A marketing campaign disguised as a Public Service Announcement. A series of ads by Dove/Unilever featuring several thick-waisted, moderately attractive women that are supposed to change the face of beauty, er, sell lots of soap. Mainly appeal to insecure, middle class female bloggers who can't deal with the fact that there are women out there who are thinner and prettier than themselves or their overindulged daughters. The revelation that many of these ads had been heavily airbrushed has pretty much brought this nonsense to an end.
Laura: I bought the Dove firming cream because the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty is trying to make women love their bodies as they are.
Caitlin: If our bodies are beautiful as they are, why do we need firming cream?

Camp Half-Blood is from the best selling series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians", and sequel series "The Heroes Of Olympus", by Rick Riordan. Camp Half-Blood is the home of the Half-Blood children of the ancient Greek gods and goddesses, and several creatures from Greek Mythology (Including satyrs, nypmhs, harpies, and a friendly Hellhound.) The camp is currently run by the camp director, Mr. D (Also known as Dionysus) And the Activities Director, Chiron, the centaur. Camp Half-Blood includes a pegasus stable, strawberry field, cabins, lava rock wall, forest, canoeing lake, archery range, arts&crafts, armory, forge, and camp store. Each cabin has a councelor: Perseus (Percy) Jackson, of Poseidon, Annabeth Chase, of Athena, Katie Gardner, of Demeted, Silena Beauregard(Deceased), Drew, and Piper Mclean(As of The Lost Hero), of Aphrodite, Luke Castellan (Deceased) Connor and Travis Stole, of Hermes, Charles Beckendorf (Deceased), Jake Mason, and Leo Valdez(As of The Lost Hero) Of Hephaestus, presumably Thalia Grace (Liutenant of the Huntresses of Artemis), of Artemis, Michael Yew (Deceased), Lee Fletcher (Deceased), and Will Solace, of Apollo, Clarrise La Rue, of Ares, Pollux (Deceased) and Castor, of Dionysus, and Nico Di Angelo of Hades. The camp is mostly summer only, but has several campers who need to stay year round for protection from monsters in the outside world.
"Camp Half-Blood, Keeping Young Heroes Safe from Harm (Mostly) For Over Three Millennia"
"The landscape was dotted with buildings that looked like ancient Greek architecture--an open-air pavilion, an amphitheater, a circular arena--except they all looked brand new, their white marble columns sparkling in the sun. In a nearby sandpit, a dozen high school-age kids and satyrs plated volleyball. Canoes glided across a small lake. Kids in bright orange T-shirts like Grover's were chasing each other around a cluster of cabins nestled in the woods. Some shot targets at an archery range. Others rode horses down a wooded trail, and, unless I was hallucinating, some of their horses had wings."-An excerpt from Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book One: The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan, pages 61-62.

Get the Camp Half-Blood mug.The title given to any number of hellish weeks spent at a university over summer practicing debate. At camp, students learn the fundamentals of debate as well as strategy, theory, and how to run strange post-modern arguments that only fellow debaters and experienced judges will understand. Students will also learn the art of staying awake for 4 days at a time, that espresso is its own food group, and how to acquire drugs in a foreign city. Days of camp are typically 7am-3am and some weeks there will be as many hours of sleep as there are arms on a Ugandan refugee. Students are likely to return home with a permanent carpet texture to their face (acquired by sleeping in the isles of law libraries), excessive kritiks and Kantian quotes, an appreciation for adderall and a deep relationship with their laptop.

Get the Summer Camp Syndrome mug.Located in the middle of Northwood, New Hampshire, on Lucas Pond, Yavneh is often referred to as the most amazing of all overnight camps. To non-Yavneh goers, Yavneh may be known as "that really religious Jewish camp in the middle of New Hampshire," but to campers, it is Yavneh, their home away from home. The place where Orthodox to Reformed families can all send their children. The place where campers beg to come back, some for two months, year after year.
Some say they sing in the dark until their eyes close and their throat's hurt and their voices can bear no more sound. The can dance for hours, rikud after rikud. And they swim, and play sports and do all the other things normal camps do. But Yavneh is different, Yavneh is extraordinary.
Yavneh is not only a place but a time that campers wish they would never have to leave. And when they eventually do have to pack their bags and say goodbye, their hugs are wet with the tears that stream down their face. During the year campers count days until camp will begin again. And the cycle continues, on and on, dor le dor.
