Diva Principle
What's it all about? Diva defined!  Also read our editorials Diva Is As Diva Does and Don't Let's Ask For The Moon

Divas
We have indexed the individual divas into four different categories - 'Give Good Face', 'Sirens', 'Movers and Shakers' and finally 'You're The Top'. Every month we update the rankings for each category. For this we use the votes cast by the site visitors in each category during that month. Each visitor is allowed one vote in each category. Voting is not possible for the 'You're The Top!' category as this is decided at sitemaster level.
