Reply:There are lots of websites (do a google search) for hairstyles. There might be formal hairdo's in magazines - go for a browse they're probably all doing xmas party ideas now. Or pop into your hairdressers as they usually have magazines. They will also be able to advise you ob styling etc.
Reply:i can't really advise you bcos i don't know what your hair looks like but google have some great sites for prom/formal hairstyles...
Reply:The best is look through the good magazines like Cosmopolitan, Vogue. Also, look at some pictures of the Stars, and what they are wearing at the moment, and have a look at their hair.

How do I get fingernail polish out of a comforter?
My 11 y.o. daughter spilled hot pink nail polish on her pale green and lilac comforter. Is there any hope of getting it out without ruining the fabric?
How do I get fingernail polish out of a comforter?
You don't say what material the comforter is made of, so assuming is man made fibre you could use nail varnish remover, white spirit or paint thinner.
Use one at a time and not one straight after the other. DO NOT mix them.
A lecture to your daughter about using paint and other similar substances over newspaper and preferibly on a non-carpeted floor would probably be wise to avoid future similar trouble. Although if she's like my own daughter, you'll be wasting your breath, lol.
Reply:I've tried everything and nothing works. My white shirt with pretty maroon nailpolish is now my painting shirt. Maybe you could artistically spill or dot the same nailpolish all over the comforter so it looks intentional. Pink, pale green and lilac would be charming.

Where can I sell my two ball gowns that have never been worn and never will be?
I have two beautiful gowns that I need to sell but can't seem to shift them on ebay even though there are photos at every angle and a good description! They're both size 8, one burgundy, one lilac. Need to sell due to forthcoming wedding!
Where can I sell my two ball gowns that have never been worn and never will be?
You could try putting an advert in the local paper - my local does not charge anything for this. Alternatively, if you have a second hand outlet near you they usually take good clothing which is either new, nearly new or designer. I am surprised you have not sold on Ebay as I have sold a long evening dress on there with no problem. Mine was Monsoon and I do think people look for good names. Depends what yours are. Good luck!!
Reply:Sell them on ebay
Reply:try a resale place or online like EBay or some other place
Reply:You could start ringing your local dress agency.
They take a cut if they sell your clothes for you.
It's worth a try.

Reply:Try posting them on Craigslist it's a great way to sell used or new stuff you have from bricks to clothes
Reply:I'd keep trying ebay. Maybe lower price? School proms are coming up soon i'm sure they will sell
Reply:Look in the phone book for dress agencies
Reply:try putting a advert in you local newspaper
Reply:If in uk essex area there are a couple of shops in witham that sell the dresses and split profit with you
Reply:find a store in your local area that sells 2nd hand gowns. Yoou might not get as much as you could potentially get on ebay- but right now you've got nothing on ebay. I would never buy clothes on ebay as I would want to try them on first- so this would avoid this problem for potential purchasers

Whats a good book for a 12/13 year old???????:?
Hmm... I was going to suggest the Uglies series, but that's a series. There's also the Maximum Ride series, but again... The only thing that I think might suit you is this series that I'm fairly sure is called The Royal Diaries. It technically is a series but you can read any of them and they have nothing to do with each other aside from them all being stories about past princesses from all over the world in history and all written in diary form. They are all written by different authors and only are called a series because they all have the same sort of main character, a princess.
Reply:I'll second Lurlene McDaniel books, though they are often sad.
What about Sarah Dessen books? Some are series books, while others are not. Many teens like her books. The link below shows some.
Have you read Speak? That's by Laurie Halse Anderson. She also has written others (not series books), so you might want to check out some of her other titles. (third link)
I read a book from the Dear America series. There's that word again - though they are a series, it's not about the same characters and they aren't written by the same person - they are just historical fiction. I liked Winter of the Red Snow. Though they are about girls from the past, their problems are still similar.
Second to last link is for books that are supposed to be similar (or are written by the same author) of Are You There God, It's Me Margaret.
Ella Enchanted? Supposed to be a good one, too. I haven't had a chance to read my copy yet. From there you might find some other titles to interest you.

If you like horror, my son enjoys the books done by R.L. Stine like Fear Street and Nightmare Room. I don't know if Fear Street is a series, but I definately know that Nightmare Room is not. There are 6 Nightmare Room books but each one is it's own story with different characters.

Do you think $49.99 is a good deal for this phone??
It's the new Nokia 5300 XpressMusic.

Hmm, starting to think about what flowers to do for my wedding?
I'm getting married in July at the New York Botanical Gardens, and just ordered my dress today, which will take six weeks to come in. My six bridesmaids are going to be wearing the same style dresses, just in two different colours. Three will wear lilac, and three will wear light yellow. What kinds of flowers should I use for centerpieces and the bridesmaids bouquets... and what colours would look nice with the dresses?
Hmm, starting to think about what flowers to do for my wedding?
Orchids would be nice... especially in the bright purple, some of them have yellow stamens. Um... Purple Iris' they would look GREAT. hydranga are great fillers, and available in yellows. daisys are very old school and classic (often overlooked in bridal flowers but SO pretty)....
i think either dark or light shades of purple and yellow would be bring out your colors. Perhaps allow the girls were purple dresses to have bouquets that are mostly yellow, and the yellow ones have mostly purple.
Reply:What about something like the one attached.
You could use the purple ones for the girls with the yellow dresses and then have ones done up in the yellow for the girls with the purple dress. Because they are contrasting colors they would look good together.
Reply:The knot.com has the best online gallery of flowers. There are two galleries, one is their own gallery and the other is "real weddings". You do have to register, but this is really the only website I've found to be helpful.
Reply:Wow you dress is only taking 6 weeks?!?! Mines going to take 4-6 months.
You should go interview florist and see what ideas they have. I had ideas before I went to interviewed some florist and then I was looking through one of the florist portfolio and threw most of my ideas out the window because I feel in love with the ideas she had.
Reply:Do you like Daisies!!!
Our daughter-in-law used daisies and long ribbons. The ribbons for the bridesmaids could have the colour of their dresses and yours could be white.
She also used daisies to decorate the pews. They had white toille draped from pew to pew up the aisle with white twinkle lithts and daisies in them. It is very effective and not expensive.
It is a good idea to have low, small centrepieces; maybe a pillar candle on a mirror with daisies around or some small flower. There are many wholesale flower dealers around. Just check online in your area.
Daisies are more reasonably priced than just about any other flower and they last through the entire day. They will look great with the colours of their dresses. You may like to have white tablecloths over lilac table skirts.
Hope these ideas are a help.
Reply:Gorgeous colors! I think you'd be able to get the same bouquets for all of them. I'm thinking lavendar and yellow roses http://www.windsorflower.com/catalog/ima...
, or purple callas and yellow roses, or vice versa. You can get yellow and purple lillies.Freesia comes in many colors including purples (all shades) and yellow. I would offset everything with some touches of white or ivory.
For centerpieces, have you considered maybe a bowl of lemons or yellow apples, with purple flowers, like this but different flowers:

You could float waterlillies in bowls of water with tea lights around it.
Depending on what you plan to do for favors you could plant yellow and purple pansies in colorful pots to decorate the table with and act as your favors as well.
