Rolling Razor: Shaving (r)evolved

We shave. You shave. We all shave for, um, the acceptance of society? We're not sure why we're forced to shave, but we know it itches if we don't. Plus we look a bit like Lon Chaney, Jr., if we ignore it too long. It's the hair gene (that's science) and it's our curse. Damn dirty apes.

Until recently there weren't a lot of options in razors. There were straight, stem, disposable, electric and laser cat. Some choices have proven more popular than others.

Enter the two-headed dragon. The Rolling Razor slips on and off fingers easier than a wedding ring in Vegas. So we've heard.

While pale, porcelain skin is beautiful, it's hard to ignore the beauty of a bronze glow in the summertime. Who doesn't feel a little bit lovelier with slightly golden, sun-kissed skin? Notice we said slightly -- there's a big difference between being a little bit tan and looking like you've spent every day for the last three weeks baking on Miami Beach.

Dove's campaign for "Real Beauty" was Photoshopped

Remember when we were all in love with Dove because they ran an ad campaign featuring "real" women? Well, kind of real -- clearly they weren't going to use fat or unattractive people, but at least the women in the ads were of more normal stature, and not Photoshopped to completely unrealistic proportions.

Or were they?

Biore poll: gross or great?

Probably most of you have used Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips. And you probably fall into one of two categories: you think this is a lifesaver, amazing product, or that it is the grossest thing ever.

We have to admit, we found them sort of fascinating the first time we used them. Peeling the strip off your nose is surprisingly painful, like a band-aid.

And then the...uh, examination of the extraction, shall we say, is mind-boggling. How can all of that stuff be in your pores?

They aren't a daily use item, but we find them very satisfying after a greasy day of sunscreen. How about you?

Whenever a stunning model-actress-whatever is bombarded with questions on the red carpet about how she keeps her skin looking so clear and healthy, her answer will always have something to do with getting the suggested eight hours of sleep every night and consuming lots of water everyday.

You know, bulls***.

Demi Moore uses leeches to look young

No joke, we thought this was an April Fool's story when first we read it, but realized that it had to be true because it was "news" a week earlier.

Demi Moore uses leeches to keep herself looking young.

On the Late Show with David Letterman, the 45 year old revealed that she underwent a "cleansing" that used highly trained medical leeches placed in her belly button. Enzymes in the leeches get released into the patient's (patient, or victim?) that make her bleed more than usual, supposedly optimizing health and detoxifying the blood.

Wow. Whatever happened to using a good night cream? Or better yet, what ever happened to being beautiful as you are at the (still young) age of 45?!?!
