  Howto & Style

You know America is too damn fat and lazy when you can make multi-millions off hiding people's body fat. And the world is heading that way too since its gone global. Sad. =(

But I gotta give her all the credit in the world though. Instead of gaining her fortune by banging a rich man like alot of women do, she made her cash all through hardwork, determination and innovation. An inspiration to everyone who thinks making it to the top is too difficult

It's the LOVE of money that is the root of all....(and we have seen this in unfold on wall street and other schemes). Money is NEUTRAL neither good nor bad. It will serve and do whatever the person desires.....make money work for you (to do and to be good).

Who said It's the LOVE of money that is the root of all...?

Isn't Spanx some kind of high tech corset to hide fat, cellulite and sloppiness? Yeah, that's right....
