The whole dress is then connected to a pumping backpack which precisely times the movement of the fluids – resulting in an amazing lightshow. But enough of my yakkin’. Watch, and be mesmerized…

Trippy, no? Now all he has to do is figure out a way to make it truly portable, and he’d be able to sell thousands of these for rave-goers.

The suit comes courtesy of Marc DeVidts from Miami and he recently wore it to Dragon*Con 2010 in Atlanta. It looks like his underwear lights up, which is kind of funny. They shine through and create a diffuse display.

Of course, the best part is that the light show can be fully controlled via an iPhone. There really is an app for everything.

Russell first appeared at the San Mateo Maker Faire in 2006. He’s been updated and made a reappearance this year at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, California.

The big question is: what is it? No it’s not a new Teletubby or Barney, it’s a gigantic light-up mechanical ruminant with illuminated eyes and ears. Here’s a video of the Electric Giraffe holding court at a recent rave…

Now it makes perfect sense, right?

Found hidden amongst the millions of items for sale over on eBay, Cyb3rBurn’s “Cyber Rave Goth Trance LED light-up Halloween Gas Mask” will definitely draw attention the next time you’re hanging out with your friends on the dance floor. And when the riot police show up and raid the place, perhaps you’ll have a few extra seconds of fresh air before the tear gas gets to you.

And even if it doesn’t protect you from serious airborne threats, at least you’ll look cool while you’re gasping for your last breath. This oddity can be found over on Cyb3rburn’s eBay store for $39.99 (USD).

For a casual night out, why not try on one of Lumigram’s Lumitop fiber optic tops? Each one is powered by a compact battery pack connected to a bright LED light source, and provides ample illumination to light up any pair of boobies that need a little extra attention.

For a more formal occasion – say some sort of elegant ball being thrown for the leaders of the United Federation of Planets – there’s the Lumitop Sophia dress, an intricate dress that’s woven from a ridiculous amount of fiber optic wire and features a colorful LED belt. I’m really hoping to see some star walking down the red carpet wearing one of these for the Oscars.

Of course, Lumigram doesn’t discriminate. While they don’t yet offer any light-up 3-piece suits, they do offer a Lumitop for guys – assuming you’re a guy named Bruno.

And once you wear light-up clothes, you’re guaranteed to have as much fun as the people in this video clip. I promise.

I want to party with these guys. And listen to their dance music. And learn their dance moves (both of their dance moves). Light up clothes are truly the future of fashion. You heard it here first on Technabob.

While LumiGram’s trademark style is the colorful glowing fiber optics shown above, you really got to love any company that sells a product called the LumiX LED Thong. I really want to party with these guys.

This pair of battery-powered gloves have a set of bright LEDs built into the fingertips. In addition to a brilliant blue always-on mode, the gloves can also be set to epileptic flashing or disco chase-light mode — just in case your illuminated fingertips don’t draw enough attention on their own.

Thankfully, they haven’t yet caught on, but you better not let Kanye West know about these, lest he wear them to his next (oh so humble) award acceptance speech and start some kind of trend.

If you’re really ready to wear these out in public, you can find them from France’s Lux et Deco (get it, L.E.D.?) for €29 (about $45 USD) a pair.

The pocket-sized device costs £14.99 ($30 USD) and can store up to four messages at 30 characters each in its internal memory.

The Spacewriter comes with English and European character sets, as well as some funky special characters. It’ll also generate some pretty cool special effects if you choose not to move it in a straight line.
