Something about this bandeau bikini makes P.C. think of Shag: The Movie. It’s sweet, but seductive—just like Phoebe Cates’s character Carson, who “can’t go around sleepin’ with every boy that likes [her].”

As Seen on TV gadgets basically scare the bejesus out of P.C.—the electric ab stimulator and the Banjo Minnow come to mind. But then someone told her about the Vidalia Chop Wizard… and she’s a convert. It slices and dices and cleans up in a snap, just like the ad says. (So who knows? Maybe sparking electrodes into your core really will give you a six pack.)
