<p>A product is finally available for ladies that insist on stuffing all their belongings in their bra just so they don&#8217;t have to carry a purse.  The <a href="http://www.thesnugglebag.com/catalog.htm?category=-The%20Cleavage%20Caddy" target="_blank">CLEAVAGE CADDY</a> (yes, you heard that) is an insert for your bra that features a number of pockets and compartments that can hold practically anything and everything.</p>
<p>They say it&#8217;s discreet, but I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s anything discreet about a lumpy boob in the shape of a phone &#8230;and notepad &#8230;and loose change &#8230;and a pencil!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3988" title="tumblr_kya4oih8t11qzyvn6" src="http://likethemermaid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tumblr_kya4oih8t11qzyvn6.jpg" alt="tumblr_kya4oih8t11qzyvn6" width="375" height="400" /></p>
<p>I use this mask once a week.  It&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.target.com/Boots-Botanics-Conditioning-Clay-Mask/dp/B0020C1W94/ref=sc_pd_gwv_2_title" target="_blank">conditioning clay mask From a Botanics line from Boots</a>.  I absolutely love the texture it gives my face after I use it.  The consistency is a bit runnier than the average clay mask.  It NEEDS to be shaken before you use it &#8230;just a little note to those who don&#8217;t read directions beforehand.  Because it&#8217;s thinner on, it takes less time to dry and it&#8217;s super easy to wash off.  Plus, you get to walk around your home looking like the out-of-the-mud scene from <em>Apocalypse Now</em>!  It&#8217;s around $8.99 and considering you won&#8217;t be using it daily and a little goes a long way &#8230;it&#8217;s a bargain!</p>
<p>My VERY favorite mask was <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/qxp20971_333181_sespider_1_1/freeman/facial_clay_mask_avocado_and_oatmeal_purifying.htm" target="_blank">Freeman&#8217;s avocado and oatmeal</a>.  It was absolute perfection (and around four bucks &#8230;and over twice the amount of product!) Evidently nobody else discovered it because I don&#8217;t really see it around on the shelves anymore.  You can still buy it easily online, but it&#8217;s not really worth the hassle with this good substitute in the store.</p>

<p>Do you know who else was <a href="http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/05/25/lady-gaga-glee/" target="_blank">anxiously awaiting</a> to see the gleetastic take on GaGa?</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.lady-gaga.net/" target="_blank">GaGa</a></strong>!</p>
<p>Yesterday, GaGa mentioned how excited she was to see her music incorporated into the show. She said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I love Glee. I love the cast and the creativity of the writers. I went to a musical theatre school, and used to dream that someday the students would be singing my songs. Can’t wait for “Bad Romance” + “Poker Face” in Glee fashion!”</p></blockquote>
<p>Poker Face was beautiful and the costumes in Bad Romance were pretty spot on!  What did she think?  Well, according to her <a href="http://twitter.com/Ladygaga" target="_blank">Twitter</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><span><span><span>GLEE WAS SO AMAZING! AH!!!!</span></span></span></p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah, pretty much.</p>
<blockquote><p><span><span><span><br />
</span></span></span></p></blockquote>

<p><em>Family Guy</em> has created an amusing <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2010/05/emmys-family-guy-takes-on-precious/" target="_blank">campaign</a> for their Emmy mailer this year.</p>
<p>Peter Griffin takes the cover emulating the Oscar-nominated flick, Precious. The tagline reads, &#8220;Vote for us or you&#8217;re racist.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other tag lines included in the packet:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Family Guy &#8211; written by 8 WASPS, 6 Jews, 2 Asian and 1 Gay.</p>
<p>We peaked 3 years ago, so by your logic we should get an Emmy now</p>
<p>You have to vote for us — we did a holocaust episode</p>
<p>Family Guy with Tina Fey… Not really, we just want an Emmy&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Ha! Wait.  How have they NOT been showered in Emmys yet?! SOMEONE FIX THIS!  At least give them a cookie for the clever marketing campaign!</p>

<p>As of tomorrow, <strong>Tim Burton&#8217;s</strong> 3D, Disney-collaborated flick , <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>, will become the sixth movie to make <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i653c072dd63127c843933703067c74d6" target="_blank">$1 billion</a> in worldwide box-office sales<a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i653c072dd63127c843933703067c74d6" target="_blank"></a>.  Though the movie is set to come out on DVD next week, <em>Alice</em> is still being show in the theaters across the world, racking in more than $667 million internationally.</p>
<p>Wow.  I didn&#8217;t really see that happening!  I mean, I knew it was doing well &#8230;but I guess I&#8217;m a little surprised.  Based off of word of mouth opinions not being favorable in general &#8230;I suppose it surprises me it did THAT well!  Then again, the <em>Transformers</em> movies suck and &#8220;do well&#8221;  &#8230;so that just goes to show how it&#8217;s a rather subjective issue.  It&#8217;s quite an impressive fete, congrats.</p>
<p>Also, this will be the second billion dollar flick for both Disney and <strong>Johnny Depp</strong>, with <em>Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man&#8217;s Chest</em> having made $1.07 billion at its launch.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s just what famous folks do to validate their relationships and attempt to make themselves relevant again to the rest of us!  <a href="http://www.jenniferlopez.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Jennifer Lopez</strong></a> and <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Skeletor</span> <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Anthony" target="_blank">Marc Anthony</a> </strong>will be celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary by renewing their vows in a big ceremony on June 5 at their Hidden Hills, California estate.</p>
<p>The two of them married in 2004 and renewed their vows once again in 2008.  Yeah.</p>
<p>6 years IS a long time &#8230;especially for a woman who has been through her share of marriages/engagements only to end up with a guy who left his other wife (and kid) for her &#8230;good ones guys, thanks for reminding us you&#8217;re still around &#8230;now go away.</p>

<p>If there was EVER an episode of Glee not to be missed.  It&#8217;d be tonight&#8217;s episode.  The theme is &#8220;theatricality&#8221; but really it&#8217;s an homage to GaGa.  The cast has even been outfitted by <a href="http://ladygaga.wikia.com/wiki/Haus_of_GaGa" target="_blank">Haus of GaGa</a>.  I&#8217;ve seen the costumes, beautiful replicas.  I&#8217;ve heard some of the music (Glee good, but I&#8217;m always going to be partial to the original).  It&#8217;s going to be a really good time.  I cannot wait.   No seriously, can&#8217;t wait.  It&#8217;s gonna be so goooood! (I proceed to squeal like a teenager).</p>
