When I previously mentioned
, my dreams of marrying

Brittney Griner

were cruelly shattered not long ago. But I didn’t desire to be among those sour queer biddies exactly who stitches 5EvaAlone patches in their tear-soaked bamboo or which makes voodoo dolls of

Magnificence Johnson

(because homegirl is too good for a spiritually-invoked retribution and I also have actually a crush on her as well). Brittney did not desire that for me or you often. Happily for me, you equally heart-broken queers, together with ten added kitties I would personally have or else used to help keep my business, Brittney and Glory realized all of our discomfort and offered us an episode of

Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta

for all of us to enjoy forever a lot more, ’til death — or perhaps the conclusion of tv — do we part.

Season eight, event ten of

State Indeed towards the Outfit: Atlanta

, basically aptly entitled “like and Basketball,” starts with these basic store stylists preparing for their particular after that assignment. Whenever the head hair stylist declares that Brittney Griner will likely be during the bridal store, among stylists seems to lose her crap. As do I.

Glory amazingly looks on display screen and presents the woman entourage of Unfriendly Black Hotties, such as the woman famous fiancée, Brittney Griner. Fame and Brittney give an explanation for start regarding impressive romance: they played baseball in school as competitors. Glory claimed the most important jump-off and in the future Brittney claimed anything else. Brittney’s love #SorryNotSorry and I also can inform that this occurrence is likely to be actual aggressive.

Brittney acknowledges that she was actually attracted to Glory from beginning. Fame tried to withstand Brittney’s appeal and charm in case that have been possible, there wouldn’t were a million heart-broken woman platform is gay around the world mourning (yet still kinda honoring) Brittney and Glory’s certain wedding ceremony. The 2 began internet dating after college, while having experienced rainbow satisfaction ever since. Magnificence clarifies which they’d choose embark on a cruise that leads to Hawaii, where in fact the two can lawfully marry facing their loved ones.

This lovefest is short lived simply because they got twenty moments of TV time for you to get a hold of Glory a dress. Brittney clarifies that she doesn’t understand shit about outfits but that she desires fame to put on a dress that displays down the woman human body. I’m pleased that Brittney is actually initial about her dykey needs. She wishes “more bride, less dress,” and all sorts of the queer viewers say, “Amen.” Magnificence’s sibling requires it upon by herself to offer the complete opposite path for outfit selections. Homegirl says that she’d want to see fame in a dress with which has a long practice and Brittney looks like she’s willing to revoke homegirl’s to an impression.

This event is high limits with no you have actually touched a dress yet. Glory announces, “we mightn’t be true to ourselves if there clearly wasn’t some competition. I am thrilled to see who is going to choose best dress.” Brittney along with her sibling J forge group fits, while Grace and Judy, Glory’s sisters, kind Team Dresses. After a couple of minutes rummaging through outfits, Grace and Judy discover a number of outfits they believe their particular cousin should. Grace features an obvious benefit because she is known magnificence for always, recognizes as a fashionista and confesses that “she loves challenging.” In a different sort of part in the store, group Suits discovered nothing. The battle is indeed genuine and I’m perhaps not actually certain why Team Suits had been very persuaded they would end up being feasible competition. At some point, Brittney really believes she’s eventually found a dress that actually works but after she sees Glory’s face, the woman is not too positive.

At some point group Suits takes this mannequin hostage because you will want to? In the event the mannequin mentioned indeed into the gown, precisely why would not the bride?

Correct talk though: there have been several times whenever I have-been buying and I really and truly just planned to make the mannequin’s getup and refer to it as each and every day. Considering the fact that group fits hasn’t just found the most wonderful dress, but additionally have actually revealed the truth about capitalism and marketing and advertising, they grab a rest to complete some catwalking.

The stylists choose go with clothes group meets selected first. Fame is actually astonished that she even wants the dress at all since Team Suits scarcely know what an outfit is actually and kidnapped a mannequin in the process of searching, but she debuts it for her entourage. At first, Glory is radiant and singing praises on the dress; Team Suits is actually excited but Glory’s siblings disprove since it is not form fitting below magnificence’s waist. In Team Dresses defense, Glory and Brittney

said

that they wished the dress is form-fitting but I additionally think group Dresses were playa hating. Brittney and Grace go for about to place straight down and I kinda desire this show to visit all Jerry Springer for a hot second.

Before a fight breaks away, Glory heads back to the dressing room to try on choice chosen by group Dresses. Magnificence is in love with this particular dress and even though she don’t say downright that the woman siblings acquired, she actually is surely satisfied. The dress is form fitting entirely down to her toes like Glory wished, but when Glory shows clothes with the Unfriendly dark Hotties, Team meets isn’t amazed. J claims, “it appears to be like youwill an award’s tv show,” while Brittney contends it doesn’t always have enough bling. Fame changes the woman mind and believes to check out some different alternatives.

Nevertheless, among the store stylists is not as basic since the stylists on SYTTD tend to be, and she redirects the group. She says to them that while it’s fantastic that everyone’s already been having a good time, the dress shopping is not a-game and that it’s a significant day for Brittney and Glory. The stylist suggests Glory to test on a dress that

she

chosen, which — i do believe — is a healthier method to advertise the bride’s autonomy and agency.

Magnificence attempts on about four dresses by herself and starts to undergo the things I choose call Restless suitable Syndrome or RFS. RFS occurs when I go shopping and that I know I want to find a dress that will aid a specific function, but after attempting on almost every screwing bit of material that may suit me we start getting very anxious and insecure. Suddenly, it looks like we possibly need to go home empty-handed — that I detest undertaking because I need to complete the thing I start — or I have to select a thing that looks poor on me personally. Typical signs and symptoms of RFS are: perspiring uncontrollably which means you must have to cease trying on garments, a very good desire to begin tearing, consuming, or using up all garments within a ten mile distance, desperately purchasing every thing except the single thing you wanted to buy, or creating manifestos you might never send to developers which can not generate clothing that fit bodies correctly. The Unfriendly Ebony Hotties watch for 5 mere seconds in TV time, which probably correlates to twenty minutes instantly and 3 hrs in what some Ebony individuals affectionately consider as CPT (coloured People energy). After a series of uneasy baseball puns, the stylists bring Brittney back into the dressing place to see if my former future spouse may do almost anything to help the lady real future spouse.

All of our brave woman gay, Brittney Griner, swoops in to improve magnificence’s self-confidence. She reminds fame that she’s breathtaking and this she doesn’t have maintain viewing clothes that day if she does not want to. Glory, just like the champ this woman is, is not going to surrender, and after a few cuddles and kisses from my — after all

the woman

soulmate, magnificence is ready to hold looking.

Eventually, magnificence emerges in gown #7, and she looks just like incredible and perfect as she looked in every single different dress, except this time everybody else acknowledges that fame is a stunning person in an attractive outfit therefore can die pleased today.

Brittney is actually overloaded from the feels and starts crying. Depends upon weeps together.

Glory states indeed for this outfit and after every one of the rips additionally the happy feels, this girl brings it back to competitors by announcing that she obtained. Swerve. I got so involved from inside the tears and gayness that We forgot that Brittney and Glory made clothes searching a tournament. Let me make it clear, this girl did win because she squeezed group Suits and group Dresses on Team Glory. After that event, I’m certain she had gotten some bitter butt queers making Glory voodoo dolls on Team Glory. This show is truly Say indeed to the fame and that I’m 100% about this.

Finally, you will find three essential take aways using this episode of proclaim sure on magnificence.

1. Glory usually gains. She foreshadowed it at the beginning. She won 1st jump-off between Brittney and herself. She won Brittney’s cardiovascular system. She victories at existence.
2. If you suffer from RFS, merely get a female gay to kiss see your face and remind you that you’re a fucking goddess. Are we able to mandate this take away? Consensual girl homosexual kisses regarding!
3. Brittney Griner is the greatest potential future wife actually ever for giving us, heartbroken queers, this episode to view on replay once we skip the girl.
