HEY EVERYONE!  Your fave pal Dishy here to tell you all about a little wonder product Curly is making me review I’ve discovered, called The Turbie Twist!!

WOW. What is it??

The Turbie Twist is a super-absorbent hair towel made especially for the girl-(or-guy)-on-the-go.

You know how after bathing, most people put their hair up in a towel a la Carmen Miranda?

Well.  The Turbie Twist is sort of like that, but better.  Instead of schlepping around w/ a big ding-dong bath towel like this poor SLOB

before

You can look like THIS (unbelievably stunning knock-out)

WOW. How does it work??

Unlike standard bath towels, which flop open and fall off your head, causing severe neck damage and potentially hazardous conditions, the Turbie Twist contains magical elastic band technology specifically engineered to keep that towel ON.  (Many thanks to Curly for the drawing below.)

B/c of this revolutionary technology, the Turbie Twist allows its wearer complete freedom of movement whilst comfortably drying his or her hair.  No more reaching up to steady that mass resting on your head.  No more feeling like the proverbial bowling pin under a birdcage.  No activity is TOO MUCH for the TURBIE TWIST!

But there’s MORE.  The Turbie Twist’s patented space-age hair drying technology is so revolutionary, in fact, it simply has to be seen to be believed.  Watch in AMAZEMENT as my hair dries right before your very eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!***

SICK DAY

~ thedailydish ~ 11 Comments

My kids are home sick.  YEP.  Both of them.  Home.  WITH ME. Allllllll daaaaayy looooong.  Of course they’re not sick enough to stop fighting or asking to go to the playground. This morning they were plenty well enough to fly out the door to the front porch and start digging in their beloved dirt bowls.  When I suggested they put their clothes on and return to school, they of course started coughing and immediately came back inside.  Now they are wrestling on the couch and making mouse houses in the living room.  Mouse Houses is code language for tents made out of blankets and sofa cushions.  They like to hang out in there, watching movies on the laptop.  One of the tents is the “library” where they rent the movies.  The other is the theater.  As long as they’re not beating the hell out of each other, fine by me.

SO. Day Two of Sick Fest.  TWO DAYS.  If that isn’t enough to make you reach for the theraflu, nothing is.  Unfortunately I hate that stuff.  HATE IT.  Unless it says 100 proof w/ a skull and crossbones on the label, then it’s just wasting my time.  But yesterday. I had to do something.  By 10 am the ladies – sick or not – were going fisticuffs, my throat felt like hamburger and my sanity was waning.  I resorted to the only homeopathic treatment available.  Tea w/ honey?  A steamy hot bath?  NO.  2 pepsi throwbacks and hope for the best.  Fortunately I fell asleep.  Unfortunately, I feel asleep face down into the pillow with the bird on my head.  By mid-afternoon when I awoke, the duvet cover was unmentionable and I will not comment on the state of my hair.  From now on I’m sticking to alcohol.

I spent the remainder of yesterday finishing a wonderful book (THE HUNGRY OCEAN by Linda Greenlaw) and browsing the AS SEEN ON TV website.  The former was excellent, the latter not so much.  But both were remarkably entertaining.  Just look at some of what I found.

I have no idea why that image IS SOOOOOO DARN LONG EITHER!!!! BUT if that dog isn’t thinking JUST YOU WAIT, BUDDY I don’t know what’s what.  And I’d be pissed too! if some crazy human made ME pose w/ a big bag of crap dangling just inches from my face.

Look at this poor woman.

The ARCTIC TIE promises INSTANT RELIEF FROM THE HEAT.  HEAT KILLS!  STAY COOL

Frankly folks, if it was a choice between life w/ the bandana necktie or death by heat – you KNOW which one I’m picking.  Plus, after watching that Independent Lens special last night on gang warfare, I was reminded of the whole “Colors” thing – you know, the Crips vs. the Bloods, Blue Vs. Red.  What if you stumbled into the wrong turf with the wrong color dingus lasso round your neck?  That could get ugly.

BOY-YOING-YOING!  Welcome to the advert for HEART TOPS Nipple Covers.  NOW. I don’t know about YOU, but it sure makes ME feel more secure knowing I can buy stickers for my nipples.  I MEAN there is such a thing as SHOWING TOO MUCH in this day and age.  When I go topless, sometimes I feel a bit self-conscious.  Or when I’m wearing one of those painted-on shirts, YOU KNOW, the ones that leave the hooter horns on high alert ALL DAY LONG, sometimes I feel… well, a bit embarrassed.  BUT Having those heart-shaped nipple stickers!  WHAT A LIFESAVER!!
