Pink - it was love at first sight!
Pink, it's not even a question
Pink, on the lips of your lover
'Cause pink is the love you discover
Pink, as the bing on your cherry
Pink, 'cause you are so very
Pink, it's the color of passion
'Cause today it just goes with the fashion
Darling its better, Down where its wetter
The Katy Perry was transformed into a mermaid for new ad for ghd's Air hairdryer, shot by photographer David LaChapelle.
Ok....stay with me here....why does a mermaid need a HAIR DRYER??? Absurdity aside, I love the photo.
Katy is no stranger to both wacky and glamorous looks and Disney movies so its no shock that is keeping the mermaid costume as an option for next Halloween.
Katy shot the ad back in July when "planking" was still happening and tweeted a photo of herself, planking in full costume. She tweeted, "PROPER planking FTW! #itswhatArielwoulddo."
She loves sausage
It was inevitable....
If you build it....
This is both awesome and disgusting. But what is actually just plain impressive is that not all the food could make it into the stadium!

Lips like Jagger?
The Rolling Stones Fan Museum in Germany is under fire from feminists who have taken issue with the museum's urinals.
The urinals in question are in the shape of a juicy pair of red lips - the iconic Rolling Stones logo (originally modelled off Mick Jagger's iconic pout and created in 1971 by art designer John Pasche).
However, the urinals look less like Jaggers androgynous jaw and appear more womanly. Also, there is no tongue included in the design. Men are peeing into them. And women are pissed. No pun intended :)
Oddly enough, the urinals were designed by a woman - Dutch artist Meike van Schijndel of 'Bathroom Mania'. Should this fact affect whether a work is viewed as sexist? Or are we blaming van Schijndel for internalized sexism?
And as usual, the Kardashian family is only a stones throw away from feminist controversy. Khloe Kardashian recently is said to have purchased one of van Schijndel's mouth-shaped urinals for her own home.
The museum owner, Ulli Schroder, replied to the controversy: "That's not a man's mouth or a woman's mouth, that's art. They were damned expensive and they're staying where they are and that's final."
What do you think? Is labeling something as 'art' an excuse to produce something offensive without consequence? Or do you want a lip-lined urinal of your own, consequences be damned?

"I like to be a free spirit. Some don't like that, but that's the way I am." – Princess Diana.
Even if this isn't one of my favorite dresses, Princess Di's wedding dress is one of the most iconic bridal gowns in the history of fashion.
The David and Elizabeth Emanuel-designed gown, which features 10,000 mother-of-pearl sequins and pearls and a 25-foot train, debuts Saturday as part of the "Diana: A Celebration" exhibit at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., which will run through June 10.
FYI, in true diva fashion, Diana also had a backup wedding gown in case the design of the first one had leaked.
In addition to the bridal gown from Diana's 1981 wedding, the traveling exhibit includes 28 of Diana's designer dresses, family heirlooms and personal keepsakes like home movies and photos. Now THAT I would love to see!
Not sure if this exhibit is coming to NYC anytime soon but if it does you can bet I will be in line!

Pill-pocalypse
Soooo...if they don't prevent pregnancy, shouldn't we just call them "one-a-day FAIL" pills?
The pills in questions are called Lo/Ovral-28, Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol. Some of the recalled packages contain too many active pills while others don't contain enough. Whoopsie-daisy! Pfizer's calling it a "packaging error" but it's more like buying a new pair of shoes only to bring them home and discover there's only one shoe in the box...and then they get you pregnant.
What are the chances this is just an elaborate scheme to sell more EPT pregnancy tests - also made by Pfizer.

For My Peeps
I've done my best to avoid the "seasonal" aisle in drug stores - now filled with heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and dancing gorillas that proclaim "I'm Wild for You." But I couldn't seem to walk past these little cuties!
Peeps has released their new flavor just in time for the most loved/hated holiday of the year. These candies combine strawberry-creme flavored marshmallow with chocolate - available in both creamy milk chocolate and rich dark chocolate.
There's a monster under my bed
I can't guarantee that these sheets will get you laid. In fact, they might kill the mood -no pun intended. But this bedding is hysterical!
It’s Alive bedding surrounds you with reaching zombie arms and blood stains. Add a touch of fear (just a pillow case) or a heaping serving of it (your entire bed set) to your boudoir.
I heart bull dogs :)
Imma Merk It
Former Real Housewife of New York and owner of Completely Bare spas, Cindy Barshop, is hocking fox fur (and neon feather) bikini treatments (merkins) to women in Manhattan.
Spa Week went behind the scenes at Cindy's spa to see just what goes into the new and controversial Foxy Bikini and Carnivale Bikini. Try not to vom :)
After a wax (or a laser treatment), the technician glues the fur or feathers onto your crotch....yep, that's right. After a trim, a few extra touches, and $225, your nether regions become transformed.
Think this sounds fab? Well, PETA doesn't. They’ve already denounced the treatment as frivolous and cruel to animals.
Don't Worry. You Won't Feel a Thing
Scientists may have discovered a new form of male birth control, which the media is calling the "testicular zap!"
According to the BBC, the ball zap is currently available only to rats - no human trials yet. Scientists put rodents in warm salt water and then fired ultrasound at their testicles — like a testicular ray gun. Success? Kind of. The zap reduced their sperm count to less than 10 million sperm per milliliter (which would be considered "sub-fertile" in humans).
However, researchers still aren't sure if the zap will damage sperm or fertility permanently, or if it could lead to birth defects in subsequent kids.
And of course whenever there's a discussion of male birth control method, there is also discussion about whether or not men will be willing to use it. Unlike women, men aren't used to the idea of modifying their body chemistry as a method of birth control. Especially if it involves zapping. Or needles (men in India already have access to an effective reversible birth control, in the form of a shot to the scrotum). Which would you prefer? :)
I'm so hood
Bill Belichick's lucky hoodie has become a long standing New England tradition (and superstition). As plain it may be, the gray hoodie is definitely a good luck piece. I am reminded that the Pats fell to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII when the Belli switched up his wardrobe and went with a red hoodie instead of the traditional gray version.
And as we get pumped up for a Super Sequel with the Giants, one fan decided to use the famous wardrobe selection as inspiration for baking. This Belichick hoodie cupcake was recently posted on the New England Patriots Facebook fan page.
Leapfroggin'
King James came swooping in from the right, caught an alley-oop pass from Dwayne Wade...with one hand...in mid-air. Then slammed it down OVER the Bulls' John Lucas. Yes, OVER.
In your face. Disgrace.
While John Lucas was certainly not the tallest guy on the court, he does stand 5' 11" and jumping OVER any individual during a game for a dunk is just plain impressive. I'm not a big Lebron fan, but I'm almost convinced he is actually worth every cent of his multi-million dollar contract because that was pretty cool. I wonder if John Lucas would agree...
The Heat went on to beat the Bulls, 97-93.
Other awesome, over-the-top dunks include Michael Jordan's dunk over Patrick Ewing and Vince Carter's dunk at the Olympics.

Fresh haircut, clean shave with the razor
Schick's new Hydro Silk razor is blowing my mind...at least as much as a razor possibly can.
Hydro Silk is Schick's first five-bladed razor for women, and each blade is mounted individually for better movement around curvy parts, making it harder to nick your knees and ankles.
I think that coolest part is that the razor fights irritation and dry skin with a water-activated serum that sits in tiny reservoirs. So, you moisturize as you shave. Whoa.
Keep an eye on Hydro Silk's Facebook page, where I heard you can score free samples from time to time.
Apple Bottom Jeans, Boots with the Fur
A Pennsylvania middle school have banned Ugg boots - not because they are ugly, but because students were hiding cell phones in their boots.
The new ban includes all "outdoor, open top boots, but the biggest culprits are Uggs. Boots that lace up and are tight at the ankle are still OK and students may continue to wear outdoor boots to and from school to protect them from cold but need to change into a pair of sneakers or shoes before entering homeroom.
