WTF? Placenta teddy bear

Okay, this is just straight up nas-tay... this teddy bear is  made from a placenta!  Yes, I said placenta. Are you still with me here? Don't be fooled - even though it looks like a leathery empanada bear, it is indeed crafted solely from afterbirth. Could anyone please explain to me why this is a good idea?

Why?

WHY?!!?!

I need to go have a serious talk with my uterus now, just to be sure it's not hatching some kind of crazy plan behind my back.

Retail Therapy - Bernshaw vintage strapless dress

Check out this vintage beauty... it would be fun to modernize it with a sleek cuff bracelet, super chic stilettos, and an unexpected clutch.

If the Shoe Fits, Buy It! Chinese Laundry Attitude pump

I am ringing in the new year with a horrible flu, but admiring this pair of lovely emerald pumps is making me feel a good bit better! The high heel and d'Orsay style vamp are incredibly flattering, but my most favorite part is the way the top meets in a point over your toes - almost like a sweetheart neckline for your foot.  I already own pairs of these wondrous shoes in two colors (this green and an ombre in black to coppery brown) and am in search of the sunflower yellow pair as well. They also come in a variety of other amazing tones, like a peacock teal and a rich blood red.

Feed Me Now! RumJungle

RumJungle

Location: Las Vegas Strip - Mandalay Bay

Prices: Expensive

Good for: A filling start to a big night out

Pros: Biggest rum bar in the world; huge selection for meat eaters; super cool clubby atmosphere.

Cons: Not a single option on the menu for a non-meat-eater... though I was able to specially request their "top-secret" vegetarian option, the price was not available for my perusal.


Ratings and Recommendations:

9/10 - Coconut shrimp - One of the best versions of coconut shrimp that I have ever tasted... these were perfectly crispy, with the right batter/shrimp ratio and balance between sweet and savory.

0/10 - Vegetarian tofu plate - steamed tofu napoleon stacked with vegetables and surrounded by bits of fried tofu. This dish wins the honor of receiving my first zero score ever. It was unspeakably awful. I ate about 8 bites but could not handle any more... and for a hefty $30 price tag, this was not cool. I know a meat-centric restaurant need not be known for their vegetarian options, but I would have preferred a bagged salad or a can of Green Giant veggies. Utterly disgusting.

9/10 - Pineapple coconut rice - steamed white rice flavored with pineapple and coconut. Wow! This was super delicious rice... it had a slightly complex, sweet flavor that would pair well with savory or spicy dishes. I am now on a mission to recreate this at home.

Notes: This is a Brazilian barbeque style restaurant, so the servers wander around with giant sticks of meat ready to serve you - thus, it is a great choice for a meat eater. I am not the best judge of a restaurant specializing in meat, but the only vegetarian entree option at RumJungle was absolutely heinous.

Throwback - Guess Who?

This was a pretty darn fun game - you had to ask the best questions to narrow down the field of possibilities in the most efficient manner, and then craftily guess who your opponent had selected!

I preferred to ask more narrowly tailored questions once I cut the initial options down:

• Does your person look like he is statutorily required to introduce himself to the neighbors when he moves into the neighborhood? (Bald guy in the back row, I'm looking at you...)
• Does your person look like she watches Lifetime movie-of-the-week marathons while sobbing into her cat's fur? (A beret? Really, lady?)
• Does your person look like an amatuer taxadermist / bolo tie collector? (Ahem, Justin in Row 2)
• Does your person look like someone who would be "randomly selected" for additional screening at the airport? (Back left, consider a little eyebrow wax maybe?)
