According to a recent poll, the average woman spends close to $800 after a breakup…no, not on Ben & Jerry’s and white wine, but on making over her appearance!

The survey found that many women deal with the painful end of a relationship by indulging in retail therapy, with shopping for a fresh wardrobe, splurging on a new hairstyle and signing up for a gym membership among the most common image-improving purchases.

Experts say that women often feel self conscious about their looks after a breakup, and a makeover can be a great way to lift their spirits- and their confidence.

Here’s the breakdown from the Daily Mail

–$144 on a new hairdo.
 
–$62 on tanning.
 
–$192 on new clothes.
 
–$96 on new shoes.
 
–$76 on new make-up.
 
–$81 on manicures and pedicures.
 
–And $128 on a gym membership, boot camp, and other attempts to get into shape.
  
–On top of that, the average woman also spends $109 a week going out once they’re single.  And 11% immediately buy an online dating membership.

After repeated denials, Rep. Anthony Weiner finally came clean yesterday about sending dirty pictures of himself online.

The married New York Democrat confessed in a news conference that he did indeed tweet a photo of his underwear-clad crotch to a young woman in Seattle, and he also admitted to other inappropriate online exchanges with about six women over the past three years.

“This was me doing a dumb thing and doing it repeatedly and lying about it,” the 46-year-old said. He said many of the exchanges happened before his marriage, but other happened more recently. Weiner insisted, though, that the relationships never went beyond online interactions.  He also said he would not resign from his position, and would not be separating from his wife.

The scandal began more than a week ago when the crotch photo was made public, and escalated yesterday when the website, BigGovernment.com, posted photos reportedly from a second woman who said she received shirtless shots of the congressman.

After Weiner’s confession, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi immediately called for an ethics committee investigation into whether he broke House rules.

This begs the question, is texting considered cheating?

And according to Today’s TMJ 4, one of the woman he was contacting was from Milwaukee. According to her Facebook page, Lisa Weiss, lives in Las Vegas, went to UWM and Nicolet High School.

A new story is reporting they need to hire more strippers to keep up with the demand.

YIKES! Check out the story here.

Sure I’ve thought about how life would be different if I had the money and fame of celebrities…but I wouldn’t want this.

For me, this interview seemed much more genuine than he scripted apology that I don’t think he even wrote. For his family and for himself, I hope he truly is sorry.
