Are you ready…

I’m not quite sure if FEMA is the first place most people would turn for preparedness information, but can you really prepare for a nuclear blast? Apparently you can, see the FEMA website at – http://www.fema.gov/areyouready/nuclear_blast.shtm

Although lightning supposedly never strikes the same spot twice, you can also be prepared for lightning. And if you happen to be “anywhere you feel your hair stand on end (which indicates that lightning is about to strike),” you should “Squat low to the ground on the balls of your feet. Place your hands over your ears and your head between your knees. Make yourself the smallest target possible and minimize your contact it the ground. DO NOT lie flat on the ground.” So now you know. Visit www.fema.gov for these and other helpful survival tips.

Dr. Rey on HSN

We were flipping though channels tonight and somehow we stopped on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Dr. Rey (from Dr. 90210) was selling his “Shapewear.” It’s essentially spandex undergarments to help women appear more shapely.

The models looked a little awkward to begin with, but it felt even more awkward – and a little creepy – the way Dr. Rey touched the models. In just the half hour I watched he made some of the funniest guestures and comments I’ve heard in some time. Here are couple samples of things he actually said on the air…

“Women come into my office and tell me they don’t like their bodies, but I get them to take off their clothes, and they show me their bodies… it’s so cool!”

“I’m Brazilian. We start at the butt and work our way up.”

“I love women and I love women’s parts… it’s so pretty!”
