Prince William and Catherine go see ‘Bridesmaids’

七月 19th, 2011 ok

Prince William and his new wife Catherine said that when they returned to the U.K. from their tour of Canada and visit to California that they wanted to live a life “under the radar” at their Welsh home.

So, what better way to lead the life of normal newlyweds than to go on a movie date?

On Saturday, the couple headed from Anglesey, where William is based as an Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter pilot, to the nearest multiplex at Llandudno Junction, about 40 miles away, to see the American comedy “Bridesmaids.”

Other moviegoers were soon excitedly Tweeting about the sighting. “My friend from Uni has just seen Prince William and Kate Middleton in my local cinema,” a Twitter user wrote Saturday.

Cineworld confirmed the outing in a Tweet Monday, posting, “Prince William & Kate Middy saw “Bridesmaids” at Cineworld Llandudno this W’end. Wonder what they made of Kristen Wiigs ‘one eyed’ impression?”

The royal couple are avid film lovers, and loved meeting some top movie stars like Nicole Kidman, Barbra Streisand and Tom Hanks while in Los Angeles at a BAFTA celebration. A palace source tells PEOPLE that Kate was “as thrilled as anyone else would be to meet people who she has seen on the screen.”

William and Kate are expected to spend most of the rest of the summer in North Wales, with William working and Kate considering what patronages and causes to adopt in her new public role. They are also expected to travel to Scotland to visit Queen Elizabeth’s estate, Balmoral.

“They have the rest of their lives to be public figures and working hard on behalf of the Queen and want to keep things on a level and enjoy their marriage,” palace spokesman said last week.

Crazy New Wedding Trends

七月 19th, 2011 ok

Extreme theme weddings — excess is the new rite of passage for the bride-to-be. Here, the 6 craziest wedding trends.

Bridal Diapers

Perhaps the most startling new trend of all, bridal diapers alleviate the need for a bride to awkwardly maneuver around yards of fabric and crinoline in order to relieve herself on her special day. Hey, moisture-wicking technology has come a long way in the last few years.

Retail Weddings

For couples short on cash, but all about the sack of 10, retail weddings are a growing trend. Staging nuptials in places like Taco Bell, TJ Maxx, and White Castle could save each couple a few hundred bucks. Apparently love is far from priceless.

Requiring Bridesmaids to Get Plastic Surgery

From Botox to breast implants, an increasing number of brides are insisting that bridal attendants undergo cosmetic procedures in order to look perfect for the wedding. Suddenly a teal and canary taffeta bridesmaid’s dress doesn’t sound half bad.

Doggy Wedding Attendants

K9 ring bearers are a fad we’d like to see run its course. It doesn’t matter how cute the dog is, he doesn’t belong in the wedding party.

Themed Weddings

Is this a growing trend or is it just the fact that we’re exposed to them more often on Facebook these days? Common interest and shared hobbies may have brought the bride and groom together, but a wedding isn’t the ideal place to pay tribute to a mutual love for extreme sports, Disney characters, Vulcans, or The Lord of the Rings.

Group Weddings

Group weddings are becoming more and more popular as a way to skirt the overinflated costs of a traditional wedding. No haggling with caterers, shelling out for ballroom deposits, or skimping on floral arrangements — just you, your honey, and 60 other lovesick couples you’ve never met before.

Cleaning Your Wedding Dress

七月 19th, 2011 ok

Most brides spend hundred and even thousands of pounds on their wedding dresses. That means wedding dresses are not cheap and are probably the most expensive piece of clothing you will buy during your lifetime. Traditional and with the majority of wedding dresses, they are white or a very light colour like beige. Obviously in other words we can say any marks or dirt will show up more readily.

During the actual wedding, in having a great time and enjoying yourself, your dress will get some dirt on it no matter how careful you are trying to be. Panic not as you can always clean your dress. You can always try and clean the dress yourself but this is not recommended! There are professional dry cleaners who specialise in cleaning wedding dresses.

Wedding dresses are usually substantial garments and therefore cleaning them is a a task in itself. Not only that, the value of wedding dresses means that the dry cleaners do need to cover themselves with insurance in case anything goes wrong. Due to these factors, having your dress dry cleaned is an expensive business. It can cost a couple of hundred pounds and in some cases can cost a percentage of the cost of your dress. I have come across people who were charged 10% of the cost of the dress! A large proportion of this goes towards the insurance.

Once your dress is dry cleaned, then you need a proper dress storage box for it that is the right size and more importantly is pH neutral. This means that there is no acidity or alkalinity within the material of the box. This is important because any acidity or alkalinity can over time degrade the fabric of the dress or discolour it. So, when you have your dress boxed, store it somewhere at room temperature so you avoid wide temperature fluctuations.

The main piece of advice on this site is to invest in getting your dress professionally dry cleaned rather than doing it yourself. Once cleaned, store it properly in a pH neutral dress box.

Best Bridesmaid Dresses

七月 19th, 2011 ok

Bridesmaids dresses come in all colours, shapes and sizes, but not all colours suit everyone and some shapes look better in specific styles of dress. This doesn’t mean having lots of different bridesmaid dresses, because there are ways of making it all work while keeping everyone happy.

Colors for bridesmaid dresses

When the colour theme for the wedding has been decided, it does not have to spell disaster for the bridesmaids. Everyone can wear a shade or tone of most colours, and the dresses do not have to be identical as long as they remain within the colour palette. Look for jewel or pastel shades which complement the bridesmaid’s natural skin and hair colour. Tie it all together with matching shoes and wedding flowers and the theme will look elegantly natural.

Red and Pink Bridesmaid Dresses

Blonde and fair skinned beauties look good in pastel pink shades. Brunettes could go for a deeper red, cerise or magenta dress. Redheads look best in very pale pink. Dark skinned women look wonderful in strong pinks and reds

Blue Bridesmaid Dresses

Blondes and brunettes can wear most shades of blue. Redheads look best in deeper shades with a hint of green. Dark skinned bridesmaids could go for the more purple blue shade but not too dark.

Lavender and Purple Bridesmaid Dresses

Almost everyone looks good in lavender or deep purple. Redheads and dark skinned bridesmaids should go for the stronger shades for purple.

Orange and Yellow Bridesmaid Dresses

Yellow is a really difficult colour for bridesmaids. If it is the chosen theme, look for very pale golden yellow or deep gold. In the same way, orange can make all skin tones look washed out or sallow. Go for the richer bronze end of the orange spectrum and soften with a cream trim or lace at the neckline. Alternatively, choose peach shades for brunette bridesmaids.

Green Bridesmaid Dresses

Redheads look gorgeous in most shades of green, especially emerald. Blondes and brunettes could go for the more aquamarine tints.

Black Bridesmaid Dresses

For evening weddings, bridesmaids can look beautiful in black. The dresses should be short, simple and with thin straps. Dark skinned bridesmaids should have a white or silver trim at the neckline to soften the effect.

Although flower-girl children look adorable in long princess dresses, short adults can be swamped by long full skirts. Short girls are best in shorter dresses without too much detail or fussy design.

Taller bridesmaids can wear short or long dresses. For very slender women, a fuller skirt or sleeve detail will create a better balance.

Choose soft flowing fabric rather than the stiffer satins or traditional taffetas.

How to Choose a Flower Girl Dress

七月 19th, 2011 ok

When selecting a flower girl dress for your wedding, there are many things to consider – the age and height of the flower girl, wedding colors, dress length, dress style, and so forth. The first step is to know what styles of flower girl dresses are available.

First one should know the roles for “Flower Girls”. This role comes from medieval times as a decoy to lure evil spirits away from the Bride to avoid a curse on the marriage.  She may wear a miniaturized version of the Bride’s gown or a  edding-style gown complete with train and flowing headpiece.  She carries a bouquet. The young ladies are usually dressed to coordinate more with the Brides Maids rather than in a full, fluffy little girl’s dress.

Types of dress: Selecting the right flower girl dresses and accessories is an exciting time. Indeed it is a special day for the bride rather than the flower girl but what she wears will help her feel just that much more special and create memories for a life time. Traditionally and in many cultures yet today, the “little bride” look is desirable for flower girl.

Today we’re seeing a desire for clean lines and simple styles more in tea length than formal. Many feel that this helps focus the emphasis on the child and the meaning of the day. Sleeveless is also definitely popular in many locations. Light touches of beading are still very popular but it is not as ‘standard’ as it once was. More modern styles will include lovely dresses with an entirely different silhouette from the standard ballgown style. Selecting the Colors: White or ivory dresses are the most popular (always coordinated with the color of the Bride’s gown).  There are many alternatives, consider the following:

A white or ivory dress and add a sash in a color close to the color of the bridesmaid dresses.  It may be possible to order extra fabric from the company where you order the Bride’s Maids’ dresses to have sashes made up.  Or, you can select a similar color from a child’s dress company, matching isn’t often that important.

A white or ivory flower-petal filled dress.  Select flower petals in the color of the flowers everyone will carry or the color of the Bride’s Maids’ dresses.  It is not necessary to have an exact match. When to Shop It is very important to shop early so you have the widest possible selection.

This will allow you time to think things through and order any style you want – even with extra dress length if necessary/available and still have time to make alterations before the day she wears it.

While women with slim figure can certainly opt for those short evening dresses with sleeves. Evening gowns with sleeves is the best choice for the women who want to look magnificent as well as be comfortable in what they are wearing. A few things to consider about the sleeves include the tightness of the sleeves. Make sure that you don’t opt for too tight sleeves, since they might prohibit movement of your arms.

Patterns

Once you are done with selecting the color and length of the dresses, then is the time for you to search for the best evening dress pattern for yourself. When it comes to evening dresses for women over 40, they can opt for medium length dresses with three fourth sleeves, full sleeves or mini sleeves. You can try various popular sleeve patterns like petal sleeves, Juliet sleeves, cap sleeves, bell sleeves, illusion sleeves, etc. You can try various patterns of sleeved evening dresses like lace mini dresses, strong shoulder cocktail dresses, flutter sleeved cocktail dresses, cap sleeved cocktail dresses, draped wide sleeved evening dress with embellished waistline, embellished sleeved evening dress, classic evening or cocktail dress with ruffled collar and bell sleeves, sequined evening dresses with sleeves that are shorter and come with scoop neckline, full sleeved paillette dress with chain embellishment, etc.

Some other elegant evening dress pattern with sleeves include, suede deep V neck mini dress with full sleeves, leather zip neck dress with short sleeves, asymmetrical zip neck and belt with silver buckle, full lace evening dress with full sleeves and strong shoulder style, kimono silk mini dress with asymmetrical fringed trim, one shoulder loose weave detailed full sleeve and back; silk or satin dress with sheer viscose top, round neck, drapes from bust to hem, three fourth sheer sleeves, delicate belt and side zip fastening; etc. Well, these were a few example of short as well as long evening dresses with sleeves that you can try for your special evening event. Along with the clothing pattern, you need to check for the best women’s shoes for evening wear that include high heels of various materials like suede, leather, velvet, etc. You can try open toed, strappy shoes and stilettos, that come with black, golden or silver color or, matching color shade with your evening dress.

As I said earlier, elegance is the irreplaceable part of selecting the evening dresses with sleeves. Once, it is taken care of, then any evening dress is ready to dazzle the occasion! Am I right?

Lady Gaga Sued for Charity Scam

七月 19th, 2011 ok

Lady Gaga has been accused of pocketing proceeds from the sales of “We Pray for Japan” wristbands and the bizarre singer is now facing legal action.

Gaga said on her website that all proceeds from the sale of the “We Pray For Japan” wristbands were going to the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

But a Michigan law firm says that’s not true. “I’m suing Lady Gaga simply to hold her accountable for giving the money that she was raising for charity to the cause that she was trying to raise it for,” said Ari Kresch, an attorney with 1-800-LAW-FIRM, which is based in Southfield, Michigan.

That cause being Japan’s disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11 that caused an estimated $200-billion worth of damage.

“Everyone should come and visit this beautiful place. This is one of my most favorite places on earth,” Lady Gaga has said in the past.

But soon in a Michigan federal courtroom, the poker face showdown over a $5-million lawsuit could kick off.

“But when you use your celebrity and your power as a musician to take money from people under false pretenses, that’s just wrong,” said 1-800-LAW-FIRM attorney Alyson Oliver.

Lady Gaga charges $5 for a “We Pray for Japan” wristband, another $3.99 for shipping and handling and $0.60 for tax. The lawsuit alleges that Gaga got greedy by inflating the shipping cost and pocketing the extra and refusing to disclose how much of the $5 actually goes to the Japanese victims.

Since Lady Gaga has sold these wristbands across the country, it is alleged that she has now violated consumer protection laws in every single state.

The suit also claims Gaga never disclosed how much of the $5 bracelets was actually going to Japan relief.

But little monsters who were looking for their daily fix of Gaga were likely disappointed when they went to Mother Monster’s YouTube account and found the following message, “This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s Copyright Policy,” and mainly resulted from a matter that she posted footage from her recent appearance on the Japanese show “SMAP x SMAP,” on the Fuji TV network.

During her ten minute set she performed a medley of songs featuring Born This Way, You & I and The Edge of Glory.

Lady Gaga has two YouTube accounts, the Vevo account where her music videos often debut, and “ladygagaofficial”, which is the one that got suspended.Footage of that performance has since been removed from other websites as well as YouTube.

Interscope, the singer’s record label and publicist, has yet to comment.

Gaga’s HBO concert special Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden on Thursday earned five Emmy Award nominations.

But later in the evening the account was back to normal, Lady Gaga’s official YouTube channel has been restored after it was blocked over a copyright dispute.

The Google Inc. owned YouTube channel declined to comment. Its policy is to remove accounts after three copyright violations.

In April, the pair announced plans for a television show together, “Q’Viva!
