From Andrew Davis | Part of the Claim Your Fame series | 07:39

Turn on the television at any hour, and you're bound to find a reality television show on. Many of these shows feature businesses - there are shows about guys who restore cars, shows about people who run antique stores and pawn shops. We started to wonder what happens when a reality television show features your business so we sought out the Queen of Bling - Sondra Celli.

Sondra's been designing women's wear for years, but a few years ago she became a regular guest on a TLC reality television series called My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding.

Diane Toomey went to visit Sondra's studio to learn how the TLC show has affected her business.
