Create a classic look with this High Waisted Pencil Skirt as an essential foundation piece. Made of a stretch knit poly/spandex blend, it hugs the curves and creates a flattering, vintage silhouette. The skirt has belt loops in the front and back to accommodate a skinny belt, but it looks great without a belt, too! We love to pair it with a cardigan sweater and backseam stockings for a sexy pinup look.
The adorable, darling High-Waisted Pinup Shorts feature a unique zipper front, zipper back pocket, and a cotton/poly material that looks like dark wash denim. Made in the USA! Available in sizes small through large.

We’ve been working like it’s a 24/7 hackathon over here to bring all of YouTube to your Google TV, and today we’ve got a round of updates that bring even more entertainment to your TV.
Adding Recommendations in My YouTube There’s a big, beautiful world of channels and videos on YouTube, and the My YouTube tab organizes all of it for you. With an hour of video coming to YouTube every second, there’s always something new to enjoy, so we’ve added Recommendations to My YouTube to make the experience more relevant for you.
Like a great playlist, Recommendations can introduce you to the ever-expanding creativity of YouTube creators, showing you how things like pillows, a car wash, and taxidermy are related in the most hilarious of ways. On the topic of playlists, all of your private playlists are now featured as a grid of videos so you can quickly find any video in your Watch Later or Favorites.
From a new favorite to a must watch Recommendations and Search are great ways to discover all kinds of videos, and behind every great video is a channel you might enjoy even more. This February, you started seeing YouTube channels on Google TV. You asked us to make searching even easier, so we’ve added Channel Search to quickly find the channel you’re looking for. Find one you like? Subscribe and the channel will be available and constantly updated in the My YouTube tab.
Smooooooooth playback YouTube videos should look crisp and beautiful on the big screen, so the video will start playing at the best available resolution based on your connection. If you need to share some bandwidth love with other devices on your network, YouTube will automatically switch to a lower resolution to keep your video playing smoothly, rather than rebuffering. In other words, play on, player.
YouTube +1 Finally learning about Gotye and want to share it with the world? You can now +1 the video the same way you can on YouTube, and it will appear in your Google+ profile.
Your new YouTube is automatically available now, and you can always download it from the Google Play Store . As YouTube is constantly adding new features, we’re always working to bring them to the Google TV app. Let us know on Google+ what you want to see in the future, and any feedback on the new update!

Our first Google TV Hackathon came to a close Sunday night, resulting in some really neat apps through strong participation from the developer community. As the app movement reaches for the next frontier -- the TV -- we’re encouraged by the energy, enthusiasm, and innovation we saw this weekend. Here’s how it played out.
Hacking away in Mountain View, CA
Throughout the weekend, 370+ developers from both sides of the Atlantic united for an all-out session of intense hacking, coding, collaborating, and fun. We saw 60 teams create apps in just one weekend -- everything from games to home automation to chat. The judges had a great time reviewing the apps, but in the end, there could only be a few winners from each location. And here they are!
US:
Deja: an app on social video channels (Best New App Built from Scratch)
MyTV+: a media discovery app built around a novel way to aggregate social recommendations(Best New App Built from Scratch)
Viki on Google TV: an app to watch shows and movies translated into different languages (Best Ported App)
Quizinator: a multiplayer quiz game with a very cool user interface(Best Multi-screen App)
Popular Choice Awards: MyPicasso, PinTV, and Chess
UK:
MyTV: a customizable dashboard of news clips, traffic alerts, weather reports, etc. (Best in Show)
FeedMe: an app that streams a waterfall of images from various personal sources to background music (Best User Experience)
Remoter: an app that makes the TV your hub for family communication using Google Chat and other APIs (Best Technical Implementation)
Honorable Mentions: Pongan and I Don’t Know (that’s their name, not our admission of amnesia)
Presentations in London, UK
All U.S. attendees received Google TVs. Additionally, the U.S. winning teams each took home two highly coveted Google I/O tickets and a new 55” Sony HDTV, while our winners in the UK will be among the first people to get their hands on the forthcoming Sony Internet Player NSZ-GS7. A huge thanks to Sony for providing these prizes. Expect to see these apps coming soon and promoted by Google, Sony, AdRise, and others. “This hackathon was a blast and we would do it again in a heartbeat,” said Jiong Shen, MyPicasso.
