Rockin' the Carpet - You’ll see a lot of wispy hair and a lot of layers. Jennifer Hudson recently changed her look from the braids to a free-flowing look. Your hair should compliment your dress. Down dos are glamorous, sexy and very feminine. The red carpet is the best time to show your feminine side.

Maintaining Curls - Have your hair roller set during the day and then pin curl it. When you un-pin it that night, the curls will look fresh and they?ll last. It?s always a good idea to add in hair through the means of hair extensions, which look very natural. That?s another way to ensure that your curls hold.

Hiding Pins - Buy hair pins, not bobby pins. Make sure that they match your hair color. Many people don?t realize that they come in brown and blonde, along with black. They can then be camouflaged and strategically placed so that you don?t see them.

Haute Hold - I like <i>Fantasia Hair Polisher Shaping Hair Spray</i>. Another spray that has silicone in it is <i>Kemet Gold Spritz</i>. Silicone gives you really good hold.

One-Night Strand - If you want to change your color for the night, just use extensions. They come in every color imaginable. If it doesn?t come in the color that you want, you can apply a rinse to achieve the shade that you desire. Spray colors are best for photo shoots only. They don?t last long and they look kind of dry.

Flawless Skin - If you?re trying to cover a scar, head to your local department store and have one of those makeup artists use their products to help you cover your blemishes.

The Solution - Drink tea and lemon all day because it makes your stomach flat. You can eat, but stay away from bread and pasta. The lemon juice helps to tighten those stomach muscles and it also suppresses your appetite.

Bangin' Baubles - It?s always good to have a pair of diamond stud earrings. They can be cubic zirconia. You can never go wrong with those.

Full-Figured Fine - When I worked with Queen Latifah, I found that DKNY fit her very well. I love the style that she brings to those sizes. Teri Jon also has great evening wear.

Accident-Proof - <i>Topstick</i> tape is always good to keep the ?girls? in place. Double-sided tape also works very well.

Fly & Flat Tummy - <i>Ardyss Body Magic Body Shapers</i> are really good. They help your posture as well, so you really can?t slouch. They make your breasts sit up higher too. I also like <i>Wacoal</i> bras for good cleavage. They?re a little expensive but they?re excellent.

Butt Lift - Soft panty girdles will lift and not flatten your butt. There are also undergarments that act as a panty girdle for the arms.
