It wasn't enough to dress like Ke$ha and head downtown on a Friday night to see what people thought about the look.

Oh no.

For this week's episode of "I'll Take That Dare," I wore the infamous Forever Lazy onesie. In public.

Check out the HILARIOUS reactions after the jump!

I consider myself pretty brave as far as married women go. I'm secure enough in my powerful lady status to let my husband grab things off tall shelves and assist me in shoveling snow off our driveway. And yes, I'll admit it, I've even let the man get his fingers on a particularly painful zit (sorry, I'm a popper). But one woman has gone where womankind has never gone before ... she let her husband do her makeup.

And I thought I was brave? I have nothing on Rosie and the video that is bound to leave you both in stitches (because this couple is that adorable) and fearing for your skin (and your eyes, and ... well, you get the picture).

Loyal She's Still Got It readers probably remember 'Style Dare.'

Initially written as a column for a local women's magazine, I tested out some of the craziest fashion/beauty ideas and trends on the market.

One time, I wore one of these 'Backtaculars' (pictured at your left) to a local bar -- with hilarious results. Another time, I wore a Snuggie to lunch and took photos that ended up on the Today show!

But as fun as the Style Dares were to conduct, I always thought they would be far better in video format.

Well now, CafeMom is granting me my wish! Style Dare will soon be a CafeMom-produced video series!

And you get to help me decide which dare to take next!

There always seems to be at least one outlandish dresser at work. You know, the one who wears hideous sweaters with seriously mismatching jeans, or bright purple stockings with an orange corduroy skirt. But I bet the fashion eccentrics at your office have nothing on 30-year-old Jo Edwards, who wore a replica of Lady Gaga's raw meat dress to the office.

"I don’t know what my colleagues thought of me turning up to work in the meat dress," said Edwards. "I will probably not hear the end of this for a while but who cares."

Just wait until you hear why she decided to channel her inner Mother Monster:

Unless you live in Argentina. Or Greenland. Or the penguin exhibit at the zoo (a girl can dream, can’t she?), you’re schvitzing right now. This is the time of year when I start wishing my office had a rooftop pool, or at least one of those misters they have stationed around Disney World so tourists don’t pass out walking to the Country Bear Jamboree.

That’s not going to happen, though, nor is my proposed Bathing Suit Fridays, so I went ahead and did the next best thing -- chopped all my hair off. And I’m not the only one who’s in the mood for a short 'do -- Emma Watson took it all off, and, most recently, so did Evan Rachel Wood.

For celebs, going short isn’t that big of a risk -- shell out a few hundred bucks for some extensions and they’re back to flipping their long movie star locks around. For the rest of us, though, taking the short hair plunge is a big, scary deal. Here’s how to not fear the shears:

If this was last year, I might say that the only people who compete in beauty pageants are dumb blondes. But now, in 2011, I'm changing my stereotype to dumb blondes and bald chicks. You heard me.

This weekend, Sandra Dubose-Gibson was crowned the 2011 Mrs. Black North Carolina. (Note the "Mrs." She's a married mother of two.) And she's completely bald. As in no hair. Not-a-one. Nothin' there. You know, kind of like Miss Delaware, Kayla Martell.

Like Kayla, Sandra also suffers from alopecia -- a disease that causes the body's immune system to attack hair follicles. But unlike Kayla, Sandra opted to compete without a wig. Bold. I like it.

Would I be able to do the same thing? Mmm, probably not.

Before the Mohawk

A week ago, I would have told you nothing gets me more crazy looks than being a woman with a shaved head. I was wrong. Nothing gets me more crazy looks than being a woman with a mohawk.

I found out on Sunday, when I ventured out of my house with a head shaved save for one strip of (freshly dyed) blond hair down the middle. And until March 11, I will continue to draw the looks, and the laughs. Because I'm keeping the mohawk for three weeks.

I've definitely worn a pair of jeans for a few weeks before washing them. Sometimes because I don't feel like they need it, and sometimes because I prefer the baggier fit. Who likes clean jeans? They're stiff and tight and somehow mine always end up shorter.

But a student at the University of Alberta decided he didn't want to wash his jeans, for like, a year. And they were skinny jeans, to boot. Ew?

Student Josh Le chose to do this experiment to see if he could break in the tight jeans so much that they'd hug the contours of his body. Really? That's why he wanted to do this? Dude. Lame. Come on.

But the experiment ended up serving a different, rather interesting, purpose.
