Dare I even say that the pictures of Paris Hilton in South Africa last week immediately reminded me of Princess Diana in Angola? Not to suggest that Paris’ visit was sincere in the slightest, but the photos resemble each other, and I’m sure that’s no coincidence (I work in PR, I get it).

I think it’s the nose.

Since my friend Laurie is walking to raise money for breast cancer research in the Dallas 3-Day later this year, the least the rest of us can do is make a donation and vow to take good care of our breasts! Not only does taking care of our breasts mean performing self exams, it means wearing proper lingerie! How do these two things go together? Well, the more women pay attention to their breasts, the earlier breast cancer can be detected and treated.

Being a bigger breasted girl, I’m very particular about my bras. They have to hold me up just right, not dig into my shoulders, and have more than a single clip in the back. I’ve had fabulous luck with Chantelle Bras, and every bra I own is from their line of handmade bras. That’s right, every bra has to be manually constructed by a seamstress to ensure strength, quality, and beauty.

These bras are more than just bras, they are body shapers. They change the way you look and feel in clothes, and if good bras make you pay a little more attention to you body and potentially aid in early detection of breast cancer, then they are well worth the money!

90% of the time I’m proud to say that I attended Ball State University in Muncie Indiana. Then a story like the one about a Muncie bar customer waking up inside a trash truck breaks and all I can do is shake my head.

The last thing William Bowen remembers is drinking with buddies at End Zone, a campus bar. He had no idea where he was or how he got there when he woke up inside the trash container of a commercial dump truck.

Before the driver compacted the trash, he heard William screaming and banging, and freed him from the trash container. Although he escaped one compacting, the driver is sure he was compacted at least once, as he pulled the lever shortly before adding trash at the location where William was discovered.

See…you’re shaking your head too, aren’t you?

THOMAS BEATIEI finally found a picture of Thomas Beatie, the US man claiming to be pregnant and it’s not as shocking as I thought it would be.

Clicked had a good point. Thomas isn’t so much a pregnant man as he is a pregnant woman on hormones with a double mastectomy.

I don’t need a closed captioning service to understand the tangled mess when you say it that way!

I think we should all take a moment (timed by our Patek Gondolo watches) and bow our heads and grieve the passing of Herb Peterson.68255.74Obit-Peterson

You may not know Herb by name, but he invented an item that millions can afford, enjoy, and recognize by name. The Egg McMuffin. The breakfast sandwich was a labor of love for Herb, stemming from his love of eggs Benedict.

Herb was originally the VP of D’Arcy Advertising, the Chicago firm that represented McDonald’s, and wrote the slogan “Where Quality Starts Fresh Every Day” which ended up being McDonald’s very first national advertising slogan. Herb eventually owned and operated six McDonald’s franchises in California.
