Pyramid Collection refers to their "Plus Size" clothes as "Goddess" Sizes. HUZZAH!!

So now I'm a "Goddess?!" I love it! I got my latest Pyramid Collection catalog in the mail last week (*victory stance*) and as always, sooooo many pretty things! But what really caught my eye in this catalog was not an object. On every other page it says: "Goddess Sizes Available at No Extra Cost!"

O.O Eureka! I love it!
1.) Clothes were not referred to as "PLUS SIZES," they are referred to as GODDESS sizes.
2.) No extra cost for an XL or XXXXL! How AWESOME is that!!!

Just another reason why I love The Pyramid Collection. They won my affection and willingness to spend my entire paycheck by proclaiming my morbid deformity as divine beauty! (Someone call the NAAFA, we have a winner!)

Speaking of which, I think using the term "morbid" in that sense as a medical term is horrible, but I'm not getting on top of my soap box for that right now. My BMI is only one tick from being classified as clinically "Morbidly Obese." They can kiss my Goddess-sized left butt cheek.

Go shopping--> www.pyramidcollection.com. Right in the middle of the page is where they have a special section for "Goddess Plus Sizing." It does say "Plus," but I'm overlooking it now because they think I'm a Goddess!

I think I like this "me being a goddess" talk. Of course, the BF has referred to me as a Goddess too, that's how he got uber brownie points.

Avon's Newest Product Closely Resembles the T-Virus from Resident Evil.

Last Friday my Avon lady gave me the new Campaign 7 catalog (March 2009) featuring their newest product. My first reaction: "OMG Avon is selling the T-Virus!" 

Then the Umbrella Commercial ad for Resident Evil: Apocalypse started playing in my head.

The product is called Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum, and it looks EXACTLY like the T-Virus from Resident Evil. Needless to say, my Avon Rep wasn't amused when I tried to explain the humor in it. Plus, my co-workers looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears when I went all "geek" about it.

But let's compare shall we?

I don't see any difference! Even the "doctor" placed in the Avon ad sells the whole "Umbrella scientist look." All she needs now is a little Umbrella logo on her lab coat.

The comparison hasn't gone unnoticed by far. It's been all over the internet: You Tube, Geekologie, and even (go figure) totallylookslike.com just to name a few.

I told my Avon Rep (who sits not 5 ft from me everyday) how much attention it's gained, she just gave a false little laugh then went about her business. Pft, she's no fun!

Anyway, I'm anxious to see if Avon sales will boost because of this. I think they should rethink their marketing strategies, unless their goal is to bring about the zombie apocalypse before the Canadians do.

Have a good weekend!!!

Umbrella Commercial just for fun!

The healing power of toothpaste! Use it to soothe a burn.

I did something really stupid last night *go figure* I am just like my mother when it come to clumsiness in the kitchen.

Last night I was in quite a hurry to get dinner finished because I had to be somewhere afterwards. I was trying to boil a pot of water on a front stove burner when I realized that I had lit the back burner instead. My first reaction when I realized that I had the pot on the wrong burner was "crap, stick it on the back burner so it will get to boiling!" Now, I have a habit of turning the pot handles inwards or towards the back of the stove so that me or someone else doesn't accidentally knock it off, or worse yet, the kiddo come by and try to grab it. So guess where the handle was? It was hovering over the now red hot burner, that's where! And did it not occur to me to get the stupid oven mitt? Gosh no, I was in too much of a hurry. So like a fool, I grabbed the handle. ........ Yeah, stupid. I know. So anyway, I ended up burning my middle, ring, and little fingers on my left hand.

And they HURT!! Omg did they hurt! I heard to never put ice on a burn, so I tried running cool water over them instead, but I was still in pain. The sunburn aloe stuff I had didn't help because it might have had Lanolin in it. I didn't have any burn cream at all, so I asked the boyfriend to look up some home remedies on the internet. Now, I have heard somewhere that a raw potato works well, but I didn't have any on hand. That was one of the options on a list that he found (I don't remember the name of the website tho, sorry). Another suggestion was... yellow mustard?? Who would have thought? Kinda icky, so I scanned the list and came across..... toothpaste! For real? toothpaste? How? My poor fingers were so sore that I couldn't even bend them and I needed something fast. Morphine might have worked nicely. But since I didn't have that option either I decided to go with the toothpaste because 1.) It wouldn't stain my hands or clothes mustard yellow and 2.) It has a more appeasing smell. So I marched into the bathroom and squeezed out a liberal amount on each finger and gently rubbed it enough to cover the burned areas. And o m g, it worked! The pain immediately went away and I was totally stoked about it! I kept the toothpaste on for about 15-20 minutes, then gently washed it off so I could eat dinner. And they never hurt again after that.

Good thing to know if any of you or your kids get a minor burn :)
