UD National | Everything That Was Important in 2011

If you have trouble reading this email, go to the online version 12/27/11   7 in '11 Everything That Was Important in 2011 Good God, that was a hell of a year. You got tested for tiger blood. You absconded to Pakistan to take care of some stuff. But above all else, you were educated in the art of the perfect burger. Here, the most important stuff of 2011.     YOUR MORNINGS GOT BETTER Snap Infusion and Bytox   This was the year you said, "No more." Not to whiskey-fueled thrill-seeking, of course, but to the regrettable mornings after. Instead, you got serious. We're talking candy serious. And vitamin-soaked-patch serious. Which might come in handy four days from now...   411: Snap Infusion and Bytox     YOU WERE ECO-MINDED Solar Bikini   If you've said it once, you've said it a thousand times: any scantily clad sunbathing companion of yours needs to be able to charge your iPhone with her swimwear. This, however, is the first year where that made any sense to anyone. And it's all thanks to this bikini. Thanks, bikini.   411: Solar Bikini, sunbathe with power here     YOU GOT INTO LEATHER Boots. Shoes. Wallets. Bags.   There were some stunning developments in the leather world this year. Between these four masters of hide, you found a bag to pass down (or not) to the grandkids, the platonic ideal of a loafer, elephant-skin wallets and some boots. You were wise enough to pass on the pants.   411: Cavalier Essentials, Rancourt & Co., Vvego International and Peter Nappi     YOU BOOKED A ROOM WITH A VIEW The Most Perfect View   All you wanted was an easy way to find the most breathtaking views of the most beautiful places on earth. Didn't seem like too much to ask. This site showed you what the view from your Uruguayan coastal casita would look like before you booked. We enjoyed your postcard.   411: The Most Perfect View, take in the splendor here     YOU HAD EDIBLES SENT TO YOUR DOOR The Wonders of the Mail-Order Universe   Cookies that looked like you. Black Label burgers on your very own grill. The bacon pig. In 2011, the future was now. And it was all delivered right to your door. (Combining all three into one barbecue was a stroke of genius, by the way.)   411: Parker's Crazy Cookies, Pat LaFrieda and Brunch by Mail     YOU LEISURED, HARD Jog.fm and Self-Correcting Golf Balls   Between mergers, acquisitions and official business trips to Saint-Tropez, free time was in short supply. So you made the most of yours with the jogging soundtrack you were born to run to and golf balls that briefly had you atop the PGA money list. You'll always have the green jacket.   411: Jog.fm and Self-Correcting Golf Balls     YOU STILL LOVED BACON Baconery   When the dust settled, and the chaos had ended, and the drinks had been drunk, there was still bacon. And there always will be. On scones. On brownies. In muffins. You cannot stop bacon. And you'll never try.   411: Baconery, revel in bacon here  dayne.mikelle.southernsass@blogger.com  Account Details: Favorites   0   Available Perks   16   Invites Sent   0   My UD   |   Edit Settings Spectacular things that fit in your hand: uranium cufflinks, a pound of white truffles... a handful of gold doubloons.
