I’m not gonna mess around: I’m up to my eyeballs in SAT essays and am wearing permanent toddler shaped legwarmers today in addition to the older kids being “on break” from school. (A “break” for whom exactly?? Oh, right, the teachers. Yeah, yeah, they deserve it!) So I will wish you all a happy Friday …
Aww! I miss the ’80s! Who doesn’t love a furry loin cloth that requires a bikini wax to wear??It finally happened: I got the “you look too muscular” comment from another woman in the gym. Gym Buddy Allison and I were minding our own business, finishing up our second set of 10 reps of 135-lb …
Katie Green has a spectacular rack. Everyone agrees. At least enough people voted her – and her 30F’s (no that’s not a typo – can you imagine?) – to be the winner of Wonderbra’s “Real Women” campaign. At first Green was “completely bowled over” by the news that she had been picked by her British …

Occasionally I am asked to test out a product so crazy weird that I simply can’t resist saying yes. Some bloggers get to try out cool stuff like hawt Danskin clothes (aside to Danskin: pick me, pick me!!) or powdered peanut butter. Me? I get pinhole glasses.
