New in 2011: Anti-Cellulite iPANT (Wacoal America)

*New Shapewear coming January 26, 2011*  

Browsing one of my favorite websites, I came across something interesting: new shapewear from Wacoal called the iPANT.  What is most intriguing about this product is that it includes cosmetic microcapsules.  According to Wacoal, these microcapsules release firming ingredients to help the skin fight fat accumulation and cellulite.  The ingredients:  caffeine, retinal, ceramides, vitamin E, fatty acids, and aloe vera are released in the skin -- in a controlled manner, throughout the day.  Interestingly enough, the iPANT is marketed as having a long lifetime continuing to release ingredients AND maintain it's shape after 100 washes. My question is, would you buy this product? Check out the video below and let me know your thoughts.

Video: The Homeless Man with a Golden Voice

Columbus, Ohio -- The Columbus Dispatch initially reported this fantastic story about a homeless man fallen on hard times who wanted to share his gift -- the gift of a golden voice.  Ted Williams panhandling on the streets of Columbus, Ohio only wanted a dollar or two and a job.  Ladies and gentlemen, the video has gone viral.  Countless offers are coming in nationwide.  The Cleveland Cavaliers has offered Mr. Williams a full-time job and a home -- more media outlets: MTV, ESPN, The National Football League, West coast talent agents, voice coaches and syndicated talk shows are all interested in speaking with Mr. Williams.  If you haven't already listened to his voice, check out the video and as always, Enjoy!

Target Stores and Fire Marshall Bill - Can I Help You Find Something?

Browsing Target the other day I was approached by an employee asking if they can help me find something.  This experience had me thinking ...

Video: Nike Basketball - LeBron Rise

Nike Basketball video -- LeBron James.  The message: the difference between the expectations others may have of him versus the expectations he has of himself.  The madness behind producing this video stems from the controversy surrounding his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and play for the Miami Heat (July 2010) -- and, naturally to promote his line with Nike. Side note: the video includes a line from Dr. Maya Angelou's poem, "Still I Rise." As always, enjoy!

One of my favorite Sammy Davis, Jr songs. Location: Broadway's Best at Pops performance (1987) - Golden Rainbow.  Can you spot Sammy's bling? OK, I'll give you ONE hint: check out his hair - it's blinging my friends!! All kidding aside, I noticed NINE sparkly things -- he chuckles while putting on the last sparkly item. Enjoy!

Another classic Dove film. Directed by Tim Piper (Post) and Yael Staav, (live action). The message: "No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted."

Video: The Muppet Show - Mahna Mahna and the Snowths

This cracks me up. The muppet with the sunglasses wants to sing more than 'Mahna Mahna' - the Snowths (two furry pink muppets) are not having it. Every time he tries to add something to it, the other two stop signing the jingle and immediately stare at him until he returns to singing only -- Mahna Mahna. Enjoy!
