Time to shop: “Black Friday” steals and deals

Shopping November 2009 | 0 Comments

black-friday
I guess it’s finally here. And depending on who you are: either the most dreaded shopping experience of the year, or for you brave and delirious souls waking up at 4am Friday, your favorite. I think you can tell, we’re not fond of the morning cage fighting experience we’ve witnessed in the past. The tickle-me-elmo and easy bake oven can just as easily be purchased on-line. That’s not to say there aren’t some great deals out there! But nearly all of them are just a click away. We’ve got a HUGE list – get your plastic ready.

Sock it to Me, Baby!

Fashion November 2009 | 0 Comments

sock-it-to-me-socksLet’s face it, most of our sexy lingerie goes to waste when we wear it because it’s usually only seen by two people. Socks, on the other hand, you can show off to strangers on the bus, co-workers visiting your cube, or anyone at the coffee shop – without needing to go to confession. Why not express a little of your personality with a pair of socks from Sock it to Me. With hundreds of adorable socks for men and women, the five shown above barely do them justice. Who knows? You might even wear a pair that you designed.

A Very Sunny Christmas

Entertainment November 2009 | 0 Comments

a-very-sunny-christmasPossibly the most underrated shows on cable here in the U.S., It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia usually has us stuck somewhere between complete shock and holding our sides from laughing so hard. The hilarious and unashamed non-politically correct cast has been given a get-out-of-jail-free card for their Xmas special. And straight from the horses mouth, DeVito says that they’re “doing everything we can’t do on television. It’s like basically sex, and drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Anything we want.” Great! one more thing to add to the Amazon Wish List. A short Sunny clip and prices after the link.

New Hiker: Casio “shock-resistant” digicam EX-G1

Technology November 2009 | 0 Comments

Casio EX-G1We’ve all dropped our phones or camera at some point in their curiously short life time. But have you ever noticed that the words “shock resistant” or “weatherproof” aren’t usually mentioned in the same sentence as good looking or stylish? Casio aims to dispel that stereotype with the new EX-G1. Not bad looking at all – and we’ll add a few more buzz words in there while we’re at it: freeze proof, water proof and dust proof. Had enough? And you don’t have to be an extreme sports junkie to benefit from its toughness. It drops this December in sexy red, or standard black. Details, technical specs and pricing after the link.

Draw on the walls with Idea Paint

Home & Garden Technology November 2009 | 0 Comments

idea-paintDo you have kids that scribble on the walls? No? Do you find yourself wanting to scribble on the walls, or maybe you just want more room to jot down your 13-step plan for total world domination… (maybe that’s just me?). When you’re ideas are confined to a small space, your ideas are going to stay small as well. So why not give yourself an entire wall to express those ideas? Born out of frustration when running out of room, a couple of guys came up with the idea of painting entire walls with the same material as a dry erase board. Brilliant! At only $4 a square foot, why not just do an entire room? Read on for a quick how-to video and to see it in action.

Kim Kardashian’s New Scent

Beauty Fashion November 2009 | 1 Comment

kim-kardashian-perfumeQuestion overheard in an all male office conversation (true story): What do you think Kim Kardashian smells like?  My favorite answer was “Money.”  After giggling and snickering at all the Reggie Bush sex innuendos, it turns out that we’ll all be able to know soon enough. The first of two perfumes will be released exclusively at Sephora around Mothers Day. Hot on the heels of Shoe Dazzle, money might be the right answer after all. At least I’ll know what to get the guys for our Swanky secret Santa.
