As I earlier mentioned
, my personal dreams of marrying

Brittney Griner

had been cruelly shattered not long ago. However, I didn’t desire to be among those intolerable queer biddies just who stitches 5EvaAlone spots into their tear-soaked bamboo or exactly who tends to make voodoo dolls of

Glory Johnson

(because homegirl is simply too okay for a spiritually-invoked retribution and that I have a crush on the too). Brittney didn’t wish that for me or you either. The good thing is in my situation, you just as heart-broken queers, additionally the ten extra kitties I would personally have usually adopted keeping my personal company, Brittney and Glory comprehended the pain and provided you an episode of

Say Yes on the Outfit: Atlanta

for people to enjoy permanently much more, ’til death — and/or end of tv — can we part.

Month eight, event ten of

Say Certainly into the Outfit: Atlanta

, that’s aptly called “appreciation and Basketball,” begins with all these basic shop stylists getting ready for their particular after that assignment. After head hair stylist declares that Brittney Griner is going to be within bridal store, one of the stylists seems to lose the woman crap. As perform we.

Fame magically looks on screen and presents the woman entourage of Unfriendly Black Hotties, including the woman infamous fiancée, Brittney Griner. Glory and Brittney explain the beginning of these impressive romance: they played basketball in university as competitors. Fame obtained 1st jump-off and from that point on Brittney obtained anything else. Brittney’s similar #SorryNotSorry and that I can inform this particular event will likely be actual competitive.

Brittney admits that she was drawn to Glory through the get-go. Fame made an effort to resist Brittney’s allure and charm however, if which were possible, there wouldn’t have now been so many heart-broken girl gays world wide mourning (but nevertheless kinda celebrating) Brittney and Glory’s imminent wedding ceremony. The two began matchmaking after college, and then have experienced rainbow bliss since. Magnificence clarifies that they’d will embark on a cruise that ends in Hawaii, where two can legally wed before themselves.

This lovefest is actually brief since they had gotten twenty mins of TV time and energy to find fame a dress. Brittney clarifies that she doesn’t know shit about gowns but that she wants Glory to put on a dress that shows down the woman human body. I am pleased that Brittney is actually initial about her dykey needs. She wants “more bride, significantly less outfit,” and all sorts of the queer viewers state, “Amen.” Magnificence’s sis takes it upon by herself to own opposite way for outfit alternatives. Homegirl claims that she’d like to see fame in a dress which has had a lengthy train and Brittney seems like she’s ready to revoke homegirl’s right to an opinion.

This episode is actually high limits with no you’ve got actually moved an outfit but. Magnificence announces, “we mightn’t be true to ourselves if there isn’t some competition. I’m excited to see who can pick out a outfit.” Brittney and her aunt J forge Team meets, while Grace and Judy, Glory’s siblings, type Team Dresses. After a few moments rummaging through gowns, Grace and Judy look for a bunch of gowns that they think their unique sibling will like. Grace has actually an obvious advantage because she’s recognized Glory for usually, determines as a fashionista and confesses that “she loves challenging.” In another corner from the store, Team meets are finding absolutely nothing. The challenge can be so real and I also’m perhaps not in fact certain why group matches had been so persuaded they might end up being feasible competition. At one-point, Brittney in fact believes she’s ultimately discovered a dress that actually works but after she sees Glory’s face, she actually is not too confident.

Eventually Team Suits takes this mannequin hostage because have you thought to? In the event the mannequin mentioned indeed with the gown, precisely why would not the bride?

Correct talk though: there were several times while I have already been shopping and that I actually just planned to make the mannequin’s getup and refer to it as per day. Considering that Team matches has not yet merely discovered the right gown, additionally have disclosed the real truth about capitalism and advertising, they take some slack to-do some catwalking.

The stylists decide to opt for the dress Team meets picked out initially. Fame is amazed that she also wants the dress at all given that Team meets barely understand what a dress is and kidnapped a mannequin in the process of looking around, but she debuts it on her behalf entourage. To start with, Glory is glowing and vocal praises into the outfit; group fits is really thrilled but Glory’s sisters disprove because it’s maybe not form fitting below Glory’s waist. In Group Dresses security, Glory and Brittney

said

which they wished clothes becoming form fitting but In addition believe Team Dresses were playa hating. Brittney and Grace are about to put down and that I kinda want this tv series to go all Jerry Springer for a hot second.

Before a battle breaks away, Glory heads back into the dressing room to test regarding the option chosen by group Dresses. Fame is during love with this particular outfit and though she will not state downright that her sisters won, she’s absolutely delighted. The dress is actually form-fitting entirely as a result of the woman toes like Glory wanted, however when fame reveals the dress into Unfriendly Black Hotties, Team Suits is certainly not pleased. J states, “it appears to be like youwill an award’s tv show,” while Brittney argues so it doesn’t have adequate bling. Glory alters her brain and agrees to consider some different options.

Nevertheless, one of the shop stylists isn’t as standard due to the fact stylists on SYTTD tend to be, and she redirects the class. She informs them that whilst it’s great that everybody’s been having fun, the dress purchasing isn’t a casino game and this’s a significant time for Brittney and Glory. The hair stylist advises magnificence to use on a dress that

she

selected, which — i believe — is actually a healthy and balanced option to advertise the bride’s autonomy and agency.

Magnificence attempts on about four gowns by by herself and starts to suffer from the things I like to phone Restless suitable Syndrome or RFS. RFS is when I go purchasing and I also know i have to discover an outfit that will assist a specific objective, but after attempting on nearly every screwing little bit of material which can suit myself I start to get very stressed and vulnerable. Abruptly, it looks like we either need to go residence empty-handed — which I dislike undertaking because i have to finish what I start — or i need to select something which looks poor on me personally. Common outward indications of RFS tend to be: sweating uncontrollably you actually need to stop trying on clothing, a good desire to begin ripping, consuming, or burning all garments within a ten distance distance, anxiously buying everything except the one thing you planned to get, or creating manifestos you may never deliver to makers which can’t generate clothing that fit bodies precisely. The Unfriendly Ebony Hotties wait for 5 moments in television time, which probably correlates to twenty minutes immediately and 3 many hours in what some Black folks affectionately consider as CPT (coloured People energy). After a series of uneasy baseball puns, the stylists bring Brittney back in the dressing room to find out if my personal previous future spouse may do almost anything to assist the girl genuine potential spouse.

All of our brave woman gay, Brittney Griner, swoops into boost magnificence’s confidence. She reminds Glory that she’s beautiful and this she doesn’t have to keep taking a look at outfits that day if she does not want to. Magnificence, like the champ she is, is certainly not planning to give-up, and after a couple of cuddles and kisses from my personal — i am talking about

the woman

soulmate, fame is preparing to keep looking.

Finally, Glory emerges in outfit #7, and she appears just like incredible and perfect as she appeared in every other gown, except this time everyone else acknowledges that magnificence simply a sensational person in a gorgeous outfit therefore we can die pleased today.

Brittney is actually weighed down with all the current feels and begins sobbing. Depends upon weeps together.

Magnificence says indeed for this gown and after every one of the tears while the happy feels, this girl gives it back once again to competitors by announcing that she acquired. Swerve. I got very swept up within the tears and gayness that I forgot that Brittney and Glory made the dress searching a tournament. Let me tell you, this woman did win because she managed to get Team fits and Team Dresses on Team Glory. Following this occurrence, I’m sure she had gotten some sour ass queers producing fame voodoo dolls on group Glory. This show is actually Say Yes to the fame and that I’m 100per cent about this.

To conclude, you will find three crucial grab aways out of this bout of declare sure on Glory.

1. Magnificence usually wins. She foreshadowed it at the beginning. She acquired initial jump off between Brittney and by herself. She obtained Brittney’s cardiovascular system. She wins at life.
2. If you suffer from RFS, simply get a lady homosexual to kiss the face and advise you that you’re a drilling goddess. Are we able to mandate this remove? Consensual girl gay kisses for several!
3. Brittney Griner is the best potential future partner ever for giving us, heartbroken queers, this episode to look at on replay if we neglect this lady.
