Getting Married?

My best friend's mom handmade her wedding garter(s). Yes, she made two beautiful garters..one to keep and one to throw. I took a look at those gorgeous thigh bracelets and said..."No way can you let some drunk guy at your wedding keep it."When I decide to get married I want her (Donna Thomsen) to make my garters! She can make them in all sorts of colors and textures....lace...satin...silk. Plus your initials....beads...small bows..and any other details you want. IF YOU WANT ONE.....email Donna here: dthomsen19@yahoo.com

HYPERCOLOR IS BACK BITCHES!!

OMG!!!! Remember HYPER-COLOR shirts? (picture found @ http://www.nostalgiaholic.com/)

They would change colors when your body temperature would heat up. Mine was pink and it would change to white when I played outside in the 80's.

I looked all over the web and found out they contained a thermochromic (temperature sensitive) pigment made by Matsui Shikiso Chemical of Japan, that changed between two colors–one when cold, one when warm. The shirts were produced with several color change choices from the late 1980s until the early 1990s.- source: Wikipedia

I LIKE THIS GUY:

Mr. Kenji Matsui had a keen eye for color and used that talent in the manufacturing of raw materials for the paint industry. In 1923 Mr. Matsui founded Matsui Shikiso Chemical LTD. His fascination with color and his passion for development soon resulted in expansion into the manufacturing of crayons in 1948 and ultimately led to the manufacturing of pigments and dyes for the textile industry in 1950. -source: http://www.unimarkusa.com/

I thought it was the coolest thing and it was another fad in HISTORY...until I saw something similar on the AMERICAN APPAREL website.

Here's what they say about the shirts on their website:

Our ultralight Sheer Jersey T-shirt, made with a temperature sensitive pigment that changes between two colors - one when cold, one when warm. They come in 5 different shades and only cost 28 bucks!

What they look like:

Real Willy Wonka kid......

Remember when Augustus Gloop fell into the Chocolate River? Well, a 29 year old did the same thing yesterday and we finally found out what happens when you drown in chocolate...you die.

Those aren't nuts in your Hershey's bar....that's Vincent Smith the II!!

Here's the story from cnn.com:

An employee at a New Jersey chocolate processing plant died Wednesday after falling into a vat of hot chocolate, according to a spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's office.
Vincent Smith II, 29, was dumping raw chocolate into the vat for melting when he fell in from a nine-foot high platform. He suffered a fatal blow to the head from the vat's agitator, a paddle-like mechanism used for stirring the chocolate.
According to the Camden County prosecutor's office, three other people were on the platform at the time. One was able to shut the machinery off quickly, but it was too late to save Smith.
The facility, owned by Cocoa Services Inc., is managed and operated by by Lyons and Sons.
The rectangular vat, which was 8 feet deep, 14 feet long and 6 feet wide, was churning a batch of chocolate for Hershey's when the accident occurred, the prosecutor's office said.
