Can beauty pageant contestants really be so mean? On Saturday night in West Palm Beach, smack in the middle of the Miss South Florida Fair pageant, someone ruined a $3,400 dress belonging to Jessica Wittenbrink, 21, with red lipstick. The red streaks on Jessica Wittenbrink’s gown were discovered backstage during the Miss South Florida Fair pageant on Saturday night. Pageant organizers and Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies met with the 13 contestants, but deputies say there’s not enough “conclusive evidence” to name a suspect. It wasn’t clear if the lipstick was sabotage or random vandalism by someone unrelated to the pageant.
The lipstick streaks failed to hold Wittenbrink back, however. The contestant not only wore the marred dress during the pageant, but also ultimately scored the Miss South Florida Fair crown. Read more of Lipstick Streaks on Beauty Queen Gown

Target, the megastore that brought Proenza Schouler to the people is expanding its reach this week with the first “model-less” fashion show (that will, of course, be open to the public). Instead of real models or clothing, the retailer will stage the fashion show using holograms — two-dimensional moving images that give the illusion of having three dimensions.
New York’s Grand Central Terminal will serve as the backdrop to a virtual runway presentation, using high-def holograms to showcase clothes and accessories from Isaac Mizrahi, Keanan Duffty, Erin Fetherston, and more. The holograms will be projected on Tuesday and Wednesday, repeated every 10 minutes from noon to midnight the first day and 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. the second day. To widen the audience, Target plans to post a video of the show on YouTube, Facebook and Target’s own Web site. Read more of Target Presents First Model-Less Multimedia Fashion Show
