    &lt;td&gt;Actress, singer, model, hottie, Liana Mendoza was seen on the Red Carpet for her movie premiere &quot;Drag Me To Hell&quot;.  She looked beautiful and confident in Trendy Circles bra straps from Strappys.

See, she knows better than to match her bra straps to her shoes.  Classy gal, I like that. Make an accessories statement with our shoulder jewelry bra straps.  

So where else can you see Liana on the big screen?  The Mail Man due out this fall.  She is also working on her debut album.&lt;/td&gt;
