Your dog Miffy is just like you. She has a bed that looks like yours, shoes for when the sun is blazing and her paws need protecting, an argyle sweater for when it’s chilly, and more toys than your daughter does. You just wish she looked a little more like you. Now she can.

Total Diva Pets, the ultimate in hilarious petwear, has a line of dog wigs for your little fluffball. Offering many styles, including “The Celebutante,” “The Pin-up,” “The Bobcat Pink” and “The Bobcat Amber,” Total Diva Pets makes these wigs very easy to get on your pups, with a little chin strap and ear holes. They arrive in a mini hair net to keep them looking nice, in a hatbox-shaped container. Also coming for Halloween are clown and mullet styles. There’s nothing like a dog with a mullet.

So now your dog can look even more like you- even if you’re a hick or clown.

We’re debuting our little Lucy in “The Celebutante” at a stylish party this weekend- we’ll let you know the response she gets.


Hero For A Day

We all feel a little bit like heroes. Some of us feel that way because we can’t stop watching that show on NBC and we’re getting a little too into it. Some feel that way because we attend numerous black-tie charity fashion show dinners. Some feel that harping on their dads to stop smoking is a way of saving lives. I feel lke a hero cause my brother is allergic to peanuts and I stopped him from eating this granola bar that said “may or may not include nuts” on the label.

All good reasons.

Well legitimize your fascinations with yourself by visiting Hero Builders, the site that custom-builds action figures to look just like you. That’s right. For only $425 they’ll make the mold and one figure. You then pick the colors, tattoos, clothing, and options, right down to the last earring. Oh, and don’t forget to look through their available weapons for the gun/machete/bow and arrow that fits you best, and record your voice clip if you want to build a talking doll.  After they’ve perfected you, order $39.95 replicas for all of your adoring fans.

You do have fans, don’t you?

We love cupcakes, and have even before the fad hit. First Magnolia Bakery in NYC appeared on Sex and the City, then they were everywhere- in cookbooks, on shirts, in newly-opened cupcake shops, in Jessica Simpson’s edible lotion ads, in every different form. It seems the whole nation had fallen in love with not only the taste of cupcakes, but the concept of cute little fluffy puffy girly cakes in a cup.

While we still love that side of the spectrum, Johnny Cupcakes has a whole different take on the baked good. Check out their awesome line of accessories and unisex T-shirts, each of which show the cupcake in an entirely different light. We love the shirts that feature a cupcake and crossbones, a set of teeth with a cupcake grill on them, and the famous E.T. moon silhouette.

Way back when TV programs were only on 3 channels until 11p.m., there was a little test screen of multiple colors that displayed once the shows were over for the evening. Apparently somebody over at D&G thought those random squares of neon colors would be a cool idea for a watch.

We normally love the fun, frisky D&G fashion masterpieces, laugh at their semi-creepy magazine spreads and spritz their oh-so-sweet Light Blue fragrance, but we think they must’ve been shrooming when they did this.

What do we know? The Medicine Man watch is actually their best-selling watch of all time. It’s water-resistant up to 50 meters, has a stainless steel bracelet, quartz movement, and a 1970’s face and feel.

Visit D&G Time to turn on your own mini-TV.


Give Bare Legs the Boot!

After sitting through numerous fall fashion shows, one starts to feel a little short, fat, and poor. With the amazing clothing, bright lights, long legs and loud music, sitting on the sidelines starts to get a little depressing. But look at all big department store shows, and you’ll notice one easy-to-replicate fall look that will make you look long, lean and totally in-the-know.

Opaque black tights and little booties! Yup, under every cinched coat, cocktail dress and tweed skirt was this all-black canvas. The pairing makes legs look endless! These Louboutins the kind you can wear all the way through January, and will match each and every garment you put on.

You may still feel a little poor, but at least you’ll look tall and thin. Saks Fifth Avenue.

It’s hard to not be aware of breast cancer when fall rolls around. Once October hits, the pink ribbons, yogurt lids, socks, wristbands and pins are just about everywhere.

Ralph Lauren, founder of “Fashion Targets Breast Cancer” and Net-A-Porter have created this rainbow of polos- so you can donate to the cause and still remain fashionable. Choose from five fun colors and FTBC will add to the $40 million they’ve donated since their lanch in 1994.

But you might want to try wearing yours with pants.


Tailgate This

So your husband/boyfriend/dad/guy friend/brother makes you tailgate all the time. Sure you care about your alma mater, but there’s only so much you can take. After you’ve peed behind a bush, listened to that portable radio for an hour, sat on an itchy wool blanket and killed a sick moth, you have to wonder if it might’ve been more fun to watch the game elsewhere. Actually, when you found out that the only food around was brats, you knew it would have been more fun to watch the game elsewhere.

Well, next season you can pimp your tailgate with a Gameday Custom Trailer. This Long Beach-based company customizes these trailers with more options than some houses have. You can watch DVDs or satellite TV on your LCD, have a rave with your 1000-watt generator, wash your hands in running water, use your toilet, BBQ and even pour beer from the complete draft system.

Don’t worry, there’s also a microwave option so you can count on more culinary choices than just that stack of tubesteaks.


Hot Water

There are so many important water decisions. Do you want to buy bottled or drink tap at dinner? Should you be thrifty and fill up your nalgene bottle or go for the generic .49 lame kind at the 7-11? Should you show you’re a member of Team Aniston by spending an extra buck and buying Smart Water? Maybe you’re feeling upscale and want a nice clean bottle of $1.99 Fiji, or are going black-tie and want to invest in a sexy glass Voss. Is there even a diff in the H20 at all? Is it worth it to drop extra cash?

Evian says yes. Their newly released “Palace” bottle is exclusive to special resorts, restaurants and nightclubs, bringing their brand to new VIP levels. Every drop of the water has taken a 15-year trip down the French Alps and surfaced from the springs in Evian-Les-Baines, France. The now-ritzy water, which comes in a glass container with a stainless steel coaster and special pourer, is the ultimate in sleek. This luxury carafe was designed by the industry’s top restauranteurs and sommeliers to continue recent water upgrade trends and add another couple bills to your tab. Yup, now you can pay up to twenty bones for what you once got for free in elementary school drinking fountains.

But at least you’ll look awesome drinking it. Evian.

You’ve just moved into your new place, you’ve bought a whole new living room of furniture, and you can’t help but feel like you’re in one of those mass-produced Ikea models.  Let’s face it, you did buy the matching couch/loveseat/chair set, the wooden table/TV stand set, vase set #2 and artwork to match.  You like it, but you feel like a boring sellout. 

Maybe you should have spent a little time at Altar Your Space before you loaded all those $89 ottomans and $14 pillows onto your oversize flat rolling thing.

This awesome blog helps you create a soothing, peaceful, unique home. It also explains how to better the energy of your space, which eventually will spill over into the rest of your life- making you more relaxed, happier and balanced. They cover everything from music to organization to party tips and shopping, with pretty photography and informative posts.

Hopefully it’ll be enough to bring you, and your all-white Ikea room, to a better place.


Babies Fight Back

Don’t you just hate it when your baby is shot at?  When toxic fumes seep through the vents in your walls?  We all know we’ve faced horrifying baby-muggings. 

Now you can keep your toddler safe against whatever bullets, gasses, criminals, riots, shrapnel and bombs might come their way.  Stella Stevenson, founder of Bullet Proof Baby, built and developed her site after her first son was almost killed in a drive by shooting. She sells all the tools your baby needs to survive assault, nuclear bombs, biological warfare, shootings, and hunting accidents.

The site’s sections include “Baby Camo,” which includes all the attire necessary to keep your baby hidden in the woods, “Armor,” which features the bulletproof baby vest, “My First Riot Helmet” and bomb blankets, “Homeware,” which includes bulletproof cribs and strollers and “Chemical Defense,” where one can find baby gas masks.

Let’s hope Kevin Federline oufits Sean Preston and little Jayden James with this garb before he ships em over to mom’s house.
