Shopping For Women
This shopping centre had some decidedly under-dressed shoppers at the weekend... as hordes of underwear-clad women competed to win £100 gift vouchers.
Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex gave the prizes to the first 100 women to turn up on Sunday morning in nothing but their bra, panties and high heels.
After getting the gift card the girls who had dared to bare were then encouraged to hit the shops and buy themselves a new outfit.
However, while women had already got a pair of hight heels on, a surprisingly high number of them headed straight for the shoe shops… which must have made their walk home interesting.
Kylie Minor, from Lakeside Shopping Centre said: "We loved seeing all our luscious ladies looking gorgeous in their underwear and heels and I’m sure they all enjoyed choosing an outfit from our wide range of new spring fashion in the stores afterwards."

Cheese Shoes Created By Fromage Design Students
Fashion students have got the whiff of success after creating a range of cheese couture... including these suitably cheesy shoes.
The cheese-based fashion has been crafted by students from Bath Spa University to promote regional produce and will go on show at the Royal Bath and West Show.
Lisa Dillon made these "Jimmy Cheese" shoes using West Country cheddar and bread, sculpting the heel from a block of Cheddar and using a stale cheese sandwich for part of the platform sole.
The front was then moulded from more Cheddar and extra melted cheese was shaped to embellish the design… we think they really take the biscuit… but you might think they stink.
The fashionistas have also made other accessories such as hats, belts and ties out of cheese and cheese wrappers.
Textile Design for Fashion and Interiors course leader Amanda Goode, said of the students: "They have risen to the challenge and really pushed the boat out, experimenting with the cheese and coming up with some fabulous ideas which only youth could think of."

Cat Fashion Show at the famous Algonquin Hotel cat, celebrated her 15th birthday—and we were there for total coverage. The party was held in the hotel's lobby and centered around a good ol' fashioned Cat Fashion Show—because what better way to celebrate than by making your feline friends dress up in ridiculous outfits and parade in front of humans? John Fulton, the host of Animal Planet’s new upcoming show Must Love Cats was on hand as the host—the show has been filming around the city all week for a NYC episode! When asked what his favorite costume was, Fulton told us, "Diva, the 4 month old rag doll, brought the crowd to a frenzy."
Our photographer Katie Sokoler pretty much sums up the scene, saying, "I felt emotionally confused the whole time because I thought the show was hilarious but at the same time I felt bad! Some of the cats were so nervous when they came out because the audience was popping camera flashes in their faces and screaming to the cats in baby talk." She also noted that the dressing room was equipped with a CD called "Relaxation music for my cat and me," so hopefully that helped them out.
At least one cat looked relaxed—the Savannah cat dressed as Elvis. Interesting tidbit: did you know Savannahs more than five generations from the Serval are allowed to be owned in New York state, but not in the city of New York?

"Miss Chubby" beauty contest in Italy has chosen a full-figured Fat woman as new Miss Cicciona 2010 pictures , proud of her ample body weighing in at a hefty 170 kilos (375 pounds).
Angela Scognamiglio said she was "very moved" when she was named Saturday night as the new "Miss Chubby" at the complex-free contest held in the Tuscany village of Forcoli, near the city of Pisa.
"I am very moved, I feel as if I've won the lottery," the 33-year-old from Naples said after beating out 30 other contestants for the title.
As in all past 20 editions of the pageant, there is only one condition for entry: you have to weigh more than 100 kilograms, or 15 and a half stone.
Contestants paraded before an audience of 2,500 at a local hotel on Saturday night, wearing gowns, or for those who cared to show more, undergarments. Some even dared a little glamour striptease.
But the crucial moment in the contest was the weigh-in, stepping onto a huge red scale where everyone could see the result -- with the roundest beauty clinching the title.
No big prize for the winner, just a huge cake to share around, and perhaps for all the contestants a boost in self-esteem in contrast to the mockery many obese face.
"When we get on a bus, people nudge each other, and whisper, making fun of us, and it's the same on the beach," said redheaded Marilena Amato.
"We are the victims of severe discrimination, it's as if we are second class citizens," said another contestant, Antonia Bartolo, a 37-year-old nurse from the Milan region.
The contest is also about "entertainment, a chance to get to know people who face the same problems I do," she added.
The contest's founder, Gianfranco Lazzereschi, says the event showcases other types of beauty in women.
"It is a showcase for full figures," he said, flanked by two contestants, "Why can't these two women show off? Why is it necessary to follow the dictates of what's beautiful?"
The full-figure pageant, says the founder, is a way to send a different message about beauty.

The Flylashes are actually quite an odd alternative to fake eyelashes. Artist Jessica Harrison takes dead flys legs and attaches them onto the eye for what are aptly called ‘flylashes.’
The inventive looking false eyelashes are sort of on the grosser side of beauty. The crooked and bent lashes are glued onto the eye and are meant to look like luscious eyelashes. They’re definitely interesting.
