May He Rest in Yeast

GiggleSugar — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:00:00 PDT

This 67-year-old Chicago man is planning for the future - with the end in mind. He's survived five whopping heart attacks and has come to terms with passing away someday, but not before getting his custom made Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can inspired casket completed in time for his departure. If the dude's life "revolves" around his fave beer, then why can't his afterlife? The obsession may sound absurd and sick, but where there's a beer - there's a way. See the "end" result below.

Would You Attend a Family Funeral of an Ex?

DearSugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:00:00 PDT

Two of Cameron Diaz's ex-boyfriends - Justin Timberlake and John Mayer - attended the memorial service for Cameron's father held this weekend. Maybe they just wanted to support her or maybe they had a good relationship with her dad, either way I found the news rather touching.

Sometimes it's important for exes to put aside their differences during tough times. I definitely have some ex-boyfriends who I would reach out to if they had a death in the family. I've also built relationships with exes' family members, especially their parents, whose funerals I would want to attend if tragedy struck.

What about you? Do you have exes who you'd want to be there for if they had a death in the family? And how would you feel if an ex did the same for you?

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:00:22 PDT

Funerals are never planned, but we all end up attending one sooner or later. I always find choosing the appropriate thing to wear a difficult task - you have to balance subtle with chic, and even err on the conservative side.

Last week I asked what to wear if you found yourself attending a funeral this Fall. I started you off with this Lanvin Pearls & Satin Necklace, $450, because it's understatedly chic - just make sure you put the bow in the back! To see all the Fall funeral Fab Finds, go here.

The Vampire Diaries "Our Town": The Good, The Bad, and The Bloody

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:15:48 PST

After last week's epic kiss, this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries is almost a little disappointing, except that so many other crazy non-Elena/Damon things happen. It's Caroline's birthday, but it's not all cake and tequila shots with her friends, and Stefan tries his hardest to be a baddie but just ends up looking like a jerk.

On the Damon and Elena front, she's still feeling bad for having Jeremy sent away, and Bonnie has some harsh words for the already guilty-feeling Elena. I'm ready to get down into it, so if you are too, let's deconstruct it into the good, the bad, and the bloody after the break.

5 Funniest Quotes From the Desperate Housewives Cast About Their Final Season

Shannon Vestal — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:29:35 PST

ABC introduced several new shows at the Winter TCA, but the network closed out the day with a hit that's wrapping up its final run: Desperate Housewives. The soap is on its last season, so creator Marc Cherry joined the cast, including Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher, and Felicity Huffman, to talk about the rest of the last season. The cast and crew had a lot of funny things to say about the matter, so I've highlighted the best quotes from the panel below.

"The hair and makeup people will go through more hell than they've ever gone through." - Cherry, confirming that he was going to "do a Hitchcock" and cameo in the very last episode
"It might have been my garbage men." - Longoria, on having once said she needed to buy a house with a garage because people were standing in her driveway when the show started getting popular
"This is like having the funeral before you die." - Huffman, commenting on everyone talking about the final season before it aired
"I'm never sending these girls to Dubai." - Cherry, on there being no plans for a Desperate Housewives movie, and simultaneously making a Sex and the City 2 joke
"It gets higher?!" - Longoria's reaction to Huffman's reciting the fact that 60% of first marriages end in divorce and 80% of second marriages end in divorce

Creepy or Cool? Illamasqua Launches Funeral Makeup Service

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 10:20:00 PDT

If you dread the idea of going into the afterlife without perfect eyeliner, makeup brand Illamasqua will now let you plan out the makeup you want to wear at your own funeral. "To wear the most fabulous makeup applied by a professionally trained makeup artist for your final journey is the ultimate statement of celebration," according to the company's blog, and they're billing the service as "the final act of self-expression."

Leaving a beautiful corpse will cost you about $800, and you'll have to choose Leverton & Sons in the London area as your funeral home, since Illamasqua is providing the service in collaboration with those specific undertakers. Some women won't leave home without their "face" on, but do you think the people who are mourning you will really care if your eye shadow isn't perfectly coordinated with your casket lining?
