Nairaland GeneralRe: Which Colour Can You See On This Dress? by abbychi: 2:56am On Feb 28, 2015
Got this from yahoo.com:



Swiked, Canach

Two women are behind the viral dress that has everyone confused. Here’s what they told us.

The picture was initially posted on Tumblr by a 21-year-old singer named Caitlin McNeill who lives on the tiny Scottish island of Colonsay.

In a telephone conversation with Business Insider on Thursday evening, McNeill explained that the picture was a dress was worn to her friends’ wedding. In the photo, some people see the dress as white and gold while others see it as blue and black.

The dress was worn by the bride’s mother. McNeill and her friends first realized there was something different about the dress when the mother sent her daughter the now-famous photo.

“What happened was two of my close friends were actually getting married and the mother of the bride took a photo of the dress to send to her daughter,” McNeill explained. “When my friend showed the dress to her fiancee, they disagreed on the color.”

The bride then posted the picture on Facebook and her friends continued to debate the color of the dress.

“All of our friends disagreed,” McNeill said.

After seeing the Facebook thread, McNeill decided to share the picture on a fan page she has on Tumblr dedicated to a woman named Sarah Weichel. That’s where the dress went viral.

Weichel is a talent manager who represents several YouTubers including Hannah Hart.

Weichel told Business Insider her phone began blowing up on Thursday after McNeill’s post started going viral.

“The crazy thing is, I actually have nothing to do with the post. It’s literally just a fan account of me, so my name and my photos are all over the account,” Weichel said. “I actually don’t have anything to do with it. … But I have been getting a ton of phone calls and emails tonight.”
The situation was even weirder for Weichel because her client, Hart, was just announced as the star of a new television series on Thursday.
“Between that announcement and the dress thing my phone has been going crazy with congratulations and ‘What the hell is happening?’” Weichel said.
Weichel put Business Insider in touch with McNeill who said one of the oddest parts of the experience has been watching celebrities share her picture.
“I thought my followers on Tumblr would maybe have a good reaction, but I never would have considered that Taylor Swift and Mindy Kaling would be tweeting about it,” McNeill said.
Out of all the celebrities who became interested in her post, McNeill would like to meet Swift.
“Oh my god,” she said when we asked about Swift. “That would be something.”
McNeill plays guitar and sings in a band named Canach that plays what she described as “traditional Scottish folky music.” Her band played at the wedding. She actually saw the dress and told us definitively what color it really is.
“I got to the wedding and the mother was wearing the dress,” McNeill said. “Obviously it was blue and black.”

homesteady:
1)White and gold
2)Blue and black!


I saw blue and black!
I actually watch it on CNN today where a model wore the dress and stood beside the photo. It was actually Black and Blue. That being said, there may be 2 types or the lighting in the picture is weird.

Mafamafa:
My advise is this, pray about it. I came to the U.S on a B1 visa and went straight to school. It's not a bed of rose but trust me, with determination, hard work and positive mindset, you will survive it. You can look into some of this professional short programs, IIBA,PMP and stuff, get certified and you will get a company to sponsor your work auth, it's ain't easy but it's possible. If you know what you doing, you can make six figures, and mark my word 6figures. Not unless you have something reliable to live on in Africa. Lastly, have enough money with you and cover your grounds very well. Ask your In-law if they can accommodate you for about 6months. Make your enquiries and talk to the right people, and not those who don't know what they doing in Canada. Good luck
I totally agree. First things first - Pray about it and seek God's face.

Ontario esp Toronto is very expensive and Vancouver is even more.

Saskachewan makes sense but otherwise, focus on more rural areas and not big cities (e.g Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary) because the bigger the cities the more the cost of living and even tuition. in smaller and rural areas, tution are lower and you will get higher paying jobs even with no canadian experience. Alberta is also another option - remember rural areas (i.e smaller cities and towns) within alberta. Ask your sister in Canada to help you with these.

Also, if you guys are migrating as a student then you may not be covered for healthcare when you have your baby. So keep that in mind cos of the cost.

Chiamaka01: Ramsey? I don't really think he's as handsome as Eric. Van vicker would be better, in my humble opinion. I really hope it gets made into a movie, sha.
I prefer Van Vicker/Mercy Johnson as Oleng has to act her part really well to make it real to the audience.

Thanks Audrey Timms for this interesting story. God bless you.

TravelFiling For PR For Spouse To Travel To Canada by abbychi(op): 8:25pm On Nov 22, 2013
Hello,
I was wondering if you could please help me shed some light.
I am a student in the US and I am a Canadian citizen. I am would like to file the PR papers for my husband who is currently in Nigeria. I dont know what options we have as I came to US a few years ago and have not filed my taxes for about 2 years now. I intend to go back to Canada upon graduation but I would like my husband to have his papers as soon as possible. Will this be possible? What are our chances?
How long does this process take?
Thank you so much.
