It's time for the 8th annual Bridal and Prom Fair at Tamarack.

This is the biggest year for the event with over 50 vendors attending.

For the first time ever, two grand prizes will be given away from sponsors.

A one-thousand dollar prize and a five-hundred dollar prize, but brides must register and be present to win.

Another first for the event, a marriage counseling table.

Coordinator of the Bridal Show, Ann Kelly says "it is an important part, pre-marital counseling is good to have and know what you're getting yourself into, and probably more people should do it."

Kelly says that a list of vendors and their contact information will be available for the brides.

She says the event wouldn't happen without the support of all the sponsors.

Singer and actress Beyoncé Knowles is turning her hand to swimwear design.

The sexy star recently posed in a teeny-weeny bikini for the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated, and is taking advantage of the opportunity to launch her own collection.

The star is thrilled about being in Sports Illustrated. She said, " You grow up seeing those issues and they're so amazing, it's crazy that I was able to be on the cover. It's amazing for me. They called and they said they were doing a music issue and they said they didn't know if I would be willing to wear the swimsuits."

She added, "My mother actually designed all of the swimsuits. We have a clothing line, House of Dereon, so that was a great launch for us."

Fashion's new face far too familiar

America's blind obsession with celebrity life doesn't just motivate the tabloids - it's also steered fashion to the point of artistic degradation. Where statuesque models once graced the covers of fashion magazines, movie stars and various other famous figures have stepped in to show off the work of prominent designers. For the past decade or so, the media has driven the fashion industry to deliver familiar faces to a gossip-ready public at the unnecessary expense of the garment industry's integrity.

Fashion is an art form, but it's also a business that relies heavily on its product's marketability. By attaching a celebrity's name to a design label - or even an entire style - the brand is exploiting pop culture's inexhaustible cache of likeable personalities. But clothing should lend its own quality to a model's body, not vice versa. When Louis Vuitton turns to someone like Jennifer Lopez to boost its image, the design house is sacrificing the very elements that make her a fitting woman to dress in the first place - independently successful, stylishly bold and sexy to an extreme. Fashion's power lies in its ability to make a woman all of these things, without the help of manipulative advertising tactics. |source|

Short shorts, mini dresses and skinny jeans are the key trends. Special fashions including the crinkle trench coat, the patio dress and batik print swimsuit will have her coming back for more, while eyelet, pointelle and textured details bring out her romantic side.

Be Mimi! Mimi Maternity can be found in over 160 locations nationwide.

Clothing Sexy: Armani hitches hems, Gucci floors them

Giorgio Armani took hemlines higher for his less formal Emporio Armani collection, while Gucci swept evening dresses right to the floor in jewelled black and Grecian column white.

Armani, who kept dresses just above the knee for his main Giorgio Armani line on Monday, made them shorter and cheekier for Emporio Armani, but kept to the bubble skirt shape nipped in to the hem that he had used before.

He also kept feet firmly on the ground in flat pumps, after saying on Monday that you did not need high heels to be sexy. |source|

Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Gisele Bundchen

Preparing for my interview with Selita Ebanks, I couldn't imagine what I would discuss with a Victoria's Secret Model or what we would have in common. I fancy myself as someone who uses my mind and my creativity to earn a living, often putting my appearance on the back burner these days. As one of Victoria's Secret's newest contract models (since 2005), Selita's life has been a non-stop whirlwind of over-the-top runway shows, personal appearances and glamorous photo shoots where she often wears little more than pieces of strategically placed silk and lace.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Selita and I had quite a bit in common, including a love of writing and a shared passion for community service and charitable works. Selita Ebanks is an exotic beauty of Caymanian, Jamaican, Irish and Indian descent. Often described as the logical successor to Tyra Banks, Selita insists that their African American heritage, exotic looks and similar last names are simply a serendipitous coincidence and that she just so happened to become initiated into Victoria's Secret angeldom as Tyra Banks was transitioning out of the modeling world for a career in television.

Selita Ebanks and I had a great time talking about her tomboyish nature, the result of being the only girl among seven brothers, the powerful experience of helping others with her non-profit organization in her native Cayman Islands, and feeling beautiful and sexy inside and out.

Oh yeah… Selita shares her turn ons and turn offs when it comes to men, and the qualities she looks for in potential suitors, for the overly inquisitive male reader…|source|

Fleece jackets and yoga pants might be the style of choice for the average Vancouver woman, but when it comes to their wedding, brides are draping themselves in silk.

“In our market, (brides) are quite classic and sophisticated. Not the kind who want over-the-top princess gowns,” said Monti Samuel, bridal manager of Blush Bridal and Special Occasions in West Vancouver.

Vancouver brides, she says, aren’t interested in a lot of beading or tulle.

“They want to be fashion-forward, have slimmer silhouettes and luxury fabrics – lots of silk.”

“There’s been a trend away from pure white,” said Samuel. “A lot of people are going for ivories, and there’s a move into the champagne colour. A lot of brides are accessorizing with sashes with colour to match with bridesmaids’ dresses or with their flowers.”

But, she said, “no crazy colours.”

As for bridesmaids dresses, brown is the colour of choice, and pink bouquets seem to be must-haves for many women this season.

“Gloves are not a big thing,” said Samuel. “(Vancouver brides) are very understated brides. We have lots of outdoor weddings.”

As for jewelry, she said it’s always pretty minimal - Swarovski crystals, diamonds and pearls. “And these days people are liking pearls with some crystals or diamonds to mix it up, and some colour in them.”

She added that chandelier earrings seem to be the new rage.

And while the “ever classic veil” is still as popular as ever, with about 90 per cent of brides wearing one, she said many women are wearing hair pieces that are woven into the hair as an alternative to the tiara which, she said, is a fad that has for the most part died.

The 25-year-old singer-actress ('Dreamgirls') dropped 20 pounds on a liquid diet for her role in the film, but these pictures show she has lost none of her bootiliciousness, as she poses seductively on a Florida beach in the bikini designed by House of Dereon, the fashion label she started with her mother.

The 2007 swimsuit edition continues with a music theme inside, featuring scantily clad models posing with Kanye West, Aerosmith, Renee Zellweger's ex-husband Kenny Chesney, and Gnarls Barkley.

The curvy singer revealed that her father and manager Matthew, was unable to see her pose in beachwear for the magazine.

Dreamgirls star Beyonce Knowles has taken the top spot in this year's swimsuit edition of 'Sports Illustrated' magazine by appearing on its cover.

The ex 'Destiny's Child' front woman says it took a lot of guts for her to bare her body on the annual top-selling edition of the magazine which has featured many famous faces including Rachel Hunter and Elle Macpherson.

Beyonce said: "These are photos I can show my kids some day so I can say 'see, momma was beautiful.

'Look how good I looked'.'

She tapped into her famous onstage alter-ego Sasha who she regularly becomes when performing on stage because in real life she claims to be a shy girl.

The 25 year-old girlfriend of rap superstar Jay-Z banished her dad from the photo shoot because it was so revealing although he did give her his blessing.

The voluptuous actress Jennifer Hudson wears a burgundy satin dress on the cover of the March issue of Vogue magazine, where she has been photographed by Annie Leibovitz and lionized by Andre Leon Talley.

In the cover image, she leans slightly forward, and her mouth is open as if she were captured in the middle of a song. Hudson, one of the stars of “Dreamgirls,” is not the usual fragile-framed celebrity or model that one typically finds starring in an issue of Vogue. more info..

"They called and they said they were doing a music issue and they said they didn't know if I would be willing to wear the swimsuits. I said I would for Sports Illustrated because it's so classy.

The sultry singer, actress, fashion designer and model reportedly dieted for the saucy photo shoot reports AP.

Beyoncé - who is following in the footsteps of Elle Macpherson, Heidi Klum
and Tyra Banks by posing in a swimsuit for the magazine - said: "I had to watch what I ate, which was tough because the shoot was
right after Thanksgiving. At dinner, I kept thinking, 'This extra piece of
pie will show up.'
"I always make sure I celebrate it up, but I was so terrified with every
little thing I ate this year.
"The shoot took a lot of guts. I'm a really shy person. Everyday I play a
character and I had to tap into that."
The 25-year-old singer-and-actress is proud of the photographs and can't
wait to show them to her children - when she has them.
Beyoncé said: "These are photographs I can show my kids

Despite the revealing outfits and sand action displayed in her music videos, Beyonce's manager father apparently decided the SI shoot would be a little too much for him and that he wouldn't be present.

The singer - who was terrified about appearing on the cover of the
magazine's famous annual swimsuit issue - has revealed her father Matthew,
who is also her manager, couldn't bear to see her pose in revealing
beachwear.
Beyoncé said: "Kelly Rowland showed up. My mom was there, so was my nephew.
Dad was going to come, but he said, 'Well, I'll meet you in Orlando after
the shoot. I'm not so sure that I want to see this. All my blessings -
you're a big girl. But I'm not so sure I want to see it.' "
some day. I can say,
'See, momma was beautiful. Look how good I looked!' " more information
