Lauren Conrad's Rockin' Hot Body

I love the dress on Lauren Conrad here. It's designed for easy access, just a quick tug and it comes off, handy when it comes to having a quickie.

Sweet body on LC,

This is her bio on wikipedia,
Lauren Katherine Conrad (born February 1, 1986), often referred to as "L.C.", is an American fashion design student and television personality. She is best known for being featured in the MTV reality series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and for her spin-off show, The Hills, which follows her personal and professional life as she pursues a career in the fashion industry.

She was born in Laguna Beach, California, [2] the daughter of Katherine (née Lawrence) and James (Jim) Conrad. They later moved to Laguna Beach. [1] Conrad has a younger sister, Breanna (featured in Laguna Beach season three),[3] and a younger brother named Brandon. Conrad lived with her family in Laguna Beach throughout her childhood and high school years.

Conrad moved into a Los Angeles apartment with new roommate Heidi Montag. Conrad continued her studies at the Fashion Institute and started an internship at Teen Vogue. MTV began filming Conrad for a new reality series, The Hills, which was announced in the fall of 2005. Around that time, Conrad resumed dating Jason Wahler, who also moved to Los Angeles from Laguna Beach. When Teen Vogue offered Conrad an opportunity to spend the summer of 2006 working in Paris, she turned it down so that she could spend time with Wahler. Conrad and Wahler stayed together until the beginning of August 2006.

MTV renewed The Hills for a second season, which filmed from late summer of 2006 through February of 2007. Throughout that time the friendship between Conrad and Montag deteriorated as Montag increasingly spent her time with new boyfriend, Spencer Pratt. By February 2007, Audrina Patridge, another person featured on The Hills, replaced Montag as Conrad's roommate after Montag moved into a separate apartment with Pratt, effectively ending the friendship.

Conrad's interest in fashion design began at a very young age, when a neighbor taught her to draw and helped her make clothes for her Barbie doll. This passion led her to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Conrad attended for one semester but eventually transferred to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, where she currently majors in product development. Conrad landed an internship at Teen Vogue while filming season one of The Hills. According to Lisa Love, the West Coast editor of Vogue who evaluated Conrad for the internship position, Conrad had to interview successfully in order to get the job, "regardless of what the cameras wanted."

Conrad and her reality show appearances have been credited with improving sales of Teen Vogue. It was reported in March 2007 that, since the second season of The Hills began airing in mid-January, newsstand sales for the magazine increased by double digits over 2006 sales.

She has also developed a new fashion line called "The Lauren Conrad Collection". The line debuted at Mercedes Benz LA Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in March 2008.[11]

In January 2007, Conrad was named the first official spokesperson of "mark.", a line created by Avon and marketed toward young women. She will partner with "mark." and collaborate in both beauty and fashion initiatives. She will be featured in the brand’s magalog (a combination magazine and catalog reaching over six million customers every month), and in the "mark." online community. A line of exclusive co-branded items are part of future plans and will be available on the website and through "mark." representatives.

As of April 24, 2008, Conrad is also the national spokesperson for College Tonight.

Conrad appeared on the cover of the June/July 2006 issue of Teen Vogue magazine. It was the first time an intern at the magazine appeared on the cover. That same month, TV Guide published an interview with Conrad that discussed the Teen Vogue cover shoot and detailed her life as the subject of reality television. Conrad appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue again in August 2007 cover alongside friend and fellow intern, Whitney Port.

The following month she graced the cover of the August 2006 issue of Seventeen magazine. Conrad did another cover for Seventeen magazine's October 2007 issue. This issue was for the launch of her new clothing line, Lauren Conrad Collection and gave an exclusive look at her designs.

Conrad made her third cover appearance on the March 2007 issue of Cosmo Girl. The issue was published under two different covers, both featuring Conrad.

In the October 2, 2006, issue of Us Weekly, Conrad was named one of the magazine's "Fresh 15 Faces for 2006", and in 2007, the magazine named her a "Hot Hollywood Player".

A March 2008 issue of Us Weekly implied in its headline that Conrad felt betrayed by her friend/roommate Audrina Patridge and her former boyfriend, Brody Jenner.[20] The article that follows the headline, however, states nothing that discusses the apparent feud between Conrad and either Patridge or Jenner. Through a blog on her MySpace page, Conrad clarifies the issue saying,

"The article itself is a nice one but it follows headlines that, in no way, represent my words or feelings. I do not feel betrayed by Audrina or Brody. I love them both and said nothing to contradict this. I understand that headlines sell magazines, but I value my friendships above magazine sales any day."
