Louie Luggage That Bites

The biblical saying "Don't give your pearls to swine" has taken on a new meaning with one artist's bold fashion statement. Called "Excessory Baggage," the sculptures include a Louie Vuitton-designed pig as luggage.
I think it's a pig. It might be a dog.

The images are a little creepy to say the least, but they show, to me, how luxurious items can be bought and worn by the most unappreciative people, swine, in fact. The works, by artist Meryl Smith, are from her blog, Meryl Smith. Whaddaya porking around fer? Order yours now. There's nothing like the look of high-priced fashion -- and the smell of bacon. What a combo!

Efff Who Pumps, anyone?

Despite the vulgar term, which we will happily pronounce as "Eff U pumps" fierce stiletto heels, I'm told, hurt something awful.
I used to work in ladies shoes (at a department store that will remain anonymous for now) and I can tell you that women, despite cruxificion-like pain, will do what they need to do to make it happen.
The term "Eff U pumps" has been around for a few years, but most people heard about it when British singer Amy Winehouse put it in a song.

It is, according to Wikipedia, "a slang expression for sexy women's shoes, particularly those featuring bare heels."
The thing is, some women can barely walk in said shoes. Truthfully, men don't need to see a type of shoe to know when it's "that" time. In fact, barefoot may do more for the libido.
But you do what you have to do, don't cha?

Socks with Chairs

With the current cold snap the nation is going through, it's a wonder that somebody didn't capitalize the fashionable possiblities.
Introducing chair socks, so your furniture can look just as warm as you are (or so you can creep out your visiting niece and nephew with how the room is "alive".)
The only thing is, I can figure out if this is very a ploy to sell chairs or a ploy to sell socks?

When I first caught a whiff of a woman wearing Chanel No. 5, it took me by surprise: She flew by me -- we were passing through a duty-free shop in Toronto -- in such a hurry she didn't even notice she scarf whack me in the face.

It gets its name from French madame Gabrielle "CoCo" Chanel.
Before Chanel, most perfumes were derived from natural oils such as balsam and flower extracts.

Viagra-like ice cream, anyone?

You scream for ice cream?
Not like this, you have'nt.
Now you can enjoy the cool and sweet comforts of ice cream while arousing all your senses at the same time.
A London bar, The Icecreamists, will commence serving ice cream's answer to Viagra, called the Sex Pistol.
The Sex Pistol will have sex-arousing ingredients to make sure "Rocky Road," lives up to its name.
Matt O’Connor, founder of The Icecreamists, is quoted as saying
in a recent article: “This is the perfect après shopping treat. Just one Sex Pistol will leave you feeling energised and confident – but please, don’t pester the staff!”
Do you scream for some ice cream all of a sudden (and does'nt dude in the pic look like a werewolf in 'Thriller' that didn't change all the way?)

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.
(Knock on wood).

The Colossus: Chanel No. 5

When I first caught a whiff of a woman wearing Chanel No. 5, it took me by surprise: She flew by me -- we were passing through a duty-free shop in Toronto -- in such a hurry she didn't even notice she scarf whack me in the face.
Upon further realization, it wasn't the scarf, but the Chanel.
Debuting in 1921, Chanel No. 5 has been dubbed "the world's most legendary frangrance."
It gets its name from French madame Gabrielle "CoCo" Chanel.
Before Chanel, most perfumes were derived from natural oils such as balsam and flower extracts.
Not Chanel.
CoCo, who was born in a poorhouse, is famous for saying ""I want to give women an artificial perfume," said Chanel. "Yes, I really do mean artificial, like a dress, something that has been made. I don't want any rose or lily of the valley, I want a perfume that is a composition."
Sophisticated yet simple (inhales). Yes.
