Who knew a fashion show with wigs could be so much fun? Charlie Le Mindu rocked it out on the runway giving an otherwise dull category his signature touch.

I’m wearing this one right now.

Not into wearing a gas mask infused wig? Doesn’t matter because that isn’t the point, the point is to get our attention and put him on our radar. Mission accomplished.

This is Definitely Not the Peach Smoothie I Ordered…

Posted on

Well there go my good feelings about juicing. Apparently getting a ‘Peach Smoothie’ is the new hot accessory to the must-have Brazilian wax (going completely bare down there to the lay person). It’s a facial for your lady business, or a ‘Vagacial’ as they’re calling it and Alex Kuczynski bravely reported what hers was like for Harper’s Bazaar.

Nope, it isn’t this

Aztec Secrets Indian Healing Clay – World’s Most Powerful Facial…

Posted on

It’s not that I was in the market for another clay mask, but it wasn’t possible for me to walk past a giant tub with a label attached claiming to be the “world’s most powerful facial,” and also read that you’d be able to “feel your face pulsate!”

And it was only $8.

Inside of this 1 pound tub is the real deal – 100% natural Calcium Bentonite, a green clay that’s been used to clean and detoxify the skin for thousands of years. The amount included will allow me to mix mud masks for probably the next 10 years, 5 if I’m using it for body wraps like they also suggest doing.

I found it at Vitamin Cottage, I’ve probably walked right past it 100 times.

You’ve seen this right? 
A glimpse of the powder, it’s completely unscented too which I really like.

I didn’t mind making the paste, it was easy to scoop a small amount into a bowl and add some cider vinegar (their recommendation and great for tightening pores) which activated and awakened the clay making it temporarily bubble.

I opted for a thicker paste, the usual consistency for a clay mask like this.

And then it happened. Sure enough my face was pulsating. Every little heartbeat pulled my skin tighter and tighter until it was dry and ready to be removed. When I walked back into the bathroom, I wanted to laugh at how crazy my face looked but I couldn’t move it.

See how it’s pulling the skin under my eye down?

I swear if it were clear I’d wear it under makeup daily, like a face lift you brush on.

So since it’s just us girls, and my vanity left me years ago,  it’s totally worth showing how crazy my whole face looked.

Doing my best ‘droopy’ face. 

Ok, here’s the thing – the overall softness and glow my skin had after I took it off was pretty remarkable. It cleans out pores better than a ton masks out there for a lot less money and no impure chemicals. According to their (really bad) website, the clay contains ‘almost every mineral found on Earth’ and the negatively charged clay pulls out the positively charged toxins and pollutiants in the skin. I’ll go ahead and skip the 25 minutes of Googling to see if that’s true and just believe them.

Don’t let my sad, droopy face fool you, I loved this mask. You can find it on Amazon (where you can also read some great reviews), or at a Vitamin Cottage, Whole Foods, and other health food stores.

What is Vattooing??

Posted on

Bryce Gruber of TheLuxurySpot.com and Vajazzling fame has uncovered the latest trend in vaginal adornment because placing crystals in fun patterns and shapes on your freshly waxed love tunnel a’la Vajazzling is so last season. Introducing Vattooing, an airbrushed application replaces the crystals and gives a less prickly 7-day ‘look’ to dress up your otherwise colorless and boring pleasure garden.

You have to watch the vid and see an application, if only to check out the girl at the spa talking about ‘avoiding friction’ to help the tattoo stay on longer. Talk about all dressed up and nowhere to go! In a fun twist, the girl on the vid gets a spider and a cob web. Nothing says ‘hotbed of sexual activity’ like having a dusty ol’ cobweb down there. She admits to  not entertaining company south of the border in a long time so it is indeed symbolic. The whole this is priceless.

Kudos to Bryce and the girls for another great vid.
