mini-lighter-cufflinks

You’ve been stealing glances at each other the whole night. All you see is that hot little number with the shiny red dress, everything else is black and white. She finishes her drink, and sashays off to the terrace, the light bouncing off her hips as they sway. You adjust your tie and follow her.…

louis_vuitton_xbox_360_faceplate

When I think of Louis Vuitton, I usually think of primping poseurs with puny purse-size pekingese – not potty-mouthed pre-pubescents playing PGR, Portal and Prince of Persia. But the minute I laid eyes on this Xbox 360 window-dressing I had to give it a second thought.

Our pals over at Hawty McBloggy spotted this over-the-top Air…

Cheesy emoticons — they’re not just for your IM client anymore. Thanks to ClixWear, you can plaster semi-colon smileys and less-than-threes on your chest (and regions beyond).

Emoticons are designed to help add context and tone to text-based conversations (because it’s important to distinguish between a joke and a dig), but all the winking on these…

atari joystick t-shirt says “control me” – literally

Joystick Tee

Let people know you like to be pushed around with this “Control Me” Atari joystick tee.

While I will admit that the retro video game-themed t-shirt genre is already pretty crowded, I think this particular tee stands out because of it’s rough-edged, hand-drawn graphics and its classic color scheme. Also, like, joysticks and lightning are…

White Gameboy Shoes

These ostentatious shoes and boots are embedded with working Gameboys. The best part? You can pop out the Gameboys and play with them!

Like almost every other cutting-edge, kooky techno-fashion mashup, these have been spotted on teenage girls in Japan. They don’t look easy to walk in, but that’s a small price to pay while…
