Twilight Fever Reaches the Grooming Aisle
Via this semi-NSFW Twilight lulz blog, I've learned that Bic's line of Soleil razors — whose funk turned me off last year — now includes Twilight and Bella shaving options. I assume it's an attempt to hop on the New Moon train, but don't the bigwigs know that a true Twi shaver would have sparkles in the handle?
Attack of the Taxidermied Hair Accessories!
Designer Reid Peppard certainly knows what to do with vermin. The Central Sain Martins grad has a line of taxidermied accessories out that's burning up the interwebs. If you think these things look a little macabre and cruel, Reid says rest assured that "every effort has been taken to see that the creatures used in RP/ENCORE are victims of road kill, pest control, or natural death.
These Cuffs Protect Your Skin From the Terrors of Water
Is On the Cuff off the heezy? Uh, no. But it's entertaining nonetheless.
Booby Prizes: 9 Wacky Bust-Building Products
Of all the teen-mag advice I read back in the day, one bit stands out as an unwavering truth: there's no magic pill to change the size of your bustline. But don't tell that to the makers of these items. These odd snacks, creams, and drinks promise to turn tangerines to cantaloupes, molehills into mountains, cupcakes into, uh, larger cakes.
Is It Getting Cold In Here?
Boob jobs? So last century. In the United Kingdom, one medical practice has seen a 30 percent rise in nipple surgery during the past year.
This Snake Wants to Slither in Your Shower
Help me, couch potatoes, because I don't watch enough TV to know if this commercial is running on the airwaves. This spot for the BodySnake has all of the corny parts of a regular infomercial, but I kinda refuse to believe that it's real. (I just find it hard to believe that there's that much demand for a step-in foot scrubber.) Then again, the BodySnake does let you "safely reach between your legs," although that sounds dirty to my prurient mind.
Beauty Flashback: Cold Cream For a Cold War Era
They say you have to suffer to be beautiful, but this commercial from the '50s takes the concept to a scary new level. I don't want to ruin the surprise for you, but I will say that I've been looking for a way to incorporate Geiger counters into my beauty routine, and now I have found it. Horrifying.
Lipstamp Hopes You'll Ditch the Tube
Let's say you're inept at applying lipstick. (Who knows, perhaps the whole twist-up-and-sweep-on motion is tricky.) Enter Lipstamp ($24.95), a tool that lets you stamp on lipstick. The kit comes with 10 shapes of stamps; the idea is that you choose the lip shape you desire, put some lipstick on it, and press it to your lips.
Do Leeches Make You More Beautiful?
During a recent visit to David Letterman, Demi Moore revealed that she is a fan of leech therapy. She'd recently had a cleanse in Austria, and part of it involved putting leeches on her belly and letting them suck her blood. "Leeches don't like hair," she explained.
Would You Wear These Silly Shower Caps?
If nothing else, these shower caps put the f-u-n in functional! Even though the silly hats ($5 each) put a smile on my face, is it enough to go to my head? That's yet to be determined.
