What a joke…
So, these are on sale today on Gilt and I’m just floored by the balls these people must have. And I’m floored by the gullibility of the people who buy this. I mean, somebody must be buying them or they wouldn’t be in business right? Anyways, apparently if you put these on your face you won’t get pimples and it will reduce wrinkles, depending on which one you use. Officially:
“Using superior technology developed by NASA, the Baby Quasar works by stimulating the natural production of collagen in the skin, thereby diminishing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores. Extremely effective in firming and toning the skin and increasing blood flow and circulation, the Baby Quasar uses 24 LED’s in four discrete wavelengths of red and infrared light.”
This is pure bullshit. And even if it wasn’t and by some miracle the light from LEDs did something beneficial for my skin I’m not going to pay $500 bucks for it! I’ll just go rub my face in the christmas lights! Cmon people, this isn’t the 1920′s! Actually the 20′s were better, at least they were advertising for things that worked – Coke! Delicious and refreshing! (Yeah it was, cause it had cocaine in it), Stay slim with your very own tapeworm! (hey, you will actually lose some weight. In fact, I’m gonna go get some tapeworms right now and start my new business! “Lose weight by meeting my little friend!”)

Ok, so here it is, I am posting from my phone! So far all I have figured out is how to type, not yet sure how to add (or view) pictures.
Emilily, 
I’ve just downloaded the WordPress iPhone app! (In order to get it to work, I had to go into our writing settings an enable XML-RPC publishing protocols, so I hope this doesn’t screw anything up.)
Here are two pictures of Dylan’s house – on the left, a picture of the real thing, and on the right, a miniature model of Dylan’s house.
Check this out. I did not mean to buy it, but now that I did, it is pretty cool. (I was looking for a font or typography related app, and this one popped up, and I accidentally hit “buy” when I really meant to preview it.) Anyways, you select a font, write a word or little phrase, and then you draw a picture or write a note using the font and text you have created. The speed you “draw” at determines the size of the font. You can also adjust the opacity and change the background. This is a really sloppy one I made just to experiment! 
In our pursuit of a functional magazine, to supplement our consumption of fashion magazines and websites, which have loads of pretty pictures interspersed with a small amount of intellectual drivel, I wanted to share

Don’t forget the key phrases in your worm/diet business. You must use important sounding lines like “developed by a New York Cardiologist” it wouldn’t sound the same if you said “developed by a Mississippi Bariatric MD”. Don’t forget the all important timetable. You must keep it very specific, example “Lose 300 pounds in just 32 weeks! not 31 weeks, not “lose 300 pounds in about 7 months” 32 Weeks and I’m done! So when can I get my worms? Were they trained by NASA to eat fat fast? Are they discrete?
