Nail Polish for Rent?

Posted on 17. Dec, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Beauty & Style, Makeup & Skincare, Jordan Alexis, nail polish, whoa

Do you find nail polish a little too pricy? Sure, you can get the cheap stuff at the drugstore (I remember blowing my allowance on $1.99 bottles of Wet n’ Wild as a tween), but top brands like Chanel, Dior, and Dolce & Gabbana have a whole world of colors that will cost you upwards of $25 a pop – a little expensive, seeing as my mani is usually chipped to bits in about two days.Read More »

If you need a date for a red carpet event, you might be able to go with a Sasquatch!  Hey, everybody needs a little love, right? Well, on July 11, last Wednesday evening, Brian Wilson (no, not the Beach Boys singer) showed up to the ESPY awards with a really unique escort. The notorious bad boy and quirky baseball player went to the awards and walked the red carpet with a none other than…Bigfoot.

Posted on 13. Jul, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Health & Fitness, Jordan Alexis, sitting, whoa

Bad news, America: there’s a new reason to hate your desk job. A study published in the online journal BMJ Open reported that sitting down for more than three hours a day can take two years off a person's life expectancy! Think you’re not at risk because you exercise and refrain from naughty habits like smoking? Think again. And to make matters worse, watching TV for more than two hours a day can decrease your life expectancy by another 1.4 years, according to the report.Read More »

No Dancing in the Subway System

Posted on 12. Jul, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Weird News, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, whoa

It sounds like a scene out of a Footloose reboot: a couple was arrested for dancing in a nearly-deserted subway station. With everything that goes on in a subway station, you would think that a middle-aged couple doing the Charleston to the sweet rhythms of a busker playing the steel drums would barely be a blip on police radar. The police may have reason to hate dancing that have nothing to do with those of the town minister in Footloose; after all, they’ve been dealing with flash mobs and pop-up dance parties clogging the tubes.Read More »

Yoga Teacher Fired Over Cell Phone

If you’re ever hired by Facebook, don’t forget one major fact (that might seem pretty obvious): they sure love technology.  So much so, in fact, that apparently it was too much for Facebook staffers to bear when a yoga instructor hired to teach classes at the employee gym in the social networking company's Menlo Park campus asked them to stop fidgeting with their smartphones mid-pose. I can only assume they were checking their Facebook newsfeeds, or maybe updating their statuses about the challenges of downward dog or omo plata.Read More »

Burglar Invades Homes to Chat with Victims

Posted on 11. Jul, 2012 by stylequirk in category of Weird News, StyleQuirk, whoa

One of the most frightening experiences you can ever have is a home invasion. This is especially true for women living alone. Even locked doors and alarm systems fail to ward off some burglars. When it happens, you’re supposed to grab the phone, call the police, and run like hell out of the house. But in the moment, I’m sure it’s difficult to do anything at all, especially if the person has a weapon. Fear has a tendency to freeze its victims, leaving them paralyzed without the ability to act.Read More »

Dance Party Robot Will Dance Straight into Your Heart

Posted on 28. Jun, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Technology, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, robots, whoa

Humans have been trying to steal cyborg dance moves for decades. Whether attempted in break dancing or at a wedding reception, “The Robot” is an often-tried, not always well-executed dance move. While few people have mastered “The Robot,” there’s one robot who can out-dance homo sapiens. San Francisco’s Dance Party Robot is an adorable boxy silver dance machine outfitted with speakers for pumping his jams.Read More »
