Welcome to another installment of the riveting series “Kendall Jenner and the Tiny Top Chronicles.” The story follows a young woman with a clear affinity for wearing the world’s tiniest tops.

Jenner was spotted out in a strappy sideless shirt in Miami Beach Sunday, just days after appearing in an even tinier amount of clothing during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show taping last week. She’s worn equally minuscule tops before, but this one takes the cake for most complicated.

The 21-year-old sipped a glass of wine while smiling and laughing, presumably about the fact that she’s once again pulled off a daring look held together by strings. 

Sigh.

Kylie Jenner has crowned herself the sexiest Kardashian. 

The 19-year-old reality star and lip kit mogul just released the first few shots of her new 2017 calendar, shot by the highly controversial Terry Richardson. The photographer, whom she’s worked with in the past, has been accused of sexual harassment and assault several times. 

In the calendar cover photo, a smirking Jenner wears a black tiara and lacy black negligee with wet, pinkish blond hair. 

In another shot, Jenner poses in a black top and bottoms that show major skin (and remind us that she’s a Kardashian, after all). She accessorizes her look with a massive, slithering nightmare of a reptile that dishes out “I’m a Slave 4 U” vibes. 

The photos only get more risqué from there, especially the “Please Insert Money” look that Kylie revealed on her Snapchat. 

Jenner called the look “so fucking bomb” on her Snapchat account, giving a shout out to Richardson. 

The calendar is set to go on sale Dec. 10.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, it made sense that Miss Piggy was related to Yoda. In fact, it was likely that she was his mama.

George Lucas once said that Yoda was the illegitimate child of Piggy and Kermit, Frank Oz used to voice both Piggy and Yoda, and there are even photos of the three characters together on the “Star Wars” set: 

But what does Piggy have to say? 

The Huffington Post caught up with her at the Kate Spade offices to find out. There, she finally addressed the “Star Wars” connection, saying, “Comment on rumors, I will not!”

She then burst out laughing, adding, “No that is stupid. That is stilly. What are you saying?”

She did admit Yoda was kind of handsome, though. (Who could blame her? Dude’s hot.)

However, she says she’s clearly not his mom, and it just comes down to looks. 

“Look at those ears. They’re not my ears. Kermit doesn’t even have ears. So I have no idea. I have no idea who his parents are,” said Piggy.

In addition to Yoda, Piggy opened up about her new #MissAdventure video with Zosia Mamet for Kate Spade, discussed what it was like to save Tony Bennett from falling off a float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and totally ripped apart my style.

Thanks for the confidence boost, Miss Piggy.

For Allure, by Katie Becker.

Discomfort and beauty are always in tension, so we teach ourselves the algorithm of: Is it worth it? We learn the calculations between ouch and better skin (or flatter abs, or a firmer jawline, or...). But you can't do the math without knowing what kind of pain you're in for. We went to the people who know best—the patients—to find out exactly what it feels like to be on the receiving end of all those needles, blades, and lasers.

*Pain Meter runs on a scale of 1-5.

Botox: An injectable neurotoxin used to temporarily paralyze facial muscles and smooth wrinkles

The Patient Report: "I get it every four to six months to erase the etched lines on my forehead. Most doctors numb the area first with ice. I dislike that more than the needle—it's like a brain freeze. Each injection is quick; usually I don't feel a thing. But the area just underneath the eyebrows really hurts. Like a bee sting. The pain goes away immediately, though. Sometimes I get bruises that last a few days, but I can cover them with concealer. After a week or so, my brow feels a little heavy, like when your hand falls asleep. That's right around the time people start telling me I look really relaxed, as if I was just on vacation." —Andrea Modlin, 41

The Doctor's Note: "I put a little pressure on each injection site right afterward to help with the sting and get very anxious people to do Lamaze-style breathing. The muscles start to feel kind of stiff, once the Botox kicks in, about five days later. You get used to that after a week or so, and soon you almost forget how to frown. Research even shows that you'll actually feel happier." —Ava Shamban, a dermatologist in Beverly Hills

The Pain Meter: 1

Restylane and Juvéderm: Hyaluronic acid–based gels injected to restore contours and fullness to the face and lips

The Patient Report: "My upper lip is much smaller than my lower one. I've gotten it filled with Restylane or Juvéderm twice a year for about six years. My first treatment was at a spa, and it was a horror story—they completely overfilled my lips, and it really hurt. I had to go to a doctor for another injection to undo it. Now I always go to a dermatologist. I don't use numbing cream, just close my eyes and center myself. The needle feels sort of like a splinter, but the pain doesn't linger. I think a paper cut is worse. My lips are a little swollen for a few hours, but by the next day, kissing and eating feel completely normal." —Elaine*, 31**

The Doctor's Note: "The lips are one of the most sensitive areas on the body, so sometimes we start with an injectable anesthetic. Icing first is often enough, though. Plus, the most commonly used fillers, like Juvéderm and Restylane, have numbing lidocaine mixed in. The temporary swelling of the gel might feel a little creepy but should never be painful. The swelling dissipates after about a week. And if a patient doesn't like the results, there's an exit strategy: We can inject an enzyme called hyaluronidase that breaks down the hyaluronic acid completely over a couple of days." —Shamban

The Pain Meter: 2

Kybella: Deoxycholic acid, a fat-dissolving chemical injected to reduce a double chin

The Patient Report: "I'm skinny, but the fullness under my chin really bothered me. I went in for four Kybella sessions over six months. With the first two, they injected lidocaine before the acid, and I didn't feel anything after that. I thought the lidocaine increased my swelling afterward, though, so I skipped it for the last two. Without it, the acid felt like a deep, throbbing pain and burned for about 15 minutes. It wasn't unbearable, but it made my eyes water. There was swelling for a week—a couple days less when I didn't do the lidocaine—but not so much that people were staring at me. I just wore a scarf." —Jenny, 35

The Doctor's Note: "I start with a numbing cream, then draw a grid across the area of about 20 spots. I inject lidocaine in each one, followed by the Kybella. Once the lidocaine wears off, the area can be achy for a few hours and will sometimes bruise. One hundred-percent of patients have some swelling that can last up to two weeks." —Anne Chapas, a dermatologist in New York City

The Pain Meter: 3

Fraxel Dual Restore: A fractional CO2 laser that diminishes wrinkles, brown spots, scars, and pores

The Patient Report: "I got a bad sunburn on my chest that left huge, dark sun spots. When a dermatologist suggested Fraxel, I went for it. She used a numbing cream first, but the pain was still an eight on a scale of one to ten. The first zaps weren't incredibly painful, but the pain kept building as she covered the area. It became almost unbearable. The whole thing took roughly 15 minutes, and once the laser was turned off, my chest felt like it was on absolute fire for an hour. After that, there was no pain. My skin was red for two weeks and felt rough as it healed. A month later, though, my chest had completely changed: The dark spots had radically lightened or disappeared." —Sarah, 24

The Doctor's Note: "The laser makes tiny holes in the skin, so it does create a pinprick-y feeling. We always start with lidocaine cream. We also use a Zimmer fan, which blows supercold air, and I give people squeezy stress balls. Afterward, you may feel badly sunburned for a day. By day three, your skin has a sandpapery texture that lasts a week or two." —Ellen Marmur, a dermatologist in New York City

The Pain Meter: 4

Ultherapy: An ultrasound-based technology for tightening skin on the face and body

The Patient Report: "Over the last several years, I've done Ultherapy three times on my face and neck. The first time, I took Percocet beforehand for the pain, but it didn't help much. The doctor held the handpiece against my skin and delivered zaps from the middle of my neck to just above my jaw. With each one, there was an intense burning feeling that lasted two or three seconds. Pain-wise, it was an eight on a scale of one to ten. The next two times, I took Demerol; the pain was more like a three—I just felt a hot sensation every time there was a pulse. Afterward, my skin was slightly flushed, but I didn't need more painkillers. My jawline definitely looks tighter now." —Amanda, 42

The Doctor's Note: "I usually give Valium or Demerol, but some of my patients use no painkillers or sedatives at all. The machine delivers heat into the muscles that tighten up coils of collagen; it feels like a sparkler hitting your skin. We 'stamp' it across the face. Most of the time the pain is a four or five out of ten, but you get some zingers of nine. Treating the whole face takes a few hundred pulses—that can wear on you. Most patients see results in about a month." —Paul Jarrod Frank, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York City

CoolSculpting: A freezing procedure shown to reduce fat on the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms

The Patient Report: "I work out and eat well, but I had this ring of fat around my belly, like a life preserver, so I tried CoolSculpting. A vacuum-like contraption—around the size of an iPad mini—sucks in about two inches of your skin, which feels bizarre. The area starts to feel increasingly cold, but not painfully so...then you go numb. I didn't need an anesthetic or a painkiller. I did three areas—my love handles and the area below my belly button; each one took 45 minutes. The most uncomfortable part was sitting in the same position for three hours. Afterward, my skin was a little red and felt cold for a while, but I went to dinner that night and the gym the next day. About a month later, the life preserver was gone." —Allison, 28

The Doctor's Note: "The best candidates have fat that's 'squeezy'—not the hard, beer-belly type. If you make it through the first six minutes of the cold, you'll be fine. That's when you go numb. Afterward, we use a massaging device on the area. As the skin comes back to life, it feels sort of good—like your hands warming back up after a snowball fight. You might have some bruising and light soreness, but you can go straight back to work and working out. It takes two to six weeks to start seeing results, and some patients need more than one session." —Marmur

Cellfina: A device with a small blade to sever the fibers under the skin that create cellulite

The Patient Report: "You lie on your stomach, and the most painful part is the injection of the lidocaine. Once that kicks in, you can't feel anything. The blade's motorized, though, and the sound—like an electric knife—is jarring. I had 21 dimples treated across my butt and thighs; it took 45 minutes. The dimples were gone immediately. For 48 hours I had soreness, like after a workout, but it didn't hurt enough to even take Tylenol. The bruises lasted about ten days."—Mickey Williams, 42

The Doctor's Note: "The ideal candidate is under 50, so her skin has enough elasticity to spring back. The device—it looks like a petri dish—hovers over the area being treated and delivers a shot of lidocaine. Then a suction cup grabs the skin and inserts a tiny knife below the skin to cut the fiber that creates the dimple. The sound of the blade is a little disturbing; we offer noise-canceling headphones so you can listen to music. Most patients have tenderness and bruising afterward; improvements are visible in a few days." —Melanie Palm, a dermatologist in Solana Beach, California

MonaLisa Touch: A fractional CO2 laser used to treat signs of aging and atrophy on the vaginal walls

The Patient Report: "I wasn't experiencing the vaginal dryness that can come with menopause but did this preventively—three treatments, each two months apart. Your feet are in stirrups—like at a pelvic exam—and they insert a probe that's like a big metal tampon. You feel a slight vibration that's somewhat pleasant—imagine a very low-intensity vibrator. It was done in ten minutes. I haven't noticed major differences, but there's a bit more moisture, and I'll go in for the recommended yearly touch-up appointment." —Michele Cloud, 49

The Doctor's Note: "Decreased estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness and discomfort. This laser triggers cellular regeneration that leads to new blood vessels and more collagen and elastin. Some women feel a little pain around the vaginal opening during the treatment, so we might apply a numbing cream. But others say it feels good; a patient or two has even come close to orgasming. A few weeks after, a lot of women say things feel more 'juicy,' and for many, it's totally life-changing." —Maria Sophocles, a gynecologist in Princeton, New Jersey

The annual Kennedy Center Honors are always a delight for the soul, boasting epic musical performances and heartfelt speeches. Thanks to Barack and Michelle Obama, these evenings have been a treat for the eyes over the last eight years, too.

That’s largely because FLOTUS, who has been turning it all the way up these last few months in the White House, never ceases to amaze us with her keen sense of style and on-theme dressing.

Take this floor-length, off-the-shoulder Gucci stunner, for example. It’s even got a bow embellishment to symbolize the present she truly is (or, you know, the holiday season in general). 

The first lady previously showed off her holiday flair last week for an event at the White House, wearing a similar dress with long sleeves and a full skirt that was also beautifully embellished. Its length and lack of sparkle made it just a tad less fancy than this one, but there’s no denying they’re both show-stopping party dresses. 

President Obama, of course, looked exceptionally dapper in his tuxedo and bow tie, but this home run from FLOTUS is once again the main event.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The approaching holidays mean an onslaught of festive television commercials, ranging from the heartwarming and thought-provoking to the comedic and downright sappy.

Here are some of the biggest hits we’ve seen so far from around the world this year:

A Cleveland weatherman has gone full “Cast Away” thanks to his refusal to shave until the hapless Browns win a football game. 

Fox 8 Cleveland meteorologist Scott Sabol probably didn’t expect the Browns to be this bad when he made the regrettable promise earlier on in the season. Now he’s sporting one woolly beard.

Oh, yes. The Browns are 0–12.  

Let’s take a quick look at the evolution of the beard, shall we?

Sabol looks sharp and clean-shaven in his default image on Twitter. Very professional. Would make a great meteorologist.

Now, here’s the beard in early October. You can tell that Sabol is starting to think about the off-season. 

Late October. Perhaps Sabol should have made his wager on the Cleveland Cavaliers winning a game.

By the end of November, Sabol has become a lumberjack.

As you may have noted from the tweet above, Sabol has made clear that he will shave at the end of the season, should the Browns fail to win before then. That’s probably for the best.

Age and fatherhood haven’t mellowed Tom Ford.

The famously outspoken designer and movie director, 55, got real candid about sex, death and parenting in the December issue of GQ magazine. In one of the interview’s more jaw-dropping moments, Ford explained why he feels all men should be penetrated ― and yes, he meant in the physical sense. 

“I think it would help them understand women,” he told GQ’s Taffy Brodesser-Akner. “It’s such a vulnerable position to be in, and it’s such a passive position to be in. And there’s such an invasion, in a way, that even if it’s consensual, it’s just very personal.” 

Ford then noted, “I think there’s a psyche that happens because of it that makes you understand and appreciate what women go through their whole life, because it’s not just sexual, it’s a complete setup of the way the world works, that one sex has the ability to literally—and is expected to and is wanted to—but also there’s an invasion. And I think that that’s something most men do not understand at all.”

As it turns out, the “Nocturnal Animals” director was doubling down on remarks he’d made in a 2004 interview with GQ, when he proclaimed, “Every man should be f*cked at some point in his life,” and, some say, appeared to proposition writer Michael Hainey, who is straight.

Good things come in small packages, and difficult-to-wrap things come in big packages. If you’re planning to give a rather large gift this holiday season, follow these simple steps to wrapping it like an expert ― free from the patchy cut-and-tape job seen all too often.

1. Unroll the wrapping paper onto a smooth surface and lower the top half of the box onto the paper.

2. Cut the paper to wrap around the top half of the box and secure with double-sided tape.

3. On the top part of the box with the open end, fold the flaps inward and crease; secure with double-sided tape.

 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other side of the box.

5. Use baker’s twine to measure the width of the box, then cut another sheet of wrapping paper that’s the length of that twine.

6. Wrap the extra sheet of paper around the middle of the box, folding the hard edges over and securing with double-sided tape.

7. Using your twine, cut a length of wide ribbon. Wrap it around the box to hide where the hard edge of the paper is visible.

8. Repeat step 7 on the other side of the box, using longer ribbon that you can then tie into a bow.

 Voilà. Nicely wrapped box with no visible lines or sloppy patches.

Prince William is giving workplace mental health the royal treatment.

The prince urged companies to recognize the importance of emotional well-being in a speech with business leaders yesterday. His efforts were part of his Heads Together initiative, a mental health campaign he launched along with the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry earlier this year.

“Work, as we all know, can be a source of great fulfillment, growth and fun,” he said. “But also at times, a significant source of stress.”

He also emphasized how workplace stress can take a toll on a person’s overall mental health and stressed that psychological conditions should be met with the same compassion in the office as physical health.

“I’ve also seen how an employer can create an environment where it is as unremarkable to talk about feeling a bit down as it is to admit to having a cold,” he said.

It’s a sentiment that American workers should take seriously too. Serious mental illnesses can cost the U.S. up to $193 billion in lost earnings per year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Depression is also one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. But many people don’t speak up about their condition ― let alone divulge it in the workplace ― due to fears of being judged or shamed. That’s why advocacy like Prince William’s is so important: It lets people know they don’t have to suffer in silence.

Mental health conditions don’t just evaporate the second a person walks through the office door. Simple as that.

Look, squirrels have it rough when it comes to Christmas traditions. Their little paws are terrible at wrapping presents, they don’t know the words to any carols, and they never have money for decorations.

We like to think that’s why one fluffy-tailed critter is taking matters into his own paws by snatching Christmas lights from his human neighbor,  a Seattle woman who caught the adorable thief on camera in a video that has since been made private.

“He has stolen 150 colorful Christmas bulbs within 24 hours,” wrote Margaret Rican, who posted videos of the “bulb bandit” on YouTube this week.

But while it might look like the thieving squirrel is stocking up to make his nest a little more festive, there’s a much more likely explanation — the squirrel is mistaking the bulbs for food. Rican noted in one of her posts that the squirrel — who chews through the wires to get the bulbs — buries them around the neighborhood.

“This kind of behavior is reported each year as squirrels see the bulbs as similar to an acorn or fruit,” John Koprowski, a University of Arizona professor and noted squirrel expert, told The Huffington Post. “While hard to know if this indicates a difficult winter for food, this behavior is likely just the result of being an industrious squirrel and caching a bounty of potential food to be used over the course of the winter.”

Koprowski said the behavior could be risky, as a squirrel could get electrocuted in the process. He added that it’s unlikely squirrels would actually consume any part of the bulb, since once they attempt and fail to chew through the object, they “would quickly realize their error.”

And what happens in the winter, when the squirrel’s buried food turns out to be lightbulbs? Luckily, Koprowski said, our little bulb bandit will probably have other food available.

“Squirrels typically overprepare for the winter and do not relocate all of the nuts that they bury,” he said. “Thus, a few mistakes will equate to spoilage of stored foods and would likely be of little consequence unless an individual starts to specialize on holiday bulbs across a neighborhood in a year of extreme food shortage.”

Koprowski didn’t totally rule out the possibility that the squirrel was just looking for some holiday cheer, though. 

“Of course, there is the highly unlikely possibility that we simply have style-conscious squirrels,” he said.

This story has been updated to reflect that the squirrel video has been set to private.

In the latest sign that the rich should be eaten and the end is nigh, Nordstrom has apparently started selling a totally regular-looking rock for $85. 

Yes, in what is apparently not a joke but in fact real life, the department store is selling a rock in a little pouch for an amount that is frankly insulting to humans who spend their money on things like rent or food or, well, anything besides $85 rocks. 

Surely by now you must be wondering whether this is the sort of fake news that has infiltrated the internet and clouded our collective judgment. But no, it is not. This is the reality we live in now. And in the blurb attached to what is just, really, a rock, the creator of said rock doesn’t even pretend that there’s some specific purpose for it. Because again, it’s just a rock:

A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It’s up to you, but this smooth Los Angeles-area stone—wrapped in rich, vegetable-tanned American leather secured by sturdy contrast whipstitching—is sure to draw attention wherever it rests. A traditional hardening process gives the leather a beautiful ombré effect. Like all Made Solid leather pieces, this one is cut, shaped, sewn and finished by hand in artist Peter Maxwell’s Los Angeles studio. Using vintage leatherworking tools and traditional saddle-stitching techniques, Maxwell aims to create beautiful designs that embody both simplicity and functionality, and that develop rich character and patina over time.

Made Solid, the “creator” of this “product,” states that most of the rocks are around 3 inches by 4.5 inches by 2 inches, but makes clear that “Each piece is unique and will vary slightly,” which makes sense. Because they are rocks.

Not able to afford an $85 rock? The wallet feeling a little light because of student debt, rent and food? Hey, don’t worry, because there’s another rock you can buy for just sixty five dollars. 

When historians look back on the year 2016, the year when the first real cracks in democratic capitalism began to show, will they mention the rock? Will they see it as a sign of a people searching for meaning in all the wrong places? Of a society that spread its collective wealth incorrectly? Or will they simply look the other way, face to the wind, as they shout into the ethers, “WHAT HAPPENED? HOW COULD THE GREATEST NATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD SO QUICKLY CRUMBLE TO ITS KNEES?”

We don’t know yet. But for now, at least the shipping on this rock is free. And that’s pretty sick.
