Bieber Duck Tape

Look at the bright side, you could use it to seal up blow holes. Could be cathartic.

Shed-a-Way Pet Vacuum

I have a dog.

Although I've been told that with her breed that is questionable as to whether or not she's really a dog. But I digress...

I'm always on the lookout for ways to groom her a little easier, train her a little better, etc. etc. and so on.  So today in my journeys on the internet - I found this...

The Shed-a-Way vacuum attachment by Bissell.
 
It attaches to your vacuum, and as you brush your dog, the hair is sucked up the tube and discarded of in the vacuum bag or container.

Problem is-vacuum has be to running for it to work.

I don't know about your dogs, but when mine hears the vacuum, this is what happens:

Something tells me the Shed-a-Way isn't such a great idea for my dog.  Just sayin'.

What the….????

I like my nails as much as the next girl…

of course if the next girl is THIS girl, maybe like like my nails MORE than she does, because I’m not sure this is completely sanitary or kind, or productive, or…sane???

Just sayin’.

Airbrush Body Tattoo Kit…

For those who want the Bad Boy persona…without all the pain…or permanence of it all.

Just don’t get it wet.

Because I’m pretty sure a running tattoo will surely lose you some major street cred.

(okay technically, the site does say they are waterproof – but that’s just not as funny.)

Got Wi-Fi?

I know, I know – everyone can always use a good wi-fi signal.

I mean you know you’ve done it – sitting outside a Starbucks or a McDonalds with your laptop trying to send an email or check your favorite blog…some of you might be doing it right now…

Anyway – wouldn’t it be nice if someone came up with a way to detect wi-fi signals without having to drive down the street with your laptop open and waiting for a connection?  (of course not while STARING at your laptop.  You’d never want to drive and use your computer at the same time…at least not without one of these: http://www.someonewillbuythis.com/2009/12/travel-lap-top-desk.html – safety first people!!!)  Wouldn’t it be great if you could simply look down at your chest and determine if you had wi-fi access?

Ah, much better.

Of course the guys at www.Thinkgeek.com have saved the day once again.  Now you can announce to the world that you are a signal surfer.  I suggest you wear it and walk up and down your street – who knows what neighbor you can mooch of of next…

Not that I condone the use of your neighbor’s wireless connection.

Unless it’s an emergency

Like you need to read my blog.

Then it’s okay.

Just In Case You Need To Pass Your Civil Service Requirements…

If you are an Andy Griffith fan – that makes sense to you.

If not, well – I feel sad for you.  Really, really sad.

You see, I’ve only seen this item once before:

And this is where I saw it:

One full inch taller huh?  Hmmmm…perhaps I should rethink this and make it a Friday Post? 

I am going to go lock myself in a closet now.  I’ll promise to come out when I’m at least one full inch taller – that’ll make me at least 5 feet tall.

Chew By Numbers

A few weeks ago my friends and I decided to throw a birthday party for our friend who was turning – um…let’s just say somewhere in the “30’s.”  The theme of the night (since we are all off balance by about 20 degrees or so) was “princess meets 12 year old girl.”

That’s right, we threw a princess party for a fully grown adult.

Do you have a problem with that?  I didn’t think so…

Moving on – one part of the party was a bubble gum biggest bubble contest.

30-some-things should never, ever, ever attempt to chew bubble gum – let alone blow bubbles.

Don’t believe me?  Try it.  Your jaw will never speak to you again.

Next birthday party, we should break out with these:

You see – you chew the different colored bubble gum, and place it on the canvas in the appropriate numbered space.

And if you have sensitive teeth and jaws – they come in sugar free:

I suppose it keeps you from putting the gum under the table though…and look, you get a nifty piece of artwork to share with your mommy.

Because, that’s not gross at all.

Didn't Your Mother Ever Tell You...

Stop writing on your hands?

Mine did.  But I think that she'd be okay with this:

Or maybe not...Then again, if it helped me remember to bring the eggs home instead of buying dog food (because you know, we don't have a dog...) - it might be worth it, as long as I don't get my hands wet - or use those shopping cart sanitizer wipes.

Towel Oragami – Just In Case You Wondered…

Ever have the uncontrollable urge to fold your towels into exotic palm trees or graceful swans and then thought, “darnit – if only there was a book out there somewhere that gave me step by step instructions with beautiful color photos…”

Wonder no more.

Yes, it really is a lost art.  I’m not going looking for it either.  (from our friends at Sky Mall..)

Give it up for the Airplane Catalog…

Seriously – I love Hammacher Schlemmer.

Their name is like the cherry on top of an awesome catalog sundae.

I mean – the gadgets and gizmos in this thing are fabulous!  Millions of air travelers without internet access and something good to read have found many an entertaining moment with that catalog. 

I like it so much, I might just shed a tear…

or buy these:

Metal detecting flip flops.  Another product in a long line of Hammacher Schlemmer goodness.

Dust Mop Slippers

I have to admit.  Mopping and sweeping the kitchen floor are among my two least favorite things to do when cleaning the house.  I will also admit, I have been known to put towels under my feet, a spray bottle in my hand and spot mop – ice skating style…  Lookout Yamaguchi…you should SEE my triple sow cow…

No more towels for me. 

Nope.

I’m gonna get me some of these…

Aren’t they freakin’ awesome?  I mean what could be better than these things?

Yep.  That would be better.

FlowBee

This product really sucks.

Really, it cuts corners.

Hoover heard of such a thing?

Flowbee vacuum assisted hair-cutting system.  Go with the flow.

I think I’ll stick with my very talented and trained cosmetologist, thankyou.

Great Looking Hair

*sounds of shuffling video tapes*

Eureeka!!!   Infomercial GOLD!  I found the RonCo file!!!  Whoo hoo!  What can I find in here that is still running strong…let’s see…

There’s the RonCo food dehydrator, which household didn’t buy that one?

Oooh…the Showtime rotisserie oven – the product that single-handedly set the phrase “Set it,” c’mon everyone say it with me…  “and Forget it!” That was classic.

Ooooh…what’s this?

*popping the video tape into the dust-covered VCR*

GREAT LOOKING HAIR – THE HAIR IN THE CAN!!!

Oh – that’s right, I’d almost forgotten about that one!  Now Dad doesn’t have to stock up on the neon colored hair sprays during the after- Halloween clearance sales.  (Ummm…Tina, why exactly is your dad’s hair pink???)

It comes in six custom colors and a can of shellac…er uh – finishing spray.  Just nobody ---please, I beg of you --- light a match.

Home Electrolosis

Because why would anyone pay a licensed medical professional trained in the proper ways to administer these treatments when you can do it yourself – at home!

That’s right, no more costly trips to the aesthetician.  No more inconvenient rest period after treatment.  Say goodbye to long waits and crowded waiting rooms.

Uh huh.  Right.

I don’t know about you – but I still feel some things are better left to the professionals.   Of course if you like the one eyebrow look….
