See all with Vision Goggles

Mike is a hard guy to shop for. Not because he has everything or wants nothing, but because he’s so even keeled that he doesn’t get outwardly excited about many things. Sure, there are a few old standbys that I know he’ll love (video games, dvds, knick knacks, but coming up with something new is difficult.

Something new that I know he’ll get excited about this Christmas is night vision goggles from Optics Planet. Not only are the fun to spy on the neighbors and play around with, they can come in handy at his job as a paramedic.

Optics Planet has everything from night vision goggles to sunglasses and microscopes, so take a look at the gift guide and finish your Christmas shopping!

Spice Girls Tesco Commercial

The Spice Girls’ commercials for Tesco are beyond adorable. I just love them, and I’ve never been a closet fan. I proudly saw Spice World in the theatres when I was in high school.

Cooking Aprons

I like to cook (though doing dishes are another story), and when I cook, I make a mess. To save my clothes, I need star chef worthy cooking aprons, like the ones available at Cozy Homewares. Their aprons are made of sturdy fabric with plenty or pockets to keep your towels and favorite utensils handy. Right now, they have the basic colors (red, blue, green, white), but their inventory is growing by the day and ever order comes with FREE shipping anywhere in the US.

BYU Modesty Standards

Hide your hideThe BYU Honor Association is unknowingly amusing thousands of internet junkies with their modesty and grooming standards campaign.

When we are clean, well-groomed, and modestly dressed, we are inclined to feel more confident in ourselves. We are able to represent ourselves, the University, and the Church in a manner that is professional and welcoming to visitors. It is also respectful to others when we are dressed in a way that is not revealing and distracting to other students and teachers who are striving to focus on their studies as well as keeping the commandments.

I can’t say I was overly promiscuous in college, but comparing college students to monkeys that need to cover their bare asses is laughable. What’s disturbing is that there are college students out there that take these recommendations to heart!

500 Pounds Teenager

One of the feature stories on The Insider last night was a 500 pound teenager from the UK. Her self-esteem was non-existent, and at one point in the interview she said that she had never had a boyfriend because she is disgusting.

After much research and discussion with her family, she decided to proceed with a gastric surgery similar to lap-band ventura, where a portion of the stomach is sectioned off to retain a smaller amount of food. The surgery was risky, and there were complications, but it was successful.

When they followed up with the girl a few months after her surgery, she had lost 90 pounds and you could see in her face that she was much happier and that her self-esteem had improved. It’s really incredible how one brave decision and a surgical procedure saved her life.

Female Porn

I fully endorse porn. It can be tasteful (yeah right), artistic (uh huh), and a celebration of the human form (yeaaaah). Guys love Playboy and Hustler so why shouldn’t women enjoy a little porn for women*?

Sweeny Todd - confess to the Demon Barber

The adages of live and let live, let bygones by bygones, and forgive and forget serve me well in most cases, but sometimes, revenge is the best way to have closure on a situation. I’m not talking about criminal offenses or anything will ruin someone’s life. I’m talking about little jabs that make you feel better and cause just the slightest bit of inconvenience to your victim.

If you visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site, you’ll see what spurred all this talk of revenge. Sweeny Todd is a fictional character from 19th century literature that is being portrayed by Johnny Deep in the upcoming movie. A better actor could not have been cast as this barber turned serial killer who cut his victim’s throat with a straight razor and who’s lover, played by the incredible Helena Bonham Carter, baked the corpses into meat pies!

It sounds like a terrific movie and reminds me of another Johnny Depp movie, From Hell, where he plays Jack the Ripper. The whole dark and moody theme of the movie convinced me to confess to the Demon Barber my most vengeful moment, in which I recruited my boyfriend to be my accomplice.

I have no recollection of what spurred the fighting or why my freshman year roommate and I didn’t get along, but I knew her weak point, and that was her complexion. She had terrible acne and was highly self conscious. In my revenge, I had to play on this weaknes, so I stole her acne medication while she was in the shower, threw it in my boyfriend’s backpack, and instructed him to throw it in the dumpster on the way to class.

When she realized it was missing, she asked both of us numerous times if we had seen it, and we both played dumb, never letting on that we were the culprits…unless she reads my blog.

I know I’m not the only one that has succumbed to vengeful moments, so fess up, and visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace.

Christina Aguilera Naked

xtina1

Famous or not, I would be mortified to find out that my mother posed naked for Marie Claire magazine when she was pregnant with me.

It wasn’t sexy or artistic when Demi or Britney did it, and Christina isn’t changing that. So trashy.

I wonder if I can send Marie Claire an email asking them to not send me this month’s copy?
