CK Editor 3.6 custom styles

Can't seem to get a drop down for custom styles working. I am looking to do this http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Users_Guide/Styling/Styles where I can have the wysiwyg apply a specific class in my stylesheet to text. I have the class already set up in the css. I only want to use my custom classes in the selector.

Below is the js I am using.

	CKEDITOR.replace('ShortDesc', {
			    width: '800px',
			    height: '200px',
			    extraPlugins: 'charcount',
			    charcount_limit: '2000',
			    charcount_limitReachedUIColor: '#FF0000',
			    toolbar: [
			        ['Source', '-', 'Save', 'Preview'],
			        ['Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste', 'PasteText', 'PasteFromWord', ],
			        ['SpecialChar', 'Styles'],
			        ['Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', 'Strike'],
			        ['FontSize'],
			        ['NumberedList', 'BulletedList'],
			        ['TextColor', 'BGColor'],
			        ['Link', 'Unlink', 'Anchor']
			    ],
			    on: {
			        instanceReady: function (ev) {
			            this.dataProcessor.writer.setRules('p', {
			                indent: false,
			                breakBeforeOpen: true,
			                breakAfterOpen: false,
			                breakBeforeClose: false,
			                breakAfterClose: true
			            });
			        }
			    }
			});

yea seen all that. Maybe too many times.

If I have a custom style sheet with classes like .red or .blue, I want those styles to show up in the drop down. I just couldn't seem to get it to work.

.red {
color:red;
}
.blue {
color:blue;
}

Thank you. Getting closer. http://jsbin.com/utupol/3/edit

I need to just add a class to a selected text. The reason is some of the classes are css3 buttons with a lot of code and if want to use what is in an external style sheet that can be used on the cms and live.

If the text is

blah blah blah

and I want to add a class to that so I end up with

<span class="abc">blah blah blah</span>

I am wondering if the ckeditor just applies all the styles associated inline. Maybe I will just do this server side and have them enter something like

<<abc>>blah blah blah<</abc>>
and just let my server side code replace it.

If we can figure out to just add the class, that would be best.

I in part answered by own question... The class i want to add is going to be on a link. And the pop up for links in ckeditor allows you to type in a class. If you can figure out how do do that by a drop down, that would be great. But for now, I am going the easy route and just have them hand type in the class and provide a list of options on the page.
