Keds That Show Off Your Inner Beauty, Internal Organs

Filed under: Shoes, Daily Obsession

Keds featuring anatomically incorrect internal organsWhat is it with clothing that showcases human anatomy? The kinda cute, kinda gross x-ray motif always seems to make for awesome geek chic clothes that you just can't seem to take your eyes off -- kinda like a bad car wreck. That's the type of awesome yet geeky vibe that we get from these anatomical/polka dot Keds on Zazzle. We do have a few criticisms though, like: why are they only available in woman's sizes?

Recession Takes a Bite Out of Puma

Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News

Geeky pair of Puma high topsWe're struggling to make sense out of this one. Earlier this week, Puma sportswear announced that its net-earnings in the 4th quarter were down 78.8%. Ouch. That surprises us because: a.) dude, we freakin' love Puma's geeky shoes, and b.) labels on the mid-lower end seem to be the only ones doing any business these days. Apparently, any brand that hasn't hammered out a distribution deal with Wal-Mart is totally screwed.

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

This weekend is the NBA All-Star Game. Sports fans and celebrities alike will be flooding Phoenix to see their favorite NBA players compete for slam-dunks, three-point shots and alley-oops, leading up to Sunday night's game. But enough about the sports, we care about the fashion.

You can't have a celebrity studded event without a gift suite and the NBA All-Star suite doesn't disappoint. We might not be able to get inside the suite, but we were able to find out some of its contents:

Check our our gallery to see what kind of stuff will be in the gift suite at this year's NBA All-Star Game. Even if you can't see the game in person, you can see it live in HD and in 3-D in specially equipped Cinedigm theaters across the country on Saturday February 14, 2009. If you're looking for last minute V-Day plans that won't break the bank, this is sure to be a lot of fun!

A Keyboard for Blondes

Filed under: Accessories, Product Reviews, Daily Obsession, Must Haves


You're gonna love this. I'm a brunette, and I love it. Perhaps I love it more for that very reason. The bubble-gum pink keyboard you see above has keys such as "Yes! I Want It!" instead of enter/return and "WARNING: SIZE XXL LETTERS" instead of caps lock.

And such as

Sonic Fabric: Um...wow!

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Men, Interviews, Product Reviews

I sound like artCall your musician friends. This is one of the coolest things we've ever seen.

Conceptual and sound artist Alyce Santoro invented a little something called Sonic Fabric. Sonic Fabric is made from 50% audio cassette tape and 50% polyester, and the result is 100% rock and roll.

Just ask Jon Fishman from Phish who wore a full Sonic Fabric suit onstage in Vegas and played it. That's right, you can play it. Watch Fishman here.

The sound:

You're never too old for footie pajamas

Filed under: Stores We Love, Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Men, Celebrities with Style, Gift Guides, Must Haves

If this is wrong, we don't wanna be right.It's starting to cool down out there. As the nights get colder and our nighties get longer, as we add blankets to our beds and turn up the heat, what could be cozier than a pair of footie pajamas?

Jumpin Jammerz has you covered. They have footie pajamas for men, women, children, and soon even dogs! The designs vary from simple solid colors to colorful guitars and ducks and jet planes. Some variations come with hoods, and some come with a "drop down seat" or as you probably know it: a butt flap. A butt flap!

The Jammerz, over ten years old, have garnered a good bit of Hollywood attention:

T-shirts to wear up, up and away!

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Men, Celebrities with Style, Kids and Babies


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.


Not much is bigger in the way of popular culture right now than superheroes, which makes geeks chic and true-believers the toast of the party (which we're finally invited to). It's time for us to blow the dust off our stash of comic books, take a deep breath and shout to the world, "I told you so!" After that it's best to drop it.

As goes popular culture, so to the world of t-shirts. While the superhero has been something of a mainstay over the years, the demand for cool shirts featuring the stars of comic and screen is now amazing (also: mighty, incredible, fantastic, spectacular, and uncanny).

Limited edition 90210-branded iPod Nano

Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style, Daily Obsession




For us, this quintessentially describes "geek-chic": a 90210-themed iPod Nano. Gearing up for the new spin-off/recreation coming to television this fall, CBS (which owns the rights to classic 90210 and is developing the new program), the CBS Store is offering a limited edition 8 GB iPod Nano (available in a full choice of colors, including pink!) featuring the original 90210 cast (well,t he cast members that mattered anyway) laser-engraved the back. You can even customize it by adding your own name.

The iPod is $269 and limited to only 2000 players, so if you want to reminisce like it's 1993, while keeping up with the gadgetry of 2008, order now!

If you want to relive the 90210-resurrection with fashion, Junk Food has a collection of 90210 (the original series) themed tee-shirts that we think are just awesome.

Geek chic tweezers

Filed under: Accessories, Cosmetics, Skin Care


Why didn't we think of this?So, you want to pluck your eyebrows. Good for you. We support that.

Those little hairs are hard to see, and finding the right lighting can be quite the drama. You think you're done, but then you catch yourself in the kitchen mirror and realize that in another light, you're still Frida.

Witness a pair of tweezers with a bright white light built in. Genius!
