Ménage à trois, anyone?

Just you, me and the love rug.

A shower fit for a queen...

A really tacky queen.

I mean, I love a chandelier and I love a shower, but this might be a bit much. Plus, is this even safe?

Like, wow...

This is truly unbelievable. A super-genius, named Amit Goffer, has invented the ReWalk. This is a device that actually allows paraplegics to walk! Observe:

The system, which requires crutches to help with balance, consists of motorized leg supports, body sensors and a back pack containing a computerized control box and rechargeable batteries.

The user picks a setting with a remote control wrist band -- stand, sit, walk, descend or climb -- and then leans forward, activating the body sensors and setting the robotic legs in motion.

This makes me so happy to be alive in the 21st century. It is amazing that someone who thought that they could never walk again, can actually have the opportunity to do just that. Thank you, science, thank you.

What in the hair?

It seems to be that time of year again when I start to get bored with my hair. This leads to me peruse the web and look for the "perfect" new style. Typically, I don't find much which is why I have had a variation on the same style for about 6 years now. I did manage to find a great resource for new inspiration at the Hairdresser's Journal website. There are thousands of photos to browse through and you can narrow your search by length, color and even decade. Some of the styles from past decades are insane! Check out this updo from the 50's:


Yikes! And this updo from 1969 is no better!


Hilarious!!! And the 70's did hair no favors...


and then...


Holy moly. All of this makes me start to think that my hair looks pretty good.

But just to show you that current styles can be just as out of control, take a look at the "striped series":


Although, I must admit that I think there is something kind of cool about this look. But these next ones take it to a whole other level:





I could seriously do this all night. I suggest you check out the gallery yourself and if you find a look you think I might like, please e-mail it to me!

What a difference 2 months can make.

I don't typically talk about celebrities on this blog (although I must admit "celebrity" is a bit of a stretch in these particular cases), but when I realized that Ali Lohan and Dakota Fanning are only 2 months apart in age I had to share this shocking news.

Observe how 14 years can look so dramatically different:

Dakota - February 23, 1994

Ali - December 22, 1993

All I can say is wow. Oh, and what's wrong with Ali's face?

Toasty!

I love toast. It's a simple breakfast, but so satisfying. My favorite is peanut butter and honey. Yum! If you love toast, too, then you may be interested in checking out the Toaster Museum . I had no idea there were so many ways to heat up a piece of bread! And so stylishly at that. Here are some of my favs:

This the Clem in yellow. He's British and about 80 years old!

This is the T22. His name isn't nearly as cute as Clem's, but I like his lines. And he looks pretty good for a 68 year old Canadian.

This is the Maybaum, and it reminds less of a toaster and more of one of those old school microphones....
I wonder if this microphone was made in Germany, too?

Anyway, enjoy the museum and save an egg ... Eat Toast!

God Bless You!

I just realized that one of my favorite blogs, The Sneeze, is back after a long hiatus. I laughed out loud in the first 60 seconds. He is a comic genius! Check it out!
