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.
