A new meaning for being the DD.

That red stuff is wine, not blood. I mean, you may have guessed that but I'm just saying. The WineRack bra available at thebeerbelly.com, $29.95.

I know, right?  Maybe you’ve already heard of this thing, maybe you got one in your stocking this year, but it’s all news to me really.

The WineRack is a black sports bra equipped with a 25 oz. polyurathane bladder (roughly two beers) that is equipped with a long drinking straw that has a closeable valve.  Your best bet is to load this sucker up with the hard stuff.  I don’t imagine anyone who owns this that would do otherwise.

Take a bottle of wine, a mixed drink or even a fifth of your favorite hard stuff to the movies, concerts, ball games, even PTA meetings. Sporting a rack that will turn heads and serving a beverage that will have guys standing in line for a sip of your secret stash!

One worry of the WineRack is that the wearer is consuming liquid from a bladder that essentially boosts her cup size up a few sizes.  Once she drinks her fill, what about the obvious decrease in cup size?  No worries, ladies.

With (a) simple blow into the tube it’s easy to keep that full look even as you drink from your secret stash.

The future is here. Too bad football season is over. Superbowl purchase!

 Just think of your hot coffee as scalding lava or a tremendous meteorite and enjoy putting dinosaurs into extinction over and over again.

Just think of your hot coffee as scalding lava or a tremendous meteorite and enjoy putting dinosaurs into extinction over and over again.

As of late, my Welcome to Las Vegas and I ♥ Arkansas mugs haven’t been all that fun to sip coffee or cocoa from.  I try not to let my mug boredom get to me but morning after morning of rummaging through my cabinet looking for an unfindable perfect coffee vessel can mess with a person.  I need a new coffee cup to spice things up a bit.  Only something that represents extreme danger, mystery and awesomeness will do.  Serendipitously I discover this dinosaur mug at CALS Cox Center while on assignment.  Pouring hot coffee into this sucker destroys the meaty Tyrannosaurus Rex picture into a natural history museum bone rendering.  I wonder if filling only half the mug with hot coffee could make the dino half vicious-alive-rex and half harmless-fossil-rex all at once!  I must investigate.

Disappearing Dinosaur Mug, $12. Available at CALS Cox Center in the River Market.

You can’t ask for a smoother transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving than this

knife-holder

"The Ex" 5-piece Stainless Steel Knife Holder in Red. Available at Overstock.com for $69.99

True, some people skip straight to Christmas after Halloween, but call me a traditionalist.  I like Thanksgiving.  And what better product to feature than jazzy cutlery to carve the Thanksgiving turkey?

Raffaele Iannello designed this clever/sinister knife holder available in the most literal of colors, red (pictured) as well as silver, gold, black, white and green.  Christened “The Ex,” this voodoo doll design goes beyond utility of functional storage.  Now removing and replacing your kitchen knives becomes a healing, cathartic practice sure to cut that certain someone out of your heart for always and forever.

Set includes: 5 stainless steel knives: 8″ Chef Knife, 8″ Bread Knife, 8″ Carver, 5″ Utility Knife and a 3.5″ Paring Knife that each slide into their specific magnetic plastic casings.
