Connect with the world, literally, by wearing velcro

Filed under: Style in the News, Vintage and Retro

Forget the baby bjorn, or the sling. Who needs carriers, strollers, or baby backpacks? With the new invention of velcro clothing, now you can just stick your baby to you and go. Look, ma, no hands!

The designers of all velcro outfits have one thing in mind -- human connection. They are imagining cities full of people walking around wearing velcro, bumping into each other, getting stuck together and starting up a conversation. The brand is called Takkiainen, which is developed by a company called Com-pa-ny, "Takkiainen is a jacket for lonely or bored people. It is designed to help the wearer to get in contact with others. Since we brush against each other every day as we move around in the city, we can use our clothes as a medium for meeting people and communicating with them."

Com-pa-ny, based out of Finland, coincidentally makes many other amazing products such as silicon socks (for outdoor use, no shoes), the safety skirt (giving you absolutely no chance of flashing an accidental up-skirt), jeans with built in gloves, jeans with a tail, " to sit on, to lean on, to balance, to wrap around you," a skirt with four purses attached, a rocking bear, a blanket you could hibernate in, literally, a beard made out of wool, in case you're looking to get a cleaner Adrien Grenier look, a hood and backpack all combined into one, and my favorite of them all, shoes with the kiddy shoes attached right on top for easy father/daughter dancing. The products are insane, exciting and innovative. You have to browse through the gallery to see what I'm talking about, everything that Com-pa-ny makes is out of this world! Check out the products and then tell me what crazy invention is your favorite!

Lauryn Hill's stylist might be a clown

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

I remember when The Fugee's The Score was the best CD of all time and everyone loved Lauryn Hill. Then Lauryn Hill came out with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and everyone loved her even more. Then one day something happened. Lauryn Hill went crazy and started taking fashion advice from the Barnum and Bailey's staff.

Lauryn, Lauryn, Lauryn -- Do you need a hug? Don't look to me for one because I don't want you to get me into a sleeper hold, but honey you need something. There isn't one thing you are doing right with this outfit; seriously I can't give you any points. In fear of you causing me bodily harm I will give you a half a point for the belt.

This outfit is like my worst nightmare come true, which is Michael Jackson's Thriller video colliding with a horde of angry rodeo clowns. It has the haunting/ evil appeal of Thriller and the craziness of a pack of rodeo clowns. This is one of those outfits that is so bad you can't even blame it on comfort. You can't be comfortable. Are you comfortable Lauryn?

And let's talk about the make-up! The make-up is un-excusable: your cheeks are way too rosy. You sort of look like one of those doll babies that wets her pants. This probably isn't too far from the truth because something tells me Lauryn is going to be wearing an adult diaper inside of a padded cell real soon.
