Independent- This month's Paris lingerie show will show some high-tech ladies undergarments. If you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "my boobs can really benefit from better circulation and my ass is not getting enough protein," then the newest in panty and brassiere technology is for you.
A company called Lisca will show a bra with cups made from that NASA memory foam that "flows with body heat." (does this mean we can set a glass of red wine on one boob and it won't spill?) French lingerie brand, Milkshake, will introduce underwear fortified with amino acids and milk proteins which they claim hydrate the skin...that is until you have to wash them for the first time?
I have never thought about my boobs "looking old." But thanks, in addition to cankles, marionette lines, crows feet, turkey neck, cottage cheese thighs and all those other wonderful and derogatory terms we women are bombarded with, I now will wonder about the vitamin intake of my ba donka donk. I suppose these creations had the best of intentions...I guess.

Guardian - The UK Advertising Standards Association banned Johnson and Johnson's Clean and Clear acne treatment ads after deeming them misleading due to the make-up on the model in her "After" shot.
If the standards that the ASA are going by were applied to real life, then they would ban my face, and every other woman's face in the world for false advertising. If you watch these types of commercials and cosmetic advertisements and never think about the fact that these women have been touched up, then here is your big shocker: They are.
P.S. Brooke Shields doesn't not have hypotrichosis. Though, the eyelash drug, Latisse's invented definition of the disease would have you think she does and you do too. That is, if you want to talk about advertisements that need banned

Newsweek - The fashion blogs were all over it this week, joining in on the "fun" of women posting their bra colors in their Facebook status, under the guise of "breast cancer awareness."
A Newsweek blogger says what some of us were thinking, those of us that actually thought about what it meant to post the color of our lingerie: "I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of women who "flashed" all their friends yesterday had the best of intentions. Many of them walk in marathons for cancer research and buy all manner of pink-themed stuff; some of them even do the research to make sure the proceeds from the pink stuff are used responsibly. But this campaign is roughly equivalent to buying something—that just happens to be pink—from a company that gives zero to breast-cancer research, then claiming you're doing it for medical science. It's harmless, I guess, but also pointless."
I couldn't have said that better myself. And I'm adding this: before you decide to tease your male friends with "black lace and satin, " and say its for "breast cancer awareness" think about the people who actually might have lost someone due to a very unsexy, wretched, incurable and soul-crushing disease called cancer...which doesn't just happen in the breasts.
Whats next? Measuring penis size and posting it in your status? Oh, its okay, its for testicular cancer!

New York Times- As you know if you've been reading this blog, H&M was caught trashing new clothes in a dumpster. Now, the same reporter that broke the news is also calling out other corporations on their lack of donating and applauding those that do.
Though, really, wasn't H&M just cutting out the middle man by sending their clothes directly to the trash? I know my pleather pants ended up there.
I AM GOOD ENOUGH, I AM SMART ENOUGH...
