feel important by giving them their cell phone numbers.
Viewers of "Say Yes to the Dress" are probably familiar with Kleinfeld co-owners Mara Urshel and Ronnie Rothstein. In an interview with Brides in 2016, Urshel insisted that every Kleinfeld bride receives the personal cell numbers of both owners. This is intended to make their customers feel cared for and important.
Most of the dresses at Kleinfeld are stashed away in a storeroom.
There aren't that many dresses on display.
If your vision of the perfect Kleinfeld experience involves browsing thousands of beautiful dresses, the reality of shopping at the famous boutique might disappoint.
In a piece for Ravishly, Amanda Lauren said that most of the dresses at Kleinfeld are actually kept in a massive storeroom. It's up to the customer to describe her perfect gown to her consultant, who then goes into the storeroom and selects a few contenders.
And according to BuzzFeed, there are actually three stockrooms that attendants must search through, all organized by dress shape and designer.
