I came across this hysterical item on Paula Begoun's (http://www.cosmeticscop.com) site.

Anti-Cellulite Undergarments
From the what-will-they-think-of-next department comes the announcement in Paris of anti-cellulite undergarments. The "cosmeto-textile" undergarments, produced by France-based Onixxa and U.S.-based Invista, are said to contain microscopic anti-cellulite ingredients that break open and release their contents as the fabric rubs against your skin. What is in these garments? Plant extracts (including aloe) and lots of fragrance. It almost goes without saying that regardless of the delivery system or how long you wear the garment, these ingredients won't affect cellulite in any way. Even Fiona Paul, an Invista spokesperson, agrees, stating "This is all about well-being and emotions rather than providing a therapeutic benefit" (Source: http://www.reuters.com, February 6, 2007). Despite this, look for such products to hit the mainstream here, from such household brand names as Adidas, Nike, and L’Oreal. I wonder if the garments will be sold with a tip sheet recommending a healthy diet and exercise for best results?

I say BIG YUCK!

There's also Sant' Angelica LipoShape. You can check them out at http://www.legluxe.com. Personally, I think a good pair of bike shorts will do the trick!

Another new product that made me laugh ... those $300 pink sneakers that Bliss says gets rid of cellulite because of their rocking motion. For 1/3 of the price, you can get a pair of Earth shoes that'll make your posture a he** of a lot better and ... you won't end up falling!

Love earth shoes… I think this is just all a part of a trend to get us to buy more crap that we don't need.
