The Great Dress Debate of 2015 appears to have been settled.
It all started last week when a Tumblr used share the picture of a
dress that he said had prompted a major disagreement between him and his
friends.
Some saw it as white and gold. Others had no doubt the dress was blue and black.
The Internet proceeded to explode over the topic, with celebrities choosing sides and relationships being placed in danger depending on which team husband and wife found themselves on.
But Laura Coleman is here to set the record straight.
See, the dress actually exists and it was designed by
Roman Originals. On that company’s website, the frock is offered in Blue
and Black, White and Black, Red and Black and Pink and Black.
Gold is nary to be found as an option!
“Okay so I was the first to wear this dress and just to confirm it’s
definitely black and blue! #thedress,” Coleman wrote on Instagram in
response to the controversy, including with it multiple photos of
herself in the gown.
But does the dress above look the same to you as the dress below?
Is your head starting to spin faster than the llama who were on the loose in Arizona yesterday from all this back and forth?
Take a very close look at the image that started it all and then click
around to view the major celebrity divide on this pressing issue:

3 Sisters Who Survived UNIJOS Bomb Blast Narrate Their Survival Story - See Pictures
During the week – Thursday – a twin bomb rocked Jos, the Plateau State
capital, killing about 12 students of the University of Jos (UNIJOS).
Amina, Hauwa and Aishat Mudi (three sisters) who survived the blast have narrated their experience to PUNCH newspaper.
Amina Sani Mudi, a 19-year-old 100-level student of Medicine at the University of Jos said, “I had just finished my Chemistry paper, which I had from 3pm to 6pm and it was raining. As I walked to the gate of the university, I called my sisters who were at the School of Forestry to buy one of the JME recommended books. I walked down and joined them as they were already waiting for me in front of Bauchi Park. We stood and were waiting for a tricycle to take us home.
“As we stood waiting for a tricycle the next thing we heard was a loud explosion. Initially, I thought it was thunder because it was still drizzling. But somebody shouted, ‘bomb, bomb,’ and we ran to a nearby pharmacy for safety. I saw a girl whose hands were mutilated and she was calling her father. We saw pieces of human flesh all around the place. The thought on my mind was just to run for safety. If you say you are a true Muslim, no religion, even Christianity, preaches that anybody should kill another. I want to appeal to the terrorists to stop because God does not sanction killing.”
Hauwa Sani Mudi, 21, the eldest of the sisters said “I thought that it was an explosion from a transformer until we heard somebody shouting, ‘bomb, bomb.’ I ran with my sisters to a nearby pharmacy because we were told that the soldiers could start shooting and we tried to contact our father. We did not even know that we were wounded.”
While the youngest of the sisters, Aisha, said , ‘’I am thankful to God for sparing our lives. He is a good God.’’
The explosions occurred between 4pm and 6pm around the university’s main campus.
The first explosion happened at the popular Bauchi
Motor Park while the second occurred near a military checkpoint reported
to be just about 100 meters away.

Stolen Baby Found After 17 years In S.Africa
According to Vanguard, A baby stolen from her sleeping
mother’s arms shortly after birth has been found by the family through an
astonishing coincidence 17 years later, South African police said Friday.
A 50-year-old woman has been
arrested and charged with kidnapping after pupils noticed a remarkable likeness
between the 17-year-old and her younger biological sister who started attending
the same school this year.
DNA tests have confirmed that the
older girl is the daughter of Celeste and Morne Nurse, who was snatched from
Groote Schuur hospital as a three-day-old baby named Zephany in April 1997,
local media reported.
The parents, who later had three
more children, have celebrated Zephany’s birthday every year since she was
kidnapped, never giving up hope that their first-born child would come back to
them someday, the Cape Argus said.
Zephany grew up with a different
name, and a different family, never knowing she was not their real daughter.
But last month her biological
sister, Cassidy Nurse, started high school at the same school as Zephany, and
fellow pupils noticed a startling resemblance she bore to a final-year student.
When Cassidy told her parents about
the girl, they invited her home for a cup of coffee. When they saw the striking
resemblance between the girls, they contacted the police.
Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel
André Traut confirmed that a woman had been arrested. She and her husband, who
is also in his fifties, have no other children.
“The suspect is being charged with
kidnapping, fraud and contravening sections… of the Children’s Act, in that she
fraudulently pretended that she was the biological mother of a child,” Traut
said.
“The kidnapped girl has since been
placed in the care of the Department of Social Services of the Western Cape
Government.”
Without knowing it, the Nurse family
had been living within a couple of kilometres of their kidnapped daughter.
OMG!!!! NYSC member commits suicide over girlfriend
The body of a 26-year-old National
Youth Service Corp, NYSC, member, identified as Ernest, was, Wednesday,
recovered from his one room apartment after he reportedly took a poisonous
substance.
Reports indicated that the young
man, who was in love with a fellow NYSC member, Chioma Okewuru, went berserk
when the girl came back from her village over the weekend with a ring from a
man she had promised to marry.
Ernest, who is from Edo State and a
graduate of the University of Benin, was posted to Cross River State in
October, where he met and fell in love with Chioma, and both were serving in
Redemption Secondary School, Ofombogha 1 in Obubra Local Government Area of
Cross Rivers State.
Mr. Noah Ntuen, Acting Divisional
Police Officer for Obubra told Vanguard on phone: “The girl had told the guy
that she would not marry him, but that they could be friends. So when she came
back from home last weekend and showed him the ring her husband-to-be gave her,
the young man became furious.
“On Wednesday, the situation became
worse and at about 7pm, he locked himself in the room and took some poisonous
substances.”
A source in the school told
Vanguard: “They met at the NYSC Orientation Camp at Abrekpe-Ebokpo and as luck
would have it, they were both posted to the same school where they had a
relationship going.
“He had the
hope the whole thing would end in marriage, but Chioma already had another
person she wants to marry.”
Ntuen said
the body had been deposited in the mortuary of Obubra General Hospital, while
Chioma is with the police, where investigations on the circumstances
surrounding the tragic death are in progress.
Men's Corner: Study Reveals 'Most Dangerous' Sex Position (Must Read)
When it comes to sex-related injuries among men, penile fractures are rare yet painful; now researchers say they know which positions are likeliest to result in them. Researchers reviewed records from three hospitals over a 13-year period in Campinas, Brazil, a city of roughly 3 million people. In a paper published in Advances in Urology in April but now attracting plenty of attention, they write that the "cowgirl"—when the woman is on top of the man—was responsible for half the penile fractures reported among the cases involving heterosexual sex. The second-worst offender was doggy style, responsible for 29%, while the traditional missionary position had been assumed in 21% of the fractures, reports the Telegraph. Still, penis fractures are rare—so much so that there isn't really a known statistic for the injury, reports Cosmopolitan. Over 13 years of hospital records in Campinas, only a total of 42 men had "the condition confirmed after clinical, radiological, and surgical evaluation," the researchers report. As a side note: 28 of those 42 fractures occurred during heterosexual sex, 4 during homosexual sex, 6 due to "penile manipulation," and 4 in "unclear" circumstances. Researchers surmise that when the woman is on top, "she usually controls the movement with her entire body weight landing on the erect penis, not being able to interrupt it when the penis suffers a wrong way penetration." (This man's decision to have sex in a desert ended up costing him big-time.)
Pregnant Kate Middleton Rushed to the Hospital!
Still seven weeks shy of her second baby’s due date, Kate Middleton was
rushed to St. Mary’s Hospital, writhing in pain, in mid-February.
According to a royal source, it was just early contractions that had the Duchess alarmed, but she was “frantic” and “doubled over in agony,” fearing for her unborn baby.
And despite a media blackout, (“No one was allowed to talk to the press in any capacity,” the source reports), Star has the inside details of the Duchess’ frightening pregnancy scare.
“At first, doctors thought she was in labor, but her contractions weren’t regular enough to warrant them preparing for birth,” the insider explains, adding that, while doctors couldn’t establish exactly what was wrong, they deemed it necessary to keep Kate in the hospital overnight for observation.
Less than 24 hours later, the duchess’ and her baby’s vitals had stabilized, and doctors gave her the all clear. Still, the incident put Kate on high-alert, and the royals have put St. Mary’s on standby in case of a premature delivery. “This scare made her realize she doesn’t want to take any changes,” the source reveals. “Everyone is on high alert for an early arrival.”

The 65-year-old Olympic gold medalist has told loved ones that he ‘can’t imagine himself being attracted to men.’
According to
Star Magazine. ‘
He’s not sure if the hormone treatments will change how
he feels about men.But right now he says that he still likes women
.He’s always loved the ladies. He longs to be feminine and pretty – and
also to feel the touch of another woman.’
As Polly Kahl, a licensed counselor who specializes in transgender patients tells Star,
sexual orientation and gender identity are separate issues. “If Bruce
remains attracted to women after gender reassignment, she may consider
herself gay and continue to date women,” Kahl explains.
Kahl says intense hormonal therapy could bring on an attraction to men, but the insider doesn’t see that happening with Bruce.
White and Gold Dress (Or is it Blue and Black Dress?) What Colour is This
The Internet lost its collective mind over two unexpected topics yesterday.
Tumblr user "Swiked" uploaded the following image of the following dress and wrote as a caption:
“Is this dress white and gold or blue and black? Me and my friends can’t agree and we are freaking the f-ck out.”
And for the rest of the evening, nearly everyone on social media proceeded to freak the f-ck out right along with him.
Why did wives and husbands spend half their night arguing over the color of this dress? How can folks disagree over such a seemingly basic question?
According to Cedar Riener, associate professor of psychology at Randolph-Macon College, it’s likely due to how one’s brain interprets the light coming into one’s eyes.
"We are always making decisions about the quantity of light that comes into our retina,” Riener tells Buzzfeed, explaining:
“In the case of the dress, some people are deciding that there is a fair amount of illumination on a blue and black (or less reflective) dress. Other people are deciding that it is less illumination on a white/gold dress (it is in shadow, but more reflective).”
Each individual brings a different set of experiences and expectations to his or her sight, as well as attention levels and particular eye movements.
Talk to a cognitive neuroscientist and he or she will say that what you looked at prior to glimpsing the dress could play a role in what color you believe it is.
Stars such as Taylor Swift have even got in on this debate.
"I don't understand this odd dress debate and I feel like it's a trick somehow," she Tweeted on Thursday. "I'm confused and scared. PS it's OBVIOUSLY BLUE AND BLACK."
For the record: Mindy Kaling thinks it’s also blue and black, while B.J. Novak and Julianne Moore are on Team White and Gold.
Try not to file for divorce or disown your children if you enter into the fray.
Weird, right? But enough science. Let's settle this once and for all: WHAT COLOR IS THIS DRESS?
Happiness note: It's clearly blue and gold. Come on!

Kylie Jenner on Instagram: Look at My Hot Leg
Kylie Jenner has taken to Instagram to show off yet another body part.
The reality star, Kylie wearing a partially open dress that reveals her entire left leg, along with a small glimpse once again at her undergarment.
Jenner simply wrote "earlier todayy" as a caption to the image.
When not striking semi-lewd poses on social media, Kylie Jenner has been trying to ignore rumors that she's dating a much older man in Tyga.
But there may no longer be a reason for Kylie to fight against this chatter.
Tyga, who is 25 years old, has already basically admitted dating Kylie, who is 17 years old.
