As Seen on TV (Handy Gadgets for All)

One of the bummers about being sick is that you're stuck at home all day in bed with just the TV for company.  Now, I am fond of spending the day lounging about, but I definitely don't enjoy the queazy feeling going on in my stomach.  

While watching "Project Runway" reruns on Bravo, I saw this handy little gadget called a Bumpit.  

Who needs the WaaLaa comb when you can have a Bumpit?  {Pretty sure I saw a woman at the airport wearing one of these, but her hair looked more like a hot mess than anything else.}  

Oh, and a word to the wise::  Bumpits are not edible!  (It actually says this on their website. Hmmm...  interesting.  Makes me wonder if someone picked one up and thought, "Wow.  This looks tasty."  I guess we'll never know.)


Also seen while watching Bravo:: Easy Curves.

No more pinching and scrimping pennies to save up for that costly breast augmentation surgery.  No, siree!  You can get the Easy Curves device for a mere $9.99.  That's a bargain. Pretty sure it works, too.  (I'll let you know.  Mine should be here in about 6 weeks.)

I think that everyone could use this next product, as seen on the DIY Network:: 


My parents actually purchased some of these and they truly do work.  No lie!  Seriously thinking about getting myself some.

Those Bumpits sound cool...if they work and don't end up looking like a piece of plastic stuck to the top of your head! Guess I'll have to give them a try!...and I don't see how they could look "edible" to anyone! Glad you had a Wonderful White Christmas...still waiting for our snow here on Long Island. Ny up-state gets dumped on and us here on the coast get rain......come on! wishing you a Very Happy New Year! =)

I don't really understand why someone would want a giant bump of hair on the back of their head.

My stylist loves the backcomb the crap out of my hair, and I hate it!!!

Martha,
So this has nothing to do with the blog but since I don't have your e-mail address...I just had to tell you that right this minute I have contacts in my eyes!!! I only just got them yesterday and they are daily wear ones so who knows if I will have them in when/if I see you this weekend at Su Casa... but I thought you should be one of the first to know since you kinda helped talk me into them!! :)

I remember seeing a picture of mom in her high school yearbook with one of those "Bumpits". In fact, most of the women from the 50/60's had one. WTH? They say that fashion trends are cyclic. Can't wait for parachute pants to come back...

I've never seen that bumpit commercial, but I'm pretty sure I've seen girls wearing them all over the state of Utah.

I agree with Travis...When are parachute pants coming back. Everyone needs that much fabric between their legs. It is awesome! I loved the Editible warning... The sad thing is that they probably had someone eat it and they had to pay out big bucks to the person because they got really sick or something. All because, they did not have that warning on the product. So, now for all those consumers that take the short bus, there will be no question. Maybe that go it mixed up with Bundt Cake or something.

LOL at your mom!!

Bumpit. Here I have been wasting my money on Big Sexy Hair's freeze in place hair spray. Now I know the secret.

My 7 year old tells me all the time to buy everything in those TV ads. He believes them all and can repeat them to me word for word. They should pay him for his advertising skills.

Hi Martie....now I haven't seen you in a few years but I thought you already had the Bumpit. You have always been so far ahead of the trends! WOW! Impressive!

Now, I'm just sayin..., but wouldn't Easy Curves be more marketable if it was called the Bumpit? or maybe even the BumpTit? Even saggie 'girls' have curves but the curves are headed in the wrong direction. You gals want them out and proud.

I also think it is disheartening to know that an absorbant towel has a 10 year warranty and there is no mention of the Easy Curves even having an 18 hour bra guarantee.

I need to search blogs for guys that have been disappointed by finding a curvacious woman wearing Easy Curves and then later on being 'utterly' confused wondering what the heck happened. I'll keep you posted.

So I could have great hair and a sexier bust? Woo-hoo! Can you imagine walking around with all those devices on and in to make you look good? I think NOT!
