Hey von Hottlettes!
I'm very excited to be the first female contributor to Zoomdoggle.com, a great new website devoted entirely to fun. Each week, my friends over at Zoomdoggle.com are going to feature a (never-before published) von Hottie picture of the week! I love Zoomdoggle - it's fun and smart, just like von Hottie!
You can view the first three pictures here!
Check Zoomdoggle every week (usually Thursdays) for the next von Hottie picture of the week. Be sure to leave a comment - I love to hear what my fans think.
Love and kisses,
von Hottie,

thinking outside the bridal box
Dear von Hottie,
Help I’m getting married! Fortunately, my husband-to-be is not the problem. The problem is the dress. I am not your typical self-obsessed bride who has been dreaming about a certain dress her whole life. We want a theatrical and very non-traditional wedding. So the last thing I want is some cupcake-like lacy, bedazzled frock. I have an appointment to look at dresses and a small entourage of women has volunteered to come with me. They have been sending me pictures of dresses they think are me. von Hottie – these are plain Jane dresses and a little too crunchy. Think white, flowy and in a field of wheat. True, I’m not always comfortable in the spotlight. I’m a director not an actress. But at the same time I direct Ionsesco, not the Glass Menagerie! I can’t find much I like to counter their boring dresses. Help me find a dress that is really me!
- Naked and thrust into the spotlight

Dear Naked Ionesco Bride,
If there's anything I understand, it's a woman in need of some theatricality in her life.
First, we need to stop thinking “wedding” and start thinking “event.” Pretend you’re not walking down an aisle, you’re walking down the red carpet. This will exponentially expand your options (and you’ll still be able to wear white!).
For inspiration, check out red carpet or runway pictures of fashion & gowns at Style.com. To start shopping, you can hop over Shopstyle.com, which pulls a large selection of designs from all over the internet. Another good place to check is Bluefly.com, which often has plenty of fancy gowns.
Also, there are some innovative designers who think outside of the bridal box. My favorites are Morgane Le Fay (feathers! Intricate fabric designs!) and Alice Temperley (Beads! Sequins!). And, if all else fails, Mary Adams will custom design a wedding dress for you, and it will definitely be theatrical.
Happy shopping!
Love,
von Hottie
