Fashion design, Hooters style

The Denver Broncos cheerleading tryout finals might have been held in a charter school auditorium Sunday night, but the level of competition was far from junior varsity. Sixty-three finalists from the last round and several hundred fans jammed the Pinnacle Events Center for a dazzling three-hour dance-off that decided which 32 women will compose this season's cheerleading squad, as well as the new Denver Outlaws dancers.

Each year, the Black Rock Desert is transformed into a thriving, diverse miniature metropolis known as Black Rock City for Burning Man, a week-long celebration of radical self-reliance (bring all your supplies) and radical self-expression.

Paramore returned to Denver Monday, this time at the helm of the Honda Civic Tour at Red Rocks. As good as openers Kadawatha, New Found Glory and Tegan and Sara were, they mostly served to prove just how impressive the headliners' accomplishments really are.

Denver was invaded by fake tans, animal prints, big hair and bling. Paul DelVecchio, better known as DJ Pauly D, came to show Denver what “Beating the Beat” really means. First starring on MTV’s most talked about reality show, "Jersey Shore," Pauly D and his seven fellow cast mates represent the Italian American “Guido” lifestyle.

You must agree with us since it landed in the No. 7 spot in most-viewed.

Caught in the act of public display of cuteness

If you were near the Exdo Event Center on Friday night, you could probably hear screaming women from a mile away.

Jackson’s rooftop was packed with people to catch a glimpse of the Coors Light bikini contest Saturday night. This was the preliminary round for the contest and got narrowed down to four lovely ladies.

Ahhh, spring was in the air for this sexy gallery. How did we know? Not by our intense sneezing attacks, but for the event held at Suite 200—we're talking more bikinis, folks! Throw away those cardigan fashion shows and get ready for strings, thongs and Brazilian suits bracing the catwalks.

Anyone who thought raves went out of style in the '90s only had to get within a mile or so of Red Rocks Friday night to see (and hear) how wrong they were.

Suite 200 kicked off the Halloween season in style Friday night as part of the Haute and Naughty Halloween Runway Show.

It's probably safe to say that by this point in the year, all Colorado residents are seriously sick of the cold. Once a few days of super nice, break-out-your-flip-flops weather reveals itself, people usually get cranky when the unexpected two-footer in the end of March happens. Thankfully, there are those who care about the mental well-being of residents of this great state: namely the folks who threw the Spring Break Therapy Party at the Millennium Harvest House hotel in Boulder

Halloween is the only time of the year when you can get MTV's latest reality show stars, Where's Waldo, Katy Perry, and a bunch of sexy devils and nurses all in one room at the same time...or at least a bunch of people that are dressed like them. And as most who have been out to the clubs on any given Halloween would say, it's pretty much a competition for who's got the most impressive costume.

Jet Hotel was the place to be Friday night as Holly Montag of MTV's "The Hills" celebrated her 27th birthday in the upstairs lounge, and Denverites toasted to the occasion.

And the masses came dressed to impress. If you weren't there guzzling down cocktails or ordering bottle service at this chic party stop, check out these pics to see what you missed.
