Say Yes to the Dress

I have always loved this show. I have watched it for years. Randy is terrific, sweet, professional and very knowledgeable.

The new guy Shae, I do not care for. I actually find it a little offensive. A youngish guy, in the dressing room with nearly naked women. I don''t know what they were thinking, but I want them to return to all women dressers.

Randy is fantastic. He understands his brides and is genuinely passionate about putting them in the right dress that will make their wedding day special. It must be frustrating when you get a bride in the store who has no intention of buying a dress and just wants to visit Kleinfield's because it's the place to go. I watched the episode ' A Surprising Turn of Events' and I knew the bride Victoria was just such a bride. She said she has been to 24 stores and I think that the sales lady knew she right off the bat that she would not be purchasing a dress. Thank heavens she only tried on a few dresses and then it was suggested she leave and think about it. Of course you knew she would not come back. It's such a waste of time when they take away the time that the sales people could spend with other brides who are genuine buyers.

I just started watching the first season. I started watching it out of boredom because I couldn't think of anything else to watch. The only episodes I really haven't liked for the ones were the Brides who are trying on gowns that look like lingerie. You know, the ones where their breasts are practically falling out of the front and they've got so many see-through panels in the dress that she can't wear underwear not even a thong.

Personally, this show is not for me, by far. But my daughter likes it. So instead of me giving it a 1, I gave it a 6. Women in the bride-state-of-mind would enjoy this show, but speaking for this male half of the species, the show makes me ill. On the plus side, there are worse shows.

For a man, it is strange to define this show. It is a galery of bride portraits. Amusing, dramatic, bizarre, In same measure, can be fascinating to discover the dreams of women becoming true. And, sure, it is a show about image, family and self definition. Nice. And, in few moments, fascinating.
