 Blow 2021 out yer arse!

Here's to a better year ahead.  (Although didn't I say that last year?)

New Year's Eve Parties

 Are you planning a New Year's Eve party?

On behalf of your fellow human beings throughout the entire world, please DON'T. 

This has been a public health message from the Infomaniac Medical Clinic.

Merry Christmas, Bitches!

We here at Infomaniac hope that you will not be affected by the candy cane shortage aka the Candy Cane Crisis of 2021...

In any case, it's time for The Mistress to don her Mistletoe Belt Buckle - an Infomaniac annual tradition. Unlike the Annual Infomaniac Garden Photos Event (now hosted by Mr. DeVice) and the Definitive History of the Freakin' Green Elf Shorts (now managed by Rimpy Rimpington), The Mistress has not yet farmed out the Mistletoe Belt Buckle tradition.

Merry Christmas, Bitches! And stay safe.

Freshening Up Tactics for Knickers and More

The Mistress is frustrated that she cannot read the small print on how to renew her knickers...

Thankfully, we're only a month away from Buy New Underwear Day which you might recall from this previous post. 

Are you planning to buy new underwear or will you attempt to renew your knickers?

Help Mr. DeVice Find a New Book

Please help Mr. DeVice find a new book to read. And perhaps we could throw in this chap as a bonus...

When I read this post by Mr. DeVice, listing some of the books he's been reading, I noticed that he made the following comment...

Well, I re-read Bridget Jones's Diary (for the third or fourth time, I think) because what little news and stuff I'd been exposed to was bringing me down, and I fancied a light bit of fluff - something that I knew would be ridiculous and fun - to cheer me up.

Four times? He read Bridget Jones's Diary FOUR times? 

CAN YOU SUGGEST A LIGHT, FUN BOOK FOR Mr. DeVICE TO READ? If so, please leave a comment.

The Mistress will weigh in with her suggestion, "The Guncle" by Steven Rowley, published in 2021.

The Mistress read The Guncle recently and agrees with its description as "a novel with some real depth beneath all its witty froth." Here's a publisher's blurb...

From the bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus and The Editor comes a warm and deeply funny novel about a once-famous gay sitcom star whose unexpected family tragedy leaves him with his niece and nephew for the summer.

Patrick, or Gay Uncle Patrick (GUP, for short), has always loved his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant. That is, he loves spending time with them when they come out to Palm Springs for weeklong visits, or when he heads home to Connecticut for the holidays. But in terms of caretaking and relating to two children, no matter how adorable, Patrick is, honestly, overwhelmed.

So when tragedy strikes and Maisie and Grant lose their mother and Patrick’s brother has a health crisis of his own, Patrick finds himself suddenly taking on the role of primary guardian. Despite having a set of “Guncle Rules” ready to go, Patrick has no idea what to expect, having spent years barely holding on after the loss of his great love, a somewhat-stalled acting career, and a lifestyle not-so-suited to a six- and a nine-year-old. Quickly realizing that parenting–even if temporary–isn’t solved with treats and jokes, Patrick’s eyes are opened to a new sense of responsibility, and the realization that, sometimes, even being larger than life means you’re unfailingly human.

With the humor and heart we’ve come to expect from bestselling author Steven Rowley, The Guncle is a moving tribute to the power of love, patience, and family in even the most trying of times.

Since Mr. DeVice is a guncle (a gay uncle) we think this book may be just the ticket to cheer him up and replace Bridget Jones, at least temporarily. 

Your suggestons for a light, fun book are welcome.

Happy Fourth of July!

10 Seconds to Love

What would you Bitches do if you had only ten seconds to love?

Come Fly With Me

What exactly is going on here?...

Handbag Hygiene

Bitches, stop placing your handbags on the floor. 

Bathroom floors, particularly those in public spaces are notoriously germ-ridden. Think of the bodily fluids lurking there. Harmful bacteria can transfer from the floor to your purse and then to you. 

Hang your handbag on the door handle instead. If no door handle is available, hang the bag around your neck. Yes, I've done this, and then complained to management about the lack of door handles in the restroom stalls. 

It's not just bodily fluids that are lurking in the stalls so double-wrap the handbag handle around the door handle to deter purse snatchers who may try to reach over from the neighbouring stall and steal it.

If germs aren't enough to convince you to hang up your handbag, consider this: my friend's purse was stolen while she was on the loo. She had set her handbag on the floor. Someone in the next stall simply reached under and grabbed it. You Bitches can get your knickers down in record time but nobody can get their pants up quickly enough to catch a purse-snatcher.

Once you've arrived home, avoid setting your handbag on a kitchen counter or dining room table or bed where the bacteria may once again transfer.

It's not just the bottom of your bag that's a concern. Studies have found that the dirtiest part of the bag is the handle—it carries more bacteria than the average toilet seat!

And that shopping cart in the photo? Shopping carts have been found to contain saliva, bacteria and even fecal matter.

Your opinions and suggestions are welcome.

Slacking on Shaving

Apparently, men are shaving less during the pandemic while women are shaving more.

When was the last time you shaved? 

Happy Easter, Bitches!
