Designer Kimberly Brewer didn’t like how her favorite low-rise jeans exposed her “Gluteal cleft” when she sat or bent over. So she invented a solution: the “Backtacular Gluteal Cleft Shield”. It’s an adhesive strip of denim, decorated with studs, rhinestones, hearts and other designs. It sticks directly to the skin so your butt crack is covered when your jeans are too low.
- Before you order one, make sure it won’t cover-up your Tramp Stamp!
- I think I remember hearing about a device like this before… Oh, yeah. It was called JEANS.
- If you want one of these don’t bother calling your local plumber. I guarantee he’s never heard of ‘em.

The reality show network truTV announced that it is developing a new show based on a British program to be called “The Naked Office”. The premise? A consultant goes into a real office and helps the workers overcome destructive interpersonal issues and build teamwork by gradually shedding their clothing. By the end, they’re supposed to have built up enough trust to work together completely naked for one full day.
- Don’t we already have a show almost identical to this? It’s called “Dancing With The Stars”.
- What are the chances? I retired last month and NOW they come up with this premise.
