I can't believe she brought up the vibrating mascara but neglected to make fun of Latisse.

@Valkyrie607: I think it was because she made fun of it in another Target: Women :) I thought it was going to be Latisse, too, but it was just a vibrating mascara wand. #sarahhaskins

You can't tell me that the vibrating mascara doesn't have an ulterior motive . . . and to that, I say, just get the real thing, chicas:

And buy regular mascara. #sarahhaskins

What is the purpose of that thing for your boobs? So one boob does not crush the other boob while your sleeping? Is that how you prevent different size boobs? #sarahhaskins

"The instant facelift ones are the worst, because they really prey on the aging, as if there's anything you can do about aging."

Tell that to the new "Age Management Clinic" that just opened near my office. Seriously -- age management. #sarahhaskins

@SarahMC: I experienced a huge moment of shame.

I have those, the Euro version (MBT). And yes, I wear them to um, exercise in. Managed to somehow not grok it as beyond absurd until three minutes ago. Smug in my belief that ladies who order a Chinmaster use them while wearing the equivalent of a tin foil hat, but here in SomeAuthorGirlLand, $250 ugly ass sneakers are somehow entirely sane. #sarahhaskins

@SomeAuthorGirl: I don't think the product is bad, but the marketing is at issue.

Actually the design does look like it might help flex your calf muscles while walking, combining the regular cardio and muscle workout of a walk with the benefits of doing toe/heel lifts. #sarahhaskins

I prefer this mask. You wear it overnight and in the morning you look like Anthony Hopkins. #sarahhaskins

I'm so glad she took on the vibrating mascara wand. Maybe I'm just a supreme klutz, but I'm already dangerous enough with the mascara wand or eyeliner pencil next to the delicate eyeball. I don't need the sucker vibrating around to make it even harder to control! #sarahhaskins

dude. When they zoom in on the woman in the plastic mask's eye? It's either saying "I am the king of France" or "Remember remember the 5th of November." #sarahhaskins

In reply to Fear Meets Sex Appeal In Drug-Detecting Lip Gloss
The thing that seems kind of stupid about this gloss is that on top of all of the restrictions about it not working in wine or fruit juice drinks is that most "date"-rapes take place when a woman has had nothing more than alcohol. Because that's the point of these drugs, to incapacitate you in the way alcohol does, or to speed up the effects of alcohol.

The notion that date rapes only take place after drinks are spiked does give women a false sense of security that as long as their drinks are clean, they'll be fine. This gloss definitely doesn't help that.

And honestly, I've heard people say things like, "well was she actually date-raped, was she roofied? or did she just drink too much and make a bad decision?" There is this notion that a date-rape can't really happen unless someone has been drugged with a benzo or GHB. As always, the problem seems to be getting men to realize that "having sex" with a woman who can't say no is rape.
