Rissy Roo's Fashion News

Alright ladies, now I know most of us cringe when our guys have ESPN on every second of the day (which is safe to say the same way they must feel when we have Keeping Up With the Kardashians on for the 900^th time, but how much Stuart Scott do I really have to listen to?!) The only shining spot on the telecast is on Saturday afternoons when Reporter Erin Andrews hits the scene. Erin has beauty and brains and is the face of ESPN's College Gameday! This girl reports on college football and basketball games every Saturday afternoon in an arena usually reserved for the boys! The girl's got game, literally! Incase you're still fuzzy on who Erin Andrews is... She was also on the 10th season of ABC's Dancing With The Stars (She placed 3rd, her partner was that crumb, Maksim).On November 9, 2011, Erin attended the 45^th Annual Country Music Awards at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. A lot of people have been trash talking Erin’s outfit, but she’s young and beautiful people, get real and stop judging! I have no idea why she attended the CMA’s either, maybe she can relate to Taylor Swifts heartache, but Erin wore what I consider a dead ringer for Sherri Hill.Rather than bore us with the usual evening gown and long trains sweeping around the Red Carpet, Erin glowed in her sequin mini cocktail dress! Sherri Hill Style 2771 will have you at mega watt celebrity status and is available in  a rainbow of colors! Shown in Green/Silver, Purple/Silver and Turquoise/Silver, also available in Pink/Silver, Silver/Silver and Ivory/Gold! Is this a New Year’s party ready mini or what?! In true Erin fashion, report back!

Prom is a not only one of a girl’s most important nights of her high school years, but it is a night she will want to remember for the rest of her life.

Prom is a night to enjoy yourselves and with your friends and for the seniors, it’s an exciting conclusion to your high school days!

On Thursday afternoon, a number of the fashion industries leading designers and retailers met in New York City to discuss an issue of growing concern in the prom industry. Among the attendees were representatives from Jovani, La Femme, Mori Lee, Sherry Hill, and Tony Bowls. The topic, bogus internet sites selling counterfeit garments to unsuspecting teenage girls. Many of these sites are based in China and are selling knockoff products while representing them as authentic garments from the industry's trendiest designers. In some cases, it has been reported that disappointed young ladies throughout the country have received no dress at all, with little to no recourse since they are not dealing with companies based in the United States of America.
