What The French Toast?

Sorry, readers it's soapbox day today.

I'm not sure if I am more disgusted or sad about this. 

Abercrombie & Stupid (I have never liked this company) have now come out with a push up bra bathing suit for little girls.  I'm talking about LITTLE girls around 7 years old. 

I mean come on!  Who was the sicko that came out with this idea and who was the idiot that approved it?!?!?

I'm sorry, but with all the adult images kids are exposed to these days they are growing up so much faster than when I was a child (which really was not that long ago).  Then to go and tell little girls that they should be worried about their bodies in a sexual way, just puts the nail in the coffin. 

If you go to this link you can read a bit more about it.  Then if you go here you can see for yourself on their site.

Now, I am not sure if they are doing this for publicity just so people will go to their site or what.  I realize they have always tried to, in their words "push the envelope", I just think it is an excuse to try and push sex in everyone's faces.

What are your feelings?  Are you as outraged as I am?

What the French Toast????

I don't even know what to say people.  I saw this commercial and couldn't believe my eyes.  Anyone else think this is very disturbing?  



The only thing I could think of was, "What The French Toast?!?!?!?!".

I swear, I should become an advertising executive.  If these are the kind of ideas that get approved and people get paid for, then I am in the wrong profession.

What The French Toast?

Say whats!

I wish I could see these in person, maybe Bed Bath and Beyond will get them soon.

I would also like to know if these would pass my works dress code policy.



Would you try them?  If you did, would you keep feeling yourself up like the ladies in the video?  That made me a bit uncomfortable.  I was waiting for a man to ring the doorbell and say he was the pool boy.

I'm thinking these "pants" are gonna be seen a lot in the People of WalMart website soon.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this will be a new "Snuggie" phenom.  Although I might go to an extra church service to beg that it does not happen.

What the French Toast????

I'm all for new trends and out there styles, but these?  Really???

Teva has come up with these "hiking" heels.

Who came up with these in the brainstorming meeting, and who in the world thought it was a good enough idea to make them?!?!?!?!

These bring flashbacks of middle school, when every 13 year old boy wore these with white socks and Umbro shorts were a staple in everyone's closet.  Remember that? I know you do!

Three reasons as to why these are just wrong:

1.  If you are wearing these heels while "hiking", you really aren't "hiking", and I'm pretty sure if wore these, you will be carried back with two sprained ankles.

2.  They about as bad as when hiking boots had heels.  (Thank you J-Lo for that horrible fashion trend.)

3.  I believe the cardinal rule still applies here, NO SOCKS WITH SANDALS!!!.

Oh yes, did I mention they cost $330.00????? 

Thoughts??? 

What the French Toast?

Ok, so I guess I am the only one in the world not on the whole bacon bandwagon.  I don't have anything against it, it's just not one of the foods I must have or drool over. Not a big fan of pork chops or ham, not sure why.  It just doesn't tickle my fancy.

Husband on the other hand is a big supporter of bacon, I swear sometimes it feels as if we are the sole supporters of the bacon industry. 

There is a huge movement for bacon I have noticed, everything from Bakon vodka (yes, seriously)

Bacon Mints (say whaaaa...)

And yes, people bacon lube, I thought it was a joke, but noooooo.  It's a real thing. 

Whilst perusing at the grocery store the other day as I was deciding on whether to get the good fat free air popped healthy popcorn or the super duper drenched in extra movie theater butter popcorn.  I obviously went with the butter.  Mmmmmm...

So anyways, as I was in the middle of making one of the hardest decisions I would have to make that week, I came across this:

What the French Toast???? 

(Side note, I just realized that the bacon lube and popcorn are made by the same company)

Any thoughts? Any of you bacon lovers??? Would you try this?

What the French Toast?

Sigh, I really don't know how to begin this post, so I will just let you watch the video first.



It's not that I have anything against older women, "gettin' theirs", but come on.  This commercial just makes the website seem sleezy.  This is not the version that I saw on tv the other week, it is even worse than this one.  Yes, it is possible.

Here is the one I saw on tv, I could not find a better version so I apologize for the quality.




Sigh...


Come on people!  These are about as bad as the commercials that come on late at night.  You know what I'm talking about.  "Hi, I'm Candy, call me if you need someone to talk to."  Riiiiight Candy, I'm sure you just want to "talk".

What the French Toast????

I found this picture and now am on a manhunt to find this! 

I don't know if I have ever publicly professed my love for Nutella.  Well, today is the day.  I love this deliciously hazel nutty, chocolaty mouth watering treat.  I love it so much, that I cannot have a jar in the house, otherwise I will eat it.  The whole thing. 

So, of course when I found this item, I almost dropped my laptop. 

LOVE!

What the French Toast????

Sigh.

I don't know why I am surprised when I see something like this. 

Really?  Why don't you just drink straight from the bottle?  Or is that not tasteful, but pouring a whole bottle of wine into a glass, and then drinking the whole thing is very classy.  The woman in the ad seems to be laughing as if she can't believe this item is real either. 

I have yet to watch the video online.  I don't know if I want to. 

Would you purchase this?  I can't hate on anyone who would though, I am a sucker for some of those infomercial items out there.  Such as the shake weight.  (Yes, I know.)  There will be a blog posting about that coming soon.

I also curious about the type of person who came up with this idea.  I am also upset that I didn't come up with it first and made a truckload of cash.  Such as the snuggie or the slanket.  You know what I'm talking about.

What the French Toast????

I got the idea for this blog post from reading and learning about the Camel Flage, at one of the cutest blogs Poodleism.  When you read her post you will understand.  

As I was flipping through the channels one early morning, you know when it is still too early for real shows to be on so there are 5 gazillion infomercials.  (This is where I first learned of the Snuggie as well.)  I came across this:





What the french toast?????  Cami Secret??? (I have included the link, just in case there was someone who really did want one, sigh)  Have we learned nothing from the mock turtleneck dickey fiasco from the 80's (even into the 90's for some)???  Why don't these women just buy the right size shirt????

Ok, so I know it's an informercial and yes, they over exaggerate to no end, but this one just bugs me for some reason???? 

Also, can a struggling actor really get any real work after starring in an infomercial?  Would they even bring a reel like this to an audition? I know I wouldn't, it would be my little dark dirty secret.  Something that if I was to run for office one day I could be blackmailed by someone in possession of this tape.  Almost as embarrassing as a sex tape, no wait maybe even more, because you can look sexy in a sex tape, in an infomercial you just look like a fool.  LIKE A FOOL!

Say Whaaaaaa.....

Gross. 

Just gross.

There are just no other word to describe this new KFC Double Down "sandwich".  I use the word sandwich very loosley considering that this "sandwich" is a few pieces of cheese with bacon, and instead of bread, no no, there are two breaded chicken breasts. I repeat, it is a "sandwich" with two breaded chicken patties as the bun.
Now, I am gonna let that sink in for a minute.
Really? Really?

Was someone high as a kite and thinking of what munchies they wanted and came up with this monstrosity that people are putting into their bodies?????  Now, don't get me wrong, I am all for yummy junk food and I do have strange cravings.  But come on!  None of my go to comfort foods can give me a heart attack from just smelling the darn thing.  Here is the description from their website, "The new KFC Double Down sandwich is real! This one-of-a-kind sandwich features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe® or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel's Sauce. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun!"
Did you notice the "It's Here!" wording?  As if the whole world was waiting with baited breath until this magnificent creature came into fruition. Also the description from the website says, "...it's real..", as if the company can't believe they created this...this..."sandwich".
I mean, I guess if you are on Atkins then this "sandwich" is a godsend.  I feel like I am having a heart attack just writing about the darn thing.  Um, hello clogged arteries! 
Now, I am not trying to bash KFC,  I do love me some 10 piece bucket with biscuits.  But, where does the line stop? I guess this is one thing that I am just never going to understand.
