Pumping [Cast] Iron With Le Creuset

fab:

When our editors found out that Fab would be debuting Le Creuset’s iconic enameled cookware in Saturday’s Bon Appétit shop, it thoroughly derailed an otherwise productive meeting. Waxing rhapsodic over sauciers and mini cocottes, the excitement was almost tangible. Then one very petite lady spoke up: “They’re pretty heavy, though. I have trouble lifting them…don’t you?” Obviously, we couldn’t have one of our own unable to share the joy of cooking with this beloved brand, so we designed an exclusive strength-training workout using some of Le Creuset’s most popular pieces. Presenting: the heavy metal routine!

I need this printed on one million business cards so I can hand it out to everyone who doesn’t know how to use these words correctly. I would run out of cards in about a week.

Can I get that with “It’s = It fucking is” and “Its = The fucking possession of it” added?

Lara Stone does Krav Maga for V Magazine

Lara Stone for V Magazine

New York Magazine has an exclusive first look at Lara Stone’s Krav Maga-themed editorial in V Magazine’s sports issue. She looks great, obviously, and it can’t be easy kneeing and throwing elbows in a short skirt and high heels. But Lara, please… protect your face when you strike!

Hydration nation

Not sure how much water to drink? The Huffington Post engaged in some yellow journalism to show that it’s not so much about the 8 8-oz. glasses and more about what your output looks like.

Check out page two of this chart, courtesy of the Boy Scouts of America.

If I’m not active (e.g., sitting at my desk at work), it’s hard to drink enough water. Hoping this bottle will remind me to kick dehydration in the groin!

In a follow-up to my previous image about women without curves and men without muscles, I realized I am sick to death of people making a snap judgment about Angelina Jolie’s health based entirely on her looks. Are you her or her doctor? No? Then don’t write her a prescription for cheeseburgers.

Ron Swineson

Based on the mustachio’d pig from Angry Birds, I have a theory that Ron Swanson (Swineson?) is related to those little green thieves. This supports my hypothesis.

Female Friends Spend Raucous Night Validating The Living Shit Out Of Each Other (via The Onion)

fitvillains:

This is so awesome, it HURTS.

Imagine a world where women consistently supported, loved, validated and encouraged each other to be their most awesome selves. Now breathe, and let it sink in that the only thing stopping this from happening…is US.

Funny, too-true and hysterical satire via ‘The Onion’.

Ladies, you’ll LOVE this one.

AKRON, OH—According to witnesses, a tight-knit group of five female friends spent a wild night on the town Saturday, overindulging in emotionally supportive behavior and generally validating the living shit out of each other.

Confirming the women get together at least once a month for an all-out, anything-goes session of nonjudgmental reassurances, 28-year-old Sarah Dotson said the evening quickly turned into ”a total rager,” with the friends sharing excessive amounts of admiration, empathy, and encouragement for one another.
