Twins vs. Twins: My Twin Sis and I Test MK & Ashley Makeup

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 18:06:38 GMT

I've always been jealous of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Namely, the fact that they were both millionaires before they turned 18. The "Full House" twins run a ginormous corporation that churns out clothing, movies, and makeup for Walmart and other retailers.

But during my last trip to Walmart, I spotted an unusual MK-Ashley product in the beauty department, and I knew it had to be tested. And who better than me and my twin sister to take on the Olsen twins? It was war. More Here...

It's the most iconic perfume in history. It's the epitome of class and sophistication, the embodiment of feminine majesty. It is Chanel No. 5.

My mom wore No. 5 in college, and when I started college, she bought me my own bottle of the incomparable and timeless scent.

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:48:17 GMT

Man sandals, or "mandals," are pretty controversial. While some men swear by them--and let's face it, they're great for summer--many women don't like the look of flip flops for fellas.

What Codex Sinaiticus Means for You

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:44:52 GMT

Codex Sinaiticus, the oldest Bible in the world (dating to the 4th century), has been reunited digitally, and the results have been posted online for the world to see.

As someone who works at a rare book library and has a degree in New Testament studies, my dual nerdiness has me practically hyperventilating with excitement over this feat. But what does this mean for people who haven't spent years poring over old, dusty manuscripts?

1. No one alive has seen all 800 pages in one place.

The codex, written in Greek, was unearthed in the 19th century at Mount Sinai and transported to Europe, where it was split apart and gobbled up by different museums and collectors. Today the codex is divided among four cities: St. Petersburg, London, Leipzig and Alexandria, each of which carefully digitized their holdings for the joint project. More Here...

Hot or Not: Mustache Accessories

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 01:11:35 GMT

Mustaches are in for ladies. But thankfully, not in the upper lip, 5 o' clock shadow way: we're talking about a cheeky, larger than life mustache design that's raising trendsetters' hairs across the fashion zip codes. Step right this way to pick up your own mustache accessories: no Burt Reynolds required.

A jewelry maker in L.A. called Demitasse makes an entire "Demistache" line of fine jewelry in the shape of facial hair. The necklaces (pictured above) come in different styles named after famous mustaches, like the "Freddie" in honor of Queen's late front singer Freddie Mercury. Lindsay Lohan and Blake Lively are fans! More Here...

The Ugly Tattoo Hall of Shame

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:56:21 GMT

Getting a tattoo is serious business. Before you shell out big bucks to have someone permanently etch something on you with needles, maybe you should proofread it? Or double check your spelling? Or run it by someone else to make sure it's a decent idea?

I don't think these people did any of that.

Defeats the purpose, doesn't it? This one might as well say, "I'M A LOSR."More Disasters Here...
