It's official: muffin top is a word, whether you or like it or not

Muffin tops rank right up there with cellulite as a battleground on women's bodies.

Now it's also an official word in the Oxford English Dictionary. Defined thus, as "a protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers."

Unfortunately.

Which reminds me, I need to go work out.

Vidal Sassoon: a Documentary

I've always loved hair and fashion, so the name Vidal Sassoon definitely has a specific connotation for me. So it was with great interest I listened to an interview with him on NPR regarding the documentary of his life. Very interesting to hear how a man came from such abject poverty to creating iconoclastic hairstyles.

The NPR article also has a slide show of Sassoon's famous hairstyles. I had one in the 80s, the asymmetrical cut. It was a fun trip down memory lane to see some of those famous hairstyles.
