12 Nerdy-Awesome Movie Mashup Posters

Music mashups are old hat these days (sorry Glee, and various deejays)--but movie mashups. There's an idea. You've heard films describes as something meets something a million times over, but this takes it to the next level. Behold the posters:

This just makes me think Zoe Saldana and Robert Downey Jr. should do a movie together. Handsome pair.


But of course!


There's


Maybe my favorite.

No, scratch that, this is everything. PLEASE LOOK AT MR. POTATO HEAD.

Sad, mini-Jason Segel makes it.

Whoa! Hey. My brain isn't ready for this.
 
 This one wins best tagline: "He's hip, he's slick and he's only 50 years old." 


Jamie and LiLo should do this next Halloween.

Daniel is cautious, but Meg is into it.

Carrie makes a great Alice.

Hey, this one could actually get used.

Fashion-y Halloween Costume Ideas

You know you're gonna need a Halloween costume, and you know you wanna look drop-dead fabulous, right? Let's get the party started early with 11 (easy!) ideas :)
 

ANNA DELLO RUSSO: Duh, do you think it's a coincidence her H&M collection--with oversize jewels and cheeky sunnies inspired by the queen of street style herself--arrived in stores in October!? It was practically made for fashion lackeys who want to dress up as their idol!

BETTIE PAGE: If we learned one important lesson from Mean Girls, it's that Halloween is the ideal excuse to bare it all. If that's your bag, get yourself a pair of black sheer thigh-highs, some elbow-length gloves, clip-on bangs, and a vintage slip and call yourself the perfect pinup girl.

PSY: Show of your Gangham Style in a bright sport coat, a bow tie, sunglasses, and a pair of saddle shoes. The most essential element of this costume is, of course, your moves!

IRIS APFEL: She's the grand dame of society fashion, and this is probably the one day of the year you won't look crazy copying her style. Go for enormous oversize frames (punch the lenses out of some gas station sunnies!), a simple white wig, and more jewelry than you ever imagined humanly possible. A brocade coat from your grandma's closet will probably help your cause, too.

JACKIE KENNEDY: Early and late Jackie are equally chic, but we've always had a thing for her pillbox hat era. Scour your local Salvation Army or thrift store for a double-breasted suit, then accessorize with hugely oversize sunnies, short white gloves, a strand of pearls, and of course, a hat.

TERRY RICHARDSON: Consider your lazy boyfriend dressed for Halloween--a red plaid flannel, a camera around his neck, and omnipresent thumbs up are all he needs to be the in-demand fashion lensman.

CHER HOROWITZ: You knew you were holding onto your minibackpack and argyle skirt for a reason, right? This is it, ladies! Put on some knee socks and practice saying "As if!" in your best Beverly Hills drawl all night.

HONEY BOO BOO CHILD: Start on eBay, where the perfect 80s prom dress--hot pink taffeta, covered in crystals--can easily be your pageant look. Then fire up the curling iron, grab yourself a bottle of Mountain Dew, and let the Go-Go Juice take over.

LUCILLE BALL: If you'd rather wear something that's feminine and pretty flattering, you can't do better than the original comedienne. Your local thrift store will have a fit-and-flare dress in a polka dot or check pattern; all you need to add is a red wig and a bandana around the top, bright lipstick, and a surprised smile.

MAGIC MIKE: If your guy has abs, this is the perfect time to flaunt 'em. 

Do you know what you're going as yet? Can't wait to hear about your costume, so SHARE!

Happy World EGG Day!

If you like eggs--and even if you don't--these recipes are a must-see (after all, today is World Egg Day!).

1012-eggs_vg.jpg

Eggs are excellent go-to sources of high-quality protein, as you know--that's one of the aims of World Egg Day, by the way: to celebrate eggs for their potential to feed people around the globe. They're also filled with good stuff like riboflavin, folate, vitamins B6, B12, lutein--ingredients that are great for helping you build muscle and keep your vision sharp. Plus, eating them for breakfast may even aid in weight loss: studies have found that eating eggs for breakfast can keep you feeling fuller, longer, than carbs.

Of course, eating eggs when they're drowned in butter, cream, cheese, or--yep!--bacon kind of nixes all of those benefits (super-cheesy quiche need not apply. Bummer!).
Anyway, I was excited to find these egg recipes--tasty and healthified! Tell me what you think:
Traditional Eggs Benedict is yummy, for sure, but also super-rich. An Eggs Benedict salad, on the other hand...

These scrambled eggs are filled with garlic, spinach, and broccoli--love the Cojita cheese on top, too!
These crustless quiches in cups are too cute! They're also partially made with egg whites, plus part-skim mozzarella, and broccoli.
This tortilla is baked, then filled with beans, avocado, and peppers--and eggs, of course.

I'm so intrigued by these egg white puffs! They have protein powder, a little sweetener, and cinnamon (I've also seen some versions that have peanut butter, and others with cheese).
Ooh, and these mini frittatas--made in a muffin tin--have more egg whites than they do whole eggs, plus zucchini, spinach, onion, feta, and parmesan.

You guys, just a warning: there is an awful lot of cuteness in this post

And the best part is, if your boss catches you "ooh"ing and "aww"ing this morning, you can say you're just working on your job performance!

1001-cute-animals_vg.jpg
New research from Hiroshima University has found that, after looking at pictures of puppies or kittens, people performed tasks more quickly or more accurately.
In the small study, 48 subjects played Operation--a.k.a. the buzzy, alarming board game that still haunts the nightmares of some of us--and were then shown photos of gourmet food, people, and baby and adult animals. Then they played the game again. Those who had viewed the pics of squee-worthy baby animals played 44 percent better than they had earlier (the adult animal pics seemed to have an impact, too, at 5 percent). 

(The cuteness is coming right up, promise.)

The teensy animal pics also seemed to affect accuracy, too: in another experiment, another 48 participants had to do visual search tasks, finding words and numbers in images, and images made up of numbers and words. Their accuracy increased by a modest 2 percent. According to the researchers, cute things "not only make us happier, but also affect our behavior. This study shows that viewing cute things improves subsequent performance in tasks that require behavioral carefulness, possibly by narrowing the breadth of attentional focus."
So! With all that said, here are some cute baby animals to--maybe, possibly!--help get you focused on work this Tuesday morning:
