It's a Fat World After All {TMZ}
Apr 15th 2008 3:34PM Please do not blame the Walt Disney Corp. for doing this. (Disclaimer: I own some Disney stock.) They are a company whose goal is to make profit. They want to serve their customers, so that they return and spend more money. It may be true that they have more overweight, larger customers (adults and children) than they they typically had when the rides were designed many years ago. It's not in their interest to pass any kind of moral judgement, or to send a message that people should just lose weight. So, they will redesign their rides to meet the changing needs of their customers. (Just like airlines, restaurants, and other businesses will.)
Something bugs me, though. Having waited in those lines at Disney World, I sure would hate it if rides (or theaters for shows) were redesigned with larger seats, but fewer of them. If fewer people can go through a ride, or see a show, then that means a longer wait to get on. But, I have faith in Disney's ability to engineer their revamps so that there is no problem. Like I said, they want all customers to just be happy, That's how they got where they are today!
20 cool ways to reuse old pantyhose {DIY Life}
Nov 15th 2007 11:42AM The best way to store Vidalia onions is in panty hose. Drop the onions one at a time into a panty hose leg, knotting the leg in between each onion. Then hang the panty hose in a dark place. When you want to use one, cut off the bottom onion. The onions get air circulation all around, so that they do not get moldy or rotten so quickly.
Clever Uses For Dental Floss: Beyond Teeth {Gadling}
Sep 9th 2007 9:57PM In a childbirth preparation class, the nurse who was the instructor recommended that we keep dental floss in the car. If you happen to give birth in the car, floss works great for cutting the unbilical cord. Wrap it around the cord, and pull it tight until it cuts through. I took her advice, thankfully didn't have to use it.
High fashion, high heels, and hammertoes: how shoes contribute to foot pain {That's Fit}
May 17th 2007 11:50AM Okay, I am 44 and hated wearing uncomfortable shoes, even as a teen. So at work I have worn flats or heels up to 2 and a half inches, and saved higher heels for things like going out for a few hours on a weekend night. My feet have no pain, and none of those freaky-looking deformities that come from shoes. I wear sandals all the time and my feet look the same as ever (normal). But, I wonder now, did I look too dowdy? I also never got much attention from men. I am married but I didn't have much opportunity to date before we met. Maybe if I had worn sexy shoes I would have had a richer dating life? I was a practical-minded nature-girl, but now I am wracked with regrets that maybe I should have sexed up my look. BTW I have always been told I have great legs, in fact they are probably my best feature. Did you women who always wore high heels succeed in attracting a lot of desirable male attention?
Just how curvy is America Ferrara? {Stylelist}
Feb 7th 2007 3:23PM Can we stand another comment about Marilyn Monroe's dress size? My mom recently passed on to me a skirted suit that my aunt had given to her in 1964. It's a beautiful wool suit, like something Jackie Kennedy might have worn. It's been only drycleaned (never shrunk). The label says it is size 12. In today's sizes I wear size 6, and the waistband is snug on me. How far will manufacturers go with vanity sizing? Eventually they will have to go into negative numbers for the smallest sizes. Today's size 4 is tomorrow's size -2. Now I am ready for vanity sizing for shoes. I'm tired of having big, size-9 feet. Let's move the sizes up, I want to have cute feminine size 6 feet. LOL!
