Great googly moogly. This has nothing to do with technology but I don’t care because this is my blog and I’ll write about what I want. So there! This dress is made entirely from coffee filters… which is very green, but also sounds a little scratchy. It’s surprisingly cute.
The dress is made by an 18 year-old girl named Aimee Kick, an aspiring fashion designer from Missouri who is apparently KICKing butt. She wore this little number to her prom. SMILE, Aimee, you’re famous!
This reminds me of one of the first runway shows I ever did, back in Richmond, VA in 2001… yes, it was a very long time ago. The show was called ‘Wearable Art’ and I wore a dress made out of metal washers, hinges, bolts, screws, etc. It sold for $2500.
It also reminds me of my senior prom. My Mom made my dress, it was yellow, sparkly, and gorgeous – but that’s not the funny part. I decided to be like, totally, stylish to crimp my hair. This turned out to be not such a great idea after all, but I only discovered it when it was too late to go back and start over. So I went to the prom with puffy eyes from crying and hair that looked like a lampshade. At least my Mom thought I looked beautiful. But who gives a care about high school anyway? Glory days my butt!

Oh this is just horrible. I’m all about integrating technology into my life wherever possible (as long as it is convenient and helpful) – but this is one of those things I just look at and think, “Why??”
British fashion student Georgie Davies has created a dress that lights up as you receive calls on your cell. Davies, who had some help from Sony Ericsson to merge technology with fashion, had some interesting logic behind her creation:
“When you’re in a pub or a bar, you can never, ever hear your phone,” Davies to Reuters.
What, no one uses vibrate anymore? The dress is knee-length, white, and covered with shoulder-to-hip translucent scales that move and blink. Here is tennis star Maria Sharpova modeling, with a cell phone, because… why not?
Davies plans for the dress to incorporate Bluetooth technology so that it can wirelessly interact with phones. The only thing that could make this dress worse would be if it lit up in sync with your ringtone. Don’t get any ideas!!

I’m a 24 year old girl who lives in Southern California. You’d expect me to spend my weekends at the beach, sunning myself. Think again! After reading countless horror stories about skin cancer, it’s near impossible to ignore the warnings. SPF 700 or bust. Even after slathering it on every inch of skin, I still get paranoid!
This bikini from Fiona Carswell might look sexy, but when you’ve been in the sun too long, it begins to show grody spots of malignant moles – aka skin cancer – all over the swimsuit. So unless you want to look like you don’t wash your suit, you have to find some shade to get the suit back to it’s original color. It’s also a nice reminder of what you’re risking spending all that time in the sun.
