You know what they say about a dude on stilts: he's gotta a whole lotta bounce. Need I say more?

David Beckham and 7,000 Performers Say Cheerio to Beijing

LibertySugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:03:00 -0700

China put on a spectacular goodbye to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. David Beckham and a red double-decker bus made appearances, helping China pass the torch to London, which will hold the games in 2012. David wasn't the only star shining among the many fireworks; Leona Lewis and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page also entertained the athletes and spectators.

The United States left Beijing with the most overall medals (110), while China got the most golds (51). China celebrated its success with a show that included flying drummers, unicyclists, bouncing gymnasts on stilts, and a human trampoline.

And I Am a Material Dog. . .

Wearing high-heels requires a little practice on every gal's part. Making a dog do it is downright cruel-though amusing, you gotta admit. Surprisingly, the pup wears those pumps like an old pro, or like a befuddled Pink Panther on stilts.

Ask E. Jean For DearSugar: I Can't Handle My Old Love During the Holidays!

E Jean Carroll — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 10:00:27 -0800

Dear E. Jean,

Every year at this time - and I’m a total wreck throughout the holidays! - I start wondering about my old boyfriend, the love of my life. We were extremely happy together, though “happy” doesn’t begin to describe the mind-bending 10 months we spent together. He moved to California to get his doctorate at Stanford, we could never get the long-distance thing to work, and our romance ended abruptly. I have never known why, exactly.

Need I tell you, E. Jean, the breakup came at Christmas? And that we ended it on the phone? I have had other boyfriends since, of course. They were smart, talented, charming men, but nobody makes my heart beat like my old love. (I’ve also turned down two very eligible marriage proposals and my mother is ready to kill me!)

Here’s my question: Every year my old love calls to wish me a merry Christmas. My agony of joy and horror starts in around Thanksgiving, and now it’s approaching its usual fever pitch. I’m a basket case!

I can’t take this! I’ve put my whole life on hold for six years! Do I ignore his call this year and finally move on? Can I endure one more stilted conversation with the man I still love and no doubt always will love till I die? - Sitting by the Phone

Miss Sitting, My Sugar Plum -

Forget the phone. Phones are for amateurs. Pack your bags, get on a damn plane, and go see him. The best way to get over a man is to remove the mystery. (When the mystery goes, love goes with it.) Wear something killer, meet him for cocktails, and ask him why he “abruptly” ended your affair. You will be half-way out of love with him by the end of the conversation.

Of course, you may walk into the gin joint after all these years . . . your eyes will lock . . . and your will crash into each other’s arms like felled trees. Either way, get on that plane!

Word Of The Day: Meels

GiggleSugar — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 08:00:00 -0700

Meels (Man + High Heels): Holy Androgyny! The newest trend to hit the runways of Milan are meels coupled with meggings (man + leggings). Marjan Pejoski is the designer responsible for this fashion forward move and although he took one step back with the graceless swan choke-hold of a dress Bjork wore way back when, he's now making meel-high strides in the area of gender equity. Finally, men get to walk on stilts all day and see how it feels! (I secretly think they're hot!) Now if only Pejoski could design something to take care of that prevalent moob (man + boob) problem? Ahem, ahem...
