It appears that underdog Blake Lively, the star of Gossip Girl, has zoomed past competition that included Jennifer Garner, Diane Kruger, Kerri Russell, and Eva Green to land the part of Carol Ferris, female lead in the upcoming Green Lantern movie. Ryan Reynolds, spousal unit of Scarlett Johansson, is playing Hal Jordan, who becomes the Green Lantern, who wields a ring that gives him super powers.

The role is easily the biggest of Lively’s career, since Green Lantern is being made to appeal to the young male comic-loving demographic that drops a lot of money at the cinema every year. Her work to date has pretty much been lots of chick-flick and chick-TV roles.

In the movie, Ferris runs an aerospace company and hires Hal Jordan as a pilot to work there. They become love interests. Ferris acquires some of her very own special powers from an alien race, ensuring that a successful box office will lead to lots of sequels.

Lively has appeared in both of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies, as well as one titled New York, I Love You, and Accepted. Reynolds is probably best known for his role as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In the late 1990s he starred on television as Michael “Berg” Bergen in the sitcom Two Guys and a Girl.

Where is it written that workout clothes have to be frumpy and unflattering? It is easier than ever today to look good while you work on looking better.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that today, flattering and beautiful designs, like this Racerback Tank by Our Love Yoga is today’s workout wear. In ribbed knit it is both slimming and flattering.

Even in a heated gym this winter, you’ll probably want a light jacket to wear as you warm up, and this NJC Vintage Peace Dove Zip is perfect. In gray or pink with a pink dove symbol on the back, you’ll feel warm, snug, and peacful when you wear it.

On days when you just have to have long sleeves on, you can still look great if you’re wearing something like this Yudu Long Sleeve Thermal Tee. It’s made from 100% organic thermal cotton with a crew neck and banded cuffs. Available in brown, pink, salt, or pistachio.

If you want a pair of shorts that flatters, then try the Peace Bird Short, made of sweatshirt material. With a stretch waistband and screen print on thigh, you’ll look great and be perfectly comfortable.

You didn’t think we’d leave out yoga pants, did you? These awesome Our Love Yoga Zen Ganesh Capri yoga pants are just like regular yoga pants, but shorter. These are form-fitting and have a roll down top and ganesh detailing on the lower leg. They’re super comfy, too, made with 87% cotton, 13% Spandex.

And finally, what better thing to wear for a workout than Eternal Bliss. The Our Love Yoga Black Foil Chakra Tee has a vintage worn look that differs slightly on every tee. The front of the shirt has a Foil Chakra symbol. Made from a 50-50 cotton polyester burnout blend, you’ll find yourself wearing this again and again for its comfort and great looks.

If you’re planning on wearing one of the glamorous short prom dresses this year, expect your legs to draw a lot of attention. With that in mind, it’s important that you glamorize your legs prior to the event or party you’re going to. Here are tips on how to have the gorgeous, flawless legs that will send a lot of men’s (even women’s) jaws to the ground:

• Perform Leg Toning Exercises. This is not an easy fix, so if you know you’re about to attend your friend’s wedding in a short evening dress, better work on toning your legs now. Tone your calf muscle by lifting your heels off the ground. You can also do toe-raises with your heels on the ground. Tone your thighs by straightening your legs, tightening your thighs, and lifting your legs simultaneously. For all the aforementioned exercises, hold the position for a while before you come back to the starting position.

• Wax your legs. You need not go to a waxing salon to be able to flaunt your gorgeous legs in your short evening dress. All you have to do is to buy a waxing kit. Make sure your leg hair is a quarter of an inch long before you do so. Leg waxing is very easy, just apply the wax evenly on your legs and cover them with the strip toward the direction of hair growth. Be prepared for a little “ouch” as you peel the strip off. Do this for 4-6 times or until all the hair have been removed.

• Tan your legs. You don’t need to hide your pasty legs! To be able to wear your short evening dress, fake tan your legs. You can go to the tanning salon and have an airbrush tan, or you can go to your nearby beauty store and buy a bottle or two of tanning lotion.

• Wear shoes that elongate your legs. Look as if you have longer legs in your short wedding dress by wearing high-heeled shoes. It’s perfectly understandable for you to jeopardize your comfort for a few hours of looking good!

If you don’t have enough time to do all of these tips, there’s always quick fixes such as leg make-up and home waxing sets. It’s never too late to have great legs in your short prom dresses.
