I LOVE Gabourey...I love that she is so herself and is not allowing Hollywood to make her feel less than...those are Hollywood's bs standards, not hers, and it's very refreshing!

Check her out here hitting on Gerald Butler...she's right, he's yummy...I'd hit that too...

And what did you guys think about her dress?  I'm not a huge fan of navy, but this dress fit her beautifully. If I had it my way, it would have been in a hotter/brighter color, but she still looks fab. What do you guys think?

So I came up with a simple concept...7 of our BEST customers, all different ages, sizes, and experiences to show how they make the convertible dress work for them.

You will look at these BEFORE and AFTERS and think these are camera tricks, 4 pairs of Spanx on each woman, or photoshop, but believe me when I tell you, it was simple, the women in all their fabulousness, the AMAZING "Marilyn" Convertible Dress, simple makeup, a "juge" of their hair, our awesome photog Krista, music, and it was lights, camera, action!

You too can be TRANSFORMED through this convertible dress when you make it your own!

I am Monif C., You are Monif C.

In the meantime, I was looking at some New York Fashion Week coverage and feel in LOURVE with these Christian Soriano for Payless shoes.  I hope once they get to the store, they still look like this...I'll be dropping some $$$ at Payless if that's the case!
