Prom

Paris Hilton's newest single "Come Alive" finally came out on July 15, 2014, and we're loving it! The song is so much fun, and the video is so whimsical, with Paris frolicking in an open field, hanging out on a cloud, swinging on a swing full of beautiful flowers...and there's even a unicorn and a rainbow! Check out the video here:

We love the chorus and overall message:

"You make me smile, you make me dream, you make me feel alive. You make me dance, you make me feel, you make me come to life, you make me come alive, you make me feel alive."

Who wouldn't want to be with someone who made you feel that way?? And of course, Paris looks as gorgeous as ever with her diamond encrusted nails and flower filled hair. There's one other reason we're digging Paris' look, though: did you catch her wearing one of our favorite dress designers in the video? She rocked Mac Duggal style 3908A in the part of the video where she's with the unicorn!

Mac Duggal 3908A is a fully sequined, high fashion gown with an open back that looked absolutely fabulous on Paris! The sequins on this gown had Paris sparkling perfectly within her video, and really helped her "come alive!" The whole scene with her in the sparkly Mac Duggal gown, with the unicorn and rainbow in the background looked like something out of a dream!

While the color that Paris wore in the video is no longer available, Mac Duggal 3908A is also available in a show-stopping Peacock color, which you can see above. It's definitely the perfect way to feel like a celebrity at Prom or your next formal event!

Prom 2014 may be over, but we still have so many more prom testimonials to share with you from our Roo Girls! The latest is from sisters Kiara and Kiana Chiles. Their mom recently sent us a prom picture of them together both wearing their Rissy Roo's prom dresses, and they look fabulous!

Alicia, their mom, said:

"Thank you Rissy Roo's for the great service and the beautiful dresses!"

And, here are the two girls, looking so gorgeous:

Both girls are wearing Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner dresses. Kiara (left) is wearing Sticks & Stones by Mori Lee 9199, a short strapless ombre tulle cocktail dress with beading and a corset back. Kiana (right) is wearing Sticks & Stones by Mori Lee 9253, a strapless party dress with beautiful ombre beading on the bodice, corset back, and a short tulle shirt.

Both of these dresses are such fun looks, and Kiara and Kiana rocked them so well! While these girls wore their short Mori Lee dresses to Prom, these two looks are versatile enough to also rock at Homecoming, or even for a Sweet 16 birthday party.

Thank you, Alicia, for sending us the picture! We're glad that Kiara and Kiana had such a wonderful time at their Prom!

Prom Season may be over, but we have so many more prom dress testimonials to share with you to keep the dream (and now reality) alive! This week, we heard from Alex Fritz and his mom, Dina, about the prom dress that was purchased from Rissy Roo's or Alex's girlfriend, Kassy Delossantos. Both Alex and Dina had such nice words to share with us about Kassy's dress and their wonderful prom night! Check out what they had to say below:

"Kassy Delossantos' dress was beautiful. She looked stunning. Perfect dress for an amazing young lady."

-Dina Fritz

"Thank you for the perfect dress for my amazing girlfriend :-) <3"

-Alex Fritz

Kassy sure did look stunning in her Rissy Roo's prom dress! And, we loved Alex's white suit and matching green tie - what a stylish couple! To get Kassy's look, go for Sherri Hill style 9713. This fun and flirty high low dress is perfect for dancing the night away! The dress features a high lace neckline, beaded straps and waistline, lace bodice, and a soft flowy chiffon skirt. We love the stunning open back on this dress! Other than green, it also comes in coral and ivory.

Kassy's silver headband was a great way to add some sparkle to her look, and matched the dress' sparkly waistband perfectly. Such a stand-out accessory!

If you're a Roo Girl, make sure to send us your pictures from Prom 2014 this year! We love seeing all of our girls dressed up in the prom dresses that they picked!

Last year, Roo Girl Tahrea Sherman wrote us such a nice message saying that she loved her prom dress. Well, we were so happy to hear from her again this year, after attending Prom 2014 in her Rissy Roo's dress! If you read her testimonial last year, you'd know that she loves the color pink just as much as we do at Rissy Roo's. A year later, she's still all about being Pretty in Pink, because she rocked the color again for this year's prom! She chose the Fabulouss by Mac Duggal style 76629F sequin halter gown in Neon Pink for her prom dress.

Here's the sweet note that Tahrea shared along with her picture:

Thank you Rissy Roo's for a beautiful dress two years in a row!

The dazzling pink prom dress that Tahrea chose is made to feel like a queen in, and we can tell that she did! The dress has a halter neckline and is full of beautiful stone detail that looked so perfect on Tahrea.

Thank you, Tahrea, for sending us your prom pictures again! We're so glad you had yet another perfect prom year! Pretty in Pink two years in a row!

Stay tuned for more prom dress testimonials from our Roo Girls!

It just so happens that one of our fave world-renowned prom and evening wear designers, Sherri Hill lit up the stage with a runway show at this extravagant event!

Sherri Hill is no newbie to the fashion show game. After working with now competitor Jovani Fashions for 8 years, Sherri Hill started her own line in 2008.

We've had so many of our Roo Girls send in picture of them in their Rissy Roo's dress at prom...and we've been so amazed at the pictures each and every time! One of the most recent pictures we received was so super...because it involved superhero Captain America! Check out Katlyn Mariah Rice below with her date, John Thomas Rayborn, both matching perfectly in blue...and John showing off his Captain America alter ego underneath his shirt!

 That's not the only reason Katlyn's and John's outfits are superhero style, though. When Katlyn's mom, Heather, shared the pictures with us, she told us that the two high schoolers attended two proms in one night! Here's what Heather said:

"My daughter's Senior Prom! The dress was PERFECT!! This dress was perfect for not one but two proms on the same night!!! Thanks Rissy Roo's for a wonderful experience!"

- Heather Sullivan Rice

We can't believe that Katyln and John attended two proms in one night - they must have had such an amazing time together! Katlyn looked so stunning wearing Blush Prom style 9771. Dramatic shiny circular stones in a geometric pattern accentuate the one-shoulder and highlight the waist on this stunning prom dress. While you can't see it in Katlyn's pictures, the backstraps form a beautiful open back. The royal blue color of the dress makes for the perfect outfit for Captain America's girlfriend!

Katlyn and John's prom day was a superhero prom all around...from the Captain America shirt, to attending two proms in one night! We also thought the white roses were the perfect Captain America and girlfriend accessory. We love the trend of guys wearing superhero tee shirts under their prom suits. It's such a creative way to show off your personality...and have so much fun with prom pictures, of course! What do you think of it? Leave us a comment below and let us know!

Celebrity promposals are all the rage lately, and yet another celeb delivers on an night to remember for one lucky prom-goer: Shaun White! High schooler Carly Monzo came up with such a creative idea to ask the Olympian and pro snowboarder to prom: by using a staple in the snowboarding industry, a GoPro! Carly smartly even named her promposal after the camera, with the name GoProm. So cute!

You can watch an overview of the promposal here:

http://youtu.be/_Wzajq741yE

We were so happy to hear that Shaun White took time out if his busy schedule to surprise Carly at her prom! ABC had the scoop, and this is what they said:

"A month ago, the Montgomery County senior at Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Flourtown, and her friends got creative.

Monzo posted a video proposal online but got no response from the busy pro snowboarder, skateboarder and musician until Friday night.

A couple hours into her prom at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club, there was a special performance.

"Curtains drop and the band just starts jamming and I was like, 'Oh my goodness," said Monzo.

White appeared on stage in his tux and with his band, Bad Things. They performed three songs and invited Monzo on stage.

"To be honest with you if there wasn't pictures or video evidence, I would have thought I had a dream," she said.

The Olympian lit up social media, snapping photos with dozens of students before revealing how he made a secret trip from Austria just to surprise Monzo.

"It was really about being there with my friends, my whole entire grade got to share this moment with me and it was so awesome," she said."

We were so excited this week to see a promposal...right in the parking lot of our store at Rissy Roo's in Linwood, NJ! Highschooler Tyler had the creative idea to make his date's car into her prom proposal by using car paint to write the promposal on her windshield. The promposal said:

"Will you go to Prom with me?

--  Yes!  --  No  --  (Choose 1)  -- Love, Tyler."

We especially loved all of the cute hearts that were drawn all around the windshielf! The lucky date clearly said YES, since the "Yes!" was circled on the car, and she's now already at Rissy Roo's picking out a dress!

If you're still trying to find a cute way to ask your date to prom (whether you're the guy or the girl), this is a really easy and fun way to do it. It will definitely help to keep any feeling of pressure or anxiety to a minimum! Plus, once the date says "yes," they'll get to show off the promposal to all of their friends for weeks to come, which is always fun. If you want other great prom proposal ideas, just search for keyword "promposal" on our blog, or click here for our promposal blog posts (there's even promposals with celebs Bryan Cranston, Miley Cyrus, and Dwyane Wade!). And, of course, if you're still searching for that perfect prom dress, get searching on RissyRoos.com - it's not too late, and we're definitely here to help!

Congrats on getting your date with your promposal car idea, Tyler! We hope you two have an amazing time at Prom this year!
