Pop Culture Potpourri: Fashion Disaster and Cable Gets Cut

This sue happy world just gets more ridiculous by the minute… If you tuned into NBC’s “Today” show yesterday you likely know where I’m going with this blog. A woman in California who apparently loves (or perhaps more accurately lovED) Victoria’s Secret has filed a lawsuit with the lucrative lingerie company after she claims a faulty staple linking a jeweled-heart embellishment to a pair of her thong underwear seriously injured her eye. According to Marcrida Patterson, she suffered permanent damage to her cornea after an allegedly defective “low-rise v-string” (part of Victoria’s Secret’s “Sexy Little Thing” line) flew apart and … Continue reading →

Spicing Up Victoria’s Secret and Bye-Bye Femmes

SPICING UP VICTORIA’S SECRET There’s nothing like one-stop shopping. Though, I’m not sure how I feel about CDs being featured in the same display as underwire bras. Leave it to the Spice Girls to spice up an already hot store. The all-female group recently announced it plans to partner with lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret to sell their new 15-track album. The sexy pop group’s deal to sell their Greatest Hits album is exclusive. Which means you can forget about looking for the yet to be released CD at traditional music stores. The singers’ rationale behind the one-of-a-kind deal: “They do … Continue reading →

The Children’s Place Outlet – $10 off $30

Every parent of a small child knows that kids’ clothes are way overpriced! That’s especially true for those items that don’t hold up to normal kid wear. This is one place that buying cheaper isn’t necessarily better (did I just write that?). If you’re lucky enough to find garage sale clothes that fit your kids, fantastic! Or maybe you know someone whose children are a little older than yours and they hand them all down to you. When Jenna was small, we had friends whose daughter was two sizes larger than she was. It was great to get Minerva’s surprise … Continue reading →

Marriage: It’s Okay to Lose it…

Yep. It’s definitely okay. In fact, it’s a great idea to lose it… IF we’re talking about that old, drab flannel nightgown! What are you wearing? Those footsy pajamas were cute when you were eight and that flannel gown will work when you’re eighty. Those sweats are perfect for stretching and getting some exercise, but very few of these get-ups have any appeal for your husband. Of course, nobody’s going to look like she stepped out of the Victoria’s Secret catalog all the time, and we need comfy stuff to wear, but most of us could also stand to inject … Continue reading →

Cute Adult Rugby Shirt for $3.99 at The Children’s Place

Did you know that The Children’s Place also sells adult clothes? Well, a few pieces, anyway. These rugby shirts came out in sizes for the whole family. The idea was for matching outfits. Apparently, they sold more children’s than adults because the adult ones have been marked way down to only $3.99 from $24.50. My favorite one is the one that’s pictured here. It reminds me of Joseph’s coat of many colors! You can get a matching or contrasting scarf for another $1.99. They still have sizes left in children’s and adults, so for less than $8 you can be … Continue reading →

Victoria’s Secret Slippers for $3.99

Tell the truth. Do you sit at your computer in your robe and slippers, with your coffee to the left of your keyboard? Doesn’t everybody? No? Um, I mean, I certainly don’t, but thought there might be somebody who did. I’m here dressed to the nines with my hair done, nylons and shoes on.

The shipping is $6, so you’ll probably want to get several pairs to spread out the cost. … Continue reading →
