One of the most common female fantasies is to lose inches from the waist without dieting, exercising or surgery. Skin tightening and contouring using external radio frequency, ultrasound, lasers or other energy-based devices have become very popular in recent years because they provide a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures for contouring, correcting skin laxity, improving skin quality and/or removing fine lines. Many options are available and advertised, but most don’t stand the test of time.

The latest high-tech treatments claim to help people work off the fat without surgery. A new kid on the block, just launched in India in this sector is called BTL Vanquish ME from BTL Aesthetics, UK and it claims to remove fat without surgery. The device has a non-surgical way of targeting the fat cells to eventually break them down and achieve substantial inch loss.

What is so different or rather special about the Vanquish treatment is that it has no downtime or side effects. It can be done during your lunch break and takes a maximum of one hour for a session. It is fast, efficient, comfortable and a safe method of getting rid of the stubborn fat on the hips and stomach. In this treatment, there is no direct contact between the patient and the device. The patient can read books, watch TV or simply chat with friends while undergoing the treatment. The applicator is suspended over the abdomen about half an inch above the skin. Vanquish uses radio frequency waves which targets the fat cells. This results in cell death without damaging skin or muscle. Since it causes cell death, the results are long lasting. Generally, four sessions are required depending on the results desired.

The treatment is absolutely safe and has no chances of damaging external skin or muscles lying beneath the fat layer. The US FDA-approved BTL Vanquish ME has been around worldwide for a few years and has only recently been introduced in India.Read more at:cheap prom dresses uk

The 42-year-old model - who has daughters, Helene, 11 and Lou, six, and sons, Henry, 10 and Johan, nine - has revealed one of her young girls is interested in continuing her mother's success in the fashion industry.

When asked if she'd be happy if her children decided to follow in her footsteps, she told The Today Show: ''I wouldn't necessarily love it myself, I'm not pushing my kids in any direction. They should right now first of all be children, and learn everything that they have to learn in school.

''But for the first time, my daughter maybe like two months ago, she said, 'Mumma what do I have to do to take over your empire?' I was like, that's the cutest thing. I was like, 'Well, you go to school first and let's get good grades first', but I thought that was funny and she was like, 'Maybe I should do modelling or designing things.'''

However, it may be a while until Heidi's daughter takes over as she previously revealed she would not be fine ''as a person'' if she had to stop working.

She said: ''Honestly, if I would stop working tomorrow, I would be fine. But I would not be fine as a person because I'm like the creative process. And I am definitely driven.''Read more at:http://www.mariepromdress.co.uk/yellow-prom-dresses

David Lynch turned 70 today. “I’m dedicating the show to him,” Raf Simons said after a presentation that stepped fearlessly through Lynch’s nightmarish mirror of apple-pie Americana. Nightmares and Dreams he called it, and it was a brilliant, disturbing descent into a world where imperfections ruled, where youthful idealism had been literally chewed to shit, where the woods were dark and full of danger. Welcome to Raf’s nightmare.

The one-sheet scrupulously handed out to each guest listed eight groups of four notions each. The first group named Lynch and his musical collaborator Angelo Badalamenti, the designer Martin Margiela, who continues to be all things to Simons, and the artist Cindy Sherman, whose travelling show is called Untitled Horrors. The last group listed the titles of four Raf Simons shows from way back, when his exaltation of adolescence marked him as a fashion visionary.

Between those two groups was a free-associating grab-bag of adolescent hope, fear, confusion, pain, from Freddy Krueger’s Elm Street to Larry Clark’s Tulsa, from boy scouts to The Breakfast Club. And at the very end waited the Black Lodge and the White Lodge, from Lynch’s Twin Peaks, where terror came home to rest.

The list was by turns funny, macabre, evocative, provocative, and it merited analysis — like the one you’ve just been subjected to — because it so clearly clarified Simons’s state of mind, the bird flying free from the big Paris fashion cage, finding his wings again. Reflecting on that clarity, and the twenty years — already? — that he has been doing what he does, he said, “You start to see you have your own uniform.”

And there it was: the skinny and the oversize, the moth-eaten and the bandbox new, the innocent and the experienced. Clothes to grow into and out of, clothes to cherish, clothes to discard. The wardrobe of a boy who is living in his own head, pictures forming as he listens to his music, pictures dissolving as he finds new sounds. All the time, the real world is chewing at his consciousness, wanting him to change. So he moves further away, into the woods. BAM! Twin Peaks. Like every other darkling dreamer of his generation, Simons surrendered to Lynch’s vision. The extent of that surrender was elucidated on his catwalk tonight where his models had the dazed mien of college boys who’d been to hell and back with Laura Palmer.

Adding a sinister subtext, Kim Fowley, the monstrous Svengali of LA punk, was growling about “young American boys and girls” on the soundtrack at that particular point. Later, Elvis crooned Blue Moon and Tommy James quavered his way through Crimson and Clover and, in this context, both songs were a reminder of Lynch’s unhinging use of the bland Blue Velvet in his film of the same name.

Everyone remembers the scene in Nightmare on Elm Street where Freddy’s arms stretch till his fingers scrape down alley walls. Simons managed a similar macabre extension with his sleeves tonight. Knitwear gnawed (like Freddy’s) trailed southwards. So did coats and massively inflated puffa jackets, all mounted on pipe-stem legs like something from another nightmare, Tim Burton’s. Letter sweaters, staple item for big men on campus, were torn and frayed, the American dream in tatters. (You can choose to be as political as you like with that, but don’t expect Simons to follow you.) Simons insisted he didn’t want to tell a story. Too late. “I’m just making beautiful things, and things go wrong and dark,” he said. David Lynch couldn’t have put it more succinctly. Sensational.Read more at:sexy prom dresses | blue prom dresses

A beauty ad released by a Thailand company has generated enormous online heat for claiming that white skin means success. Many people expressed concerns that the ad promotes a racist ideology, giving the impression that white skin is superior.

In the ad, Cris Horwang, a light-skinned actress says with a smile that “Just being white, you will win.” The ad, which runs for 50 seconds, is produced by Seoul Secret, a Thai-based beauty company.

The ad promotes a skin lightening product. In the ad, Horwang warns viewers that “the whiteness I have invested in, will just vanish,” if she doesn’t use the advertised pill.

Even more serious is the part where another actress standing beside her sees her skin turning darker, a variation achieved through digital alteration. Seeing that, Horwang asserts that the product she’s promoting, called Snowz, “will help you not to return to being dark.”

Then she adds a little reassurance that the skin will turn “eternally white, I am confident.”

After the ad was widely shared and criticized online, the company acted on Friday by bringing the ad down from diverse online platforms before issuing a statement.

“(We) would like to apologize for the mistake and claim full responsibility for this incident. Our company did not have any intention to convey discriminatory or racist messages,” read part of the statement.

“What we intended to convey was that self-improvement in terms of personality, appearance, skills, and professionality (sic) is crucial.”

Although such products are widely sought after in most Asian countries, including Thailand, the online community didn’t fail to fiercely criticize the ad.

Yukti Mukdawijitra, a professor at Thammasat University, said: “I think it’s really ugly — I couldn’t believe this kind of ad is still coming out in Thailand.”

Mukdawijitra went ahead to say that the ad depicts racism seen in the country for years, where those with lighter skin color were considered to be of higher social status and privileged.

That feeling and ideology was planted by the West, whose main concern was to portray whites as superior.

“Thai society wants to be a part of international society, so ideas of beauty are transferred from the West to Thailand as well.”

The society ends up being biased towards those of darker skin tones so that “Those who look Western, those who are white, those who have bodies that look like Westerners’, become preferable” yet in the process, “people in Thailand internalize a colonial attitude into themselves.”

As harmless as it seems, it works to promote social inequality.

Mukdawijitra advises that “It’s fine that you prefer white colors, but it doesn’t makes sense to prefer being white.”Read more at:http://www.marieprom.co.uk/plus-size-prom-dresses

After dating for four months, the pair announced their engagement on Monday (11.01.16) in the Births, Marriages and Deaths section of UK newspaper The Times.

"Mr Rupert Murdoch, father of Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, James, Grace and Chloe Murdoch, and Miss Jerry Hall, mother of Elizabeth, James, Georgia and Gabriel Jagger are delighted to announce their engagement," the classified ad reads.

The 84-year-old business tycoon, who has an estimated net worth of nearly $13 billion (£9 billion), owns The Times, as the publication falls under the umbrella of his global mass media company News Corp.

Retired supermodel Hall, 59, reportedly began dating the billionaire businessman in September and the pair went public with their relationship at the Rugby World Cup final in London on Halloween.

Murdoch's romance with Hall is believed to be the first serious relationship the magnate has had since he split from his third wife Wendi Deng in 2013.

"He is very fond of her," an insider previously confirmed to the Mail on Sunday. "There is no question that they are a couple."

Hall famously split from Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger in 1999, after it was revealed he had fathered a lovechild with Brazilian model Luciana Morad. Hall, who first started dating Jagger in 1977, shares four children with the rock star.Read more at:cheap evening dresses uk

The challenge facing Sarah Burton each menswear season is considerable, yet can be concisely summarized: How to work within the McQueen confines of tailoring, without winding up on the stuffy side of the fence? The label’s founder apprenticed at one of the starchiest and most traditional houses on “The Row,” Anderson & Sheppard, making suits for the Prince of Wales. But he used that tradition to buck the system—more visibly for women, granted, on whom an impeccably tailored menswear suit can look sharp and a little subversive, rather than staid.

For Burton, some seasons are more successful than others. Like this Fall. The designer started off, she said, in the London museum devoted to Sir John Soane. That ignited an interest in collecting, specifically in Charles Darwin and his voyages to accumulate specimens. “Talismans,” Burton called them. “Collecting, traveling. Obsession.” Obsession is a great word for McQueen clothes—and this collection was obsessed with McQueen talismans. The specimens Burton alighted on were butterflies and moths, examples of which were woven into the very fabric of her tailoring—jacquards laid out like a lepidopterist’s dream ensemble, or embroidered in swarms across coats and blazers.

Moths are, of course, a McQueen talisman—live versions appeared in two of his shows, their likeness in numerous others. They were the most evident manifestation of a number of classic McQueen references here today, culled from collections for him and her alike. For Fall, Burton’s McQueen men had their own contemporary savage beauty, with their punkish, pierced faces, cheeks seemingly impaled on safety pins dribbling filigree chains. “I would never dare call it ‘street’,” Burton balked. “But I wanted it to feel relevant to now.” The collection did, even when it boldly trod on Lee McQueen’s toes, in frogged hussar’s jackets and red barathea wool scrolled with jet, couture, and Victoriana melding together. Those were atypical menswear, but typical McQueen. The menswear references were archetypal British tailoring—officers’ mess dress, voluminous greatcoats, tautly cut double-breasted suiting. The feminizing touches were subtle—ribbons of velvet hemming coats, or as tuxedo-stripes trailing past hemlines, embroideries of jet and diamanté, and all those butterflies. But they had impact.

“I wanted to take the stuffing out of it,” said Burton. She was referring to softer tailoring specifically—silk jackets and coats based on foliate oil paintings, for instance, or the chiffon overlay on wool. But she could have been talking about the collection in general, where wing-collared shirts were starchy but came without ties and trousers, slouched over down-heel sneakers.

Burton could also have been talking about her kid-glove attitude toward Lee McQueen’s legacy—a legacy that has been seen by more than a million people, across two continents, in that “Savage Beauty” retrospective. That was womenswear-specific, but there has thus far been a hangover in her menswear shows, which have sometimes felt like museum pieces, staid and reverential; and other times like a museum’s gift shop, packed with crass looky-likey spin-offs designed purely to make money.

Subtly deferential rather than overtly referential, covetable rather than commercial, this McQueen collection trod another path—namely, its own. That Burton is able to do this without abandoning the house’s hallmarks and legacy is a mark of her swelling confidence, evident—finally—for men and women alike. This was as strong as any show she’s presented in Paris. The McQueen moths summed the whole thing up: They originated in memento mori, Renaissance paintings packed with hidden meaning that act as reminders of our own mortality. There, moths and butterflies symbolize the soul. It’s appropriate that they proliferated here, because soul was something this McQueen collection had in spades.Read more at:celebrity inspired dresses | cheap prom dresses

The Rings of Love Bridal Show is back again Sunday at the Carl Perkins Civic Center, bringing a wonderland of wedding ideas and necessities to brides and grooms to be. There are more venues and vendors than ever before.

“We’ve had hundreds of brides come in every year,” said Ashley Thomas, business manager and event coordinator at Forever Communications. “They come in and look for gowns and registries and food and entertainment, venues, honeymoon information, makeup, wedding planners, jewelers, rentals, photography — they can get pretty much everything they need at the bridal show. They can talk to the vendors, ask their questions, and watch the show.”

Over 500 brides and their guests attended the area’s longest-running bridal show last year, taking advantage of the best wedding ideas West Tennessee has to offer, according to a news release.

“The show is all about local businesses that are based in West Tennessee,” said Thomas. “We do get some vendors from Memphis and sometimes Nashville, but most of them are local, easy to get to, places that are here in town.”

For any future grooms who make the trip to the bridal show, the groom’s room is back again this year to offer a space where they can take a break from shopping, relax and watch football.

Also back is the show’s most popular event, the fashion show.

“We have a fashion show every year,” said Thomas, “where brides can actually see different gowns and bridesmaid dresses and tuxes and even junior bridesmaid and ring bearer outfits too. The fashion show is what everyone looks forward to. It’s always at the end of the show and it’s always fun and entertaining and it’s a great way to look for your perfect gown without having to actually go shopping.”

Beginning on the main stage at 4 p.m., this year’s fashion show is coordinated by Jenna King of My Best Friend Jenna, who is looking forward to showing off the hottest upcoming trends of 2016.

“There are new dress styles that come out each year and there are a lot of new looks this year for brides to get excited about that consist of sparkles and a lot of Pinterest inspiration,” King said. “Pinterest is a great inspiration for all brides, so there is going to be a lot of Pinterest-inspired ideas. But it’s all the latest 2016 looks in both dresses and tuxedos.”

One trend to look for involves lots of sparkles.

“A lot of the bridesmaid dresses have more sparkle this year,” King said. “We have a collection at my store that has a lot of sparkle. I’ll be showcasing a matte sequin collection that has been very popular this year.”

Yet another trend involves setting-specific wedding wear.

King said another trend this year is to have a rehearsal dinner dress as well as a second dress for the wedding day. “One to change into at the reception to be able to enjoy the evening with dancing and all and not have to be stuck in your wedding gown all night if it’s one that’s difficult to dance in, so we’re showcasing a lot of reception dresses.”

Proceeds from the Rings of Love Forever Communications Bridal Show benefit the Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse.Read more at:cheap prom dresses uk
