Costume jewelry is also called “Fashion Jewelry” as it is used mainly for the purpose of fashions. Everything that glitters is not made of gold. Costume jewelry is that which is made of less valuable materials like plastic, base metals, synthetic stones and glass. Basically, in jewelry expensive materials like gems, metals are used but in costume jewelry expensive materials are replaced by the inexpensive materials.
It is an asset for those who use jewelry for fashion purposes. It is so called “costume jewelry” because it is used frequently for stage costume.
Gold over silver and silver over brass are the best combinations. Crystals are also having their own importance in the fashion jewelry. Ivory is mostly used in the preparation of jewelry for men. Acrylic and plastic are involved in the manufacturing of low value jewelry. Most of the products of costume jewelry are handcrafted.
Bracelets, Rings, chains, earrings, necklaces and pendants are most renowned items of costume jewelry. Gems like amber, aquamarine, and garnet, opal, freshwater pearl and amethyst are used in crafting of costume jewelry.
However, care should be taken of the costume jewelry to preserve the shiny appearance of it. You must wipe out the costume jewelry with a soft cloth since its shininess will be lost due to the sweat produced by the body. They must be preserved in smooth pouches and velvet boxes so that they may not become dull and its originality remains same. Dipping this jewelry in some strong solutions may disturb the glowing outlook of the jewelry. It may alter the color of stones on it and sprays, perfumes must be used before the wearing of this costume jewelry. They need some periodical maintenance like they should be rewashed in gold or silver. Dull gems in the costume jewelry are replaced by brighter and new gems to get brighter look.

Date of Birth - 4 September 1981, Houston, Texas, USA
Birth Name - Beyoncé Giselle Knowles
Nickname - JuJu, Mothe, Bee
Height - 5' 7" (1.70 m)
Spouse- Jay-Z (4 April 2008 - present)
Trade Mark - Big, heavy earrings, Skimpy clothes
With stunning looks, a glamorous style and pop-star status, it was inevitable that this diva would eventually try her hand at acting. And while she's fared better than Mariah Carey, it remains to be seen whether Knowles can actually act or just act sassy. After topping the charts as part of the award-winning R&B trio Destiny's Child, she struck out on her own and scored a string of solo hits, often collaborating with rapper boyfriend Jay-Z. She made her acting debut on the small screen in Carmen: A Hip Hopera and quickly moved on to features with spirited turns in the comedies Austin Powers in Goldmember and The Pink Panther. But the diamond in her tiara was winning the lead in the highly anticipated film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, which earned her a Golden Globe nod.
The central figure for R&B group Destiny's Child, Beyonce was the talent behind such smash hits as "Say My Name," "No, No, No" and "Independent Women." Venturing out on her own, it was no surprise that her debut solo album, 2003's Dangerously In Love, garnered her five Grammy Awards in a single night. She released her sophomore solo album, B'Day,in 2006, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, in November of 2008. Of course, Beyonce also acts; you can see her foxy self in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), The Fighting Temptations (2003), The Pink Panther (2006), Dreamgirls (2006), Cadillac Records (2008), and Obsessed (2009).
On October 20, 2010, rumors began circulating on the internet that Beyonce is now pregnant with her first child with husband Jay-Z, who she married on Apirl 4, 2008.

Born on September 4, 1981, to a loving family in Houston, Texas, Beyonce Giselle Knowles showed an aptitude for music before she could even talk. As a young girl, she would drown out everyone, including the choir, on Sundays at church. Every weekend, she tuned her voice by doing soulful hymns with the congregation and then moved on to opera classes, in which she was classically trained.
beyonce in destiny's child
A normal childhood was not in the books for Beyonce. At 8 years old, she met LaTavia Robertson while auditioning for a girl musical group and Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's manager and father, later paired the two with LeToya Luckett. In 1992, cousin Kelly Rowland joined the group, and they performed together on Star Search.
Small gigs and much label-shopping later, the four beauties cemented their relationship by calling themselves Destiny's Child. In 1997, "No, No, No" became their first official single, and they got off to a big start as the track went multiplatinum. The girls were instantly popular in the media and impressed all with their self-titled debut.
This goddess possesses almost every great feature imaginable; one can stare awestruck at her angelic face, dangerously curvaceous body, booty that goes on for days, and her long, shapely legs. Greatest of all is that Beyonce knows how to work it, wearing clothing that complements her curves and dancing in her videos as if she knew just what men wanted to see. In the past she has said: ''I'm very conscious of being a curvy woman, and I’m very happy that I am a curvy woman.'' That's what we like to hear. Read More .... >>>

Like her work in Destiny's Child, Beyonce wrote or cowrote many of the tracks and performed her heart out on award shows to get the word out to a huge audience. She has emerged as a diva, making the best videos, catchiest songs and creating the most headlines. At 2004's Grammy ceremony, Beyonce took away five awards and was the biggest winner of the night (a feat Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys and Norah Jones each accomplished in previous years). It was also during this time that Beyonce become involved with her "Crazy In Love" duet partner, Jay-Z.
In 2006, Beyonce hit the big screen again in The Pink Panther with comedic icon Steve Martin. The movie debuted at No. 1 on its opening weekend, and further solidified Beyonce as a double threat in the industry.

Beyonce Knowles
Wallpapers & Mini Biography
Beyonce is absolutely mesmerizing and, thankfully, loves to show it all off in the naughtiest of costumes. We love that in a relatively short time, she has become an icon: Releasing numerous hit songs, acting in big-time films and being ever-present in the media and on stage. She is certainly an influential powerhouse in her own right.
Unlike other pop stars, Beyonce maintains credibility with a great set of pipes and original songwriting. Her crossover into acting has shown promise and ensures that her time in the spotlight will not be short. This is a good sign, seeing as our Beyonce dreams have become all too frequent nowadays.
Her Quotes---
"There are certain things that are kind of obvious, and if you start talking, the questions will never stop. I think there’s more to life than sharing it with everyone... At school, if I dated someone, I didn’t tell everyone. I feel like if everyone knows my stuff, it’ll take the beauty and pureness out of it."
"I'd done a couple of sitcoms earlier on, but I wasn't very good in them, so I thought that meant I couldn't act."
"The great thing about McDonald's is that they have a lot of different things on the menu. I love their salads."
"You know what, I'm very attracted to someone who makes me laugh and is that charming. Really, I could be charmed by anyone. I'm just a sucker for somebody that is charming."
"I grew up in a very nice house in Houston, went to private school all my life and I've never even been to the 'hood. Not that there's anything wrong with the 'hood"

Toms Shoes
Tom’s shoes was founded in 2006 when an American travelling to Argentina observed the plight of the local children who would walk long distances and go about their everyday working to help provide for their families without a pair of shoes on their feet. Their feet were tattered by the elements, blistered, bloody, and infected or at the very least at a high risk for infection. It’s easy to turn a blind eye when the problems of the world aren’t literally staring you in your face; but when you see it right outside your front door you can no longer pretend that these people aren’t alone; and need help and that’s what this American (whose name is Blake Mycoskie) did. He made a commitment to himself and those in need to create a cost efficient shoe that for every pair of shoes he sold, he’d give a pair away to a child in Argentina. Blake Mycoskie became a social entrepreneur overnight because he like all of us had a responsibility to make a difference when we can.

Avril Lavigne's first single, "Complicated," was released in the early spring of 2002, and immediately began scaling the charts across the continent. By the summer, the track had reached the top spot among Canadian singles, and was in the top 15 on the Billboard Adult 40 list. The popularity of "Complicated" paved the way for the success of Avril's first full-length CD, Let Go, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard charts in June 2002. She received eight Grammy nods and won four Juno Awards for the album.
While Avril Lavigne's vocal range and high-energy musical style has brought her comparisons ranging from Alanis Morissette to Pink, she has been adamant in positioning herself as a unique artist, one who runs counter to the mainstream. This persona has been nurtured thanks to the lyrics of such songs as "Sk8er Boi," wherein Avril Lavigne is none too subtle in voicing her anti-conformist stance, and through her public remarks regarding other female musicians, notably Britney Spears.
Her Quote :
"I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think." Read More ...>>>

Wallpapers & Mini Biography

From early childhood onward, Avril Lavigne always stood out among the 5,000 residents of Napanee, Ontario -- her 1984 birthplace. At first distinguished from her female peers because of her affinity for the baseball field in the summer and the hockey rink in the winter, Avril became recognizable in the community on the basis of her musical performances.
By age 10, she had graduated from the local church choir to the regional fairgrounds, singing country music in competitions. Three years later, Avril Lavigne began making her impact outside of Napanee, as her vocal skill won her the grand prize in a radio station contest: a trip to the city of Ottawa, to perform a duet in concert with another Ontario native, country music star Shania Twain. While this probably ranked as the pinnacle of pubescence for any other 13-year-old girl, Avril Lavigne went on to accomplish far greater things before leaving adolescence. By the time Avril Lavigne reached high school, her vocal prowess seemed rivaled only by her ability to play the guitar, and she began sending videotapes of her stage performances to labels and management companies throughout North America. Following a host of rejections, her talent finally caught the eyes of Nettwerk Management, an organization that fostered other such Canadian acts as Sarah McLachlan, Sum 41 and the Barenaked Ladies.
Her Quote :
"When I was 2 my mom said she knew I was going to be a singer. I've been performing ever since I was a young kid. So I've known I wanted to do this for awhile. I always knew in my heart that I'd be singing." Read More ...>>>
