Yodelling Pickles and Hopping Lederhosen
It all started many years ago when The Mistress purchased Wind-Up Hopping Lederhosen...
Simply wind it up and watch these Bavarian trousers hop all over.
It's one of my favourite things, ever. But the fun doesn't end there. Oh no, it does not.
The next step in hopping lederhosen research & development was the Remote Controlled, Hopping, Yodelling Lederhosen...
With a remote control shaped like a knackwurst, this product will knock you out.
Demonstration here...
Your head will explode when you see what they came up with next...
A Yodelling Pickle...
Yes! A pickle that yodels at the press of a button.
You've never had so much fun with six and a half inches of plastic!
Demo here...
With Christmas coming, you may want to add a Lucky Yodelling Christmas Pickle Ornament to your wish list. It's equipped with a motion detector that unleashes a yodel...
All these products and oh, SO MUCH MORE are available at The Mistress's favourite store: Archie McPhee in Seattle.

Salt Sugar Fat: The Unholy Trinity
Stop!
[via]
Before you fill up that shopping cart, read this book...
In Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us, Michael Moss takes us inside the labs where food scientists use cutting-edge technology to calculate the “bliss point” of sugary beverages or enhance the “mouthfeel” of fat by manipulating its chemical structure. He unearths marketing campaigns designed—in a technique adapted from tobacco companies—to redirect concerns about the health risks of their products: Dial back on one ingredient, pump up the other two, and tout the new line as “fat-free” or “low-salt.” He talks to concerned executives who confess that they could never produce truly healthy alternatives to their products even if serious regulation became a reality. Simply put: The industry itself would cease to exist without salt, sugar, and fat. Just as millions of “heavy users”—as the companies refer to their most ardent customers—are addicted to this seductive trio, so too are the companies that peddle them. You will never look at a nutrition label the same way again.
The author shows us the ruthless tactics that food company giants employ to cash in on our cravings. Snack food, for example, is aggressively marketed to lower income families and children.
Yet when food company executives were asked if they feed their products to their own children, the answer was "no."
Some of you Bitches are struggling with weight loss. If you're wondering why the pounds aren't coming off, you might be surprised to find out why. Food companies are going all out to make sure you crave their foods by adding additional salt, sugar and fat to many of the foods you think are good choices nutritionally. Not only is it a deterrent to weight loss, it's a health hazard.

But let's say you don't eat junk food. Think you're making a smart choice with yogurt or spaghetti sauce? Yoplait contains twice as much sugar per serving as Lucky Charms! Half a cup of Prego Traditional spaghetti sauce has as much sugar as three Oreo cookies AND a third of the daily salt intake recommended for most Americans.
Mistress MJ, who thought she was a wise consumer, had her eyes opened by this book. We hope you will too.
So put down that cupcake and read Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us.

As Michael Moss says, If nothing else, this book is intended as a wake-up call to the issue and tactics at play in the food industry, to the fact that we are not helpless in facing them down. We have choices, particularly when it comes to grocery shopping, and I saw this book, on its most basic level, as a tool for defending ourselves when we walk through those doors.

Bed Hopping
Mistress MJ is in the market for a new mattress.
The salesman (below) is helpful yet Mistress MJ is befuddled by all the choices.
(insert your own caption here, if you must)
Mistress MJ will now ask her Infomaniac Bitches to assist her in the decision making process.
Everybody join Mistress MJ in mattress hopping, er, shopping!
Is everybody ready?
Get (s)hopping!
Well done, everyone!
Now report in the comments section on which type of mattress you prefer.
Mistress MJ (who only likes shopping for shoes, booze and lingerie) has consumer decisions to make and is counting on your opinion!
Coils? Intellicoils? (eh?) Latex? Foam? Memory foam? Ticking? Hand tufting?
What does it all MEAN?
What’s the best choice?
I need to make an informed decision!
Beast (following an unfortunate estrogen overdose) test drives an adjustable bed.
And finally…
What happens if I remove this tag? …

Shoppenboys
Want to buy clothes for your man but he won’t tag along to the shops with you?
Try a Shoppenboy!
Les Shoppenboys (they’re French) wander around the store in red boxer shorts until a customer asks them to try on an item of clothing.
Customers select the Shoppenboy who best fits their man’s body type and the Shoppenboy will model the clothes for size.
Here’s a video clip for those of you wishing to see a Shoppenboy shakin’ his stuff. Readers most likely to view the clip of Shoppenboy Laurent dancing in his knickers include IVD, CyberPete and Smunty the Cabin Boy.
The rest of you may opt instead to go about your preparations for the holidays.
