			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guys are difficult to target when it comes to ads. One of the best ways to get their attention is to plaster a really pretty (or sexy) woman beside the target product, but sometimes, even that doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>Another is to get a pretty lady to walk around a New York park with an iPad for a head.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63018" title="ipad_girl" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ipad_girl.jpg" alt="ipad girl" width="600" height="454" /></p>
<p><span id="more-62997"></span>You didn&#8217;t read that line wrong: this girl has not one, but four iPad&#8217;s for a face. Wouldn&#8217;t you stare at her too, if you saw her casually strolling around in the park and finally settling down on a bench to read a book? (I doubt she&#8217;s really reading, though. I mean, come on, she may be iPad Head Girl, but even she doesn&#8217;t have X-ray vision.)</p>
<p>This was actually a clever marketing ploy by Hearst Publishing to promote <em>Cosmo for Guys</em>. To be honest, I&#8217;d give iPad Head Girl&#8217;s face a swipe or two as well, even though I&#8217;m a girl and not part of the target group for the stunt.</p>

<p>It took a while before a guy really did go up to IHG and swiped her face for good measure, only to be treated to several pages of content from the Cosmo for Guys magazine. You go, IHG!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few years back there was an alarming trend of small purse-like accessory bags  (also known as &#8220;manbags&#8221; or &#8220;murses&#8221;) being carried by metrosexuals in the trendier parts of town. Regardless of how in touch I am with my masculinity, I could never bring myself to point where I would carry one. I eventually ended up with a messenger bag to carry my crap around, which is like a giant man-purse, but that doesn&#8217;t count, right? Now, there&#8217;s finally a handbag that even Rambo himself would be proud to wear.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3285 aligncenter" title="holster_wallet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/holster_wallet.jpg" alt="holster wallet" width="520" height="387" /></p>
<p>While the Koffski No. 1 wallet set will definitely be a deterrent for would-be thieves, don&#8217;t be surprised when the police stop you and ask you to get down on your knees and lock your ankles together.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3286 aligncenter" title="holster_wallet_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/holster_wallet_2.jpg" alt="holster wallet 2" width="520" height="365" /></p>
<p>The holster wallet is actually comprised of three pieces, a wallet, a small bag, and a &#8220;V&#8221; connector, which happen to form something that looks suspiciously like a shoulder carry case for a gun. Made from fine Rugato calfskin, tanned in Tuscany, Italy, this isn&#8217;t some cheapie throwaway either.</p>
<p>Be prepared to walk around without any money in your wallet after the purchase, since it will set you back the tidy sum of €349 (appx. $543 USD). Of course, you could always save yourself the $500 bucks and just not carry the cash with you in the first place. But if you really have to look like a bad-ass, you can grab the complete set from <a href="http://www.design-3000.de/oxid.php/sid/bce6ff64168d88498ef991089fc1a2dd/cl/details/anid/17e489063d9e44bc4.94815808/tpl/-/lang/1/listtype/list">design3000</a>.</p>
