Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 10:33 AM
A Chicago company is banking off former governor Rod Blagojevich, just as he tried to bank off President Obama.
Blago It's Bleep'n Golden volumizing shampoo and conditioner sell for $8 each (or $15 as a pair) and are available through a company-sponsored Web site: blagohair.com.
Blagojevich was removed from office in January after being accused of screwing around and trying to sell President Obama's vacant Senate seat. The name of the products refers to a comment he allegedly made about the appointment: "I've got this thing and it's (expletive) golden.

Features The complexities of men's underwear
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 12:10 PM
When I read the headline of this story (High Anxiety Over Men's Underwear), I had to laugh. Men's underwear — now a $3.1 billion U.S. market — has become such an exhausting and convoluted segment of the fashion world. The age-old question used to be, boxers or briefs? Well, now you've got boxers, briefs, boxer-briefs, thongs, trunks and more. Calvin Klein offers 15 — yes, 15! — different underwear "groups."
"We're doing underwear with all of our energy and all of our creativity," says Bob Mazzoli, chief creative officer of Calvin Klein Underwear, which was an early leader in introducing stylish men's underwear. ..."We want to give him something that he can engage with and not be just that boring choice," Mr. Mazzoli says. "We don't think of it as just underwear."
Even just picking up a pair of cheap undies at Target because you didn't pack enough for a trip can be a time-consuming ordeal. I remember standing around in the men's underwear aisle, patiently waiting for my boyfriend to choose a package. Not only did he have to take size into account, but style, comfort and color were also factors. Sigh.
