Wonderful Whitney: Remembering Whitney Houston
My blog today is a bit of a diversion from the norm. But I want to share with you my personal recollections of Whitney Houston. The news of her untimely passing has shocked us all, and I am just heartbroken when I think about the young Whitney I knew before she became Whitney Houston, the Superstar.
I had the pleasure of working with Whitney during her high school years when she was a teen model. I was a fashion editor at Seventeen magazine and then Fashion Director at YM. She was a delightful, sweet, wonderful person, and all of us who worked with her loved her. She was truly beautiful inside and out. Anytime we were booking models for a photo shoot, we would always say, “Let’s book Whitney” “See if Whitney is available” “Whitney would be great for this story.” She was never a diva and she was always professional. She showed up on time and made our jobs easier by doing her best in front of the camera. She never complained if days ran long and cheerfully did whatever was expected.
When deciding the look for your bridesmaids, consider body types! If one maid is voluptuous, another's full-chested, and yet another is tiny and petite, you can't dress them all into something cleavage-revealing. Consider choosing a color that is flattering to all the different skin tones of your bridesmaids and letting them choose a flattering silhouette in that color. You want an overall theme and aesthetic flow, so it might be good to state whether the dresses should be long and formal or short and sweet. The real differences can be in the necklines and skirt shapes.
