The Most Disgusting, Heinous Things We Put On Our Skin In The Name Of Beauty

Bird droppings, placenta, snail slime…. It’s not a page from Papa Smurf’s spell-casting playbook, but a list of what could be, should be or is part of your beauty regimen.

Would You Rock: Zombie High Heels?

I love ‘em. Would I rock ‘em? I’m not so sure. UK retailer Iron Fist offers these Zombie Stomper Platform Peep-Toes for £44.99 or around $90. The day-glo green and hot pink whomper-stompers come with a 4-1/2-inch heel plus a 1-inch platform, so they’re not for the shy, dainty, or wobbly. Over the peep-toe, there’s a zombie’s row of exposed teeth and the side of the shoe features a crazed zombie eyeball — all of which is countered by the neat black bow near the heel, if you like to look flirty while you eat human flesh. Or, as the website puts it, “Perfect for stompin’ on zombies … and men’s hearts.” These blue babylon heels are pretty freak, too. So, would you rock ‘em? [Boing Boing] Keep reading »

Crave: Postcards From Yo Momma, The Book!

One of our favorite blogs from the past year is Postcards From Yo Momma, which features reader submitted notes, emails, letters, and texts from real mothers. And as is the trend these days, the blog has now been turned into a book called, Love, Mom: Poignant, Goofy, Brilliant Messages from Home, edited by Doree Shafir and Jessica Grose. It’s the perfect gift for Mom this Mother’s Day, obviously, but it’s also great for a laugh, especially if you’re lucky enough to have a mom who emails gems like:

“I know you don’t much like Oprah, but she had an interesting segment last night about “gas”, and what can be done about it. Two things I remember are eating more slowly (that lets less air in through your mouth when you are in the process of eating), and cutting down on carbonated beverages while you are eating…. Okay, I’ll stop now.”
