Marge Simpson Poses for Playboy

I was browsing the entertainment websites today and came across something...odd. The cover model for November's issue of Playboy is Marge Simpson!  There are a variety of pictures of Marge in the magazine such as shots covering select areas with doughnuts or Marge stripping for the men of Springfield.

What do you all think...is this sexy or creepy?

D.C. Bag Bill Coming - Reusable Bags!

So I just learned that on January 1, 2010, stores that sell food will be required to charge a 5 cent fee/tax for each plastic or paper bag they provide to customers.  I'm not sure whether "stores that sell food" includes restaurants, but I know it encompasses grocery stores, pharmacies, and stores like Target.  The stores will keep 1-2 cents per bag and the rest will go into a fund to pay for cleanup of DC's Anacostia River, which has tons of plastic bag pollution.

I'm actually ok with this new fee.  I usually bring my own bags to shop because I walk or take the Metro home from stores.  Reusable bags hold a lot more and are easier to carry than plastic or paper bags.  Retailers include the cost of bags in their prices, so the fewer bags used, the cheaper things should be. Some critics have said this would drive up costs for the poor, but I disagree: anyone can reuse bags.  Who doesn't have tons of plastic bags around their homes that they can reuse?  Also, merchants are donating bags to the city to provide for low-income households.

Don't forget, on trips to CVS, use your CVS GreenBagTag (it's awesome! I've gotten at least $3 back in extra care bucks so far.)  see: http://guyslikesaving.blogspot.com/2009/10/kudos-to-cvs.html

Unilever (maker of tons of consumer goods) has a daily contest for members of its site (free to join).  25 people each day will instantly win a reusable bag and one monthly winner receives $500. Join and enter here!

FREE Inflight Internet Session on DL, AA, UA, AirTran!

I LOOOOVE gogo inflight internet.  It was so cool the first time I could use my laptop on an airplane and be online!  I had the person in the seat next to me take a picture of me with my laptop and I emailed it to my friends.






Well, to introduce their awesome service, gogo is letting current users refer people for a FREE SESSION.  The sessions are normally about $10, so this is a good deal.  


Just use the promo code: 2284719598bhb on the signin page on your laptop when you're on an equipped flight. 


Full disclosure: I get a free session for up to four friends who use my code, but I'm sure a ton of people will use my code for a free session, so that's not what's enticing me to share the code.  It's just an awesome service, so I hope it succeeds in business and spreads to have inflight internet on as many flights as possible!


ENJOY!

Gillette Fusion MVP Review

As you know, Gillette offered to sponsor a giveaway for my readers for a Gillette Gift Pack.  Along with that, Gillette asked me to do a review of their MVP razor and their Series Shave Gel for sensitive skin.  I have to say that I had never tried the Gillette Fusion razor before because my neck gets irritated from shaving sometimes, so I was worried that a razor with five blades would be too harsh.

Gillette provided me with one razor and one can of shave gel for free for me to review and keep.  I shave in the shower so my whiskers are as soft as possible.  After using Shiseido Men's face scrub, I lathered up with the Gillette Series shave gel.  I liked that it didn't have a fragrance.  I then tried the Gillette Fusion MVP razor on my neck and was shocked at how smoothly the razor glided over my neck.  While I thought five blades would equal extra-harsh, it actually created a smoother, less irritating shaving experience - I needed fewer passes over the same area.  The rest of the shave went equally problem-free.  I also like that the Fusion razors have a precision trimmer blade on the edge for trimming sideburns or shaping a goatee.  The power version (which I didn't use) supposedly makes for an even less-irritating, smoother shave.

I got out of the shower and put on an after-shave balm from Anthony for Men.  My face was smoother than it had been in ages - probably since I last had a barber shave!  There were no nicks or cuts and no irritation.  I have to say that I'm going to keep using the Gillette Fusion razor instead of the razor I had previously used!
