Can’t Stop Eating? Well, At Least These Gluttony Pants Won’t Stop Fitting

By Hazel Chua on 03/28/13 • Leave a comment!

Gluttony Pants

You know it’s time to stop asking for second (or third) helpings when your pants are fit to burst. Over the years, people found a way to circumvent this discomfort by wearing their ‘fat pants’ when they know they’re about to eat more than they should, like when they’re attending a party or going to an eat-all-you-can buffet.

You probably have a pair in your closet, whether it’s sweatpants or a pair of jeans that’s two sizes bigger than your usual. Fat pants may be more forgiving on your waist, but not so much on the other parts of your body, making you look frumpy and short and just generally unattractive.

Then along came the Gluttony Pants.

Viral Marketing Done Right: American Eagle Announces Paint-On Skinny Skinny Jeans

By David Ponce on 03/25/13 • Leave a comment!

Spray-on-AEO-Skinny-Skinny-jeans

Yes, they’re trolling. But it’s a darn good one. The 30 second advertisement featured below is about a purported new range of skinny jeans from clothing retailer American Eagle. “It’s our skinniest fit yet and is so comfortable you’ll feel like you’re wearing nothing at all,” boats the narrator. And that’s when you realize that the pants are quite literally painted on. The campaign doesn’t end with a simple video however, as they provide you with a link to a special page on their website where you can contemplate buying a can of the spray-on fabric. There is even an option to add the $50 “Limited Edition” set to your shopping cart; pressing the button brings up an “out of stock” warning. Right.

Let’s be clear, this is absolutely a tongue-in-cheek hoax, as confirmed by the company’s vice-president last friday on the Today Show. But it does show the company hitting one out of the park in the field of viral marketing. The video has racked up over a million views in three days and got the Interwebs chatting.

Check out the video, below.

There’s Food In Your Hair: Would You Like Fries With Your ‘Do?

By Hazel Chua on 03/22/13 • Leave a comment!

Food Hair

I can imagine a bunch of crazy scenarios where food would somehow end up being spread all over your head. I don’t know when it became fashionable to ‘wear’ food on your head, either, but I guess I’m a little late on the trend because these foodie hair accessories are popping up all over the place–and I just heard about them today.

Apparently, walking around and looking like you’ve got some pancakes or fries on your head is hot these days. What’s even hotter is when you’re wearing a strip of bacon on your hair instead.

You can hit the break to check out a couple more shots of the delicious accessories.

For Your Soles Only: Weird and Wacky Shoes That Might Just Make You Break a Leg or Two

By Hazel Chua on 02/19/13 • Leave a comment!

High Heels

It’s no secret that women often put their comfort on the line, all in the name of fashion. Whether it’s sporting too-heavy headpieces or wearing sky-high platforms, there’s little that fashion obsessed women won’t do if it means getting a leg up on their equally trend-hungry peers.

For years, doctors have been warning women about the dangers of high heels on their ligaments–and, for years, women have been ignoring them. Designers are coming up with kookier designs by the season, and we’re showcasing a bunch of the weirdest and wackiest shoes that look like they might just make the wearer break a leg or two. If you thought the Mojito shoe was the height of shoe insanity, then think again, because there’s more.

Zip Tie: There’s No Need for Knots–Just Zip It Up!

By Hazel Chua on 02/11/13 • 1 Comment

Zip Tie

Ties. I’ve had the displeasure of having been asked to knot the ties of a few of my guy friends when we attended a wedding last week, and let me just say that it was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Clearly, I should’ve paid more attention to the girl scouts who went around teaching people how to tie all sorts of knots when I was kid.

If you share the same hate relationship with ties, then zip it. I don’t mean that you should put a lid on your complaints; rather, I’m talking about getting the Zip Tie, which does away with knots since all you have to do is zip the tie into place. Quick, easy, painless–and I daresay, fashionable?

Pee-Wee Herman, Spiderman, And Other Cycling Suits Available For Your Riding Pleasure

By David Ponce on 01/31/13 • 1 Comment

Awesome-Bicycle-Skinsuits1

We’re all looking forward to the summer. Only some of us are looking forward to more than just the sun and the warmth: we’re thinking about riding again. But why not celebrate the departure of the snow and ice with a spiffy cycling suit? It turns out that there are a bunch of pretty original ones floating around the Interwebs. Like the ones above, which look like Pee-Wee Herman or Spiderman. Or the ones after the jump, that look like they came out of Tron. Or even better, the “Hipster” themed ones. Yeah… hipster. We couldn’t make that stuff up.

So, if you fancy attracting attention as you ride, these seem just about perfect. They’re $150 a piece, but they do seem to be legitimate cycling suits… if only a little strange looking.

Wrangler Debuts Moisturizing Jeans

By David Ponce on 01/21/13 • Leave a comment!

The only thing better than getting yourself a new pair of jeans is getting one that’s been infused with “hydrating oils and butters such as apricot kernel oil, passion fruit oil, rosehip oil and shea butter.” Right? No? Heck, we don’t know anything about fashion, or whether women would ever be into such a thing, but there you have it. They’re called the Demin Spa Jeans. Lizzie Jagger (yes, Mick Jagger’s daughter) is the one modelling them in the picture, and has this to say about the experience:

“They definitely feel cooler than regular jeans,” said Lizzie Jagger in a film to promote the style. “After a day wearing them, my legs feel great – they come out feeling more silky than usual.”

They come in three variants: Aloe Vera (that soothes sensitive skin), Olive Extract (which helps keep skin toned and moisturized) and Smooth Legs (that reduces the texture of cellulite). After the oils and botanicals wear off (roughly two weeks after first wear), you can purchase a refresher spray. The pants are being launched on UK-based online retailer Asos, and will be available for £85 (or about $134) starting on January 28th. Asos does deliver to the US.

ManScaping 101: The Selective Hair Trimmer

By David Ponce on 01/17/13 • Leave a comment!

This is a quandary that the more appearance-conscious men among us often face: to keep all body hair on and look like a small gorilla, or shave it all off and look like a pre-pubescent child? This is as polar a topic as the front/rear pocket wallet decision. Or the facial hair decision. Everyone’s got an opinion and few people agree. The Mudage Jolie Body Hair Remover hopes to split the difference and strike a compromise: simply pass it over the hairier parts of your body and it will only remove some hairs, not all. This way, you can have you cake and eat it too. You can keep enough hair to maintain a semblance of masculinity, but remove the excess that makes you look like you stepped out of the Planet of the Apes set.

Unfortunately, this is a Japanese product and is being imported through the always-overpriced JapanTrendShop. So it’ll cost ya $33.

‘Stealth Wear’ is a Statement Against Drones and Intrusive Surveillance Systems

By Hazel Chua on 01/14/13 • Leave a comment!

Cloaking Clothing

In this day and age, people with the right hardware and technology could probably trace your location at any given moment. They could take images of you covertly, and it won’t matter if you’re out on the streets or in the office or in your private bathroom. Drones are everywhere, cameras line most street corners, and communications are easier to intercept now more than ever.

There’s reason for concern, and designer Adam Harvey isn’t afraid to voice out his with his newest collection called ‘Stealth Wear’, which is more of a statement than anything else.
