I had to share this with you.......

I feel I would be remiss if I kept these "secrets" from all of you knowing that bikini season is a mere 3 months away from us......

                                               (I'm getting a dog)

Apparently, the very selfless and charitable folks over at People Magazine managed to pry "Tips from the Stars" on how to achieve a "Hot Body" just like the stars themselves.  Not a measly 4 or 5 tips.   Not 20.  Not even 84....But a whooping 100 tips!  Yes..I know...I'm in complete disbelief too! How in the world they managed to pry these top secrets away from their skinny cold hands will remain a mystery until the day I die.

(Note to self:  Buy less clothing and more flowy summer dresses........)

Here I was all ready to to hunker down and exercise my butt off, cut calories and throw out all my Haagen Daaz  when all I really need to do is buy a bikini so "it's not constricting the bad areas."  Why didn't I think of that?! Will there never be an end to the brilliance that flows from Hollywood?  I think not.

(Lining up my shot glasses....and start to rely on some "quiet confidence")

You know, for all these years I just assumed that the stars  worked really hard at maintaining their physique since it was kinda in their job description to do so.  With that I figured there were personal trainers....specialty low cal food....and all sorts of amenities that just aren't options for us common folk.......

 

(Items on tomorrow's shopping list:  Hot dogs, Life cereal and pink lady apples....)

But come to find out it's just a matter of eating the occasional hot dog....

(Note to self:  Move to Bermuda immediately and pack lots of high waisted really tight skirts....)

and having your belt positioned appropriately...... Who knew it was this easy!

After following the 100 tips, I plan to look like this in June)

So, everyone, grab your bikini, towel and bowl of cereal and meet me back here on Friday because I've been working on a bunch of crafty stuff!!!  I'm off to eat a hot dog.........

Dear oh dear...! The only real secret to celebrity weight-loss is Photoshop! That pic of Mariah Carey is faker than astroturf - where are her boobs? We all know she has them!

Actually I don't think that's Beyonce's body either...

WOW, who knew? And here I was, ready to begin another diet Monday. Instead, I'll just eat another hot dog and arm myself with "quiet confidence."
Thanks for sharing! :)

Oh yeah man. I gotta get me that magazine (to add to my other fitness mags, lol!)

WOW! I would never have realized how funny you are from our brief meeting at the barn! Great entertainment....I think that I need to add you so that I can check back often for a laugh! Great post!

[Sandra]

Thanks for getting my day off to a hilarious start! I'll never feel bad about eating that hot dog again!!!

[Karla]

Bring on the hot dogs! Our high waisted skirts will cover it all and if they don't we can always fall back on our quiet confidence (what?!).
Karla

I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP LAUGHING LONG ENOUGH TO WRITE THIS. YOU ARE HILARIOUS. I'M OFF TO GET ME A HOT DOG AND A BEER.

[Robin~Thrifty Miss Priss]

Oh geeze! The media really irritates me with this garbage. I'll eat a bowl of cereal for dinner any night, rather than cook, but don't think the family would go for it!

[Alison Gibbs]

Oh Karin, I just love your blog. I always have a smile on my face when I go to comment.
You are what Blogland is all about.

[Holly Abston]

You are so funny! It kills me what "Hollywood" thinks of as attractive, and what some folks will do to get it. The botoxed deer in the headlight look, frozen faces with cheek implants, waxen complexions, teeth whiter than white, etc - it's all so unnatural. Why don't we embrace our natural bodies???

Who would have ever imagined there would be so little work involved in maintaing those perfectly sculpted physiques? Crap, if I would have known how easy it was, I would have had one a long time ago.

[Becky]

Gosh I just bought hot dogs today, cause we never have them and one sounded good. Who new, I may have to eat all 8 of them. NOt

[Vickie]

This kind of diet I can do! Guess I wasted money on the chicken.

[Periwinkle Vintage]

What a great post!!! That pic of Kate Walsh? My husband would say she has the body of a 5th grader (he's a teacher)...and that's not a GOOD thing. And Mariah? Just give her time...
Cheryl

[Beverly]

Well, who knew?!!! Maybe I've been eating the wrong kind of hotdogs.

[Sally Fasano]
