• All Signs Point to Awesome

  [Photo via] You have no idea how thrilled I am about the fact that I found this image on Flickr. I mean, the fact that there actually is a street called "Awesome" is the awesomest thing I've ever heard. I mean, well, it's up there. For some truly awesome signage, however, I'd like to recommend Mooza Designs: Read More...

• Shave Standing Up

  Legs this hot are hard work. Women face sharp razors, slippery showers, and sometimes even hot wax in order to achieve the most touchable legs possible. It's a pain in the ass. Read More...

• Bathtubs You Won't Fall Into at Night

  Just yesterday, I posted about these gorgeous, in-floor bathtubs that had gotten my heart racing. My enthusiasm was somewhat dampened — though not completely squelched — when Shaun pointed out the possible overflow problems. I mean, it was a possibility I was willing to live with if only so I could pretend that I was constantly on vacation, with a swim-up bar and infinity-edge pool overlooking the ocean. Then, MM reader Nikki asked whether or not it came with a cover. So that she would not fall in and drown at night. And I decided that maybe I should put my in-floor tub dreams to rest. So I'm moving onto to freestanding tubs, and I'm especially enamored of the brightly-colored tubs available at AstonMatthews: Read More...

• Poop!

  [$22, Seibi] Ah, poop jokes. Definitely not the height of comedy, and quite possibly the depth. Yet, the mere act of mentioning poop, as seen on the shirt above, is nowhere near as gross as this: Read More...

• My Disgusting Bathtub

  [Photo via] My bathtub is too disgusting to sit down in (though it's probably better since we gave it that thorough scrubbing a few weeks ago). I swear. If you let me have one of these bathtubs, I'll scrub it every day: Read More...

• Commode and Play

  [Photo via] Ah, the outhouse. Not exactly a designer bathroom, but it does have its charms. Now let's think about the exact polar opposite of the outhouse. The result? Well, it's the annual Bathroom Innovation Awards.    Okay, okay, I know. "Bathroom Innovation Award" sounds like the punchline to a bad joke about bowel movements. But let's just say that what the name lacks in originality, the designs make up for in general awesomeness: Read More...

• Juke Box Hero

  I just don't know what it is. Every time I sing in the shower, my cat yowls and my upstairs neighbors pound on the floor. It can't be that my repertoire includes only two full-fledged songs: Hollaback Girl and Sweet Child of Mine. I mean, who wouldn't want to hear those over and over again? Oh, right. My horrific singing voice. (Which, by the way, is the vocal equivalent of Elaine Benes dancing.) Well, perhaps this little gadget will make my shower performances less painful: Read More...

• Quick Tip of the Day: Please Shower

  Not just because you smell, but because, seriously, why would you want to skip out on one of the awesomest parts of the day? You can make it even awesomer with one of these swanky-looking shower heads from Bossini s.p.a. I'm especially intrigued by their new Aquavolo shower head, which allows you to switch between rainfall and waterfall: Read More...

• Test Drive: Feeling Just a Tinge of Excitement (Down There)

  You guys! Check out this razor I just got myself! It's pretty, it's pink, it comes with its own charging dock, and it can bring me to orgasm in five and a half minutes! No. I know. I don't usually place razor-sharp blades near my clitoris either, but I just couldn't help myself this time around. You see...this razor is actually a (waterproof) vibrator in disguise! Not only that, but it's also one of the few discreet vibrators out there that also functions as the object it's designed to look like. After the jump, we explore this further, and I explain why it's okay to place sharp objects near your vajayjay, risk-free. Read More...

• When It's Not Enough to Say Goodbye

  Here at MM, we are most definitely looking forward. That said, we're also not quite ready to let our former president rest in relative Texan peace.

• Guess the Product: Party or Pamper

  1. It can get wet. 2. It runs on batteries. 3. It floats. 4. You can see it in the dark. 5. It allows you to bring the dance floor to your booty, instead of, you know, the other way around.  So what is it? Read More...

• Keep a 5-Star Bathroom

  While nothing beats the comfort of home — your own pillow-top mattress, your own overly-generous pile of blankets, your comfortably worn and smooshy couch — hotel bathrooms have a tendency to impress, with their jacuzzi tubs, endless supply of hot water, and magically appearing fresh towels. Step things up in your at-home bathroom. Scrub down the tub. Wash the bath mat once in awhile. Upgrade your shower head. Heck, invest in perpetually heated towels: Read More...

• Lather, Rinse, Reload

  Can I admit something here? I hate decorative soaps. I have a gallon-sized plastic Ziplock bag in my bathroom that serves as a decorative soaps graveyard, where those waxy, over-scented bars go to die. What exactly do you do with decorative soaps? You can't shower with them (I learned this the hard way after running out of normal soap and desperately breaking into a package of French soaps shaped like those men in bowler hats from Magritte's paintings). You can't put them in a soap dish next to the sink (thus tricking your unsuspecting house guests into a fate similar to the afore-mentiond showering experience). So what exactly is their purpose? Well, German designer Andreas Kraeftner might have finally changed my mind about decorative soaps with his Ghetto Basics decorative soap design: Read More...

• Quick Tip of the Day: Sit or Squat

  This is disgusting, but — whilist driving through Brooklyn, a spectacularly rich dinner behind me — my stomach tightened and twisted and I knew that, if I didn't find a public restroom, STAT, all of my organs would end up coming out of my throat from the pressure of clenching my ass. I distractedly drove toward Manhattan, my face pale and sweating, when I miraculously came upon a gas station Dunkin Donuts. With no other options in sight, I pulled into the lot with a screech.

• Have That Perfect Movie Moment At Home

  You know that moment in a movie when the guy is running after a girl, and stops the girl, and confesses how everything was a big mix-up, and then they kiss in the rain, and the music soars?

• Love It or Leave It: A Shitty Lamp

  Well, nothing makes a statement like having a toilet plunger lamp hanging in your home. Yes, it's made from a real toilet plunger, and the description claims it's a great addition to the bathroom or kitchen. Thanks, but no thanks. What do you think--love it or leave it? Read More...

• Quick Tip of the Day: Start Things Off Right

  How I Start My Day: 7:30 a.m.: Alarm goes off. I hit snooze and stare at the ceiling. 7:37 a.m.: Alarm goes off again. I continue to stare at the ceiling as classical music pulses from the clock radio. Cat #1 strolls onto my chest and lies down his big head in my face. Cat #2 stares mournfully at me from the dresser at the foot of the bed. The kitten walks over and lies on my neck. I consider this a good excuse for not moving. 7:46 a.m. I twist around and turn off the clock. The cats walk off in a huff. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed, slide into my flip-flops, and curse the day. 7:47 a.m. I take a piss, brush my teeth, and swish some ACT around in my mouth. All of this is done in a state of miserable semi-consciousness. I am not nearly as excited about my toothbrush as the kitten is. Perhaps a more exciting toothbrush would at least make me smile before I trudged over to my desk and fired up the computer? Read More...
