SEE. TV DivaGal actually did a few flips on a cheerleading squad in her high school days, so of course I was first in line to see Bring It On: The Musical, currently playing on Broadway. From the opening number men and women in Falcons uniforms are flipping across the stage ΓÇô including So You Think You Can Dance Season 3 finalist/All-Star Neil Haskell ΓÇô and you know it’s going to be one electric ride. Two dueling high schools’ cheerleading squads is the only thing the musical has in common with the original movie of the same name. In this production, pretty blonde would-be head cheerleader Campbell suddenly gets redistricted to tough Jackson High ΓÇô which has no cheerleading squad, gasp! Campbell meets Danielle, the sassy African American in charge of a hip-hop crew, and Campbell concocts a back-up plan to have her cheer moment (she’s not the only one plotting in this cast!). The ensemble, most with real cheerleading backgrounds, attack the stage like they are in final competition to win the Spirit Stick. The musical numbers are fun and peppy and turn the cast, many who are making their Broadway debut, into quadruple threats: they sing, dance, act AND tumble. Where else can you see that ion stage for 2 ┬╜ hours? We’re definitely watching careers in the making of stars Taylor Louderman (Campbell) and Adrienne Warren (Danielle). Gregory Haney easily steals the show every night — you’ll have to see it to find out why! Bring It On: The Musical, playing at New York City’s St. James Theatre.

SOOTHE. Dry lips are a big problem in the winter — but the DivaGals still can feel the dry burn in the heat. That’s why we loved getting┬á Neosporin’s Lip Health Daily Hydration Therapy, which claims it can restore lips in three days. We decided to put it to the test, a voila, 72 hours later, our lips did feel smoother and less dry. Not only does Lip Health lock in moisture, but it has SPF 20, which means we’re blocking out all the ways the sun could wreak havoc on our lips in summertime!

GLAM. Evening wear designer and celebrity stylist Dora Lau has brought her touch of glam to curvy girls with a collection of elegant bras and underwear. Each piece is rich with delicate details. The pieces are not only beautiful but offer the support and lush fabrics rarely seen in the plus-size market. If you’ve got curves and love lingerie at affordable prices, Curvy Couture has got you covered.
