Is this the hottest little girls pageant dress in the country?! According to Tiffany, it is! We noticed traffic pick up on style 3407 starting mid-January when a bunch of southern pageants were announced. And it has certainly lived up to expectations. Expect to see more unique layered colors like Key West (pictured), South Beach, and Miami one showing up nationwide. We have also heard that Tiffany has increased production on the girls line due to higher demand. So be sure to check back on the site for new dresses which should be added over the summer.

Beauty pageants have been apart of American culture for nearly a century. The tradition began as a publicity stunt concocted by a hotel owner in Atlantic City. To entice visitors to vacation after the Labor Day holiday, the hotelmen hosted a fall festival, with beautiful women competing for the title of “Most Beautiful Bathing Beauty in America.” Over the years, the pageant blossomed into what we now know as the Miss America pageant. The pageant has spawned similar events like Miss United States, Miss World, Miss Universe, etc.

The CW premiered it’s new hit show, “Crowned: Mother of all Pageants” in mid-December. For eight weeks, mother-daughter teams will compete in a series of challenges that will test their wit, charm and stamina. The challenge winners get cash and ultimately the daughters contend for the Crowned title and gasp…a tiara! The latest episode featured the teams browsing Jovani gowns and Alisha Hill shoes (both designers have collections you too can browse through on our website, www.cbslimited.com!).

Previous episodes have involved the contestants in the creation of their very own team name, the selection of swimsuit attire and the performance of fitness routines. Things are also heating up in the house shared by all eleven teams. Personalities clash and tempers flare as these beauty queen hopefuls vie for the opportunity to be Crowned.

A long way from the bathing beauties on the Atlantic City Beach, pageants have evolved into a multi-million dollar business for organizers and vendors alike. You can catch all new episodes of Crowned on the CW on Wednesday nights. You can also catch all new gowns from the top designers on our website, anytime!

If you haven’t heard by now, the current Miss New Jersey, Amy Polumbo, is currently suffering from what we like to call “picture remorse.” This is kind of like “buyers remorse,” only once your pictures hit the internet, you can’t take them back for a refund! Well, the bad publicity for Miss Polumbo has turned into positive publicity for Faviana. Miss New Jersey won her crown donning Faviana’s 5958 dress, and the company is now receiving calls daily asking about the style. Navid Moradi (the owner), in an interview with the New York Post said:

“We’re being swamped with calls from all our stores wanting to reorder it. It’s fantastic,” Faviana co-president Navid Moradi told us. “What’s funny is we didn’t even know Amy had worn our dress, but I was watching the ‘Today’ show when I saw footage of Amy’s win and said, ‘Oh my God, that’s our style No. 5958.’ We feel sorry for Amy, but we’re ecstatic, too.”

Amy released these pictures to NBC and The Today Show because someone was using them to blackmail her into giving up her crown. Did anyone investigate the runner-up?

Although the photos are slightly racy, it really isn’t that big of a deal. Britney is going crazy while taking care of two kids, Li-Lo is in rehab, and the public gets mad at this girl for taking pictures with her clothes ON. Why is this even a story? Amy will be keeping her crown, and serving out the rest of her term as Jersey’s top lady.
