5 Strangest Detox Diets You’ll Ever Come Across
The go-to resource for planning your detox retreats. Find all you need to know about top destinations and how to rejuvenate.
Discover Detox Retreats now
Have you ever told your friends that you’re going on a detox, only to have them raise an eyebrow? The rise and fall of so many strange detox programs over the years has no doubt given detox a bad name.
At BookDetoxRetreats.com, we seek to clear up the confusion on detox and offer a wide range of a detox retreats that might be more suitable alternatives. That said, here are some of the world’s oddest detox programs that we think are definitely on the extreme side and should be approached with caution!
As extreme as detox goes, this is by far the most extreme on the market. The Breatharian diet is technically no diet at all as it omits eating from daily life, and believes that the body only needs air, sunlight and water to nourish the body. Followers of Breatharianism believe that becoming Breatharian is a side effect of expanding one’s sphere of Consciousness. Interestingly, it rejects the idea of starvation and maintains that Breatharianism is not the same as refraining from eating.
While we don’t recommend a complete omission of food, we do encourage mindful eating and a vegan diet. If you’re interested in the idea of broadening the Consciousness, meditation is a good place to start.
The Werewolf Diet
Also known as the moon diet plan, the Werewolf diet utilizes the phases of the moon to help cleanse your body. The Werewolf diet believes that the moon has the same influence on the water in our body as it does on the oceans and tides. During the full moon and new moon phases, followers of this diet go on a water or juice fast. During this period, the flushing mechanisms in our bodies are stronger, and therefore able to flush excess toxins and water better.
The Werewolf Diet is based on Ayurvedic traditions, but taken out of context. For a better version of this diet, you may want to try the Kitchari cleanse.
The Ketogenic Enteral Nutrition Diet
The Ketogenic Enteral Nutrition Diet (KEN) is an extreme form of detox, where a naso-gastric tube is inserted into the stomach, forcing the body into starvation. In starvation mode, the body is forced to break down it’s own fats for energy. The individual is also fed a protein solution through a nasal drip for 10 days. No food is to be consumed throughout the 10-day period. Water, tea, coffee and herbal teas are permitted.
If a liquid detox is what you’re after, opt for a juice cleanse that is healthier, more wholesome and less invasive!
The Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse
Looking for a good colon cleanse? The Apple Cider Vinegar program claims to give your body a good overall cleanse and kill bacteria. This diet is less extreme as compared to the ones above as it allows food intake, but it does require you to drink a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before each meal. Apparently, Hollywood celebrity Megan Fox drank shots of it to help her flush out water weight and lose some unwantedkilos!
A good alternative to the Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse would be Colon Hydrotherapy, where this treatment specifically targets to colon by washing out contents of the large bowel.
The Baby Food Diet
Image: Creative Commons
As the name suggests, this detox regime has you eating baby food out of jars and nothing else. The rationale behind this is that baby foods are made with little to no preservatives, salt, and sugar. They are typically gluten-free and easy to digest. The diet had previously been a hit among Hollywood stars with big names such as Jennifer Aniston and Resse Witherspoon being linked to it. Thankfully, the craze has died down, and we can all safely agree that baby food should be reserved for babies!

To fill the shoes of an airport boss of 16 years standing is tough – to manage the biggest reconstruction project in your airport’s history a real challenge – but to perform both and at the age of just 34 seems a daunting task.
Yet that’s the challenge that Roko Tolic, the new general manager of Dubrovnik Airport faces, and it’s one that he feels well prepared to take on, not as a maverick, he is keen to point out, but as the head of a highly experienced team.
“I might be running an airport at the age of 34 but I am no miracle worker. It’s a great job, which carries with it many challenges and responsibilities, but I am very fortunate that from the very beginning of my career here I have had the support of a great team,” he enthuses.
Tolic, who headed security and general services at Dubrovnik from 2001 to 2009, took over from his predecessor Tonci Peović in September, and will oversee the final stages of an ambitious expansion plan to double or potentially triple capacity by 2011.
Carried out in five stages between 2005–2011, the project includes the construction of two brand new facilities – the 10,000sqm Terminal A and 13,500sqm Terminal B – and the reconstruction of Terminal C.
Designed by renowned Croatian architect, Ante Kuzmanić, the new facilities come with a €22 million price tag and between them will boast 35 check-in desks, the latest security technology and a Vanderlande baggage handling system with three carousels each capable of handling 1,200 bags per hour.
“After the reconstruction is completed, we will be able to provide high quality service to over two million passengers per annum, but as sustainable development is the hallmark of all our projects and plans we would be capable of processing three million passengers if market conditions allow,” says Tolic.
Terminal B is divided into five floors with international arrivals and domestic departures handled at ground floor and four baggage conveyor belts. International departures will operate from the first and second floors where passengers will choose from five gates and two boarding bridges.
The work has been driven by steady traffic growth at Dubrovnik as the airport benefits from growing European charter and holiday flights.
Indeed, a healthy 1.2 million passengers used the airport last year and throughput is expected to rise again in 2010, although it may still be a few years before Dubrovnik matches the record 1.6 million passengers it handled in 1987.
The expansion programme has also provided the gateway with the opportunity to take its small, outdated concessions offering to another level through the creation of bigger and better retail and F&B spaces.
In fact more than 1,500sqm of space has been earmarked for new restaurants and cafés in partnership with the Newrest Group and duty free stores in partnership with Gebr Heinemann.
This is expected to be a driver of new revenue in coming years and, according to preliminary data, non-aeronautical revenue streams now account for 28% of the airport’s income.
“Because Croatia is still not a member of the EU, duty free provides a high proportion of non-aeronautical revenue for us, once the new shopping area in Terminal B is up and running, we expect to have even better results,” enthuses Tolic.
One positive trend is the increasing sales of traditional Croatian wines and souvenirs, which will no doubt be boosted by the planned opening of the airport’s Skycellar (See box story).
While tourists provide the bulk of traffic, Dubrovnik is also experiencing an increase in business and premium traffic, which led planners to add a third floor to the terminal that includes a brand new 500sqm business lounge and gallery.
Currently earmarked for use by nine airlines, the lounge will cater to long-haul passengers, government dignitaries and the odd holidaying movie star, as the recent visits by Brad Pitt, Beyoncé and Jay-Z to the city testify.
The picturesque Adriatic coastline and medieval city of Dubrovnik are the main draw for visitors to the airport and, although Croatian Airlines and British Airways operate year-round services, other carriers operate seasonal services to the city to meet tourist demand. They include Iberia, Czech Airlines, and Aer Lingus.
However, it is the rise of low-cost carriers (LCCs) in Europe that has had the most dramatic effect on Dubrovnik Airport, with airlines such as easyJet, Norwegian Air Shuttle, TUIfly and Vueling now providing 24% of total traffic.
“The structure of our traffic has changed considerably in recent years with the arrival of low-cost carriers that are taking market share from charter airlines,” comments Tolic.
Nevertheless, there are currently no plans to provide dedicated LLC facilities at the airport he says. If it happens at all it will be after reconstruction of Terminal C.
“We think this trend will continue in the future but we are aware we must maintain a symbiosis between network carriers, low-cost carriers and charters; we are not planning to provide a separate part of the terminal in the near future,” adds the airport boss.
Tolic makes it clear that when it comes to long-term plans Dubrovnik is not seeking to become a regional hub, he’s leaving that to neighbours like Zagreb, Budapest or Belgrade. Instead, the airport is concentrating on its strengths as a tourist gateway to what is described as the Pearl of the Adriatic.
Yet Dubrovnik’s growing importance in the region and within Europe as a whole is well illustrated through its hosting of the 3rd ACI Europe Small and Medium size Airport action Group (SMAG) conference and exhibition.
The annual event, which provides small and medium size airports with a unique platform for ideas and a voice within the wider aviation community, will provide the gateway with the opportunity to showcase its ambitious development plans to the world.

Your dog may have been diagnosed with “IVDD” if he has back or neck pain with or without difficulty walking. Severely-affected dogs may be unable to walk at all. Treatment is surgical or non-surgical.
Above: Difficulty walking due to IVDD
Just like people, dogs have discs between the bony vertebrae of their spine. Disc herniation or IVDH (Intervertebral Disc Herniation) involves part of the disc moving away from its correct position. This can be a:
- disc “extrusion” (similar to a “slipped disc” in humans, and sometimes also called Hanson Type 1 herniation, or a disc “prolapse”). The centre of the disc explodes outwards through the disc’s outer fibres. Disc debris then presses against the spinal cord or nerve roots. Pain and other signs start quite suddenly
- disc “protrusion”, in which the centre of the disc shifts outward more gradually, stretching the disc’s outer fibres as it goes; or
- disc “bulge”, in which the outer fibrous part of the disc hypertrophies (becomes over-developed) making the disc bulge outward a little.
Extrusion, protrusion and bulge can all cause the disc to put pressure onto the spinal cord and nearby nerve roots. This causes the neurological signs (e.g. weak or paralysed legs, changes in skin sensation) and contributes to the pain. In severe cases of extrusion, the centre of the disc may explode out and hit the spinal cord so suddenly that this section of the cord is left concussed (damaged after being knocked), contused (bruised), or oedematous (swollen).
Above: an MRI scan of a dog’s spine. The spinal cord is the long structure marked by an asterisk. The disc extrusion is marked by a white arrowhead. In this case the disc extrusion is squashing or compressing the spinal cord. Many thanks to Canada West Veterinary Specialists for the use of this image.
Some breeds of dog are “chondrodystrophic”, e.g. the dachshund, beagle, Pekingese, French bulldog, miniature schnauzer and cavalier King Charles spaniel. This means that their cartilage develops differently to that of other dogs. In these chondrodystrophic dogs, discs degenerate while the dog is still young, i.e. the centres of the discs harden and may calcify. This hardening of the discs doesn’t itself cause the dog any pain or clinical signs but can eventually cause the disc to herniate. These breeds of dog have increased chances of getting disc extrusion, though protrusion and bulge may also occur.
Breeds of dog that are not chondrodystrophic tend to get disc protrusion or disc bulge (both of these are Hanson Type 2 herniation) rather than disc extrusion (Hanson Type 1 herniation). These dogs, e.g. Labradors and German Shepherd dogs, tend to get the problem later in life once discs have degenerated over some years.
Signs of IVDD
IVDD is a painful condition. Dogs who have a mild (grade 1) version of the condition are able to walk normally, but may show one or more signs of pain as listed below.
SIGNS OF PAIN REPORTED IN IVDD-AFFECTED DACHSHUNDS
Reluctance to walk, jump up or stand upright on hind legs
Crying or flinching when touched
Trembling, shaking and/or panting
Crying or yelping when picked up
Refusal to go down a small step or kerb
Change of mood or temperament
“Swollen” or hard abdomen
Unable to do a full body shake
Some of the signs listed above can be easily confused with those caused by a gastric upset, cystitis, pancreatitis or other problems. It’s important that your vet checks your dog carefully as these dogs can be tricky to diagnose correctly. Dogs with a gastric upset certainly won’t want to be sent to a neurologist for spinal imaging. However, to be on the safe side, if there is a possibility of pain being due to IVDD then it is sensible to avoid running and jumping until your vet gives you the all-clear.
In addition to signs of pain, more severely-affected dogs also have difficulty walking. It is most common for only the rear end of the dog to be affected in short-legged breeds such as dachshunds, i.e. the front legs work normally but the hind legs are weak or paralysed. Your dog may walk with a staggering gait rather like a drunken sailor, and he may cross his paws over or place them upside-down at times. Some dogs are unable to walk at all, but may try to pull themselves along with the front legs while dragging the rear end along behind.

Objectives. Coagulopathy is a potential complication of head trauma that may be attributable to parenchymal brain damage. The objectives of this study were to assess the frequency of coagulation defects in pediatric abusivehead trauma and to analyze their relationship to parenchymal brain damage.
Methods. We reviewed the records of 265 pediatric patients hospitalized for head trauma. One hundred forty-seven patients met study inclusion criteria: (1) radiologic evidence of head trauma, (2) multidisciplinary validation that head trauma had been inflicted, and (3) coagulation screening performed within 2 days of presentation. Using nonparametric analysis, initial coagulation test results were compared between study patients without parenchymal brain damage and those with parenchymal brain damage.
Results. Mild prothrombin time (PT) prolongations (median 13.1) occurred in 54% of study patients with parenchymal brain damage and only 20% of study patients withoutparenchymal brain damage. Among pediatric abusive head trauma patients with parenchymal brain damage who died, 94% displayed PT prolongations (median 16.3) and 63% manifested evidence of activated coagulation.
Conclusions. PT prolongation and activated coagulation are common complications of pediatric abusive head trauma. In the presence of parenchymal brain damage, it is highly unlikely that these coagulation abnormalities reflect a preexisting hemorrhagic diathesis. These conclusions have diagnostic, prognostic, and legal significance.
Only a single prospective study has reported coagulopathy to be a potential complication of pediatric head trauma.1 Case records of these 87 consecutive children indicated that minor hemostatic abnormalities were very common after traumatic head injury. Mortality was correlated with destruction of brain tissue and the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
In adults, a coagulopathy that correlates with poor survival has been recognized as a complication of traumatic brain injury.2-7Delayed brain injury may be the consequence of an acquired coagulopathy in such cases.8 If coagulation abnormalities are discovered at presentation, the risk of delayed brain injury in adults after head trauma increases significantly.9,10
A plausible hypothesis is that tissue factor released from damaged brain parenchymal cells binds to factor VII, causing activated coagulation and prolongation of the prothrombin time (PT). The tissue factor-factor VII complex activates factor X and prothrombin, occasionally leading to DIC with consequent hemorrhage. Further prospective studies will be required to verify this hypothesis.
We reasoned that coagulation abnormalities should also occur in pediatric abusive head trauma. Although this conclusion seems obvious, it has significant legal implications for practitioners who must testify in cases of pediatric inflicted head trauma. When coagulopathy is identified, appropriate child protection efforts may be terminated because of premature assertions that these coagulation abnormalities represent a preexisting hemorrhagic diathesis. Clear evidence that coagulopathy is a frequent complication of abusive head trauma is essential.
The main objectives of this study were to assess the frequency of coagulation defects in pediatric inflicted head trauma and to analyze their relationship to parenchymal brain damage. Our conclusions have diagnostic, prognostic, and legal significance.
The medical records of 265 pediatric patients with head trauma evaluated specifically for child abuse at the Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado, between 1982 and 1995 were retrospectively reviewed. Records selected for inclusion in this study met the following criteria: (1) unequivocal computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan evidence of head trauma, (2) clear validation by a multidisciplinary child protection team that the head trauma had been inflicted, and (3) coagulation screening parameters performed within 2 days of presentation.
In this study, there was variability over the 13-year period in makeup of the multidisciplinary child protection team, expertise of radiographic reviewers, knowledge and application of emerging criteria for the diagnosis of child abuse, and cranial imaging technology, sensitivity, modality, and/or frequency. Accordingly, a conservative application of study inclusion criteria was deemed essential.
The principal reasons for record exclusion from the study were: lack of acute coagulation screening (N = 70), equivocal results of multidisciplinary case review (N = 21), statistical listwise deletion of records lacking complete coagulation screening (N = 16), and absent or equivocal neuroimaging results (N = 12). To partially exclude the effects of tissue factor release from noncranial sources, patients with severe, noncranial soft tissue injuries at presentation (N = 7) were also excluded. Eight records had two or more principle reasons for study exclusion. In light of a previous study that reported fractures were of minimal importance as a cause of coagulopathy in head trauma,2 patients with fractures were not excluded.
Cranial CT and/or MRI imaging results were used to separate patients into two radiologic categories based on the presence or absence of parenchymal brain damage. Parenchymal brain damage was said to be present if there was radiologic evidence of localized brain parenchymal bleeding/contusion, frontal/parietal shearing, basal ganglia edema, cerebral edema, diffuse axonal injury, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, and/or (later) cerebral atrophy.
Initial Coagulation Testing
Statistical analysis was based on initial coagulation tests only. In this study, an initial coagulation value was defined as the first coagulation test result if obtained within 2 days of presentation for inflicted head trauma. All repeat coagulation test results were excluded from the statistical analyses. Based on the inherent unreliability of the history in cases of abusive head trauma and possible delays in seeking medical care, the actual time period between injury and initial coagulation testing may have been longer than 2 days.
The coagulation test results initially considered in this study fall into the screening category: PT, activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT), thrombin time (TT), bleeding time, platelet count, fibrinogen, fibrin degradation products (FDP), and hematocrit. In this retrospective study, bleeding time and FDP testing were carried out infrequently and therefore were not analyzed.
Coagulation Testing Methodology
The initial coagulation testing of 145 of 147 study patients (99%) was performed at The Children's Hospital, Denver, Colorado, within 2 days of admission for acute inflicted head trauma. The methodology for coagulation testing at The Children's Hospital is summarized below.
For patients admitted before 1990, PT and PTT testing were accomplished manually using the MLA (Medical Laboratory Automation, Inc, Pleasantville, NY) optical instrument. For more recent patients, PT and PTT testing were performed using an ACL 300 (Automated Coagulation Laboratory, Lexington, MA) instrument and reagents provided from Instrumentation Laboratory. TT was completed manually on a fibrometer device with Thrombostat thrombin reagent provided by Parke-Davis, Inc (Morris Plains, NJ). Bleeding time was accomplished using a General Diagnostics Simplate (Durham, NC) puncturing device. Platelet count and hematocrit determinations were performed using an automated Coulter Max-M (Miami, FL) unit. Fibrinogen values were calculated from the PT curve obtained with the ACL 300 (Automated Coagulation Laboratory) unit and PT-Fibrogen (derived) reagent supplied by Instrumentation Laboratory (Lexington, MA). FDP testing was completed manually using a latex agglutination kit from Diagnostica-Stago (Asnieres-sur-Seine, France).
Analysis of Initial Coagulation Test Results
The principal focus of this study was to explore the relationship of coagulation abnormalities to parenchymal brain damage. For this primary analysis, the results of initial coagulation testing were compared between study patients without parenchymal brain damage and those with parenchymal brain damage. In a secondary analysis, we sought to identify those coagulation tests which differentiated between survival and death in abusive head trauma patients with parenchymal brain damage. Cases lacking one or more of the coagulation test results considered in each analysis were deleted before statistical comparison. The percentage of abnormal coagulation test results in each patient category were tabulated to facilitate group comparisons. Because coagulation values were found to be highly skewed in both the primary and secondary analyses, the data were reported as medians and percentiles and the nonparametric Wilcoxan rank sum test was used rather than a Student's t test.
Evidence of Activated Coagulation
Probable evidence of activated coagulation (and presumptive evidence of DIC) was defined as: a moderately elevated PT (≥16 seconds) not attributable to vitamin K deficiency or liver disease, an elevated PT and PTT, or an elevated PT in conjunction with a low platelet count, low fibrinogen, and/or a positive FDP. The relationships of probable activated coagulation to parenchymal brain damage and to death were assessed using χ2 analysis.
The final patient sample of 147 patients included 84 male and 63 female patients. The median age of the study sample of pediatric inflicted head trauma patients was 4.5 months, with an age range of 2 weeks to 3 years, 7.5 months.
Radiologic Cranial Imaging Results
Forty-six of 147 patients (31%) were classified as having no radiologic evidence of parenchymal brain damage as previously defined (median age 5 months). The remaining 101 patients (69%) demonstrated unequivocal CT and/or MRI scan evidence of parenchymal brain damage (median age 4 months). All 32 study patients who died (100%) displayed radiologic evidence of parenchymal brain injury, whereas only 69 of 115 survivors (60%) demonstrated such findings (P< .0001).
Patients Without Parenchymal Brain Damage vs Patients With Parenchymal Brain Damage
In Table 1, the results of initial PT, PTT, hematocrit, and platelet count testing are compared between study patients without parenchymal brain damage (N = 46) and those with parenchymal brain damage (N = 101). The number of thrombin time and fibrinogen results were too small (<10) for statistical inclusion in this primary analysis. Whereas 55 of 101 study patients with parenchymal brain damage (54%) manifested initial PT prolongations, only 9 of 46 study patients lacking parenchymal brain damage (20%) had prolongations of initial PT (P= .0001). Statistically highly significant differences (P = .0001) in initial PT values between these two groups were revealed. Although PT prolongations in study patients with parenchymal brain damage appeared to be clinically mild [median 13.1; range (5th-95th percentile) 11.2–18.1], results were highly skewed (see Fig 1). Severe PT prolongations were evident in several patients with parenchymal brain damage. Statistically significant differences in initial PTT, hematocrit, and platelet count were also noted.
Patients With Parenchymal Brain Damage/Survived vs Patients With Parenchymal Brain Damage/Died
In Table 2, the results of initial PT, PTT, hematocrit, platelet count, TT, and fibrinogen testing are compared between study patients with parenchymal brain damage who survived (N = 69) and those who died (N = 32). In this secondary comparison, statistically significant differences (P = .0019) in initial PT values between these two groups were again noted. Ninety-four percent of study patients with parenchymal brain damage who died demonstrated PT prolongations that were more clinically severe [median 16.3; range (5th-95th percentile) 12.4–32.5]. As in the primary analysis, results were highly skewed (see Fig 2). Statistically significant differences in initial platelet count and fibrinogen values were also noted.
Evidence of Activated Coagulation
Whereas 37 of 101 patients with parenchymal brain damage (37%) revealed probable evidence of activated coagulation as previously defined, only 3 of 46 study patients without parenchymal brain damage (7%) revealed these changes (P = .0001). Further analysis also revealed a strong correlation between probable evidence of activated coagulation and death. Whereas only 20 of 115 survivors of abusive head trauma (17%) revealed probable evidence of activated coagulation, 20 of 32 study patients who died (63%) displayed this pattern (P < .0001).
Exclusion of Preexisting Bleeding Diatheses in Study Patients
Although limited by our retrospective study design, an effort was made to screen study patient records for preexisting bleeding diatheses. Medical records of study patients did not reveal clinical suspicion of a bleeding disorder, vitamin K deficiency, home delivery, or liver disease. Documentation of vitamin K prophylaxis perinatally was frequently absent from inpatient records at the time of head trauma. However, vitamin K deficiency is uncommon. Estimates of the incidence of classic hemorrhagic disease of the newborn before prophylaxis began range from 1 in 200 to 400 births.11Although preexisting hemorrhagic diatheses were not definitively excluded in this retrospective study, the probability of clinically significant, preexisting hemorrhagic diathesis in study patients was estimated to be very low.
Several reports have correlated head trauma with DIC and subsequent bleeding in adults. Kaufman and colleagues10demonstrated delayed bleeding after traumatic head injury in 87% of their patients who presented with DIC. By correlating laboratory with histopathological evidence of DIC, these authors verified that more severe head trauma produced greater coagulation abnormalities and pathological evidence of microthrombi. Kearney et al6demonstrated mortality after head injury to be related to decreased platelet count, decreased fibrinogen, and elevated PT—values all consistent with DIC. Finally, Stein and colleagues9reported that the risk of delayed brain injury and bleeding after head trauma increased to 85% if coagulation testing was abnormal on admission. These delayed complications of adult head trauma were significantly correlated with PT prolongation. The time interval between brain injury and secondary coagulopathy has been variously estimated from hours to days.7,8
Evidence exists for thrombin activation rather than primary fibrinolysis as the basis for the coagulopathy found in adult head trauma patients. Goodnight et al8 were the first to suggest this relationship in traumatic brain injury. Subsequently, investigators used more specific markers of thrombin activation (fibrinopeptide Bβ 15–42, d-dimer, thrombin/antithrombin complex and prothrombin fragment F 1+2) to investigate the pathophysiology and severity of the coagulopathy of adult head trauma.4,12,13 These markers were significantly higher in patients with more severe head trauma and when the coagulopathy was secondary to DIC. In two of these reports, therapeutic intervention with anticoagulants was initiated and levels of these thrombin activation peptides were followed to ascertain treatment effectiveness.4,12
Only a single study to date describes the frequency and implications of DIC in children after traumatic head injury.1 DIC was present in one third of their patient population and mortality increased fourfold when DIC was present. More severe head trauma produced a greater degree of coagulopathy and DIC. Remarkably, the frequency of at least one abnormal screening coagulation test occurring after head trauma was 71%. In this study, even trivial head trauma (by history) could produce coagulation changes.
Coagulopathy is a potential complication of severe head trauma, including pediatric abusive head trauma. Though not specific for child abuse, PT prolongation and/or activated coagulation occurred frequently in our study sample of pediatric patients with inflicted parenchymal brain damage. An isolated, elevated PT is often the result of depressed factor VII. In the absence of vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, or inherited factor VII deficiency, PT prolongation can only be the result of tissue factor release and subsequent consumptive coagulopathy. We hypothesize that head trauma causes tissue factor release from damaged brain parenchymal cells. Tissue factor/factor VII complex can subsequently activate coagulation via the extrinsic pathway, in some cases leading to DIC. A prospective study of coagulation profiles in pediatric head trauma, including assays for activated factor VII,14 tissue factor production, and markers of thrombin activation, should be carried out to confirm this hypothesis.
For prognostic reasons, we would recommend that patients with suspected traumatic parenchymal brain injury have the following coagulation screening tests performed on presentation: PT, PTT, TT, complete blood count, platelet count, fibrinogen, and FDP ord-Dimer. Serial monitoring for DIC may be required. Discovery of a prolonged PT or evidence of activated coagulation should prompt a thorough patient/family history for bleeding diathesis. In cases of suspected pediatric abusive head trauma, discovery of PT prolongation or DIC should not interfere with appropriate legal child protection efforts.
Liver disease or vitamin K deficiency should be considered. Infants less than 6 months old who had perinatal complications, are receiving antibiotics, or are breastfed are at greatest risk for vitamin K deficiency. Correction of a coagulopathy after vitamin K administration provides confirmation of this deficiency.11
Coagulopathy is a frequent complication of head trauma, including pediatric abusive head trauma. In our study, PT prolongation and activated coagulation were strongly related to the presence of parenchymal brain damage. Among study patients who died, these coagulation abnormalities were more frequent and severe. In the presence of parenchymal brain damage, it is highly unlikely that these coagulation abnormalities are attributable to a preexisting hemorrhagic diathesis. These conclusions have diagnostic, prognostic, and legal significance.

Katie Cleary's husband Andrew Stern committed suicide by shooting himself over the weekend. Certain reports suggest that Katie's cozy photos with Leo DiCaprio are the reason behind this suicide. However, Katie denies it.
This is a really sad end to Katie Cleary and Andrew Stern's 4-year marriage. The husband of former model of "Deal or No Deal" has committed suicide over the weekend.
Stern's suicide was first reported by TMZ. According to the report, Andrew Stern shot himself in the head at a shooting range in the San Fernando Valley on Sunday, June 22nd.
"On Sunday, June 22, Andrew Stern, husband of Katie Cleary, committed suicide at a shooting range in the San Fernando Valley," a spokesperson for the family said in a statement to Us Weekly.
"Andrew and Katie had been in the midst of a very amicable separation and had remained on excellent terms. This is devastating news for us but we have been aware of Andrew's longtime struggle with depression." The law enforcement agencies also said that Stern was under immense stress over "marital problems."
Last month, Katie Cleary was photographed hanging with both Leonardo DiCaprio and Adrian Grenier at the 67th Annual Cannes Film Festival in France. Her cozy photos with Leo remained the talk of the town.
See Photos of Katie Cleary below.
The America's Next Top Model star was reported to have been involved with Leo at Cannes. However, Leo denied it. And now after Katie's husband’s suicide, several reports suggest that her cozy photos with Leo are the reason behind her husband's suicide.
However, Katie Cleary denies it. She said that "her husband's suicide over the weekend had nothing to do with photos that surfaced of her hanging with Leo DiCaprio and Adrian Grenier."
Katie Cleary and Andrew Stern got married in July 2010. However, just 8 months ago, the couple split. And Stern had filed for divorce in April. The couple had a discussion on the photos but these were a "non-issue," according to Katie's rep.
However, Stern's friends hold a different opinion on this matter. And they revealed that the pics really bothered Andrew. And they said that although Andrew filed for divorce because Katie was "humiliating him by globetrotting and hobnobbing with celebs," but he still loved Katie.
"Any rumors of any kind of extra-marital relationship are entirely fabricated and completely false," the family spokesperson said. And rep also said that Katie and Adrian are just friends. Cleary has never met Leo before the night at Gotha nightclub on May 19, when photos were taken. Her meeting with Leo "was fully for the purpose of potential collaboration for environmental and animal welfare issues."
It is also reported that Andrew Stern was facing financial issues too. Katie's rep and Andrew's friends revealed that he was suffering from depression over financial issues too. Whatever the cause of suicide, Andrew Stern is no more with us. Stern's public memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 28, in Venice, California.

NeW at the University of South Florida hosted a speaker event in which the chapter heard from Martha Lezama on living in communist Cuba on February 9, 2022.
The women invited Lezama, chapter vice president Alexia Bianchi’s grandmother, to speak about her experiences. Lezama shared stories about living in Cuba after it became communist and her journey to the United States. Her story was eye-opening for members in the room and was truly inspirational.
“My grandmother shared her story on coming to the United States from a communist country and how she was able to be extremely successful in America. I am proud to be her granddaughter,” Bianchi said after the event.

Top of the Rock, (on top of the Rockefeller center) was one of our favorite attractions! It's so high up, has the prettiest views, and you can see the Empire State Building perfectly from it! This is something we'll be going to every time we're in NYC from here on out!
Some other touristy things we did and LOVED were the Brooklyn Bridge, Dumbo, Central Park, 9/11 Memorial, Empire State Building, Jimmy Fallon, Soho, the Highline, Hudson river, flatiron building, the Met, Wicked on Broadway, Yankee Stadium, and 5th Ave! We recommend visiting these places if you're headed to the city!
We used City Pass to get discount attraction tickets and saved a couple hundred dollars! City Pass also got us through lines quickly on majority of the things we did! (Check out City Pass HERE!) We also found cheap broadway tickets on an app called Tickets Today, and cheap Yankees tickets as well on the Yankee Stadium app! We recommend these discount apps/tickets, they were AMAZING for us!
Aside from Top of the Rock and the shows during fashion week, our favorite thing to do in the city was EAT! We pigged out HARD and are missing the food in the city already! Our favorite places to grab grub were Mighty Quins Bbq, STK, Black Tap Burgers & Shakes, By Chloe, The Smith, Shake Shack, and Laduree for sweets/dessert! (We suggest not going to chains while you're in the city! There's so much good food to try!.. We didn't even get half way through our list of places to eat!)
For transportation we used Uber & the subway! Uber drivers are cheaper, nicer, and better drivers than Cabbies! (Taxi drivers.) The subway is 100% the way to travel though.. it's going to be the cheapest & quickest way to any destination! We used Google Maps to help us navigate through the city. Just hit "transit" or "subway" after you've entered in your destination!
We stayed at Arlo Hotel (Nomad location) and it was incredible! Reasonably priced for the area we were in, (it's on 5th avenue and two blocks away from the Empire State Building) our room was clean and new compared to all the other hotels we looked at, it had incredible views, and the nicest staff! Seriously, we made friends with half the staff there! Arlo has another hotel located in Soho that looks extremely similar and is priced a bit better if you're not wanting to stay in midtown!
Our photographer in NYC was non other than the incredible Ty French! Ty took our formals when we got married and we both LOVE his work! He shoots everything from commercial, to fashion, to weddings! He's also available for travel! We both love his style and recommend him as a photographer for ANYTHING! (Love you, Ty!)
Before we sign off, we just wanted to let you know you can see more of our trip & shop our outfits below! And if you're shopping the pink wrap top from Vici Collection, get it for 20% off with code BRIT20 at checkout! Hoping you all have the best day! xx

On September 28, 2022, the D.C. Policy Center’s presentation, Food Access in DC: A Focus on Retail Grocery Store Access, was cited by Fox 5:
The location at 2224 Town Center Drive SE is the first new grocery store in Ward 7 in over a decade. Local leaders hope the new store will address gaps in access to food for residents in neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River. 80 percent of D.C.’s food deserts were in Ward 7 and Ward 8 in 2017, according to D.C. Policy Center.

Rape suspect Michael Darren Matthews perched on the bench, fingers pressed together in front of his face, waiting for his turn before the judge.
The 39-year-old Matthews, a free-lance pilot from Florida, made his first appearance in Clayton County Magistrate Court on Wednesday. He faces charges of rape and sexual battery in connection with an incident in which Atlanta police say he forced himself on a 16-year-old girl in a stairwell at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Tuesday.
Matthews was a passenger on the same flight out of Florida as the girl, Atlanta police spokeswoman Sylvia Abernathy said, and both had layovers at Hartsfield-Jackson around 2 p.m. Tuesday. Abernathy said Matthews made contact with the girl, who was flying alone, on the airplane and then made additional contact with her when they got off the plane.
Somehow the two ended up in the stairwell on Concourse C where the rape allegedly occurred. Abernathy said she wasn't clear if the stairwell was in a restricted area.
"We do know that the suspect in this case had credentials on him that would have allowed him access to restricted areas," Abernathy said.
After the incident the victim may have contacted a third party, possibly an airport employee, who contacted the mini-precinct at the airport. The victim was taken to Hughes-Spalding Hospital for treatment.
Abernathy would not release the girl's destination.
Matthews was bound for Cleveland, Ohio after the layover. In court Matthews reluctantly said he worked for a company called Flight Options in Cleveland. Dennis Baker, a spokesman for Flight Options, said he could not confirm if Matthews worked for the company.
Chief Magistrate Judge Daphne Walker asked Matthews about his employer after he requested a court-appointed attorney. Walker asked Matthews if he didn't make more than $7,000 a month, to which Matthews answered that he made about $2,500 a month and had a house payment, a car note and two monthly credit card bills of about $200 each.
"You're a pilot and you make $2,500 a month," Walker asked.
Walker then granted Matthews' request for an attorney. She scheduled a preliminary hearing in his case for Aug. 9 and a bond hearing for Aug. 12.

Dry mouth, or xerostomia, is caused by an inadequate supply of saliva. Very common in older adults, dry mouth is usually due to medication side effects, but may have other causes.
Dry mouth is not a specific disorder, but actually a symptom of another issue. Besides an uncomfortable dryness in the mouth, those suffering from dry mouth may also experience:
For many, dry mouth is just annoying, and not a serious problem. But for some it can lead to other serious conditions. Saliva keeps the tissues in our mouths well lubricated, keeps out teeth clean, and helps digest food. Inadequate saliva can be uncomfortable, lead to problems eating and speaking, and contribute to tooth decay.
While aging itself is responsible for some dry mouth, most cases are due to the side effects of medications. There are literally hundreds of medications that list dry mouth as a side effect. Dr. Kruse can help determine the particular causes of your dry mouth, and help rule out rarer but more serious conditions.
If a medication is the cause, your physician may be able to prescribe an alternate medication. Many common sense approaches will also help, including taking frequent sips of water and stimulating saliva with sugar free gum or candy. Reducing your intake of caffeine, carbonated beverages and alcohol may also help.
Consult Dr. Kruse to rule out some serious conditions that reduce the flow of saliva. Once he has ruled out other causes, we will recommend some simple remedies. There are also some oral rinses and artificial saliva products available. He will recommend that you be especially vigilant about oral hygiene, since inadequate saliva can increase your chance of tooth decay.

This weeks films were INTERSTELLAR, which I'd expected to be borning. Actually, despite being terribly long, it wasn't bad, I was actually rather moved, at times.
THE HUMAN CENTEPEDE 3, was, of course, groteque to the max. Dieter Laser is quite fascinating. I don't think I've ever seen an actor depict such frightening perverted lunacy so effectively, apart from Klaus Kinski, who actually was nuts. Mr Laser is evidently quite a pleasant, refined person in RL.
I see there have been a lot of complaints about JEKYLL AND HYDE being too scary for pre-watershed kiddie consumption. Well, the Harbinger creature certainly creeped me out, but I've seen equally disturbing stuff on DOCTOR WHO, like the Weeping Angels. I still shudder to remember a giant spider with Mark Gatiss' face, charging down a corridor, a few years ago...
EASTENDERS gets madder by the moment.

I thought I'd post that very first entry today, as a belated anniversary celebration. I must tell you, I was TERRIFIED! I figured no one would care about my silly stories, and I felt so vulnerable sending them out into the blogosphere! I was so sure I'd get nothing but negative feedback, I initially disabled the comments option.
What I found, instead, was this lovely, encouraging blogging community that has been so wonderfully supportive through every step of the way! Thanks to ALL of you! I really, really appreciate it!
So much has changed in just one short year since I started this blog. A year ago, I had just moved to York, PA, and my Dad was relatively healthy, living a happy life of retirement with my Mom in Florida. Today, I live in Nashville, TN, and my Dad has passed away. I'm so grateful I was able to record some of the wonderful memories of Dad on this blog, for all eternity. Although he never read any of my stories, I'm certain he'd be proud of the words I've written here.
So, here it is, my first entry, from one year ago. Can't you just HEAR my knees knocking?...
So, I've decided to join the ranks of Those-Who-Think-They-Can-Write-And-Who-Also-Think-That-Others-May-Even-Want-To-Read-Their-Stuff! Thanks to my husband Alan's gentle urging and reassurance that my technologically-challenged brain can actually maneuver this baby, I officially throw my hat into the literary ring.
So, here's my story: I'm a 45 year old white female, raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. It was in school there that I received my first creative writing assignments and discovered that I really enjoyed completing them. In seventh grade, my english teacher read one of my fiction essays out loud to the class. I was both mortified and completely jazzed. My mom bought me a thesaurus for my birthday. I was going to be the next Ernest Hemingway.
Then I was cast as the lead in Nordonia High School's musical production of "Anything Goes." That was it. My thesaurus never stood a chance. I became a musical theater major at Syracuse University, graduated, and began my quest for the great Broadway Stage. What I didn't figure on was how miserable I'd be living in New York City. I hated it. I gave it a few good years, did a few decent shows and somehow ended-up moving to Orlando, Florida. I spent sixteen years there, thirteen of them doing the Terminator 2/3D show at Universal Studios. It was a fantastic, awesome gig, and I loved every minute of it.
But, my stud of a husband (you'll hear more about him in later entries) got promoted, which brings us here to our new current residence in York, PA. So, with the lights of the theater fading behind me now, I keep spotting that old worn thesaurus out of the corner of my eye. It beckons me to give my first love a try. I decided to listen.
The name of my blog is a nostalgic nod to something my grumpy, old, Irish dad used to say. He had a lot of sayings: "Hit the Bricks!" (Get Out of Here!), "Tough Tarantula!" (Sucks to Be You!), or "Not too shabby!" (You did good, kid. I am proud of you!). When he was fishing off the deck of his beloved boat, a can of Pepsi in hand on a sunny afternoon, he'd lean back in his chair and say, "I wonder what the poor people are doing today!" But my favorite Jack Donnelly quote growing up was the classic, "Anything Fits a Naked Man." Simple, but true, no? Hard to complain when you're in need!
It is with that quote in mind that I undertake this new adventure. I'm just going to test the creative writing waters once again, naked as I am! Hope you enjoy...

Firstly, you need to check the illumination level of the LED device or strip that you are planning on purchase. If you have a big living room, then you might need a better illumination without which you might have to purchase two bulbs to meet the requirements. Therefore, make sure whether the brightness is ample for your room or else get a couple of bulbs for your needs.
⏩ Colour Of The Light
The best WiFi LED lights are also capable of showcasing different color lights in a single hub. The colors usually preferred by the people are yellow, white, warm white, and soft white. People usually prefer colorful lights to set them according to their mood at the ease of using a smartphone.
Make sure that the WiFi LEDs are durable enough to last for a longer time to save your expenses of frequent changing of the bulbs over time. You need to check the standardization and the brand value to get an assurance of longevity of the WiFi LED lights before buying them.
The pricing is the final considerable factor that you must take consideration for as there are many top brands that are manufacturing some of the best quality WiFi LED lights. But you need to compare the features and all other aspects right before choosing the best one. The pricing might be slightly higher for feature-packed lights. Therefore, do not compromise on low-quality products just for the sake of saving some money.
Why Should You Buy Best WiFi LED Lights Strips For Bedroom Or Studio?
Lighting around the bedroom plays a major role in giving you a peaceful sleep at night or day time. People usually take up the WiFi LED lights for their living rooms while some really make use of them in their bedrooms. Dimming the light at the ease of using the mobile application gives you the ability to have ambient lighting in your room to relax your mind and soul to fall asleep immediately.
Some people do not like sleeping in the dark, and the Zero-power bulbs are not actually Zero that hampers sleep quality. Therefore, people tend to switch to the LED strip lights with remote or mobile application control to control the lights from the bed itself.
▶ Use Of WiFi LED Lights In The Music And Photo Studios
The use of WiFi LED lights in the music and photo studios is also highly demanding as these two professional sectors need ambiance lighting with motion detection to serve the users with better results. Some of the WiFi LED strips sync with the music to complement the recording sessions at the music studios. Similarly, in the photo studios, the lighting plays a major role in clicking the best pictures. Therefore, if the studio owners are looking for low-light or dim-light photography with variations, then the WiFi LED lighting can be of best use for them.
So, if you are willing to get the best night’s rest, then buy the best WiFi LED light for your bedroom. And if you want to embed it to your workplace or studio, then choose multiple LED strips to complement the requirement.

The Langlade County Sheriff’s Office is the latest Northwoods law enforcement agency joining the Wisconsin Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Attorney General JB Van Hollen made that announcement yesterday. Van Hollen said he was pleased to see another group joining noting, “In 2007, we had slightly more than 20 local law enforcement agency affiliates. We’re now close to 200.
That lead to the arrests of more than 130 suspects last year.
Sheriff William Greening said of his department joining, “This is a very valuable investigative tool in fighting crimes against children. Being a part of this affiliation will give our office an excellent opportunity to investigate dangerous offenders in our area,”
By joining the Langlade County Sheriff’s Office will receive reimbursement for related expenses, training priority, investigative assistance and website recognition. They’ll join Lincoln, Oneida, Vilas, Taylor and Marathon Counties who were already members.
To help combat Internet crimes against children, Van Hollen has directed a 67% increase in the number of special agents assigned to the Task Force within the Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI).

You wouldn’t have thought gardening gloves, floppy hats and clogs with distinct Homebase vibes would be high-fashion, but for SS20, they are. Fendi gave us a horticultural spectacle of a show with bee-keeping hats, foliage motifs and enough khaki to keep even the most green-fingered happy. Louis Vuitton had a similar vibe with painterly florals decorated on fabrics and dried flowers cascading out of bags. Even Celine – not usually one for the soft look – threw a wicker bag into the mix. The message? For spring this year, take your cues from Gardeners' World.
The Hawaiian shirt has been menswear (and Love Island’s) obsession of recent years, but this spring, take it up a notch. The bowling shirt – a ‘50s style shirt with a relaxed collar that sits flat against you, often in a silk – was seen on many a catwalk from Marni to Edward Crutchley. The silkier, the bolder the print, the more old-school bowling alley, the better. This ties into the co-ord (matching top and bottoms) which continues as a key trend. For inspiration, see MSGM and Dior’s matchy-matchy shirts and shorts combos.
Silky, soft fabrics were a mainstay of this season’s catwalks. Satin featured heavily, sheer was noteworthy and floaty, boxer short-type shorts were seen for casual looks. Luxe, old-school and louche, silky shorts may sound weird but they, surprisingly, looked great.

Vulcan To Fly Over
The world's last flying Vulcan bomber will make a farewell tour of the country this weekend. It should be visible from Chelford.
The distinctive delta-winged jet, an icon of the Cold War, will spend hours flying around the country on Saturday and Sunday before it is finally grounded forever later this month.
The Avro Vulcan XH558, manufactured at Woodford Aerodrome near Stockport in the 1960s, has been touring UK airshows and displays after a long restoration project, but this year will mark its final flights.

Electronic absorption spectra of imidazolium-based ionic liquids studied by far-ultraviolet spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations†
Electronic absorption spectra of imidazolium-based ionic liquids were studied by far- and deep-ultraviolet spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The absorption spectra in the 145–300 nm region of imidazolium-based ionic liquids, [Cnmim]+[BF4]− (n = 2, 4, 8) and [C4mim]+[PF6]−, were recorded using our original attenuated total reflectance (ATR) system spectrometer. The obtained spectra had two definitive peaks at ∼160 and ∼210 nm. Depending on the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl side chain, the peak wavelength around 160 nm changed, while that around 210 nm remained at almost the same wavelength. Quantum chemical calculation results based on the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) also showed the corresponding peak shifts. In contrast, there was almost no significant difference between [C4mim]+[BF4]− and [C4mim]+[PF6]−, which corresponded with our calculations. Therefore, it can be concluded that the absorption spectra in the 145–300 nm region are mainly determined by the cations when fluorine-containing anions are adopted. In addition, upon addition of organic solvent (acetonitrile) to [C4mim]+[BF4]−, small peak shifts to the longer wavelength were revealed for both peaks at ∼160 and ∼210 nm. The peak shift in the deep-ultraviolet region (≤200 nm) in the presence of the solvent, which indicates the change of electronic states of the ionic liquid, was experimentally observed for the first time by using the ATR spectrometer.


When summer or winter comes, many people think the air humidity is so big that a humidifier, which is normally used in winter, is not needed at all. However, we really don’t need humidifiers in summer and winter? In a real situation, you can find that it is cool to stay in an air-conditioned room, while the atmosphere is very dry. So in an air-conditioned room, it will make people feel more comfortable when an air humidifier is in use.
When an air conditioner is used for a long time, the water in the air will accumulate into drops that will be discharged out of the room, which makes the indoor atmosphere dry. Normally, the air humidity is relatively big, but long time use of air conditioners can make indoor air humidity small and accelerate the race of body water evaporation. When the weather is hot, people’s pores are open. The air conditioner and fan blast directly to human bodies, which can easily cause a cold fever, and backaches.
Therefore, when using an air conditioner, people can use a suitable home humidifier ( Magictec 2.5L Bedroom Humidifier) to improve indoor humidity, which can alleviate the problems of excessive skin water loss and dry throat that are caused by the dry indoor atmosphere. At the same time, a humidifier can purify the indoor environment, reduce indoor dust, and have a good effect on maintaining the humidity and cleanliness inside of noses.

- 1.5 Liter Easy-Fill Water Tank
- Automatic Shut-Off

- Quick Cleaning & Maintenance

So, how can we use the humidifier correctly?
Many families close their windows when the air conditioner is in use, which causes a dry indoor atmosphere. If a humidifier is not used correctly, the microorganism floating in the air will multiply rapidly under suitable temperature and humidity. Do not add things (except water) into a humidifier and do not turn it on and off frequently. When the air is too humid, the body cells will be “lazy”. Kids will be listless and depressed. So it is recommended that turn it off for a period of time every two hours and keep good indoor ventilation. It also matters how to position the humidifier. It is better to position it on a stable surface about one meter high and it should be as far as possible away from heat, corrosion, or something like that.
In order to ensure air cleanliness, the water inside of a humidifier must be replaced every day. When cleaning the humidifier, do not forget to clean the mist outlet as well as the water sink and tank. Warm and comfortable indoor temperatures can easily make legionella bacteria and fungi in water multiply in large quantities. If the water is not replaced in time, bacteria will get into the respiratory tract along with the mist, which may cause some diseases.
As you can see, the humidifier is really useful all year round and there are many specific features in its usage.

Christian Siriano Confirms He Will Likely Dress Leslie Jones' For 'Ghostbusters' Premiere
Leslie Jones, the Saturday Night Live cast member who is one of the four comedians starring in the all-female remake for Ghostbusters, needs a dress to wear to the premiere. And much like other actresses who aren't sample-sized, from her co-star Melissa McCarthy to Rebel Wilson and Octavia Spencer, that's a problem.
Many designers aren't exactly jumping with joy over the idea of dressing a woman who's above a, say, size four. As McCarthy told Redbook in 2014, "Two Oscars ago, I couldn't find anybody to do a dress for me. I asked five or six designers — very high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people — and they all said no."
Now, Jones is facing that exact issue, but rather than stay quiet, she went on social media.
Jones tweeted Tuesday to her more than 91,000 followers: "It's so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for movie. Hmmm that will change and I remember everything."
Then, 30 minutes later, a designer swooped in to save the day.
Christian Siriano, the winner of season four of Project Runway who has designed gowns for curvy celebrities like Christina Hendricks and Danielle Brooks, responded to Jones' tweet with a raised hand and a wave.
In response, Jones gave him an approving "YAAAAAASSSSSS."
Entertainment Weekly and USA Today reported on the exchange, writing that a collaboration with the two looked to be on the horizon. And in an exclusive interview with Mic, Siriano revealed that yes, he will likely be designing a dress for Jones at the upcoming Ghostbusters premiere.
"I love Leslie and I'm a huge fan of her work," Siriano said. "I can't wait to create something special for her to wear. Hopefully, I will see her in my studio this week to make something new and exciting for her to wear. I support all women no matter age or size!"
Of all the designers who could volunteer to create a gown for Jones, Siriano is perhaps one of the most qualified, given he does have his own line at the plus-size retailer Lane Bryant and has even designed a plus-size wedding gown.
"It shouldn't be exceptional to work with brilliant people just because they're not sample size," Siriano tweeted on Wednesday morning. "Congrats aren't in order, a change is."
Now that the dress is likely taken care of, all we have to do is wait for the big day (which should be sometime soon since Ghostbusters premieres July 15), and see what sort of masterpiece Siriano comes up with.
Judging by the looks he's created for Hendricks...
Jones is in excellent hands.
