Woman Who Invented Spanx is a Billionaire.

Fox News - When Sara Blakely was a 27-year-old salesgirl with the bright idea to create shaping, smoothing undergarments, she had no idea that her creation would take her on a journey to become the youngest woman to debut on the Forbes Magazine Billionaires List, which was released Wednesday. According to Forbes, Spanx is valued by several Wall Street Banks at an average $1 billion. That figure squeezes 41-year-old Blakely - who owns 100 percent of the private company -- into an elite circle of super-rich, mostly male, movers and shakers. She ranks 1,153 of 1,226 on the Forbes list.

First off, congrats to Sara Blakely, a billion dollars off selling hosiery is no joke.

But secondly, this story just confirms for me what I've always believed: If you're selling something targeting women and you tell them it'll help them lie about what they really look like, you've got a million dollar product...Or in the case of this spanx lady, a billion dollar product. You've just gotta help them lie.

It really is that simple, tell a group of woman you have something that'll further help them conceal their true looks from the world and you'll have an absolute feeding frenzy. Makeup, push-up bras, breast implants, spanks, hair extensions, fake eye lashes! I mean fake eye lashes, people. As if any guy has ever given a half a shit about what some girls eye lashes look like. If you're a girl and you've found a guy that you can't quite get to take the bait, eye lashes are not going to help, and if they do, well you probably found a guy with a case of the ghey. 

And ladies, this is in no way a plea for you to change, please, please, keep your vanity driven consumeristic habits, at least long enough for me to come up with a product to get rich off of.

Tom Brady Has to be the Only Quarterback in History to Marry Up with Gisele, Right?

(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Gisele Bundchen is set to become the world's first billionaire supermodel. Forbes says the 31-year-old Brazilian beauty has earned roughly $250 million over the last decade. Mrs. Tom Brady has a new lingerie company that is a joint venture with Brazil's version of Victoria's Secret - called Hope - as well as new endorsement deals for Versace and Dior. Forbes says it is possible Gisele ends her career with a 10-figure bank account.

 Do you think this is why Tom Brady is so driven even after all his success? He has to be the only quarterback ever who was actually able to score up, right? Never mind a three time Super Bowl winner, and two time MVP.

She's undoubtedly more world famous than he is and she makes straight up Scrooge McDuck Cash (TB's not broke but compared to Giselle he looks like one of the guys at my local Tedeschi's just sitting around playing the 12-spot game on Keno all day).

Do you realize how hard it is for an NFL QB to score up? These guys can pretty much settle for any pretty young face they want, (unless your name is Brett Favre and you fail miserably at sexting buxom sideline reporters) and yet Brady somehow came away with one of the 3 or 4 women in the world where he'd be the lesser half in the couple. It's gotta make him feel at least in some way inadequate and drive him to be better, like if you don't think Giselle is on his ass about winning a 4th title this week, you're crazy. Tom probably wakes up in cold sweats from nightmares where Joe Montana and Gisele cuckold him after he fails once again to get his 4th ring.

It's crazy to think, but it 100% explains the oddball behavior he engages in from time to time, the Euro-hair, the Uggs endorsement, this picture, and definitely this picture too. Guy is doing whatever he can to hang on, so the best thing for Pats nation this week is to pray to God that Gisele is nagging his ass about winning this game. None of this supportive wife, "do your best" bullshit. Just tearing into him, telling him what a pathetic loser he'll be if he loses, because if that's indeed what she's doing, watch out G-Men.
