...beauty queens who just adore perusing bridal shops and formalwear stores. I’m not one of them. Shopping for a dress was pure hell. If there’s a gown in the Maryland-Virginia-Delaware area, you can bet my poor body got zipped into it. Yellow washed me out. Orange clashed with my hair color. Red makes you look fat onstage.

Combs wore 10 of the jerseys, sold by Philadelphia-based sports-nostalgia company Mitchell & Ness, at different times during the American Music Awards last year. Rappers like Bow Wow and Snoop Dogg followed, choosing royal blue 1960s L.A. Lakers duds for videos and concerts. Now Reuben Harley, 29, Mitchell & Ness...
