Let's Play Project Runway!

Now this is a video game I want to play. The video game version of 'Project Runway' launched yesterday allowing folks at home to create their own runway looks by scrolling through onscreen designs and adding their own touches.Players can choose from preselected styles to win a challenge and can modify colour and length of garments, choose hair and makeup, and even walk down the runway with their models on theWii Balance Board.

It's rated E for Everyone. Look to pay $39.99 for the game and $19.99 for the PC verison at your local Walmart, Target, Kmart or Best Buy. After putting on a runway show, judges Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and even Tim Gunn will score players with stars. Either you're "in" or you're "out"!

Auf wiedersehen!

Last week Vogue Italia launched Vogue Black and Vogue Curvy as supplemental web sites to focus on beauty and news of Black talent in fashion and women with figures.

Vogue Black’s home page includes "The Catwalk Queen" Pat Cleavland as well as media mogul Tyra Banks featured in a video interview. The site also features Black Beauty, New Faces, Seen in Vogue, and Spotlight On sections. Check out Vogue Black at http://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-black

For Vogue Curvy, model/actress/TV personality Toccara Jones and actress America Ferrera satisfy those voluptuous wishes of women labeled plus-size, who rarely grace fashion pages. The site also features Stores, How to, and Curvy Icons sections. Check out Vogue Curvy at http://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-curvy
