Wooden Cell Phones: Would'nt You?

As the newest and shiny gadgets continue to sell like hotcakes, there is an underground backlash for all things retro: Polyester clothes are resurfacing, polka dots are making a splash, and now, this, wooden cellphones.
Now, it's true wooden cellphones have never existed, but you've got to admit, the creative flair is contagious.
Let's hope pine-tree embedded televisions don't come back.

Introducing the Bra Dryer

From Alexander Farennikov, the inventor who brought the world ever-glow T-shirts, comes the Bra Dryer. Their web site says succinctly:
Bra Dryer is a simple device which is based on the presumption that the best way to dry bras without ruining their fabric, wiring and padding is to dry them on a shape which resembles female breasts. That's why Bra Dryer is shaped like a female torso.
Hold on, hold up, it won't be ready until 2010. I know, I know, stem your disappointment. Check the site here. Will you be getting one?

Female Alcoholics, Introducing the Wine Rack

Want to look hot and get your buzz on? The cleverly and appropriately named Wine Rack is the bra for you. Now you can get "to up from the flo up" and nobody even know. Only problem is, your rack will get smaller and smaller with each sip - but you will increasingly not care. This would be absolute genius for Piedmont Park on a spring weekend day!

Tatted Love: Are Tattoos Still Cool?

The tat.
Nothing (not hair, not clothes) in the past 15 years has been more an expression of individuality than the tattoo.
If you look in old school yearbooks in the 1970s and 1980s you'd be hardpressed to find an expressive tattoo outside the small ink spot or initials. But about the early 1990s, the tattoo has enjoyed a large resurgence.
The origin of the word tattoo is from the Samoan word tatau, meaning "open wound." And it's named for good reason, for a tattoo is an insertion of ink into a layer of skin. Eurasians are said to have been the first to use tattoos as symbols of kinship, rites of passage and cultural identification.
But today? People rock tats because they look cool.
But will they forever? Sagging, wrinkled tattoos will be the norm in as few as 10 years as the generation that first got them in the 1990s gets up in age. What do you think? Cool or no?
