Reality Recap of the Week 6/16/10 part II

SYTYCD

For those of you who don't know what that stands for you are missing out. This show is So You Think You Can Dance. One of the most amazing shows on the air. So far my favorites are Kent (Ohio native), Alex and Adechike. Sorry ladies none of you have stood out to me yet but the season has just begun. I love the way the show brought back previous contestants to dance with the new contestants. Some of my favorites are back ..... Twitch, Ade, Pasha, Anya and Dominic.

Unfortunately tonight someone is getting kicked off. They will have to dance for their lives or it is back home they go. All of my people got enough votes tonight so I am not worried. Alexie was chosen to go home. To see more about the show please go to http://www.fox.com/dance/.

Reality Recap of the Week 6/16/10 part I

One of my favorite reality shows is back for its new season. The show I am talking about is Design Star. I love watching the creative ideas come to life in a room. This week the contestants were only given 500 dollars for the materials for their white room challenge and were told that they will be shopping at an Asian marketplace. The twist this week was that they were paired with another contestant and had to design the space to the liking of who their partner was. Each had time to ask questions to determine what the person would want in their room. Once at the market they were only given one hour to shop.

During the judges walk through one of the designers threw their partner under the bus. When interviewed she described a lounge type room but when the judges asked if she like the room that he created for her she said he missed her personality all together and that she was more Bohemian Chic. Unfortunately that was not what she told him and he was placed in the bottom six. The judges picked the six favorites and the bottom six have to wait it out.

This season something new is that the people who are in the bottom of the pack will have to create a taped walk through of their space to show their personality on television. So not only will they be judged on their room, they will be judged on their persentation of their room. I love this new element of the competition. In the end Nina won best room and Julie got sent home (good decision).   Here are some of the pictures of the best rooms and then a picture of Julie's room, you will be able to see why she was sent home. To see the other's room please go to HGTV, http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv-design-star/show/index.html.

Say it with me ... PEDICURES ARE MY FRIEND!!!

Ok ladies if you are going to wear sandals this summer please treat yourself to a pedicure before you do. Cracked feet, chipped polish and peeling  heels are not cute and should be illegal. If you know me you know that I absolutely hate to see clear polish on women's toe nails. Throw some type of color on them. Clear is for Men!!!! Be Bright, Bold, and Beautiful for these summer months. Try yellows, pinks, blues, greens of all shades. Stand out in the world of feet. If those colors are too much for you go classic with a french tip. Just make sure your feet are done. Last buy sandals in a half size bigger for comfort and so your feet do not hang off the front or back, because you WILL I repeat WILL get talked about if you are seen with your toes dangling off the front of you shoes.  Now here are some of my favorite spots to get pedicures from in Columbus, Ohio and its surrounding areas:

Bridesmaid Dresses You Can Wear Again

Last week while I was waiting on my hair stylist to start curling my hair I was shocked to hear how much one of her clients spent on her bridesmaid dress and shoes. She stated that she spent 180 on the dress alone and will never be able to wear the dress again. She spent 60 on the shoes that will be dyed to match the dress.  I can remember my experience spending over 100 on a bridesmaid dress that I never wore again and was inspired to find dresses that can be worn more than once. Here are my picks for bridesmaid dresses that could be worn more than once. Enjoy.

Primer experiment #2: Beauti Control's Secret Agent Color Primer

Love Love Love this primer. It goes on smooth and also makes your skin feel smooth. It helps your makeup stay on a little longer than normal.  I would totally recommend this primer to everyone. In order to get this product you have to order it from a Beauti Control consultant. If anyone needs one, I know one so let me know : )

Booty Pop Pop Pop....LOL

I know I know...I said that I would update you on the reality shows but darn it there is just one too many. Now that shows are coming to the season finales I feel like I can get back to what I said I was going to do. I told everyone I was having a Jersey overload with all of the reality shows now and that I was not going to watch Jersey Couture but I couldn't help it. I had to check it out. Jersey Couture is centered around a Jersey family owned business selling dresses called Diane and Co. The family includes Diane the mom/boss, Kim eldest daughter, Christina youngest daughter, youngest child Anthony and Sal the father. The store carries all kinds of dresses from wedding, prom, bridesmaides, homecoming and dresses for events like bridal showers, etc. During this first episode the dresses sold were for attending a wedding, prom, a baby shower and a fashion show for charity.

Now let's get down to business...the experience you receive while at the store is very personal and one on one. Each client is given their own stylist to find the dress that is made for her. They make their clients feel important and special. However the mother is waaaayyyy over the top. You hear words like booty pop and viganini. She also calls herself the boobologist specializing in making everyone's boobs look incredible. She is very honest and doesn't hold anything in so if you are not easily offended you will love her.  She is funny. Always dancing and singing around she keeps all of the customers amused.

I don't know how well the show will do but me being the reality freak that I am will be tuning in because it deals with fashion. In case you missed it, the show will be repeating this week on Oxygen on 6/3 at 7AM and 7PM and 6/5 at 2AM just to name a few. Make sure you check it out and let me know what you think.
