I have been going to the gym since I signed-up for a lifetime membership with Slimmers World in 1994. Back then (at least in my country) gyms were domains of the men and 2-lb weights were for aerobics only. My fitness instructor was male and so was my trsining …

I.N.C. Clothing (magazine ad)

Cover Girl Queen Collection Lipsticks (magazine ad)

You know, Fox News gets a lot of flak for being “biased and skewing the facts”. People act like this is some travesty. Yeah, because no media outlet has ever been biased or skewed data before. I mean, to quote ESPN, C’mon Man!
Yes, I know, Fox …
