bridesmaid dresses, davids bridal: TLC’s ‘Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta’ generates ‘Bridesmaids’ spinoff

After just one season on air, “Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta” has already created a spinoff: “Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids.”

The timing is good given that the recent film “Bridesmaids” has created plenty of buzz. The shows will air back to back starting this Friday, with the second season of “Atlanta” debuting at 9 p.m. with two back-to-back episodes, then “Bridesmaids” at 10 p.m.

Both are shot at Bridals by Lori, the Atlanta bridal shop owned by Lori Allen. She said the spinoff was happenstance. The producers happened to hear a commotion on the bridesmaid floor while shooting the regular version and the idea came up to do a show on that aspect of wedding planning as well.

The appeal of the original show is the conflicts, usually between the bride and her family members, typically the mom, over what dress to purchase. There are budgetary considerations. There are style considerations. Bridals by Lori employees often have to play diplomat and therapist, as well as sales people.

With the bridesmaids, the complications are comparable. In the first episode, one picky bride brings in nine of her 15 bridesmaids from Houston to find a dress for them. She budgets it at $500 per dress, though some bridesmaids balk at the cost. She doesn’t care, saying the $500 number was in an email. Another bride clashes with her bride of honor, Melissa, trading insults and very different fashion opinions. Read More

Top Ten (10) Member AKB48 Ranking 2011 Results

Top Ten (10) Member AKB48 Ranking 2011 Results


The results for the AKB48 General Election 2011

Maeda Atsuko

1. Maeda Atsuko

After losing last year’s battle, Maeda Atsuko is back as the 2011′s face of AKB48. With Maeda appearing extensively in mainstream television this year and the release of her first solo single. It is no surprise that the girl that has been described as the personification of AKB48 reclaims her spot. Will we see a “Comeback” themed 23rd single for AKB48′s K-pop loving center?

Oshima Yuko

 2. Oshima Yuko

Despite the impressive number of total votes this year, Oshima Yuko loses her place to Maeda Atsuko by a less than 10% margin. While not quite as visible, Oshima Yuko continues to win fans over with her vigor and silly charms.

Kashiwagi Yuki

3. Kashiwagi Yuki

It’s no secret that Kashiwagi Yuki has been going place as of late. Between her exposure as a weather girl and the debut of her sub-group French Kiss, the past year has seen her popularity rise far more so than any other AKB48 member. Which is why she takes the number three spot this year. The question remains if she will be able to bridge the sizable gap between her and second place in time to come.

Shinoda Mariko

4. Shinoda Mariko

Regardless of her rare participation in theater performances and decreasing appearance on AKB48 related shows, Shinoda Mariko drops only a single spot this year, no doubt thanks to her exposure through other popular mediums.

Watanabe Mayu

5. Watanabe Mayu

Watanabe Mayu continues to increase her fanbase at a steady level. Allowing her to retain her position at #5. Arguably, her timely photobook release may have helped too.

Kojima Haruna

 6. Kojima Haruna

AKB48′s lazy queen has not been standing out any more particularly than last year, with her drama career temporarily coming to a standstill. Instead Kojima opts to continue her strong presence in AKB48, variety shows and her sub-unit No Sleeves. It also helps that she appears far more frequently than any other member in publications, with it being impossible to not find at least one magazine featuring a bikini-clad Kojima on shelves on any given day. Kojima Haruna takes the sixth spot by a narrow edge of just 130 votes.

Takahashi Minami

7. Takahashi Minami

Team A’s captain and now official leader of the entire AKB48. With no distractions with the exception of being part No Sleeves (as well), Takahashi’s hard work and dedication toward the idol group continues to garner the respect of fans all over.

Itano Tomomi

8. Itano Tomomi

Despite her solo debut this year and her role as the face of the popular Samantha Vega, Itano Tomomi drops 4 spots this year. She doesn’t lag far behind the previous two though.

Sashihara Rino

9. Sashihara Rino

While she had been promoted extensively for years, the past year has been especially good to Sashihara Rino. Her post Heavy Rotation feature as the video’s least prominent member and subsequent popularity stunts have struck gold with the public who find it rather difficult not to like AKB48′s most notorious wota.

10. Matsui Rena

Long regarded as one of SKE48′s most popular members. SKE48′s hidden ace Matsui Rena had missed making last year’s top 10 by just 84 votes. This year she overtakes fellow SKE48′s Matsui Jurina (and most of the 48 groups) to become SKE48′s highest ranking representative.

【吉本と河島佑香の野望】

一説によると芸能活動に未練がある河島は、タレントとしていつでも再復帰できるように芸能関係の仕事を探していたようだ。そして吉本が河島を即決採用したのにも理由がある......と関係者は語る。

「YGA（よしもとグラビアエージェンシー）やAKB48の姉妹グループNMB48が想像以上に好調で、上層部が"アイドルは金になる"とアイドル育成に力を入れ始めたのです。そんな矢先に河島から応募があったと知り、"アイドルやその卵とのパイプができる"と採用を即決したと聞いています」（週刊誌記者）

ちなみに、「ぱふゅ〜む」はアクターズスクール広島に通っていた西脇綾香、樫野有香、河島佑香の3人で自主的に結成されたグループ。メンバー全員の名前に「香」という漢字が付いていたため、香りを意味する「ぱふゅ〜む（Perfume）」というグループ名になったのは有名なエピソードだ。ソース

Indian Lehnga

Lehnga choli, (Langa or Lengha) are available for women of all sizes. Indian Lehnga Cholis have a beautiful history in India. When the Moguls invaded India in early BC they brought this unique skirt and blouse combination with them. Today's bride is more likely to wear a Lehnga Choli to her wedding than a sari due to the heavy weight of bridal saris.
Women of all ages also love Lehnga Choli for formal occasions and dress occasions. Women just can not go wrong with a fashion item that has been in fashion for hundred of years.The lehnga reached its peak of development under the Mughal kings. It was the best answer the Indian queens could give to the rich Muslim pehsvaz dress of the Mughal royal women.
The interaction between the two communities was further increased by the bazars organized by the Mughal kings where both the sellers and the buyers were women.
The dupatta (the Hindustani name given to the orhani by the Indian Muslim women) became almost a mark of respect for the women. It was mostly two and a half yards in length and one and a half yards in breadth. It was used as a headdress and also to increase the beauty of the lehnga. Mostly the dupatta was made of a thin material and to give some more weight to the cloth, golden lace or tassels were attached to the ends. The choli was also developed the cover the arms but the length, however, usually remained above the navel, revealing the slim waist of the women. The fabrics used to make the lehnga are in fact the same as those used under the great Mughal King, Akbar; silks and brocades. The dupatta is now made of silk, linen of chiffon which is a new development.

The popularity of lehngas has creased proportionately with the times. In fact, in northern India it has very successfully replaced the traditional sari as a wedding dress. Now Indian brides prefer to wear lehngas which enhance their beauty and charm. The dress is mostly made in red which represents excitement and passion; orange which is a blend of yellow and red; colors so contrary in character– produces mystical effects on the mind; pink possesses all the powers and vividness of red without its frenzied impetuosity and violence. The beauty of this royal dress however lies in the fine embroidery or zari handwork done on it. This zari handwork done on the lehnga is of a very special quality and is done mostly by Muslims staying in the 100 odd villages of Farokabad in Uttar Pradesh and Lucknow.
