5 PACKING TIPS FROM KENT & VYXSIN, AMAZING RACE ALL-STAR GOTH TEAM! MY NEW HUFF POST VIDEO SERIES: TRAVEL SOS.
Ahh, ahh, ahh! Here it is — my new video series for Huffington Post, Travel SOS!

Kent and Vyxsin know all about packing light. On two seasons of the hit show, they raced around the world with their belongings in a single backpack — black eyeliner and glitter polish included.
In our video, they share five tips for minimizing luggage.
1) Be a space cadet.
Fill empty spaces, such as inside hats and shoes. Vyxsin protects a camera by stuffing it in a sneaker.
2) Multi-task.
The Goths demonstrate how a scarf and handkerchief can be used in many ways: a sarong, a headband, a washcloth.
3) Travel size it.
Vyxsin recommends buying toiletries in mini-size and refilling them. Instead of a bulky flat iron, she brings a tiny version.
4) Avoid panic packing.
Start early. Make lists so you won’t forget your passport and mobile charger.
5) Leave non-essentials at home.
Before you put something in your suitcase, consider whether you really need it. Keep out items you can easily get on the road.
Coming up: more episodes, filmed in different cities with celebrity guests. Keep your eyes peeled to the Huffington Post Travel Video page, and your favorite blog ever (this one, right??) for updates.
Thanks to Kent and Vxysin, the Orlando Hotel in West Hollywood, Alice and the Cat for the intro graphic, and Lov/Recs for the music (“Human” by Trans-X).

CUTE SCOTTISH FOLD CAT BASIL FARROW VS. CATNIP BALL! TRIA LASER, HOME HAIR REMOVAL REVIEW: DOES IT WORK?
Did you miss my teddy bear cat, Basil Farrow? Here’s tons of cute photos, and a new video where he chases a catnip ball!
Whenever I get a parcel, my Scottish Fold waddles over to inspect the goods. This time, we got to test-drive the TRIA Hair Removal Laser.
Slide the laser head across your skin — beep, beep — every two weeks. Hair will gradually reduce, and in about 6 months, be near gone.
The laser isn’t as powerful as those found in salons. But it’s much cheaper, and you can beep-beep yourself while watching TV. So the question is: does it work?
There’s a security lock and 5 settings; I used the highest one. Pain was negligible, except for the underarms. In the words of Sebastiano: “Aiyyyy! Why it hurt so much? Is beyond human pain!” (I minimized this problem by shaving closely and using ice.)
My honest finding: the Tria does work. After three treatments, there was significant reduction in the pits. Medium reduction on the limbs. I’m happy, and will keep zapping.
I recommend the device if you’re ok with the minor discomfort, and use it regularly on the highest setting. The charge only lasts 30 minutes, so allow time for multiple sessions.
The privacy and convenience are a boon, and the price is affordable ($395) — especially if you share it. The Tria’s available via Amazon and you can learn more on their website.
Now, a new Scottish Fold video! Basil got a catnip ball for Christmas. Watch as he chases and licks the treat (don’t worry, the floor is perfectly clean). He lies down and reaches out with his short paws. Aww.
View the new video on YouTube and above. I’m on an editing frenzy; you can look forward to tons of videos this year.
What are your thoughts on permanent hair removal? Have you tried it? Were you satisfied with the results?
