10 Best Dressed at the Met Gala 2015 “China: Through the Looking Glass”

The 2015 Met Gala was a star-studded event with lots of glitz and glamour as always, but this was one our favorites. With so many looks to choose from it was quite difficult to do our yearly Best Dressed list for the year.

Although many did not hit the mark on this year theme which was “China: Through the Looking Glass”, there were many great looks to choose from that were on point.

“I love that some people got it and some people didn’t,” Jay- Z’s stylist, June Ambrose, told Pagesix.com this week. There were several dresses that made is feel like we had just received access into an emperor’s abode where he held a festive event that was meant for only the elite. It was phenomenal. There were also those that made us wonder how they received an invitation. read more

Marriage Proposals Around the World: Traditions and Trends

In the 1800’s, a gentleman who desired to propose to a lady sent her a pair of gloves signifying his intentions. Then he had to wait until the following Sunday to see if the lady wore these gloves to church. If she did, the proposal was considered to be accepted and further arrangements could be made.

If there is anything that we all can agree on when it comes to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians Reality TV star is that she is very famous. We may argue about how she became famous, but it does not take away from the fact that she is known in homes far and wide; and she has a derriere that could cause an eclipse.

Dressed in nothing but Mikimoto pearls, and a dress caressed around her most valuable assets, Kim Kardashian outdid herself and set new boundaries for those that have followed in her footsteps to be a famous reality star.
