Miss Congeniality – A Dress Up Fashion Show Comedy
Gracie Hart is a police officer who is very dedicated to her job. Growing up, she could always protect herself and her friends from the schoolyard bullies.
Gracie goes to a restaurant and witnesses some CD’s being sold. Soon her reinforcement comes and arrests the Russians. One of the Russians begin choking and she saves him. Back at the headquarters the police get a letter from the Citizen. She wants to work on the case with the Citizen, but because she didn’t follow orders and helped the choking Russian she is not allowed. After the police figure out that the next attack will be an the Miss United States pageant the police decide that they need an undercover agent to keep an eye on things. They decide that Gracie is their best bet. First she has to go through a transformation. She meets with Victor for lunch. He teaches her how to talk, eat, and walk. Later a team works on her looks. She enters as Miss New Jersey.
Before she knows it she is at the breakfast orientation. Soon Miss Alabama becomes her friend and meets her for hot chocolate. Just when she thinks she is going to sleep, she is called on to do more training. It is there that they find out that she doesn’t have a talent. She decides to play her singing crystal glasses full of water. When she is doing her talent she notices a man with a gun. Since the pageant is in Texas, everyone has a gun. She tackles him. He claims to be lighting his cigarette. The heads of the pageant do not like what has happened and gave her a serious talk.
The police run some tests and find out that the Citizen is a woman. They run the back grounds and find out that Miss Alabama has a past. It is up to Gracie to talk to her and find out if it is real. It is not Miss Alabama. The worst thing that she has ever done is stolen a pair of panties.
The chief pays Gracie a visit and says that they caught the Citizen. Gracie feels that it is the head of the pageant and stays behind alone. Will she stay behind for nothing? Will she save the day? Watch and find out.
Bold and Bright Therapist Uniform Colours at Fashion Week
This year Paris was all about the wide leg trouser in lady-like shades of camel, fawn and slate grey. London re-ignited our current passion for all things utility – but at this year’s Milan Fashion Week there were one two surprises on the runway that saw designers, journalists and celebrities removing their shades and picking up their pencils.
Traditionally the autumn/winter season colour story is all about a darker base palette. Think black, grey and chocolate brown and you can be pretty confident that you’re on the money in the fashion stakes. Think again. This year at Milan we saw the most vivid colours ever witnessed on the runway at any time of year. Hot pink, vibrant teal and rich purple all put in a loud and proud appearance as models strutted their stuff for Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Jil Sander to name just a few.
Now we’re not suggesting you rush out and buy a head to toe canary yellow two piece suit or a therapist uniform in fluorescent orange, but when a trend this big starts it’s impossible to ignore and we’d stake our reputation on the fact that brights are going to be one of this winter’s big hitters. And of course, as a beauty professional you need to consider what’s happening on the runway when you choose your new therapist uniform.
Bright colour is a surprisingly easy trend to wear and a lot less scary than it looks. There’s only really one golden rule to follow; when your colour palette is this bright keep the cut of your therapist uniform classic and simple. Think about the asymmetrical tunic – slimming at the waist with a strong, structured neckline. It creates a sleek silhouette that’s the perfect base for a bold shade. Wear it with slim fitting trousers or a smart skirt for a look that’s classic and bang on trend at the same time.
Wearing bright colours is about confidence. If you feel sure that the shade and style of your therapist tunic suits you perfectly you’ll be able to carry off the most vibrant shades. And don’t feel you have to follow any trend like a slave, (after all what looks wonderful on a model can be a very different thing when a mere mortal tries to carry it off!) So think about accent colours for your therapist uniform; a black beauty tunic with a hot pink trim is on-trend and very wearable. You could even try wearing a strong colour on top with black trousers or a skirt – although after the mouth watering shades we saw at Milan Fashion Week we don’t think we’ll ever wear black again.
