Several readers have asked if we have any health advice for them, since we now work for a large consumer-oriented health company.

Well, a few years ago we all had much fun helping our friend Windy with her Leukemia run that we decided to look into what other diseases have become trendy amongst the jet set. So if you plan on getting sick this year, consider our recommendations your license to ill!

First there is Parkinson’s Disease. Michael J. Fox has made this illness something of a cause celebre, but we already knew about Parkinson’s back when only Muhammad Ali had it. *yawn* So yesterday.

There’s also breast cancer, which has become tres gauche since Elizabeth Edwards announced she had recently acquired it. The KAC crew considered helping a breast cancer charity in 2004, but too many animalistic men (eww!) kept coming up to our well-endowed redheaded friend (who shall remain nameless) and asking if she wanted an “inspection.” One means, really.

But, alas, we found ourselves a delightful little standby called the bunion. It’s all the rage amongst we Manolo Blahnik gals, who like to prance about in four-inch heels at 4 a.m. but most importantly, we found ourselves a cute podiatrist *kisses* who loves to coddle our widdle piggies every time they get snaggled. Bon vivant!

So we recommend the latter of these diseases to keep your toes twinkling and to make your full calendar of maladies complete! Viva la foot fetishist!
