A Miracle for the Busty!

Leave it to Maidenform to unveil a breakthrough Backless Bra for those of us that are....um...busty. This amazing bra was designed by Elaine Cato, who appeared on the ABC show, American Inventor. Though she didn't win the $1 million grand prize; she managed to take home an even greater reward...a contract to manufacture her bra for Maidenform.

The 6-in-1 convertible bra was designed to be worn with strapless, backless, halter, or anything else that requires the avoidance of unsightly bra straps. What's even greater, is that the bra ranges in sizes from 34B through 38DD. Cato said that it was designed with the full-figured woman in mind.

YEEHAW...there is a God!

Brazil When It's Hot!

I remember a conversation my friends and I had over dinner. One of us (whom shall remain nameless) stated that she needed to feel sexy again because of personal difficulties she was experiencing. In most instances, when I woman needs a personal makeover, the first thing to change is the hair. Well, guess what, this was no different. She went on to say, "I had it all removed." "What?" We inquired. "My hair down there...I had a brazilian!" She went on to say that it makes her feel so sexy. "It's my own little secret."

Everyone looked at each other in amazement. Wondering if the procedure hurt was the biggest question that needed answering. So as not to offend anyone, the process was described with great sensitivity. We all looked at one another and expressed our own opinion on the matter-at-hand. Most stating that they wouldn't dare put themselves through such pain and embarrassment.

Needless to say, many months later, another one of the girls decided to take the plunge and visit good 'ol Brazil. Would you say...Ouch or Oooooh!

Ebay Pays Big for Selling Counterfeit Goods

A French court ordered eBay to pay the luxury goods giant, Louis Vuitton and other high-end designers, around $63.2 million for selling counterfeit items on its online auction site, and for selling genuine products outside their desired retail channel. Ebay was ordered to stop selling the items immediately or face a fine of $79,000 a day...OUCH!

Usually I'm for the under-dog, but in this case, I'm not quite sure who the under-dog is. Ohhh yes...I'm the under-dog...Me and all the poor victims, whom unknowingly, purchased counterfeit goods. I too, fell victim to this fraud and I was furious. I was told that a pair of Kate Spade shoes were authentic; when they, in fact, were not! I felt so violated.

I still enjoy shopping on eBay, however, I have learned to be a lot more discerning when choosing designer goods.
