Now buy this
I noticed that the cable TV shopping channels were a great barometer of the past holiday season. Show hosts cooed over the 12 pounds of black sequins on the Plus Size party jackets and then called the crew over to hold pound cake squares under chocolate fountains. But the party atmosphere disappeared in a hurry as soon as the first hour chimed in the New Year. The hosts wiped the frosting and cheese dip off their lips. Weight and ab equipment (and accompanying buff models) were positioned on the set in record time. Giddy remarks about the ball dropping in Times Square gave way to twenty minutes of discussion on exactly how many centimeters your new fitness ball needs to be. And forget dipping chips into gooey cheese dips in shiny new appliances. Now they want us to purchase those resistance bands and dip our cream-puff tushy into a deep squat. But rest easy. Next push—cocoa-butter-laden truffles in a heart-shaped box and the crew invited back onto the set to run pound cake squares under the chocolate fountain. Valentine's Day cometh.
