girl next door beauty routine

The cultural and sexual stereotype of the girl next door or the All-American girl is invoked in American contexts to indicate wholesome,

unassuming femininity, as opposed to the culture's other female stereotypes such as the tomboy, the valley girl, the femme fatale, girly girl, or the slut.

The male equivalent is the "women next door". Both gender examples of the "Next Door" archetype are quintessentially addressed with Thornton Wilder's Our Town

in the characters of Emily Webb and George Gibbs or in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer series within

the characters of Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher.

Cheerleaders bringing in cash for NFL teams

This year’s Super Bowl features the Green Bay Packers against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But there will be no cheerleaders. The Packers and the Steelers are just two of six teams (along with the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears) that don’t field a pom-pom waving squad.

Although their seasons are over, cheerleaders are an important part of the NFL off-season for the 26 teams that do have them. Why? Because, when executed well, they provide endless clicks for Web surfing fans and additional revenue in appearances (teams usually charge between $100 and $500 per hour per cheerleader) and swimsuit calendar revenue.

In fact, with plenty of women to audition and money to be had (most cheerleaders make less than $100 a game), the number of cheerleaders has increased exponentially in recent years.

In 2010, 15 teams each dressed more than 30 cheerleaders for games and have found ways, especially online, to generate revenue from their top squads. However, as valuations go, NFL teams are hesitant to put a dollar figure on their cheerleading squads, but the use of these cheerleaders as a vehicle for marketing is certainly in the public eye.

You probably expected to find the Dallas Cowboys on the top of this list, but no team has a more extensive of a library of cheerleader photos than the Indianapolis Colts. You can sort through over 2,000 shots that not only can be looked at, but also ordered. No other team in the league allows fans to do that.

The Colts are also the only team in the league to post a photo gallery of some of the favorites to join the squad next season. Fans can look at 65 candidates for the team and vote for who they think should join the team next.

Here is the ranking of the top teams that take the most monetary advantage of their cheerleaders.

The 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world

Time 100 is an annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, as assembled by Time. First published in 1999 as a result of a debate among several academics, the list has become an annual event. The list was started with a debate at a symposium at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center on February 1, 1998 with panel participants CBS news anchor Dan Rather, historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, former New York governor Mario Cuomo, then-political science professor Condoleezza Rice, neoconservative publisher Irving Kristol and Time managing editor Walter Isaacson.

The list was first published in 1999, when Time magazine named the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. Based on the popularity of the installment, in 2004 Time magazine decided to make it an annual issue, listing the 100 people most influencing the world. Making the list is frequently mistaken as an honor; however, Time makes it very clear that people are recognized for changing the world, for better or for worse. Those recognized fall in one of five categories: Leaders & Revolutionaries, Builders & Titans, Artists & Entertainers, Scientists & Thinkers, and Heroes & Icons. Within each category, the 20 most influential people (sometimes pairs or small groups) are selected, for a grand total of 100 each year.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American pop singer-songwriter. She began performing in the rock music scene of New York City's Lower East Side in 2003 and enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. She soon signed with Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. During her early time at Interscope, she worked as a songwriter for fellow label artists and captured the attention of Akon, who recognized her vocal abilities, and signed her to his own label, Kon Live Distribution.

Gaga came to prominence following the release of her debut studio album The Fame (2008), which was a commercial success and achieved international popularity with the singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". The album reached number one on the record charts of six countries, accomplished positions within the top-ten worldwide, and topped the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart while simultaneously peaking at number two on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. Achieving similar worldwide success, the follow-up EP The Fame Monster (2009), produced a further two global chart-topping singles "Bad Romance" and "Telephone" and allowed her to embark on a second global headlining concert tour, The Monster Ball Tour, just months after having finished her first, The Fame Ball Tour. Her second studio album, Born This Way, is scheduled for release in 2011.

Inspired by glam rock artists like David Bowie and Queen, as well as pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson, Gaga is well-recognized for her outré sense of style as a recording artist, in fashion, in performance and in her music videos. Her contributions to the music industry have garnered her numerous achievements including two Grammy Awards, amongst twelve nominations; two Guinness World Records; and the estimated sale of fifteen million albums and fifty-one million singles worldwide. Billboard named her as the Artist of the Year in 2010[6] and ranked her as the 73rd Artist of the 2000s decade. Gaga has been included in Time magazine's annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world as well as Forbes' list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world. Forbes also placed her at number seven on their annual list of the World's 100 Most Powerful Women.

She is married to Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić.

Lima never thought about being a model, although she had won many beauty pageants in elementary school. However, Adriana Lima had a friend at school who wanted to enter a modeling contest and did not want to enter alone, so Lima entered with her. Both sent in pictures, and the contest sponsor soon asked Lima to come out for the competition.

Britain's Next Top Model

Britain's Next Top Model (often shortened to BNTM or Top Model) is a British reality television show in which a number of women compete for the title of Britain's Next Top Model and a chance to start their career in the modelling industry.

As part of Top Model franchise, it is based on the hit American TV show America's Next Top Model, and it shares the same format. On 1 February 2010 it was announced that Elle MacPherson on taking duties as host and head judge.

The series features a group of young female contestants who live together in a house for several weeks while taking part in challenges, photo shoots and meetings with members of the modelling industry. Normally, one poor-performing contestant is eliminated each week until the last contestant remaining is declared "Britain's Next Top Model" and receives a modelling contract and other prizes.

In a recent BBC interview MacPherson contrasted the show with the US version, describing BNTM as "Uniquely British, the sense of humour and the styling is very British... more hybrid backgrounds... and I think that is really examplatory [sic] of what's going on in the UK today".

Each series of Britain's Next Top Model has from ten to twelve episodes and starts with twelve to fourteen contestants (twenty in Cycle 5 and 25 in Cycle 6). Each episode, one contestant is eliminated, though in rare cases a double elimination or no elimination was given by consensus of the judging panel. Season 6 sees a live final where the public will choose their Top Model.

As of Cycle 6, the judges are new host Elle Macpherson, British Fashion/Haute Couture designer Julien MacDonald OBE, Vogue's Fashion stylist of the year Grace Woodward and model Charley Speed who is also signed to Models 1. Previous judges included Lisa Butcher, Marie Helvin, Paula Hamilton, Huggy Ragnarsson, industry expert Jonathan Phang and fashion expert Gerry DeVeaux. Usually, an additional guest judge will sit in on the panel every week.

BNTM has had 3 Model hosts to date. For Cycle 1 British model Lisa Butcher hosted the show, with Lisa Snowdon taking over from cycle 2 to cycle 5. Following Snowdon's announcement that she would be leaving the show in order to concentrate on her radio career, speculation started as to who would replace her. Naomi Campbell initially accepted the offer to host the show but quit a few days before filming began because she didn't know how much time she would have to commit.

After Campbell quit producers only had a few days to find a replacement; on 2 February 2010 iconic Supermodel Elle Macpherson was announced as the new host of Britain's Next Top Model, taking over from Lisa Snowdon. She will also serve as executive producer on the show. Elle along with Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum is one of the most high profile hosts of any other Top Model franchise.

In series 6, the Top Model will receive a modelling contract with Europe's biggest modelling agency Models 1, a 6-page fashion editorial spread as well as the front cover in fashion magazine company, and a £100,000 cosmetics contract with Revlon cosmetics which will see the winner do a make-up shoot for Revlon's new Colorburst Lipstick as well as becoming the face of Revlon's new Autumn/Winter 2010 trend collection that launches in the UK in November.

Former prizes included a £100,000 contract with cosmetics company Ruby and Millie (Cycles 1 & 3) and Max Factor (cycle 5), an advertising campaign for the Ford Fiesta (Cycle 2), a fashion spread in B Magazine (Cycle 1) and representation with Beatrice Models in Milan (Cycle 1).

The Next Top Model American

Abigail Evelyn Titmuss, best known as Abi Titmuss, is a former English nurse turned glamour model, television personality and actress.

Abi Titmuss grew up in Heckington, Lincolnshire where her parents were teachers, and she took her A-levels at Kesteven and Sleaford High School where she played the clarinet.

Abigail Evelyn Titmuss briefly dated cartoonist BP Perry before moving to Ruskington. Her parents divorced when she was 17, and her father moved to Argyll, Scotland, where he re-married. Her mother is secretary of Sleaford Museum trust.

Titmuss graduated from City University in St Bartholomew's Hospital in 1998. Abigail Evelyn Titmuss did a nursing diploma because her A levels were not good enough to be a doctor, and became a staff nurse at London's University College Hospital.

Titmuss had been dating TV presenter John Leslie since 1998, when in 2002 Ulrika Johnsson wrote in her autobiography that an unnamed television presenter had sexy assaulted her earlier in her television career.

Shortly afterwards, Matthew Wright named (apparently accidentally) John Leslie as the alleged perpetrator on his Five.tv television chat show The Wright Stuff. Titmuss was then resultantly brought into the media spotlight when photographed with Leslie returning from working a night shift, and after this point her picture appeared regularly in British newspapers. She was then photographed always supporting Leslie in his court case, dress demurely but stylishly in black, and waiting supportively in the background.

Shortly after Leslie was cleared, a private sexy tape featuring Titmuss and Leslie was released on the Internet. As speculation mounted, Titmuss abandoned her career as a nurse and became a glamour model. In her own words to Sunday Mirror:
