One of the key elements of professional entertainment wrestling is to cut those effortless promos. No matter how good one’s in-ring abilities are, at the end of the day, if your promos aren’t as solid as they should be, it goes all haywire. One such name that eventually couldn’t cook to his utmost was ECW […]

WE all love a bargain, especially when it means saving thousands on designer goods.
One of the best places to uncover hidden gems is charity shops, where people donate their old items.

One fashion fan was left stunned after stumbling upon a Hollywood-worthy find.
Ashley Cano, who goes by the name ‘aileenscloset90’ on TikTok, discovered what appears to be Carrie Bradshaw’s Vera Wang wedding dress from the Sex and the City movie.
The dress, which is the Eleanor bridal gown by Vera Wang, was worn by Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City during a bridal photoshoot for Vogue.
According to resale bridal sites, the gown typically retails for around $7,000 – approximately £5,562.
However, Ashley, who frequently thrifts and sells pieces on Poshmark, managed to snap it up for just £15.
She shared a video on TikTok, captioning it: “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this dress.
“But I fear I may have bitten off more than I can chew. It’s so big, so heavy. And I have no clue how to best sell it.”
The all-white, strapless gown features an A-line full skirt adorned with feathered flower embroidery.
In the video, which zooms in on the dress and its label, Ashley can be heard saying: “Vera freaking Wang.
“I cannot believe that I found this dress at Goodwill for $18.99. It is Vera Wang.
“It is the Carrie Bradshaw dress.
“I’m shook. I have never sold a wedding dress, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them in the comments.”
Ashley’s video has already gained over 198 comments as many rush to share their thoughts.
One asked: “How much are you selling it for? I might be interested profoundly single but I am deeply engaged to serving.”
To which Ashley replied: “Haha I love your vibe. I’m not trying to make a crazy amount from it.
She managed to get the dress for £15tiktok/@aileenscloset90
“Definitely want to spread the love and bless a bride. I’d say somewhere between 15-20% of retail.”
A second added: “The way this is my size and I am getting married in two months and this is my dream dress.”
A third said: “Omg you hit the jackpot!”
Whilst another wrote: “I immediately thought of Carrie Bradshaw before you said a word. Amazing score!”
Dos and don’ts of wedding dress codes
By Josie Griffiths, Fabulous deputy editor and bride-to-be.
Josie Griffiths said: I’ll never forget the wedding I went to in October 2022 where a guest wore a white dress.
It was ill-fitting, knee length and looked nothing like an actual wedding dress, but that didn’t stop everyone judging her.
The rules on wedding guest outfits – which are annoyingly loads stricter for women than they are for men – are meant to be about “not upstaging the bride”, which in reality is quite hard to do on someone else’s wedding day.
But if you get it wrong as a guest, you do end up looking a bit silly, and in front of loads of people who don’t know you personally.
It’s just not the occasion for your new white dress, as much as online stores love dumping them in the ‘wedding guest’ section.
I’d avoid anything too tight/short, and ditch super formal gowns unless the dress code calls for them – you don’t want to be in a full length sequin gown at a smart casual event.
Personally I don’t like black dresses either, it isn’t a funeral.
Otherwise you should be pretty safe. Technically wearing red means you’re in love with the groom, but that’s the kind of rule most people would scoff at nowadays.
I do always check what colour the bridesmaids are in, just to be safe, after the Spanish wedding where I watched them walk down the aisle in the exact same dress I’d had in my Asos shopping basket just weeks earlier.
If in doubt, safest to just double check with the bride… but if you’re already doubting your dress that might be all the answer you need.
2 weeks agoNews 1Comments Off on I packed 2 suitcases, left the UK & moved to Alicante…rent is as cheap as £330 a month & the food & people are WAY nicer
A YOUNG woman has revealed that she packed two suitcases, left the UK and moved to Spain.
Not only is rent now much cheaper, but Tilly Lagarde claimed that the food is better and the people are much nicer too.
A content creator has revealed that she ditched life in the UK and moved to Spaintiktok/@tillylagarde1Not only was the weather calling Tilly Lagarde, but now in Alicante, the young woman praised the affordable renttiktok/@tillylagarde1GettyShe also loves the delicious food and lovely people[/caption]
GettyTilly claimed that monthly rent ranges from £330 to £827[/caption]
Eager to open up on her move abroad, the brown-haired beauty took to social media to reveal all, leaving many open-mouthed.
As she shared clips as she prepared to head to Spain, Tilly said: “Four months ago, I packed up two suitcases and moved by myself to Spain to work as a digital nomad.”
Tilly then gave her followers a close-up look at the first apartment she moved to, as she added: “My first apartment was so cute and I was so lucky to get it, but it was a little bit out of the way of everything, and now that I’ve made some friends and made a bit of a life here I am, I am moving to Alicante.”
But Tilly soon flocked to Alicante, as she beamed: “So I packed up my Fiat 500 as full as it could possibly be, drove myself to Alicante, signed the contract, and I’ve now moved in with my friend in our new apartment.
“This is my new bedroom and then this is me, sat on my new balcony, romanticising my life, because why the hell not?”
Not only does Tilly love her new apartment, but she was eager to share some more information on renting in Spain.
She claimed that it was slightly difficult to find a flat, as quite a lot of them needed a few months’ deposit.
However, she revealed that you can find accommodation in Alicante for much more affordable prices than in the UK, as she explained: “Rent is very affordable in my opinion, [it] ranges from €400 [£330] to €1,000 [£827] depending on apartment size and location.”
And this is significantly cheaper than in the UK, as according to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average monthly rent in the UK is currently around £1,300.
As well as this, in another clip, Tilly revealed the five reasons why she left the UK to move to Spain.
Not only was the weather a big reason for Tilly, but she also praised the food too.
The content creator claimed that her body “thanks” her for eating organic and fresh produce that “hasn’t been imported or genetically modified”.
As well as this, not only does she believe the food is nicer in Spain than in the UK, but she also praised the people too.
This is me, sat on my new balcony, romanticising my life, because why the hell not?
Tilly Lagarde
She claimed that “everyone in Spain has been so welcoming and kind” and stressed that “people are nicer in the sunshine”.
Additionally, Tilly also moved away from the UK as a result of the cost of living crisis.
She stressed that renting in the UK had become “increasingly more expensive” and acknowledged that “although prices are increasing in Spain, the value for money is way better”.
Moving house hacks
1. Declutter Before You Pack
Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load.
2. Create an Inventory
Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move.
4. Label Everything
Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized.
5. Pack a ‘First Day’ Box
Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day.
6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup
Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place.
7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items
Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury.
8. Colour-Code Your Boxes
Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.
And if that wasn’t enough, the influencer also praised the culture and stressed that Spain has it “spot on”.
She recognised that Spanish people “socialise for the soul” and rather than work and money, family and friends are higher up on their list of priorities.
Social media users react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @tillylagarde1, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly amassed 86,100 views.
Social media users were happy for Tilly’s move abroad and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: “It is my dream to live in Spain, Portugal or Malta for a better quality of life but I don’t know where to start.”
Alicante is a very popular destination to move to. Enjoy every minute

2 weeks agoNews 1Comments Off on Shay Given aims hilarious dig at Liverpool legend after starring on TV together for Newcastle’s Anfield loss
SHAY Given had a glass VERY half-full outlook upon seeing Liverpool dispatch of Newcastle United with relative ease.
On Wednesday evening the Reds took their latest step in what’s become a procession to the Premier League title.
@no1shaygivenGiven, 48, shared the spotlight with Owen, 45, on Premier League TV[/caption]
AlamyAlexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai supplied the goals in a comfortable 2-0 home win[/caption]
Given was on punditry duty as the Toon representative for Premier League TV alongside former Liverpool goal machine Michael Owen.
Reflecting on the evening as a whole, the Ireland legend hopes it’ll be another story when they meet in the League Cup final on March 16.
He joked: “Nice to be on Premier League TV with Steve Bower and Michael Owen.
“Hopefully the Toon saving themselves for the final in a few weeks!”
He and Newcastle supporters everywhere can at least take solace in the fact that that affair will take place in the neutral venue of Wembley.
And there was also a significant contributing factor to last night’s loss since they were without their top marksman Alexander Isak who was ruled out with a minor groin complaint.
Arne Slot was sat in the main stand at Anfield on a night when Liverpool’s fans started celebrating the title.
The moment Alexis Mac Alister swept a shot past Nick Pope for the Reds’ second goal, with Dominik Szoboszlai having scored the first, the sound of ‘We’re going to win the league’ appeared to be sung by virtually every person inside the stadium.
Apart from Slot, obviously. Although he was probably humming along.
Incredibly, Liverpool are now 13 points clear and this gap is certainly unlucky for everyone else.
With 10 games left, Liverpool have the cigars out so why don’t the Premier League get on with it and hand over the title now?
Slot was banned from the dugout as he served the first of a two-match ban due to the red card he received at the end of the Merseyside derby against Everton for comments made to the officials.
Throughout that game at Goodison Park, Slot was the most animated we had seen him since arriving in England and over the next day or so, the FA will release the reasons behind the ban and what was said by the Dutchman.
Yet Slot, who posed for pictures with the mascots near the tunnel before taking his seat in the stands, looked nice and relaxed throughout – and little wonder.
Even though Mo Salah failed to score for the ninth game in succession – yet he did deliver an assist – the red machine rolled on relentlessly.
For Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, it is now just one win in 21 matches against Liverpool and he will be hoping for much better luck in the Carabao Cup final.
Ultimately, Liverpool were comfortable even though Newcastle did improve in the second half.
SALAH THE CENTREPIECE
As you would expect, all the talk before the game was about Salah who is out of contract at the end of this season.
Yet in an TV interview early in the day, Salah claimed there was still no news regarding a new deal.
Salah also claimed this is his best campaign at the club even though this is the fifth time he has hit the 30-goal mark.
The reason, Salah stressed, was he believes he is helping his team-mates play better and gave the examples of Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.

Michelle Trachtenberg is understood to have endured a secret health battlein the months before she wasfound dead, which included her having a liver transplant operation.
The medical procedure took place towards the end of 2024, and Michelle is believed to have been experiencing complications from it.
Citing law enforcement sources, TMZ reported that her body may have even rejected the new liver.
Cops confirmed that Michelle’s mom found her dead in her apartment near Columbus Circle in Manhattan after 8 am on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
No foul play is suspected, but police said her cause of death is still unclear as of February 27.
Michelle’s boyfriend Jay Cohen told DailyMail the family “will not be commenting on the tragedy”.
The remark was his first following her passing.
Who is Jay Cohen?
Jay Cohen is the longtime partner of the late actress Michelle Trachtenberg.
The 63-year-old is a partner and the head of finance and distribution at the Gersh Agency — one of Hollywood’s oldest talent agencies, which represents actors, writers and directors.

He later moved to LA, launching film production company Cosmic Entertainment with Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson.
Jay’s credits as a movie producer include Swimming With Sharks (1994), Two For The Money (2005) and Bride Wars (2009).
Relationship timeline
Michelle and Jay were first publicly linked by Us Weekly in 2020, with the outlet revealing they were dating.
But she signed with the Gersh Agency in 2014, with an insider saying at the time that the couple had already been “dating for over a year”, per MailOnline.

Michelle playfully fueled engagement rumors in 2020 by posting a diamond ring photo on Instagram along with the caption “I picked the right one”.
But she later clarified that it was a voting public service announcement in support of Joe Biden for the 2020 presidential election.

Their names are Lili and Rachel, whom Jay regularly mentions on social media.
