We’re all guilty of it. Picking up one too many frappuccinos from Starbucks, ordering soda with your dinner instead of water, or of course, consuming tons of beer and liquor on a night out.

New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has decided to intervene. It seems as though our apparent calorie gain in beverages is getting a bit out of control. The above ad campaign features a soda being poured into a glass while human fat comes spilling out. Personally, I find it a bit too graphic and just, well, gross. But I guess that’s the point, right?

She’s up pretty early for a morning off. Can’t say I’m a fan of 7am Starbucks runs, but I’m glad to know Gemma Ward likes good music.

With his strong desire to collaborate with companies and designers, Christian’s ready for his next big project. Creations for Starbucks! What exactly Mr. Siriano is designing is still unknown, but we’ll be sure to be standing by to find out!

Would the environmentally conscious caffeine addicts please stand up? Though you can’t tell unless it’s on the cup, this recycled black walnut veneer bracelet serves as a coffee cup holder. Not only are you making a fashion statement, you’ve got a constant reminder to snag a little pick-me-up. Oh, and kudos to you on ending global warming…you can tell the barista at Starbucks to add extra cream and hold the cup sleeve! 

Thanks Like Cool!

Patricia Field, designer for “Sex and the City”, created a line for the Home Shopping Network that is pathetic on so many levels. Allow me to enlighten you:

1) These clothes are god awful. Red metallic pants? A tea dress made from your grandma’s old moo-moo? A shirt that has more shoes than you do? A shimmery rose top missing a sleeve? A little black dress decorated (or should I say dilapidated) by a hideous silver and gold tropical flower? Come on Patricia Field, you design for TV’s sex goddesses…none of your customers will get laid wearing these ugly things.

2) If you buy any item from the Patricia Field collection, you will get a free subscription to Vogue Magazine. Is Vogue really that desperate for readers that they will go as far as giving away free subscriptions to women who probably have never heard of the magazine? I’d buy the horrid metallic leggings just for the free subscription!

3) This one has got to be my ultimate favorite. Yes, you can pay for the Patricia Field collection through installments! Are you really dying to buy the ugly $29.90 turquoise pleated scarf? Only work 2 hours each week cleaning bathrooms at rest-stops? Not to worry! Three payments of $9.97 and the unsightly scarf is all yours! Yes, and you still get the Vogue subscription! But don’t get too excited…the shipping and handling fee of $6.21 is all due with the first payment. Looks like you’re going to have to skip out on the Starbucks for a few days!
