Because Moms Should Look Good, Too!
Unbelievably Ugly Boot-Ballet Flat Hybrid Shoe
from Newport News
I love Newport News, but this is ridiculous. I don’t know what they were thinking… It’s no wonders these shoes are on sale. I can’t imagine that they could have even sold one pair. These are the ugliest shoes I’ve seen all year.
Don’t you agree???
Maybe it’s because they’re too small or maybe it’s because bikini style undies just don’t work on my big behind, but either way, these undies didn’t work for me.
I’ve read so many fabulous reviews of them. Women’s and children’s styles propose to be wedgie-free! What a revolution! If they actually worked… But like I said, it could be that I need one size bigger or it could be the bikini style. Or it could be both! Honestly I’m not a huge fan of cotton undies to begin with. They bunch up under clothes, leave huge panty lines, wear out quickly. Plus, your pants get stuck to them while you’re pulling them up so you have to fish back down in there to fix them before you zip up. But isn’t that just the bane of wearing underwear? Not for me it isn’t.
I found the eureka jackpot in undies! And they aren’t Hanes…
Come back tomorrow morning to find out what they are and how you can get a pair…
Is it just me, or is yellow nail polish the worst idea ever? Who decided that jaundiced fingernails should be the next trend? YUCK!
And the worst part is, Leatrice Eiseman, author and Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, predicted that the next trendy shade for nails was going to be Yellow.
If we knew this would happen, why didn’t we do something about it?! This has got to be the worst trend for spring and summer 2008. And for Rihanna to jump on board with this is just disappointing.
All we have to say is… Don’t do it!!!
I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to hurt your eyes with this picture, but I had to rant about this nonsense!
Croc’s line of stupid high heels shoes were bad enough, but this is just over the line… Someone please stop these people from destroying our planet with hideousness!
I propose and “Keep America Beautiful” petition to stop the spread of Croc-itis!!! Yes, that’s an actual disease… I learned that in medical school. What? Reading a book about health in the second grade doesn’t actually count as medical school?
Oh snap.

Crocs, the comedy shoe company, are expanding their reach with a new line of mobile device cases.
The Crocs “o-dial” phone case is a universally-sized mobile device case, designed to share the “look and feel” of the Cayman shoes.
It offers patent-pending features like an adjustable strap concept, a strong plastic belt-clip and each case comes packaged with a lanyard.
The raised inside surface is designed to protect the screens of electronic devices while an internal accessory sleeve gives owners the option to use it for ID, travel, credit cards or cash too.
Available in eight colours – black, silver, red, grape, fuchsia, celery, cotton candy and turquoise – the cases are available now at £6.95 each.

Please don’t tell me you like them… I don’t think I could bear the misery. I’m not the only one who thinks this, ya know!
You may remember some old posts here like “The Housewife Says… Crocs are BAD!” and “Crocs Are Still BAD!”
Well…I’m (still) not the only one who things that Crocs SUCK!

I recently purchased their new product called “Plumping Lip Glaze” in the shade called “cherry mint” because I really liked the subtle color when I tested it on my hand at Sephora. I was later disappointed. It’s equally as sticky as their other lip glosses. Unless you wear your hair back in a ponytail, it works like fly paper in that your hair will be sticking to your mouth.
I really hate when lip glosses do that so I’m always on the hunt for a non-sticky kind. This one claimed to plump up your lips. Visually speaking, it might give that illusion (temporarily) because of the minty flavor, it feels like your lips are plump. It doesn’t last and although the sheer subtle shade is in fact pretty, at $24.00 you can probably find a cheaper and more effective gloss.
Sorry Stila, this color is pretty but this one just doesn’t work for me!
Here is the link to the most amusing and gratifying article in the Radar Magazine in which the Manolo has been quoted decrying the terrible rise of the crocs.
However, this is the best quote in the entire piece.
“I have to say that these things are hideous!” adds Jay Escobara, cofounder of New York-based design collective Saenai. “Crocs personify the ‘eclectic’ person who really isn’t all that different from the Kmart shopper but pretends to follow the trend in hopes it might place him among a group of people and/or lifestyle.”
It is so true, so very, very true.
