 Cabestan Winch Tourbillion Watch
Spending a few grand on a watch is ridiculous. Spending $400K takes it to a whole other crazy level. $400K is what the Cabestan Winch Tourbillion watch will cost you. From afar it sort of resembles a weird fishing rod reel, but up close, you can see the amazing workmanship.

Who said bras are only for women? A Japanese online lingerie retailer is selling bras for cross-dressing men and they’ve quickly become one of its most popular items.

 
Thinking of fashion and trends, I got thinking that ultimately it is the ‘whole’ look that makes an impact…a fab dress, great shoes, right accessories, they all fail to make create magic by themselves. It’s only when they complement each other that a person looks good. And accessories go a long way in adding a [...]

Carry it, don’t bury it.

The same people who make the Solio solar chargers have released a whole new line of bags, laptop sleeves, and gadget cases under the “Tread” brand. Each of the items is made from recycled inner tube tires.
Most of the smaller bags look fairly typical, but the “Transient Attache” and the “Sleeve” [...]

 Fashion knows no limits
If you missed the good old days of calling your loved ones with the comfort of a good old-fashioned phone, and miss that feeling when you could hook the handset on your shoulder and lean on as you spoke. Times may have changed but it is nice to know that this particular [...]

When a dog needs to take a Wii on Halloween
These Wii dogs win any costume contest hands paws down. Now I have a burning desire to see a Wiener dog as a Wiimote. While the dogs look thoroughly humiliated, this sort of thing pleases humans.

 
Today I bring to you Halloween business ideas, surprise, surprise.
I have to say, I was disappointed to find that while the holiday itself is weird and wacky, the corporations that surround it are pretty usual. They range from haunted houses, to event planners that will decorate and provide spooky catering for your party, to costume [...]

A Fistfull Of Fashionable Memory

There isn’t a single thing about these USB skull rings that makes a lick of sense. Yes, I have been known to apply the pewter washer of an ineptly molded skull to the thick porkjam fingers of my youth, but not in a color scheme favored by, say, Glenn Danzig’s gay [...]
