Conceal Your Looks

Conceal Your Looks
Not much to do with technology, but everything to do with fashion-hence the Diva side of us. But don't you all just hate how certain shirts just don't close around the chest area? There's a nice solution out there called Body & Clothing Tape that is supposed to fix that little problem.

The 30-foot roll is safe to use on any fabric, and says it won't leave any sticky residue. They also have other intresting things like the Nipple Concelment strips and bra liners. Wow! Bet you didn't realize how a number of strange products are out there just for the breast area.........

GameBoy Shoes!

GameBoy Shoes!
These photos went around the internet years ago but they're still some of my favourite examples of Japanese fashion. GameBoy Shoes! The source website (syberpunk.com) writes:

In the ultimate merger of Technology and Fashion, these funky boots are highly popular with teens all over Japan. I don't know if i'd be seen wearing them though. Surprisingly the Gameboys are still playable! Just pop it out and play, anytime anywhere.

But I'm not entirely sure that they were buyable. I've searched high and low for shops stocking them, both online and offline. I asked a lot of my students but none of them semed to know anything about it. So, judging from the photos and lack of apparent sales, I'll go out on a limb here and say that they weren't in fact street fashion seen around Japan, but rather a fashion student's design project. And very funky they are, too.

It is actually possible to make your own GameBoy Shoes but it involves some work on the part of your local cobbler, as well as sacrificing 2 GameBoys. It's possible to pick up second hand GameBoys or GB Advances from Akihabara's junk shop for a few dollars. It's one of my a number of projects that I'll get around to doing one day.........

Cool Retro Jewelry

Cool Retro Jewelry
My favorite pink-locked jewelry designer, Tarina Tarantino, has done it again. As a follow up to her wildly successful Pink Head Hello Kitty line (I proudly own the Queen of Pink Jet cameo necklace),.

Tarina has released a new line featuring a very cool and retro Barbie in shades of soft pink and pale aqua. Tarantino, a former model turned jewelry mogul, has been featured here on Techie Diva before and not only happens to be my favorite designer, but also the current favorite of a number of celebrities. So if you're looking for a hip gift for Mother's Day or some hot, retro jewelry, I suggest you check these lovely little baubles out.........

Phone Bag

Phone Bag
This looks cool, yes, but isn't also a bit ugly?.

"Not a mock-up, not a Photoshop project, not a character from the upcoming live-action Transformers movie - this bag really is a fully functional telephone. It kind of sucks that it's not actually a cell phone; it's a regular phone that you need to plug into a landline, but I guess it predates all that wireless business.

The kitschy caller will set you back $295 from La Pochette, and it also comes in black. Still, you have to wonder who played matchmaker between the beautiful-yet-innocent handbag and the ruggedly handsome telephone, whose union produced this container-communicator hybrid, but they really have to be stopped before they discover the USB-device market. Too late!".........

How to Lose of A Guy In 20 seconds

How to Lose of A Guy In 20 seconds
Maybe Kate Hudson couldn't lose the guy 10 days--I mean, who can resist Mathew McConaughey--but for exteme situations, just break glass. This Electric Cinderella glass slipper won't get you the prince charming, it will get rid of him, and I guarantee you it will be in less than 20 seconds.

The shoes secret weapon is a stun gun that delivers up to 100,000 volts and can only be used once by smashing the glass tip. It works in conjuction with a matching necklace or earring that activates the stun gun, and even glows to warn off attackers. Simon Brusa Pasque developed the shoe as project of a thesis, and hopes to make wearers feel safe and trendy.........

Inflatable Breast Dress

Inflatable Breast Dress
Pink is causing a commotion (and a few laughs) with her "Stupid Girls" video where you see her acting like a ditz, and even inflating her shirt to attract attention to her breasts. Guess life in LA is just that competitive! Well NYU student Doria Fan took that idea a step further and created the "Inflatable Breast Dress" for a student thesis, I suppose. More details after the jump....

In her own words:

"With this inflatable breasts dress, instead of sucking on the nipple, you need to blow into it, to give it life. Breasts are sometimes to referred to as “flotation devices” or described as "pneumatic". The dress is made of fashioned and reshaped flotation devices that have to be filled with air. Breast have also been referred to as “headlights”. For the next iterations of the dress I would like to make the breasts into headlights – by backlighting the vinyl breasts, so they have an ambient glow. One wearer said the dress was very comfortable and also gave her a different sense of personal space. With large inflated breasts, she felt like she had a protective zone."........
