" Have you ever walked through a dark alley, or some other questionable place, to your car at night and wondered &amp;quot;should I be carrying mace?&amp;quot; Wait until you see which gorgeous Hollywood actress reportedly carries the stuff, along with a knife...**** Eva Mendes reportedly has been known to arm up with pepper spray and a knife. But, Eva isn&amp;#x27;t the only starlet who&amp;#x27;s a fan. Kelly Ripa, Carmen Electra and Lindsay Lohan are all supporters of a company called PepperFace.com, which produces &amp;quot;fashionable&amp;quot; pepper spray. See a video about how to use pepper spray--safely--here. Mace is one thing, but when I heard about a new product aimed at protecting women against rapists, I honestly gasped. The Web site FemDefense details an innovative gadget that looks something like a tampon, which is inserted into your vagina. But, here&amp;#x27;s the deal: There&amp;#x27;s a sharp spike on the end designed to injure a rapists penis upon entry. I know. Whoa. So tell me readers, do you carry pepper spray? Do you want to? How about guns and knives? And, what do you think of the FemDefense product? Too over-the-top for you? No? P.S. I feel compelled to tell you that I have a yellow belt in karate--with a green stripe!
