Black stars rock The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection 2012 show

The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection 2012 fashion show was held last night in New York City at the Hammerstein Ballroom. This annual event seeks to raise awareness about women and heart disease by featuring a host of beautiful actresses, singers and popular personalities in stunning red dresses, strutting their stuff for a celebrity-studded audience.

This year, The Heart Truth's Red Dress show marked the start of this season's New York City Fashion Week. An event that often features many African-American stars, Chaka Khan, television presenter Aisha Tyler, and TV host LaLa Anthony walked the runway for 2012 along with big names like Minka Kelly. Black luminaries Vivica A. Fox, Phylicia Rashad, and B. Smith (a notable lifestyle maven) also lent their presence to the charity affair, now in its tenth year.

The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection was created by "Million Hearts, a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services initiative to try to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes by 2017," according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute states that heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States, and "[f]or African American women, the risk of heart disease is especially great."

Beautiful Wedding Dresses

There are several things to note before you buy and choose a beautiful wedding dress.

A new way to receive the latest fashions

Almost every woman of every age has seen a dress owned by a celebrity on television and wished they could afford to have it in their possession. You may now be able to afford that Gucci gown through an on-fire internet service called, Rent the Runway.

A catchy title to go along with their catchy prices. Co-founders Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss created a convenient and affordable way to buy designer fashions. From the biggest names in fashion, you may be able to snag up to a 90 percent off deal.

Procedure: Since RTR is aiming to be the place for your total look, you don't even have to shop for Spankx anywhere else--the handbag, dress, jewlery, along with Spankx are available--and they advertise the second size as free. Just give the company at least a 6 month advance notice(the way most Hollywood celebs do it) before your event, and then keep the items for 4 to 8 days. Then simply slip your dress in the mailbox after use.

They have a 99 percent satisfaction rate, because if none of the dresses you have chosen fit, you will receive a full credit, minus shipping and handling fees.

For the woman who hates to shop(if there is one out there) Renttherunway.com is for you.
