If you are a chick and you don't love Marilyn Monroe, well, that is just plain weird. Since we are under the assumption that everyone loves her, we have a couple of tips on how to dress like her (her look was more modern than you might think).

We know it seems like a strange time to take a break from reality and practice the blissful escapism that is the American dream -- but why the hell not fantasize about a martini shaker that you totally can't afford. This entire week, we've been daydreaming about retardedly expensive luxury items like Louis Vuitton yachts. Maybe it's the turmoil in the financial markets, or maybe this Ralph Lauren cocktail shaker really would make martinis taste $275 better than the ones at Target.

We can tell you one thing for sure -- pouring a martini from this leather-wrapped cocktail shaker would make you look a lot more like James Bond. Might even make important people crowd around you at parties. It certainly looks a lot more like our vision of the American dream. The one where we float around on a yacht all day wearing Polo shirts, drinking martinis with JFK and fixing the world's problems all day.

For $295, it better turn Smirnoff into Grey Goose.

A lot of people have compared Barack Obama's ability to energize and unite the American people to that of JFK. There's also another resemblance: they're both tongue-in-cheek sex symbols. Very few presidential candidates -- much less the collectively unattractive US Presidents -- ever get the honor of having their face plastered on a pair of designer underwear.

Aside from offering support for dudes who wish they had a more shapely butt, designer Andrew Christian is showing his love for the Democrats' apparent nominee with a new line of Obama-emblazoned boxer-briefs. For $29, you can order these semi-creepy undies in green, blue, or royal blue -- $1 from each purchase goes to benefit the Democrat Party. How generous. We're seriously wondering why he isn't marketing any Obama panties or boy shorts?

To McCain supporters, Christian says: tough shizzle. He's a proud Democrat, plus he doesn't think that anyone would buy boxers with John's mug on them -- and he's probably right. See out McCain's dorky green gear.

Who's the star of the next scandalous celebrity sex tape? Kristin Davis? Paris Hilton? Perez Hilton? The answer is none of the above. The must-see celebrity sex tape of the month features the mother of all American sex symbols: Marilyn Monroe.

According to the NY Post, the only known copy of the infamous FBI sex tape -- showing Marilyn getting hot and heavy with an unidentified male -- was sold to a collector for $1.5M over the weekend. So, when will the footage hit YouTube? The collector says that it will never see the light of day.

Have you ever had someone walk up to you on the street and ask you "hey, do you know what time it is in Tokyo?" Frankly, it's embarrassing to not know. It hurts to have to shake your head in shame and walk home wishing that you were more worldly. Well, now you can have the answers to all these questions and more -- while looking like a fashion guru at the same time.

This new watch by Diesel allows you to keep track of the space-time continuum in LA, New York, London, Paris and Tokyo. Plus, it might be the coolest leather-band watch design I've ever seen. The 6 watch faces give it a sophisticated 'I'm into design' look, but the rivets suggest a more balanced, rugged style.

Some might ask "Hey, what about me? I live in the Central Time Zone." The answer: in fashion, there is no Central Time Zone -- so deal with it.

It's hard to beat a great pair of shades. Everyone knows that -- for whatever reason -- wearing glasses makes you appear smarter to others. I don't know if that applies to sunglasses, but I know for sure it applies to these. Ray Ban is re-issuing a limited-addition set of their iconic Wayfarer sunglasses -- and they fold.

I usually try to stay away from designs that have unnecessary parts that can break, but these are so cool that I can overlook the folding thing. These shades are classic and they have about the most impressive resume of any other model of men's sunglasses in fashion history -- aside from aviators maybe.

You can't go too far wrong when you're wearing the same shades as James Dean, JFK or Bob Dylan. You can even 1 up those dudes, because yours fold -- and they come with a leather carrying case.
