Special orders are bigger bucks...therefore bigger commissions for the consultants and higher profits for the store. Many brides who come to Kleinfelds come for that 'one-of-a-kind' experience and are not looking for off the rack. I agree Prashanthi's choice was perfect for her...her brother-in-law was darling. My ex-hubs was like that, puddled up over all kinds of things...he walked our daughter down the aisle snuffling & teary...it was fabulous. Same when he met our youngest grandson for the first time...I plopped the little blanket bundle in his arms and the tears just overflowed.

I've seen Lisa & Paula this season...but the one I miss the most is Keisha...even after all these years.

It's a real sin to tank your interview...had I been going on a DCC panel interview I'd be so prepared I'd even know Emmitt Smith's shoe size! (12-1/2 for those interested)

I really want to know exactly what that thing was on the guy’s butt. I’m assuming Dr. Lee sent it to be biopsied. I remember her telling patients biopsy results on previous shows.

It was a lipoma on a short stalk. Seemed to be very easy to remove and hide the scar. Great result.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was intentional, it's a look with fishnets. Myley Cyrus wears it all the time to show how edgy she is

Did anybody else get a little creeped out when they showed the growth on a clearly mail male ass & female hands squeezing it?

Drag Queen with fake nails. His roomie had to help him dress because of the nails. The guy with the head cysts broke my heart a little bit. He'd had one removed that while successful was traumatic for him. His results were fabulous.

Back to Gina...the world has had poor role models forever...my era had Twiggy...the girl was a stick...she was about 5'7" and weighed in at about 100 pounds...At 5'6" 128# and a solid size 8 the girl made me feel self conscious & fat. I was so happy when she went out of style...my lowest weight as an adult is 121...and I could be the poster child for starving children everywhere...even my doctor wasn't impressed. My ribs showed in a very unflattering way. I don't have a small frame, so my healthy weight is about 145 as my mature self.

I really liked the first dress the chef tried on. Not as impressed with Randy's. But she liked it, so that's what matters. 

The bride who wanted a black dress should've shopped at a Halloween store. At least she picked a dress that didn't have her boobs hanging out. 😒

I hear that! She didn't want her boobs hanging out, yet the top she wore (which I thought was sooo cute) let her oversize boobs hang right on out. Fortunately the dress she decided on was a sample. Her fininshed garment should have a larger cup.

I've heard "Brecken" before, but on a man. It's a mountain range in Wales! But it's straightforward to pronounce, not common and not offensive...it is gender bender, but so are so many names these days. 

If I'm stuck on how to pronounce something I'll ask my student "pronounce your name for me, please"...they are very accommodating and I make a point to remember for next time.

I sometimes get frustrated with the entourages too-especially like the "Nan" and the "fashionista" sister in the English show. I just want to yell at them-this isn't YOUR wedding and this isn't YOUR dress! So shut up and let the poor bride pick what she likes! Why do these brides worry so about what the others think? It's your day so pick a dress you like and who cares what someone else likes. 

"Nan" was a pain, but she was at least honest. That bride was sounding very selfish & entitled...and did what she wanted in the end. The fashionista sister was just pulling 'big sister' weight...My older sister & I have such different styles she'd never have been able to be a force in my wedding...(I sucked it up and wore a pink dress in hers...I hate pink, she wore the purple one in mine without a comment...and wore it several times after). Keep in mind the busty bride was wearing a sample. Her gown will have a better fitting top. I would use wider straps, however for better support & balance.

Also sorry if this has been posted before but I’m pretty sure former DCC Milan is trying out for the GSW! I’ve caught her in some of their Insta stories and she posted a story with her fam in GSW gear, presumably on the way to watch her in finals!

Milan is from Los Gatos, about 50 miles from downtown San Francisco where GSW plays. Perhaps it's time to come home.

Re: The woman with the cysts- She said it was a hereditary condition, her grandfather and mother have it too. If her sons do inherit this condition, hopefully they will receive treatment early. 

Neurofibrometosis is hereditary...so even if her sons don't develop the disease it's likely they are carriers so their children may be affected. She looked great after treatment...other than her teeth...to really push her life forward she'll need to deal with her teeth.

A grandson murders his 91 year old grandmother and 23 years later he gets charged.  I have to wonder what his 23 years of freedom were like. Did he end his drug use?   Was he constantly breaking the law?  Could he even look his mother in the eyes or could she even look at him?

Wanda was still in denial during her interview. She knew, just couldn't face it. They said it tore the family apart. So they go to arrest Sergio "You're under arrest"..."Huh? For what?"..."The murder of your grandmother in 1998"..."Oh"...I don't think his last 23 years were all that and a bag of chips...he was still hiding and not living a regular life.

I always wonder if letting the gown out a quarter of an inch or so would also solve the problem. 

Of course it would, but she'd still be obsessed with it. I couldn't see any VPL with any of the knickers she tried it with. 

Oh, and my other complaint about Kleinfeld's Stacy...that ridiculous baby doll dress did absolutely nothing for her.

at least they put something under the dress so that she wasn't naked!!  

She was all about being naked...so not impressed. I did very much like the dress itself with the lining. Not a fan of shock value brides. That desire to be soooooo extra doesn't work for me. I enjoy Gok's brides. VPL bride may have a bit of OCD...

I found Stacy the Atlanta bride irksome. She seemed so entitled. The need to spend +/-10k for wedding dresses seems wasteful to me...find one standout that makes you feel spectacular and run with it. The new designer has a very bright future. The dress was beautiful.

Shaela about ripped my heart out. She will be a stunning bride. I grew up with a blind neighbor. I love that she will have a 'regular' life. She went to public kindergarten where she fell off the monkey bars and broke her leg...the teacher called the mom "I can take Janie blind. I can take Janie with a broken leg...but I cant do blind WITH a broken leg" Janie sat it out a home until her leg healed. She went to public high school, graduated with honors, played beautiful piano, college educated, became a social worker, lived on her own. Sadly, her original tumor returned, was inoperable this time and she died at 29...

I bought my nephew some shirts from Belk LOL. I don't think it's such a bad store, not a whole lot different than Macy's. Sorry you couldn't get the top, it's really nice...I guess Kelli bought the last one 😂

Quality is really good overall. I live in San Francisco, some of the best shopping in the world, but there is a style difference between here & and the South...

Watching Pluto now. Vivian did her poem, and Kelli is talking to Ashley Pro in the office. I never noticed, Kelli is wearing the "airport do" top from the Belk fashion show LOL

I noticed it right away...and actually went on the Belk website to find it...was gone by the time the showed aired, so didn't get it. I shop at Belk.com frequently...I've seen some of K & J's stuff, but my taste is usually very different...mostly, I think, they dress too young for their current ages...just too trendy, rather than fashionable and modern.

So many people don't have clear understanding of the medical system. As well, they have not been taught to be resourceful...then factor in insurance, personal finance, transportation and fear topped by fear of doctors...

I suspect, since he often had leakage, that the shear weight of the tumors compressed the underlying glands to expel their goo, collapsing the chamber and just growing another layer on top.  What amazes me is after the rhinophymas are removed (like the recently repeated show of the guy with a double-sized nose that she scraped/lasered into shape), that the skin develops pores rather than just a mass of scar tissue.

Agreed. And the massive blood supply that fed that thing was mentioned along with possible blood loss during the procedure could prove fatal. The tumors were weighed & measured and sent to pathology...standard procedure (but they left that out). 

Russell's result was miraculous. So very impressed. Two months after a procedure like that the wounds aren't fully healed. All that redness will fade and the skin tones will even out considerably. The nostril will probably always be slightly asymmetrical, but improve. The nose itself may become straighter over time as well now that it's not being pressured out of place by the weight of the tumors..

 

[Dr. Pimple Popper - General Discussion]

She's very disciplined about where she puts her hands, so does wash after she touches anything. It's true that the only way to really assess the skin is to touch it barehanded. Any area being treated surgically is scrubbed, they just don't waste time filming it, and really, don't need to see it. 

[2021 Auditions, Finals, and Training Camp]

Just keep in mind that DCC/TCC are weighed weekly (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). So if Gina has dipped below a normal-for-DCC of her height, THEY KNOW. And I'm thinking it will be addressed, or has already been.

[Say Yes To The Dress - General Discussion]

I so enjoyed this episode...though I think I'd have excused Dance Mom...she just wanted to control the appointment and make sure SHE was the one who had to approve. She didn't care about any of her daughters' feelings or opinions. And I can't understand why NONE of the consultants mentioned "this is a sample, when it's fitted to your body these "flaws" will disappear. I liked Daniela's dress although the neckline was far to low. And I liked the veil. I would add something to where the top of the veil fits the back of her head. Virtual bride did a great job picking out her gown...she was a gorgeous bride.

I've gotten used to some pretty gross stuff on this show, but I was watching Roger through my fingers like it was Nightmare on Elm Street. I'm having all this psychosomatic scalp itching just writing about it. I desperately need to see those things come off his face before I can have peace. He needed his own Very Special Episode.

I think there's something else going on besides a lack of insurance. Maybe he had a bad experience with a doctor 10 years ago and was scared to go back. Maybe he's undocumented and feared arrest. Maybe he's just been too ashamed to leave his house since his face turned into a horror movie. Maybe he refused to go anywhere but his local area and the local doctor didn't have the capabilities. I suspect that a social worker could have found a public hospital or charitable private practice to treat this.

When the patients say "I went to the doctor and he didn't care at all," my guess is that it's often more complicated than that. The doctor or the practice put some kind of barriers in front of the patient, and they interpreted it as not caring. I'm not blaming the patients -- the system is the problem for putting the barriers up -- but I think most doctors and nurses care.

I agree on several points. I'm currently trying to help a niece with some significant medical problems. Her mom has talked to her doctors then says "they can't do anything for her"...but when I talk to her doctors (with her permission), we can lay out a plan to move forward, yet niece is often noncompliant. She says she's too scared. The mom is very hard of hearing, so doesn't hear most of what's said and what she does hear she doesn't understand yet wants total control...keep in mind this is a 69yo woman and her 87yo mother.

I cannot imagine why Dr. Lee and the other doctor would think they could remove that in an office setting.  I'm no doctor, but that poor man needed to be put under sedation in order to remove that.  I can't imagine how much pain he would have been in.  Not enough numbing solution could have made him comfortable.   I have watched all her shows and youtube videos, but this was disturbing to me.  They should immediately made arrangements for a hospital operation.  The clips from next week show they did make that decision.

This could have been removed in the office had they not discovered the plexus of blood vessels feeding this thing. It's a secondary finding; they expected 1-2 larger vessels, not "a snake den". There was no guarantee they could control the bleeding, so off to the hospital they go.
