Rainy day time wasters

What?!? Mardi Gras has been canceled?
And here I was all set today for seafood gumbo and a stroll with the Clydesdales.

To combat the doldrums of this rainy day, might I suggest a few good time wasters:

Best Dressed at Symphony Ball, Orange Mardi Gras and Super Bowl

Were you Seen this weekend at the Symphony Ball, Orange Mardi Gras Parade or out celebrating the Saints' Super Bowl victory? Find out here.

Here are our picks for best dressed from these fun weekend events!


We deemed this photo best from the Symphony Ball (Tango Argentine 2010) because of that absolutely fabulous necklace! We like that the wearer kept the focus on her dazzling accessory by wearing her hair up and off her neckline. She also kept it simple and looks stunning by wearing small earrings. See who was seen at Symphony Ball here.

Keeping the accessory train rolling, we picked this photo as best from the Orange Mardi Gras Parade. From that crazy hat, to the crimped wig and that funky top, this reveler clearly knows how to let the good times roll! See who was Seen at Orange Mardi Gras here.

Congratulations to all Saints fans on your team's stunning victory. We loved this shot from the Buffalo Wild Wings Super Bowl viewing party because the whole family rolled in style: complete with matching Drew Brees' jerseys. Geaux Saints! See who was Seen at Madison's and Buffalo Wild Wings Sunday here.

The thong is dead?!? I blame Sisqo

Cosmopolitan magazine (self-proclaimed expert of all things beauty and sex) has declared the thong dead. (I know! Color me shocked!)

Thongs, long the destroyer of a visible panty line, are said to be declining in sales, according to the magazine. Boy shorts are surpassing the cheeky underwear by leaps and bounds among consumers.

"Boy shorts make our asses look so amazing. Let's face it, unless you're blessed with Gisele–like DNA, it's likely that a string bisecting your backside wasn't doing your figure any favors. Most boy shorts have a seam running down the middle of the butt, which accentuates the curvature of the bum for any body, giving the illusion of a Kardashian–style keister," the magazine reports.

I am contemplating hosting a farewell thong party. Guests can bring their stash and we can ceremoniously burn panties while jamming to Sisqo's "Thong Song."

What? You forgot about Sisqo? Who could forget these classic lyrics?
"She had dumps like a truck truck truck. Thighs like what what what. All night long. Let me see that thong."

For those of you who might have forgotten this poetic rapper, relive the magic of the 90s and white thongs under a black light below.

Best dressed at Harlem Globetrotters

Our Seen photographer was out and about last night, taking shots of all the local Harlem Globetrotter fans. (Click here to see all the photos.) We picked this mom/son duo as Best Dressed for their fun, casual looks.

Any sports fan will tell you: you can't go to a game without a jersey. And this little guy looks thrilled to be sporting a Harlem jersey. His mom, prepared for possibly cool temperatures inside Ford Arena, looks great (and comfy) in this fashionable, fitted denim jacket.

So, how was the game?

Disney Tiny Tink jewelry recalled for excessive lead

Things are not so peachy in Neverland.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Wednesday announced a voluntary recall of Disney's Tiny Tink and Friends Children’s Toy Jewelry Sets.

The commission estimates 252,000 Tink products sold between November 2008 and November 2009 are impacted by the recall.

According to the commission, a cylindrical metal connector on a Tink and Friends charm can contain levels of lead in excess of 300 parts per million, which is prohibited under federal law.

So far, no injuries have been reported.

Below are the product numbers of items being recalled:

Item # UPC # Description
74634 0 43377 74634 8 Tinker Bell's Lil’ Tinker Bracelet
74641 0 43377 74641 6 Tinker Bell's Lil’ Tinker Bracelet
74631 0 43377 74631 7 Rosetta's Rosebud Key Chain
74632 0 43377 74632 4 Silvermist's Water Lily Necklace

Charms that have plastic tabs instead of metal rings and cylinders are not included in this recall.

If your child has one of these contaminated toys, you should immediately take the charm and cord away from children, discard the items, and contact Playmates Toys for a replacement charm accessory.

Playmates toys can be contacted at (888) 810-1133 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.

Monopoly cheaters kill the bank, cut corners

Monopoly is turning 75 this year.

Hasbro is revolutionizing the game by introducing debit cards that eliminate the banker, aka your cheating brother, and creating sound effects for when you land on Chance or Community Chest. Another kicker? You get $2 million when you pass go and real estate prices have joined the 21st century.

Oh, and the most obvious change: The board is now round. According to Hasbro, they always intended to make the board round but opted for the traditional square version just before the release all those years ago.

So, will you buy the new game?

Put the V in Valentine's with a vulva pendant

Can't decide what to get your lady friend for Valentine's Day?

VulvaLoveLovely, an artist listed on Etsy.com, can make your gal a custom pendant of her va-jay-jay.

"Each piece is an original, one of a kind hand sculpted image of its owner," the artist writes on their Etsy page.

For $48, you can e-mail 2-3 photos of your vulva to the artist. A customized pendant will then be crafted by the artist and finished with a protective satin glaze. You can customize your pendant with a choker necklace or chain.

"Take pleasure in the fact that when someone tells you that your necklace is beautiful, they are really saying they think your Vulva is the bees knees."

'Mickey Mouse' hands get touchy-feely this Valentine's

Want to ensure your girlfriend kicks your butt to the curb this Valentine's Day?

Then invest in this little gem: The Hug E Gram.


(Thanks. S)

It's creepy how the little 'Hug E' hands look like they once belonged to a stuffed Mickey Mouse doll. I like to imagine some tragic mishap in a Disney factory led to the creation of this fine display of love.

So tell us. What are you getting your sweetheart for Valentine's?

Pajama Jeans make 'Casual Fridays' even more relaxed

"...Designer jeans can bunch and pinch." True. If you need to go a size up.

For you ladies who find jeans "uncomfortable," allow me to introduce the Pajama Jean. A pant so comfortable, the makers swear they feel like sweats. Unfortunately, I think they also look a bit like workout pants. Unless you are long and lean like the Pajama Jean models in the video below, folks are likely to notice you are wearing fake jeans.

Best Dressed at Jason Aldean, La Soiree and Neptune Ball

It was a wild Southeast Texas weekend and The Beaumont Enterprise was everywhere you were, capturing your photos for our Seen galleries.

Check out the best dressed from the Jason Aldean concert at Ford Park, La Soiree and the Royal Krewe of Neptune's grand ball.



These teens look comfortable and fun with their plaid pearl snaps. They dressed the part of country concert goers, but added a modern flair with their brightly colored tops. See more photos from the Jason Aldean concert here.




This couple looks sharp. From his pinstripe suit and silver tie to her flawless makeup, this pair's look is impeccable. I just wish we could see more of her beautiful dress. See more La Soiree photos here.


The good times rolled Saturday night in Port Arthur. And this pair's unique look sums up everything for me: The Royal Krewe of Neptune's Grand Ball was an awesome event! Mardi Gras is the one time of year, aside from Halloween, when you can dress as crazy as you want. I love it when folks embrace the spirit of Mardi Gras. You guys look great!
