The Grinch says Merry Christmas

Nothing kills the holiday spirit faster than mall traffic. Seriously, all roads within one mile radius of any mall is in a gridlock of late shoppers trying to get in and get out. Its days like this I'm thankful for online shopping and UPS. Too bad the weather's too cold for those shorts - I think they're snazzy.

Man Girdles

Most women are familiar with bodyshape wear such as Spanx - a pain to wear but with great results. Well somebody decided that it wasn't fair for just women to have all the fat-sucking fun and have created girdles for men - or mirdles, the formal term for any product that was started for women but have been adapted to men by putting a 'm' in front or 'man' somewhere such as murse for male purse or manscaping for shaving/waxing.

Look for these at your nearest department store:


Question: The purpose of the body wear is to smooth and diminish the appearance. Wouldn't having the body wear over the private area lead to diminish and smooth it to look like Ken - the not so anatomically correct doll? Just asking....

Debunking the Myth: Jessica Alba

Don't feel bad if you can't be as skinny as Jessica Alba...

....apparently, neither can Jessica Alba.



Ah, the powers of Photoshop. Lose weight, enhance cleavage and get a tan in a matter of minutes!

The Evolution of the Toothbrush

If you haven't bought one yet, run out and get yourself the Sonicare toothbrush. Don't even look at the cheapo look alikes as they do not produce the same results, no matter what they guarantee. Yes, a tad expensive but totally worth it- your 60 year old self will thank you. While you're at it, grab some for your friends and family as Christmas gifts. Sure, they may initially be offended and think that you're questioning their hygene but after one use, they'll u7nderstand. Seriously, my teeth are squeaky clean (like going to the dentist but without the latex gloves) and I love it. Now is a good time to buy as sales are all the rage this time of the year. Do it.
