Torrid, the popular plus-size clothing store, is once again holding its House of Dreams model search. If you missed the in-person entry weekend earlier this month, don’t worry; there’s still time to mail in an application. Finalists will receive a trip to Los Angeles to participate in an exclusive photo shoot and one winner will be chosen for a trip to New York and meetings with top models and influencers in the industry.

Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva” recently released a soundtrack CD of songs performed by the show’s stars, as well as music featured on the series. Star Brooke Elliott has a beautiful voice, and that’s been used to great effect on the CD (“Would I Lie To You”) as well as on the show, when her character Jane often breaks out into song.

Plus size models have gotten a lot of buzz lately, from spreads in V and Glamour, to Whitney Thompson winning “America’s Next Top Model” a few cycles back. So it seems that “Britain’s Next Top Model” judge Julien MacDonald was a little off the mark when he called plus size models “a joke” in an interview with Wales Online.

A woman walks around her home in bra and panties, looking sexy and beautiful. Her phone reminds her to of a lunch date, so she puts on a coat and walks out the door. Sounds like a scene you’d see any week on “Desperate Housewives” right? No, this is an ad for Lane Bryant’s Cacique lingerie line, and ABC (which airs “Housewives”) has decided it’s too sexy to show during “Dancing With the Stars.”
