Women everywhere dream of their big day: the tiered cake, the floral arrangements, the first dance, and, of course, the Vera Wang dress. I know, I wore one and had a fairy-tale wedding.

Her gowns and ready-to-wear are the epitome of elegance. As well they should be (and I don't mean because of the prices): Wang cut her couture teeth under the icy glare of Anna Wintour as a Senior Fashion Editor at Vogue -- there was (size) zero room for error.

After departing the fashion bible -- rumor has it she was passed over for the editor-in-chief job in favor of Wintour -- Wang spent two years working for Ralph Lauren, then set out on her own.

Today, when you mention Cloris Leachman, images of the sprightly octogenarian and her over-the-top behavior on "Dancing with the Stars" immediately come to mind. Die-hard "DWTS" fans and the judges alike were shocked week after week as Leachman somehow managed to rock the vote. But, ultimately, she got the boot (er, soft shoe).

What many people might not picture is the stunning ingenue in 1955's "Kiss Me Deadly" or the star's Oscar-winning performance in 1971's "The Last Picture Show."

And totally true to form, just when you least expect it, Cloris has something else up her sleeve, literally -- a clothing and accessories collection! Aptly (and cleverly) named "Cloris Line," it consists of way more than one singular sensation!

Dancing With The Stars announces sexiest cast ever for season seven

This is almost too good for words. We were excited when we heard that Kim Kardashian would be on the next season of Dancing With The Stars. And we were tickled to learn that the rumors about Lance Bass are true -- he's also going to be on the show. But in our wildest dreams, we couldn't have hoped for the kind of serial nudists and exhibitionists they announced for season seven.

Mr. Randall and his team of seamstresses will have to struggle to avoid a nip-slip or other wardrobe malfunction for this crazy line up of stars:

What will Kim Kardashian wear on Dancing With The Stars?

Rumor has it that curvalicious Kim Kardashian is the next "celebrity" to grace Dancing With The Stars. And if that's true, it completely allays our fears that this wonderful show was about to jump the shark.

First: with whom will they partner this spitfire? Our money is on the equally firey Max Chmerkovskiy, former partner of Mel B., (they were robbed!) and Leila Ali, both ladies with strong personalities.

But the ahem bigger question is what will the rigorous dancing regime to do to Kim's famed posterior? At least we'll get to the bottom of those real or fake rumors.

The gentleman in the picture to the right, standing with the divine Lisa Rinna, is Randall Christensen, of RANDALL DESIGNS. He is the genius behind those Dancing With The Stars costumes.

Like everyone, I covet the glamorous gowns worn by the ladies on the show. But I never dreamed that owning one of the actual dresses was merely a question of a few thousand dollars.

Yeah! Mr. Randall sells them. To real people!

If you don't have $3,300 for a White Charmeuse w/Chiffon Jacket Latin Bodyshort Jumpsuit that Julianne wore in season 4, do what I did. Spend an hour scrolling through all of the cool pictures on the designer's site.

The best part? Some of the dresses have the actual measurements (as in, Lisa's 36-25-35) so you can find out how big -- or, okay tiny -- the stars and dancers are.
