'Mall-Rat Curls'? What the heck?

Do you recognize the women to the right? The picture is straight out of 1993 - well, it is Mariah Carey.
Now according to Christopher Turner, 'even the 'mall-rat curls' and ho-hum dress couldn't keep Mariah down'.

Now, I'm not a fan of either Mariah or Christ-o-pher Tur-ner, but I would like to know one thing.... who the heck is he and what gives with the 'mall-rat curls'. Is he just another in a long list of self appointed fashion guru's put on this earth and the pages of magazines and the internet - telling women how they should and shouldn't look, discouraging personal style and directing all women to be as he approves? These guys make me ill.

Which brings me to a funny conversation I had last week with a close friend of mine. She says 'don't you find it funny how the balding, paunchy, poorly dressed, un-kept, bad breathed men are always the pickiest, opinionated, jerks when it comes to women?' I couldn't agree with her more. She also shared what most of us already know - 'us girls are just way too hard on ourselves' - we should really be more like most men and not give a shit.

But, why is that the case. What gives the guy, with a paunch hanging over his pants (which are likely sliding down his butt) and the ketchup stain on his shirt (which is missing a button and looks like the dog slept on it last night) any right to comment on, condemn or voice his opinion

(which is usually something like....'hummm, she a bit on the porky side for me, I like my women a whole lot thinner and better dressed than that one') about the women he encounters.

Now, just for the record - I happen to really like shaved headed guys. I encourage any man who has thinning hair he is fretting about to just get rid of it. Either go super short or take it all off baby. There's this hot older guy, in our gym who....... yeah, you know the rest of the story.

Back to these so called fashion experts. Who the heck are they to say that 'skinny jeans look good on every body type? And, 'you need to have a least a few pairs in your closet'. For what? To take up extra hanger room, jammed in beside other 'got to have, clothes that never look good on this body'. I'm here to tell you, this year's fashion statement 'skinny jeans' do NOT look good on every body type! Oh, and 'Average' is NOT 5'8" 108lbs, size 2/4! Check the stats baby - that's a 12 year old girl and even then, likely not the average.

So, what are we going to do about it? Just rant away, complain to ourselves. No way girlfriend.
Here's what I propose:
#1- the next time you are standing beside 'hiding the fact that I'm loosing my hair' with the paunch and he makes a comment about another women not being up to his standard - ask him just what the standard acceptable is for a man who needs to loose 50lbs and either shave that comb over or get implants.
#2 - develop your own style. Who gives a shit if it's on the runway this year - do you like it, does it look good on you, does it say 'I'm one hot mama'?
#3 - kiss the postman. Why? I don't know, it gets your mind off being pissed at 'potbelly-guy'.
#4 - as my friend Sylvia would say 'don't be afraid to be beautiful!'
#5 - join a group of Hot Cherry Review shoppers and come on out for an evening of trying on those new fashion statement clothes - try before you buy! (email us with your contact info and we'll let you know when it's happening)

In closing, a wee remark to buddy Chris-to-pher (likely a fashion faux pas himself) - I kinda like Mariah’s 'mall rat curls' - better to have curls than no hair at all!

Okay, we are starting the week off with ‘some of those things that make us shake our heads. Sit back and enjoy, click through the links to learn more.

For the guys, how about a business suit that allows you to look professional in the same time that it takes you to boot your computer? Introducing the ½ suit by ‘Business Bib’. Though they have an online store, we can’t seem to actually find out how much they charge or how many are available, if any.

The ‘Business Bib’ makes the man look like he is ready for any boardroom, just by slipping this ‘slip cover’ on over the top of his briefs and t-shirt. In minutes, he is ready for the conference web call. Don’t believe us, we don’t blame you, check it out for yourself.

This for the ladies. Have you ever had one of those days, running behind, you throw on a wee sleeveless tank, glance at your underarms and discover fuzz? Does anyone notice any ways? We, I didn’t think so, but according to a info zing sent to me this morning, ‘everyone notices’ (needless to say, I’m going to start watching people to see if they are checking out my pits).

There are solutions however, namely a shaving ‘spritz’ that allows you to splash a bit on and shave away. Now, I didn’t believe it and wondered first, why not just shave in the shower, so I followed the link. It brought me to a website for Shave.com – the ‘King of Shaves’. The site itself is actually pretty informative and for both men and women. Who would have thought. They even offer samples as well, but apparently not to Canadians…. Thanks.

Well that’s it for today – we’ll see what we can find for your interest tomorrow. Until then, remember we are always looking for other Hot Cherry Reviews. Want to share your finds with others, send us an email and we will hook you up.
