As Seen On TV

I like those infomercials that are shorter and to-the-point. You know, like the old OxyClean ones and the ShamWow ones. I want a ShamWow. Why? I don't know, cuz that commercial is so convincing that it is the best darn shamois (did I spell that correctly?) on the planet, I think I should have one.

Well, WalMart has a whole row of stuff you find on those commercials. They have the little puff-pancake pan thingy that my kids want me to get ("But Mom, you can fill them with pudding!!"), the pedi-egg, and that thing that buffs away your leg hair and moustache. They also have the Strap Perfect, and I bought one. Sucker = me.

What is the Strap Perfect? (Seriously? You don't know?) It is a thing that you hook on to your bra straps to get them to be hidden under various configurations of tops where your bra straps normally hang out for the world to see. AND, the commercial says it makes your boobs look bigger. Since you all know that I have wanted to buy some bigger boobs, you can see the appeal. I have used it once, and it was pretty good. My straps were certainly hidden, but I don't know about that second claim... Tune in next week when I buy the Magic Bullet and start making a bunch of fruit smoothies every day.

Every year we try and do a practical "gadget gift" for the kids for Christmas. Last year I bought the ShamWow, because I thought the commercial was hilarious. Only problem was that the kids hadn't seen it. Fortunately, I could send it to them via U-tube. "You'll say WOW every time".

I've heard that the Sham-Wow doesn't work, but haven't tried it personally. I have a couple of friends who LOVE their magic bullets, and i'm now tempted to get one of those bra-strap thingys (for which i have never seen the infomercial).

I will give you one of my extra bra strap thingies, Sarah. Cuz I do not need six of these things (two in each color - beige, black, clear).

Hailey, does your ShamWow make you say Wow?!

I want a bra strap thing! I was just thinking the other day (while in my tank top with my bra straps showing) - "I don't care if my bra straps show! I have to wear this stupid nursing bra and there's nothing I can do about it!" Or is there...thanks Strap Perfect!
