In the arena of weird things I notice for no good reason, it seems like every season on The Biggest Loser all the women wear black nail polish. At first I thought it was a Black Team thing, but it really does seem like the women on either teams are often wearing black nail polish.

So the other night I was watching TV with my mom and I noticed an ad for some random miracle weight loss something-or-other. And, wouldn’t you know it, the woman was wearing black nail polish. So I randomly wondered aloud why the hell it was that all these weight loss related TV things had women wearing black nail polish.

My mom looked at me strangely for a moment (a look I know all too well). And then said, “Because they want their fingers to look skinny?”

I don’t know. It made me laugh.

Happy Friday, kidlets.
