You may have heard of vajazzling – the inexplicably popular practice of women decorating their bikini areas with Swarovski crystals. Apparently, some men out there have been so dazzled by the shining nether regions of their ladies that they’re getting in on the bejweled action.
Psychology Today has removed an article on “Why Black Women Are Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women,” but many – us included – are wondering why it was published in the first place.
Sometimes you hear about a company and wonder “why didn’t I think of that?” because they’re such obviously good ideas (see: Groupon). Then there are the companies that make you go “why didn’t I think of that?” because the idea itself isn’t all that great, but you know some dimwit will pay for it anyway (see: the Pet Rock): Cloud Girlfriend seems to be one of those companies.
Ripped from the writer’s room at 30 Rock, a GE appliance distributor in the UK has introduced a 5’9″ tall commemorative refrigerator/freezer.
Seriously.
Thomas Horodecki, a 36-year-old manager for Elie Tahari, is suing his employer for $2 million. He alleges that he suffered a mental breakdown, depression and exhaustion because the company moved him from his post at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York to Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s locations in Hackensack. Apparently the Neiman Marcus in Paramus was also depressing enough to require medication.
Al-Quaeda’s obviously been studying Vogue.
The international terrorist organization is getting into the lady mag business with Al-Shamikah, roughly transated to “the Majestic Woman.” A magazine? No one launches magazines anymore, it’s all about the iPad apps. What are these people living in a cave…oh, wait.
“I think Galliano needs to justify what he’s done,” Max Clifford, PR and damage-control expert, told WWD. “He needs two or three Jewish friends to come forward and tell the public that he is not remotely anti-Semitic in all the years they have known him. Or he has to say it was meant to be a funny rant, or that he was just trying to annoy to the people sitting next to him.”
What?! As we predicted, a number of statements are so enamored with Galliano’s skill that they separate it from his social failings, but that particular piece of advice from Max Clifford fails on so many levels that we can’t wonder how much Clifford was drinking before he offered it.
By now you may have heard about a little popular uprising in Egypt that forced Hosni Mubarak to resign from his decades long post as president. That was sparked by a successful uprising in Tunisia, where protesters frustrated with social and economic conditions that hadn’t changed under their decades old leader, forced him to flee the country. Those two things have kicked off protests and uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East, most recently in Libya. There, protesters have reportedly met with violence when trying to protest against the 42-year-old rule of Muammar al-Gaddafi.
There have been concerns about stability in the region, how it will affect oil prices, and oh, yeah, all of the Libyan people being killed by mercenaries. Forget all that though, let’s ask the important questions: what does Gaddafi’s wife wear? How does she travel around Tripoli? How chic is life in the Gaddafi family home?
We have nothing against love, but frankly it’s making some people stupid.
