This Sherri Hill gown is just one stunning example of how beautiful blush can be! A pale pink hue, blush has taken this year’s Spring fashions by storm! From the red carpet in Hollywood, to the streets of your hometown, blush-colored fabrics are so “in”.

The new pale pink trend is for teens on prom night and even daring brides on their wedding night! Blush-colored gowns are appropriate for most skin tones, including the fairest of the fair.

Stars that have graced the red carpet in blush include Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood and Cameron Diaz!

Seventeen Prom helps to narrow your search for the perfect prom gown, providing guidelines based on your body shape.

Extra Tall beauties are best suited in ruched styles (left). The gathered material hugs the body, accentuating those legs! Long legs are also well-showcased in gowns with high-low hemlines (right). The short front to show ‘em off and the long length in the back to balance.

For Petites, Seventeen recommends a mermaid style gown (left); also known as a trumpet skirt. I must say, I have to disagree with this one. Short gals will likely be cutting off a good chunk of that mermaid-style skirt. What a waste of money!

Another option,  is the oh-so-popular bubble skirt (right). Typically found on a short gown, this style is perfect for petites! A short gown in general is usually a good pick for the vertically challenged (elongates those legs!) as long as the gown hits at least three inches above the knee. Anything longer just looks matronly.

Curvy Girls can bring attention to the bust and shoulders with a one-shoulder gown (left). One shoulder strapped and the other bare, draws the eye up and is simultaneously slimming!

Also keep a look out fora-line styles, particularly the empire waistline (right). A tight fitting bodice that flares just under the bust line helps to camouflage all those curves you don’t want recognized while accentuating those you do!

Pear-shaped like the majority of women in the United States? The new trend, grecian styles, work well for us! Jeweled necklines that are typically thick and form a choker around the neck are the hottest trend for both casual and formal wear. Lucky us!

Tiered skirts with layers of fabric are also a plus. Maybe it’s the optical illusion created by so much fabric, but this style is a hip minimizer and bust maximizer…turning your pear-shaped body into the coveted coke bottle instantaneously.

They’re here, at cbslimited.com! Sherri Hill has introduced a daring leopard fabric that is turning heads.

Yet another sex tape involving a sexy starlet (well, in this case…a wannabe starlet) has surfaced. Carrie Prejean, the former Miss California, infamous for her opposition to gay marriage, has released a statement saying the recently divulged tape was “the biggest mistake of her life.”

Carrie said she was just a teenager when she sent an intimate video of herself to an ex-boyfriend. The tape surfaced when the dethroned queen pursued a settlement with the Miss USA organization for a whopping amount totaling more than $1,000,000. The pageant’s lawyers showed Prejean the x-rated tape of her and…herself. Prejean quickly dropped the whole thing. She walked away with nothing.

Why don’t we ever hear about sex tapes from less attractive people? Like Tom Arnold or Rosie O’Donnell? Are the pretty people the only naive ones to think that no one else will ever see their home videos?

Ellen is hooking up a staff member!  Louise Wu is an assistant on the The Ellen Degeneres Show and is also going to compete in the Miss California USA pageant coming up at the end of November.  Louise will be wearing a Tony Bowls dress and YOU get to pick with one she will wear for the evening dress portion of the event.  You can see her in all three dresses and vote for which one you think she should wear over at Ellen’s site or you can just click here!

The highly-publicized and biblically-correct Miss California, Carrie Prejean is officially out! But not because of her religious beliefs say top Miss USA Pageant officials, including the Trumpster himself.

In a press release, unveiled just yesterday, Miss USA California officials claim Prejean failed to attend over 30 events scheduled by the organization.

“…after our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship…”

“…it has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.”

The Miss USA Organization maintains that the firing of Prejean is strictly based on Carrie breaching her contract. It’s not based on her political and moral views. Her replacement is Miss Malibu Tami Farrell.

TLC’s newest reality series takes a behind-the-scenes look at child beauty competitions. The show comes on the heels of a documentary by TLC on that very subject. Viewers were so fascinated by the show that TLC decided to spin it off into a new reality show with the same name.

“Toddlers and Tiaras” will follow a number of contestants of different ages, including kids under 5, through the pageant scene. The show’s producers say, “The series showcases the traditional elements of child pageants, jam-packed with stage moms and dads, hair extensions, spray tanning, makeup, and glitter. It features extremely non-traditional and modern aspects of the pageant scene, from girls entering the competitive landscape with less makeup and a more natural look, to pageants with boys mixed into the competition.”

The most recent installment of Toddlers and Tiaras featured a gown by Tiffany Designs. The gorgeous lime/turq/black combination can be found on our website, click here.

The TLC website describes the new show:

On any given weekend, on stages across the country, little girls and boys parade around wearing makeup, false eyelashes, spray tans and fake hair to be judged on their beauty, personality and costumes. Toddlers and Tiaras follows families on their quest for sparkly crowns, big titles, and lots of cash.

The preparation is intense as it gets down to the final week before the pageant. From hair and nail appointments, to finishing touches on gowns and suits, to numerous coaching sessions or rehearsals, each child preps for their performance. But once at the pageant, it’s all up to the judges and drama ensues when every parent wants to prove that their child is beautiful.

Some call it exploitation, a mother living out her own dreams through a toddler too young to disagree. Or perhaps it is fun, just like recreational soccer leagues or cheer camp. Agree with it or not, Pageantry is a $5 billion a year biz and can actually bring contestants excellent benefits, like scholarship money, new cars and family vacations. You can catch Toddlers and Tiaras Tuesday nights at 10:00 on TLC.

Tiffany has released their fall 2008 girls pageant dresses! There are eight new styles that are sure to please most parents and judges alike.
