Miss USA Pageant 2010

toptrendsetter — Mon, 17 May 2010 00:21:34 +0000

So I am sitting here watching Miss USA 2010, wishing I was in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino for the Miss USA 2010 Pageant. I love watching the introduction of the contestants and picking my favorites. The first girl to catch my eye was Miss California, Nicole Michele Johnson. Besides her obvious beauty, she has confidence and poise. In my ranking of my top 5 girls she is definitely number 1. A close second is Miss Tennessee, Tucker Perry.

I must say, though, I was distracted from the competition when Joan & Melissa Rivers appeared giving their opinions of the girls and their opinions of what the show was going to be like. They were introduced as “fashion icons.” Really??? How old is Joan Rivers? And her daughter Melissa? She only appears on shows as a “fashion icon & expert” because of her mom. There are MUCH better people out there to comment on the fashion aspect of the show.

As I continued watching, I became even more appalled at the way Joan was talking. The Miss USA pageant is a competition that so many young girls watch and they dream about becoming Miss USA. I know I did…if only I had longer legs! I would be appalled if I had a daughter watching this show. Joan’s language is NOT appropriate for Miss USA. Here is a direct quote from Joan: Did you know that they wanted me to literally be in the swimsuit competition? But “all the men in the audience would have gone home and fantasized about having sex with their own wives.” Does anyone really think that is funny? Is that setting an example for all the young kids out there watching the show? Donald Trump made an example of Carrie Prejean, which I thought was very respectable. From watching the Celebrity Apprentice, I know he is a fan of Joan Rivers, but seriously? Maybe it’s time for her to retire from this business. She only reaches audiences of a certain age!

On another note…Curtis Stone. I personally love Curtis Stone and was so excited to see him host the show tonight. But, does anyone think it’s strange that an Aussie is hosting Miss USA? It doesn’t bother me at all, but I thought it was a bit ironic. Mr. Trump…can we take this to mean that Curtis wins the Celebrity Apprentice, or is it all a big coincidence?

All in all I am still excited to watch the show and see what happens. My 2 favs have just made it into the top 10…I always pick the winners! We’ll have to wait and see what happens next…stay tuned!

Texas’ Next Top Designer

toptrendsetter — Thu, 28 May 2009 14:09:46 +0000

On May 21, Texas’ Next Top Designer held a gala at LFT in Victory Park to introduce the top 10 finalists and announce the 2009 winner. Sew Sister, designed by Austin’s Megan Summerville, was announced as the winner and received a prize package worth $40,000 for her lingerie line.

While the night was all about the designers’ designs and the models, Top Trendsetter found two diamonds in the rough, who we are sure will be up and coming designers in the years to come. Jenna Cruciani, in a purple BCBG ruffle dress, and Brittany Kile, in blue mini with a Betsey Johnson pump, are seniors in the Dallas area who are both enrolled in FIDM San Diego for fashion design. In talking to these girls, they have an eye and a passion for fashion. Jenna’s style is more classic, while Brittany likes to add a little funk with her shoes and accessories. Keep their names in your little black book, as they are sure to design some big hits soon!

Here are Top Trendsetter’s picks for the night in various categories:
Vintage: House of Dang by Doug Voisin & Andrew Bayer
Classic: Ann Hoang by Ann Hoang
Kids: Sadie loves Kiki by Trish Hurless
Simple & Sophisticated: Ross Bennett by Ross Bennett
Accessories: eddiejo jewelry by Eddie Nelson Barrett
