Do you want to be a cover girl?

I love "Project Runway," despite the fact I can't even sew a button on something.

But if you have design skills, Brides magazine has an offer I wanted y'all to know about.

Just today, they announced their "Operation: Dream Dress," a first-ever design contest in search of America's
most beautiful wedding gown. What's the prize? The cover of Brides, which happens to be THE most widely read wedding magazine on the planet. Just FYI.

Fashionistas and designers alike are invited to create a dress that embodies the theme of "visionary romance." Semi-finalists will be featured on Brides.com with their designs, and visitors will be asked to vote.

The finalists will be flown to New York, where their gowns will be judged by an expert panel, including editors from Brides. Not only will the talented winner
receive $10,000, but the winning design will be featured on a future cover of the magazine.

A contest page featured in the March/April issue of the magazine (on sale now) officially kicked off the contest with a call for sketches. Open voting on Brides.com (see tulsaworld.com/dreamdress) will determine the finalists who will bring original designs to New York in mid-June where the expert panel will critique and choose a winner.

Good luck! And be sure to let me know if you're picked.

Peace, love and dream dresses ... xoxo

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
