While it may difficult to begrudge them their exulted status, there are some things that are positive about celebrity and fame. You may turn a lighter shad of green when you realize that celebs:

Inspire Us to Work Harder

Some may consider this negative, but in a culture full of celebrity worship, we want what our favorite entertainers have. We work harder at trying to attain the perfect body because Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Lopez possess it. We want to own at least one Porsche like Jerry Seinfeld, or platinum Jewelry like Sean Combs.

Though the perfect body may be unattainable, and to be fair celebrities enjoy airbrushing, personal trainers and personal chefs to help them attain either the illusion or an actual perfect body. They make us work harder at being our best self, and most of us figure if he can do it I can do it too.

Teach Us about the World

Not every person blessed with fame is shallow and self involved. Often celebrities use their fame as a platform to increase awareness about national and global problems and events. Whatever the consensus is on Angelina Jolie as a home wrecker, the fact that she has raised awareness of the importance of adoption is indisputable. Jolie, adopted two children from third world nations bringing an awareness of the plight of children in poor and developing countries. Other celebrities such as Meg Ryan, and Madonna have followed her lead and countless others will undoubtedly follow.

George Clooney may someday run for office, but is currently using his celebrity status to raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Clooney has helped raise money, and introduced many Americans to a part of the world that is often not discussed on their local news.

In addition to world events celebrities also help to raise awareness and money for foundations for rare and incurable diseases. Both Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali suffer from Parkinsons disease, Christopher Reeve was an outspoken advocate for people with spinal disabilities. Celebrities make it cool to do charitable activities such as doing a walk for cancer or encouraging women to be tested for breast cancer and men for prostate cancer. Celebrities such as Fran Drescher, and Rudolph Giuliani tell their stories and share their fight with the diseases which undoubtedly saves lives.
Though it is quite easy to look at most entertainers as overpaid and egotistical, remember there are two sides to the equation.

It wasn’t until I saw my best friend Amy with a pair of Sugar Boots that I realised just why so many thousand girls have been trying to get hold of a pair of these fantastic little things! They are actually incredibly cool looking. I have seen Sugar Boots being worn by the celebrities featured in heat magazine, and finally managed to get my hands on a pair. Luckily for me Amy is a size 4 so I could get to try before I buy, and sure enough, they fitted like a glove.

I’m not normally the type of person to rave about a pair of boots, I usually prefer to spend my time deciding what top or pair of jeans to put on. Usually the only thought shoes get is that they have to blend in with my outfit, but found myself somehow wanting to choose my outfit around these boots…most strange! I guess I’ve been hooked by the “Sugar Boot” craze and will be ordering a few more pairs…just for choice (please don’t tell my husband :o) )

Sugar boots are yet to be donned by the mighty Beyonce Knowles, but I’ve been reading on the sugar website that she is wearing the false eyelashes. Rachel Mcadams has also been said to wear the “Pump em up” lip gloss…come on girls…get a pair of Sugar shoes on your feet!

Well, I’ll have to end this article by recommending my favourite pair of Sugar Boots, and it’s the “Sugar Graphic Boot Party Polka”. It was the first pair of boots that I laid my eyes on that were made by sugar, and I guess that they will always be my favourite, and I’ve got a pair on order at the moment.

However, it has also changed the dating scene.

Until a few decades ago, a stereotypical role for women in a Western society was to take care of the home and rearing of any offspring, while the men went out and worked.

Because of this, most women had no source of income and depended entirely on men for their means and survival, which created a definite need for marriage to exist and to work.

Fast forward to 2007 and women are working in powerful positions in society, which often require traditionally masculine behaviours and psychology:

- Leadership of others.
- Assertiveness.
- Decisions based on logic, rather than feelings.
- Direct communication.

TV shows like Sex and they City have done an excellent job of characterizing a new generation of women who:

- Often don’t need the financial support of a man to survive.
- Can spend large amounts of money on a new dress or shoes.
- Can succeed in high-profile positions that were previously dominated by men.
- Have their own life and dreams.
- Put of getting married and ’settling down’.
- Get in and out of dating relationships; often into their late 30s and 40s.

If a man turns on the radio these days, he might also hear this new generation of women singing about how he is no longer necessary to their survival.

Ouch!

Song lyrics released into the airwaves in 2006, from artists such as the Pussycat Dolls and Beyonce Knowles demonstrate this very well.

Pussycat Dolls:

“I don’t need a ring around my finger to make me feel complete…you know I got my own life…and I bought everything that’s in it.”

Beyonce Knowles:

“You must not know about me. I can have another you in a minute. So don’t you ever for a second get to thinking you’re irreplaceable.”

If that’s not enough to set off an alarm in the male psyche, the latest information released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics provide proof of the changes on a much larger scale:

- 1/3 of all marriages now end within five years.
- In 1976, marriage rates for the entire population were 63 in every 1,000 men and 61 in every 1,000 women. By 2001, this had declined to 31 and 28 respectively.

Not surprisingly, men - after having complete control of the reign for millions of years - are a little intimidated by all of these changes.

In addition to being intimidated by these changes, men are also increasingly unsure about how to behave around modern women in social situations.

One of the main reasons has been the prevalence of socially masculine behaviour by women. To illustrate the point, here is an example of masculine behaviour in action:

If a group of friends are sitting together at a cafe and one of the women wants to leave, she will traditionally structure her language in a feminine, indirect way to avoid taking on leadership of the men and women.

“Guys, I’m getting bored of this place.”

She will then usually wait for someone to respond with a suggestion that they leave the cafe. However, a man in the group will traditionally structure his language in a more direct, masculine way.

“Okay, let’s finish our coffees and head off. I’m bored of this place now.”

I use the word ‘traditionally’, because it’s now becoming very common for women to communicate in a direct, masculine way in social situations.

As mentioned at the start of this article, the fact that women have become more masculine in their behaviour and psychology has brought tremendous advancements to our society as a whole.

It’s not a bad thing at all.

But it can be for women, when it comes to the dating scene.

A consistent complaint from modern women is that they are rarely approached by men these days. To quote some of the women spoken to during the research:

“If a guy does work up the nerve to approach, he will usually be really intimidated by me anyway…and that’s such a turn off.”

“There must be something wrong with me, because men hardly approach me.”

“I am a confident girl - and yes, I’m assertive…I just need a man who is more confident than me.”

1 If you fall into the category where you just have to have the new dress in the boutique window, fine, but cutback on other unnecessary necessities which you see as necessary. Before splashing the cash on a designer label frock check other department stores, you may bet the exact design of dress is in stock at half the price minus the designer tag. Why pay through the nose for a label that is more often than not hidden or cut off. Never use store cards because high interest rates will have that dress double in price. Avoid extra costs by asking a friend or family member for a loan to make the purchase. Set a limit to what you spend on a day out shopping and only take that fixed amount, this way you can not overspend.

Leave credit cards at home; if you can not afford to pay cash then you can not afford it all. Great savings can be made if you make the clothing your self. Fashion magazines have fabulous ideas and include valuable advice on how to dress to impress. Dressmaking is not as difficult as you think, you will be surprised how easy it is and not forgetting the sense of achievement in wearing one of your own creations that did not cost an arm and a leg. If you want to spend your money wisely then a needle and cotton along with dress making patterns will keep you in with fashion.

2 Before following the fashion of Beyonce Knowles or Victoria Beckham, “think hard”, why would you want to copy another persons dress code, this will only have you recognized as a duplicated body. By all means take some of their ideas and use them to make them your own and by doing this it becomes unique and original. What you have to remember when copying behaviours of others is we all differ in shape and size. Take Posh Spice’s Olive Oil’s skeletal frame for an example, would you get away with wearing tight slacks and a mid waist belly hugging blouse if your frame be like that of Bessie Bunter. If you like their style regardless of your size then cut back on certain issues that connects you directly to them, like their hairstyle or where they place a beauty spot on their face. If you like the fact of duplication then you should consider shape and size first, meaning, if you carry weight then the mid waist belly hugging blouse needs to show less belly and the tight slacks slackened if you get my drift.

3 Trendy outfits will always be easier found in the high street boutique size range of 8 10 12. However there are many outlet stores that cater for the larger woman. Although this is true it can be difficult at times for overweight women. Most fashion items of recent design are designed purely for the woman of a petite frame. Why not make it easier on yourself and slim down. Shedding the pounds can be rewarding and result in you becoming a fashion icon in your own right. Not only will you be able to wear what millions of other women are wearing - you will feel a lot healthier tool. All you need is determination to lose weight. Cutting down on fatty foods and sweet stuff along with light exercise will get you in shape. Notice I said cut down and not cut out, so treats can still be eaten in your quest to fit into that figure hugging dress, because you now have a figure.

3 If you are bound by restrictions where you avoid eating meals to slim down, then this is not healthy at all, in fact it is very dangerous indeed and you should consult your doctor about your problem. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are two common conditions in young girls. Sadly the girls affected with these diseases see them self as fat when this is not true. No matter what you say or do to help the patient, the advice given will go in one ear and out the other. It is important if you are the guardian of or the victim of an eating disorder is for that person to get help immediately.

Other than being a singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director, actress and dancer, Beyoncé Knowles is also known as a fashion designer. The house of dereon was founded and inspired by the three generation of Knowles, Beyoncé Knowles, Tina Knowles and Agnèz dereon.

The house of dereon style and concept is inspired by three generations of women in their family, with the name “dereon” paying tribute to Beyoncé’s grandmother, Agnèz Deréon. House of dereon was announced to the media in September on the year of 2004, by Tina and Beyoncé Knowles.

While Beyoncé was still performing in the group Destiny’s Child, her mother Tina would design outfits, especially when the group was first starting out and did not have much money or access to designer clothing lines. Part of what called attention to Destiny’s Child, besides their obvious talent, was their unique fashions.

The house of dereon style set them apart, yet gave the group cohesion as a similar style, color or garment was worn by all the members. The house of dereon was first introduced on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and on The Tyra Banks Show.

In an interview with Beyoncé on the Ebony Magazine, she said “I love the clothes from the ’70s, my mother’s clothes. I love clothes from the ’40s, my grandmother’s style, so elegant. We wanted to take elements from my grandmother’s legacy–the beaded lace, lush colors, fine fabrics–and mix them with clothes from my mother’s generation and my generation”. The house of dereon mixes hip-hop influences, such as its use of denim, with ultra feminine flourishes like embroidery and ruffles.

And because of this, the house of dereon has claimed the top spot when it comes to fashion clothing. If you want to know more about house of dereon, then visit www.streetzwear.com.
