Funky Shades for The Hair Down There: Betty™

Sunday, July 27th, 2008 | Brands, Fashion, News with No Comments »

Coloring is in and those of you, who thought that one can color only one’s hair and moustaches and perhaps bleach one’s skin hair need a reality check! Many would chide themselves for even thinking about getting a colorful palette for their pubic growth. But as they say ‘necessity is the mother of invention’, collective conscious needs (read aspirations) led Nanci Jarecki to create dyes that bid greys down there bye-byes! Her Betty™ is raking in mullah for coloring the “…….” And “……” of both females and males some as aged as 80 yrs old! (Adventurous people, I say : D ). If you aren’t happy with the shade Mother Nature gifted you then gift yourself a new one by choosing any from the range at Betty - Blonde, Brown, Aurburn and Black for the regulars and Malibu, Fun and Starburst as exoticas!


Just in case you thought, I m talking about some weirdo punky-kinky store (the internet is full of such online buying options) kindly note that, bettybeauty.com is registered and quite a trusted company when it comes to customer satisfaction. Advertising Age did a feature on it and the concerned article in it describes the coming-into-beings and becoming-a-success of Betty. The company’s products are safe and tested by skin specialists. For the ordinary netizen the figure of over 100,000 happy customers and the company website’s beating out traffic numbers from competitors like Proctor and Gamble’s Clairol.com is a proof enough, of the site’s sanctity and product’s ingenuity! And besides buying it online, you can also get Betty at 300 retail salons in case you are tempted to try out that hot pink shade ;)

Having said all that, I was just wondering if Betty (or other similar product) is ever launched in a country like ours what a national furore it would create (bigger than what Rakhi Sawant-Mikka episode did!). While on one hand, VHP will declare it against Hindu sentiments, the Maulvis will issue a fatwā against all those who will dare to become its customers! :)
(Here, I would like to apologize to all those who might find my criticism offensive). With a neat intent all I wanted to say was, in case you want to fulfill your desire to color your pubic hair Betty dyes are a safe bet.

What do you want: Beauty or Blisters??

Saturday, June 30th, 2007 | Health with No Comments »

Are you aware that your regular make-up, which polishes your looks temporarily, actually causes everlasting disfigurement? Your transient beauty may catch the attention of the onlookers, but are its detrimental effects to your own skin known to you?

What do you want: Beauty or Blisters??
Researchers in the US have observed that the very procedures that are supposed to enhance beauty might actually result in unsightly side effects such as swelling or bumps, especially in people who suffer from allergic reactions.

Researchers from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) interviewed 92 women who had problems following the procedure. And just look at the shocking scale- more than nine out of ten women had swelling and tenderness and almost as many complained of itching with more than four out of five experiencing bumps.

What do you want: Beauty or Blisters??

In 43 out of 63 cases, the reactions had not healed at the time of the interview and the allergic reaction lasted anywhere from five months to more than three years, reported science portal News Medical.

US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also scrutinized the same results. FDA researchers said that when things go wrong they may be particularly bad because the pigments can be hard to remove.

A tremendous population of women rely on such makeup procedures so as to look more appealing and enchanting, not only in developed nations like US, but now with the ongoing trends, in developing countries like India too.

So here comes a warning for all you women taking delight in such momentary beauty! Because at the end of the day it is health, and not beauty, that matters.
