I have recently found myself addicted to the mulit-billion dollar industry of infomercials. From the abdomenizer to the thigh master, I love a good infomercial and I know I’m not alone. How do I know I’m not alone? I don’t know how many friend’s I know actually had one of these items. I am not sure if it’s the fitness craz infiltrating the George Foreman monopoly of infomercials but the new wave of infomercials have gotten smart! Well smarter than me anyways. This new birth of infomercials have give us P90X, Insanity, The Brazilian Butt workout and my personal favorite that I actually own, is the Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis. This is a 90 day plan for women based on your body type will have a specific workout routine just for you! Sounds amazing right?! I know I was sold too. Just like many of you other infomercial junkies I found myself searching through my TV guide on my DVR to actually watch Tracy in the middle of the day! Yeah it’s true infomercials aren’t just on in the middle of the night anymore this is the “New style” and I can dream about having the most tone thighs in the middle of the day! So I bought it! Yep I did and I’m still waiting for my transformation to occur. Tracy said that if I did everything she told me to do I could have the perfect body! I am still waiting…
Here is the great thing about Infomercials now, they aren’t just for workout equipment or routines but now skin care. That’s right my other new obsession is the home care skin care line promoted by my old pal Cindy Crawford. Yesyou read that right, miss super model herself is pushing her latest and greatest find and sharing it with the rest of the world. Her secret is that she is friends with these scientists who apparently discovered a rare melon in a remote region in the south of France that stays fresh and firm longer than the rest of the melons in the world. So these super smart scientists (or SSSs) have found a way to extract the enzyme and make face cream for us normal aging melons! It is a miracle and it’s all mine. Well it can be yours to all you have to do is go to the website and sign up and PAY!! So while the rest of the world is aging I will be smearing a rare melon on my face and doing everything Tracy Anderson tells me to do. Funny thing is that both of these ladies have straight hair! I am not trying to be like them but I do enjoy is the idea of the infomercial. That 30 mins of bliss that if you use their product then something great will happen. I love the journey of the infomercial. The excitement of the actors or those who have used the product and LOVED it. I want to feel that joy, that excitement, that euphoria!!
I love Infomercials…

I love infomercials too! James always catches me watching them and inevitably asks me “You want that, don’t you?”. My response is always the enthusiastic “Uh, yeah!”. Why else would I be spending pockets of my life in half hour increments watching these things…repeatedly. I tend to like the cleaning products because I like to see the before/after demonstrating their product works. However I do have my eye on those Insanity videos “Are you dissatisfied with what you see in the mirror and not doing anything about it? Insanity!!!!”…
You’re funny 🙂 I love a good (or bad) infomercial, too.
