1. The George Foreman grill b/c it used to be on an infomercial. I just LOVE it!

2. Winsor Pilates. I love the DVD's and have been using them for 2 years now. They work great and are very easy to follow along with.

3. There was this machine that claimed to straighten your hair while you brushed it. It had some spinning action to make it straighten. My mil ordered one for each of us which we promptly returned. It kept getting tangled in our hair and was NOT as easy as it looked on TV. Plus, it took me an hour to do 1/4 of my hair instead of the bullshit 20 minutes they claimed it took to do a whole head of hair. Total rip-off!

The George Foreman with the removable/washable plates! I forgot about GF. I'm no longer vegetarian since I got one for Christmas. :D

I totally remember that infomercial. Wasn't it the one where it claimed that it would "magically change your life"? My chapter sister ordered it because she thought it'd help us as we got do'ed up for her wedding. Good thing we tried it weeks before because it didn't work at all!

I saw a commericial earlier today for some magnetic necklace closures. They look helpful.

the funny thing is i was reading an ooooold issue of JANE magazine the other day, from i think 2004? and Jessica Simpson was talking about how accutane was the greatest thing ever, and her manager gave it to her for her acne, so methinks she doesn't actually use ProActiv.

The little old ladies in that commercial make me laugh:D

Didn't she get in trouble for being paid to endorse a line of jeans, then accidentally letting it slip in an interview that another line of jeans were her favorite? Seems like I remember her getting sued over it.

If that's the case, then I guess the Accutane vs. ProActive thing shouldn't be all that surprising.

I think it was Uma Thurman or Charlize Theron(sp?) who had a contract with one watch company, then was photographed wearing a Dior watch. She got in major trouble from what I heard.

Agreed, the GF Grill is TEH GREATNESS! I love mine, but I got it at Wally World (Wal-Mart), not off TEH television.

Oh man, I just saw a commercial for something like that the other day that looked like it worked really well and was planning on trying to find some reviews on it. From the commercials, it looked like it was amazing. I wonder if it's the same one.

Yes she did. She has that Princy by Jessica Simpson brand that they sell in the Brass Plum at Nordstrom (that's the only place I ever saw it) and they made jeans and casual clothes. Then in an interview someone asked her what her favorite jeans were and she said "True Religion". I believe the company sued her for breach of contract.

Hahhah! My fiance got me the magic bullet, bc I was always complaining about not having enough time to cook and whatnot. I had never seen the commercial, so when I opened this HUGE box that said Magic Bullet, I thought - What kinda toy is this big???? wow.


I still dont use it that often, but when I do, it's great.

Yup. That's the one! What it did was make me late b/c I had to redo my entire head of hair which is long & curly. 3/4 of my hair was in curls and 1/4 was in a frizzy semi-straight pouf.

Has anyone tried the hair straightener that has the plates with the fine combs built in? They show it on QVC or one of those shopping channels, and the guy that sells it has this huge frizzy, greased back ponytail. I always wonder why he's flat ironing the heck out of some girl's fro, but he has a frizzy mess of a ponytail?

I know who you are talking about--he's on HSN.

I wondered about his ponytail, too. I have the small straightener because my hair is short. It works well for bangs and straightening parts out that want to go bouffy. My hair is pretty curly and I like it.

Thay make me laugh too......and I have seen a lady wear that neclace connect thing with a thin neclace with her hair up and it looked really bulky.

O wow. I would have just laughed in her face:D

This isn't an infomercial/order off TV product, per say....but I just have to say that the new L'Oreal Vive Pro Conditioner that they've been advertising is TEH POO. It really did make my hair mirror shiny and cashmere soft!!

They demonstrated those at a fashion show, and they're not half bad. I would imagine that someone with arthritis or such would love them.

My brother got our dog the steps, but he won't use them. Maybe when he realizes he's not part flying squirrel he will, though.

ETA: I was recently given a food dehydrator, but there were no recipes with it. Does anyone else use one?

My mom does. I'm going home tonight, so I'll try to find some for you.

Thanks! One of the recipes I'm looking for the most is for jerky - both flavored and unflavored. I know way too many rock climbers, lol!

What kind of Dyson do you have? The reason I ask is that I have both the Dyson DC14 and the space bags, but the vaccuum nozzle doesn't fit the space bags! The Space Bags would come in handy for storing spare linens.

I'm not sure but I think it's the DC07. My nozzle doesn't fit them exactly either but the suction is so good on the Dyson and it sucks the air out anyway! haha.

No, but Zeta Tau Alpha does. Poor them. :(

lol

You SO win this thread!!

;)

I really wanted to cold heat to solder metal, (such as earrings, etc)

never got it because it probably wouldn't work

but the other day i was in at the liquor store and the guy had it and was fixing his daughters earrings and said it works great... now i'm not rushing out to buy it... but thought i might pass that along lol

Are you serious or just delusional? This is a message board. Geez, get over Tiffany, whoever she is.

Worth repeating.

I do hope that medication is an option.

Is she even a real person? I mean can we be sure that this isn't the most insanely funny sock puppet of all time?

(I say that having wasted half a day in this exchange.)

I thought this mess died down. :eek:

I just want to know if the damn sheer cover makeup that Laura Ingalls is pushing works or not. I thought that would be in this thread.

So I just bought the flip & fold from an infomercial and I love it. Folds clothes perfectly like nothing else. I used it to save space when I spent time in France.

bIueangel, what is your opinion on the flip & fold? Could you ask Tiffany about it, too?

Aw, you're stalking me. How cute. Gee whiz I take Strattera because I have ADD. You can't shame me because of it.

That said, you need to look into it. Particularly because if you refuse to take your meds, the court can order you to take them. And I'd hate to see that happen. Schizophrenia is not your fault. It's just part of who you are.

Laura Ingalls? Like... Wilder?

I didn't really see her as the makeup type. I mean she really had to push Ma to let her wear her hair with that newfangled "fringe" and I can't see Almanzo letting her be on TV! Their first four years were so hard though, I could understand if she just wants to look pretty now.

/googled and found nothing
//I <3 those books

I meant Melissa Gilbert, LOL

Laura let Almanzo put his arm around her in the buggy before they were even engaged. Whore.

Why does every thread seem to become derailed? All I want to know is what works and what doesn't. Apparently keeping a thread on topic doesn't work. Don't bother replying, I have you on ignore so I won't see it.

OMG I know right!

(I assume she played Laura on the TV show? I never got into that...)
