The Zelda Corset offers a bit of geeky sex appeal

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Not all geek girls like to show their geeky colors by wearing all sorts of gaming and tech inspired fashion, however, it is fun from time to time. This Zelda corset is definitely one way to show your pride in one of the classic games we all know and love.

At one point I vaguely recall coming across a Mario version of this corset, however, it seems they are no longer selling it. The vendor on Etsy is selling a few classic cartoon inspired ones instead, if this Zelda one doesn’t suit you. One of which being Rainbow Brite, they also feature a classic Ninja Turtles dress. I currently own three different Ninja Turtles t-shirts as well as one of the original action figures, but that dress is a bit over the top, even for me.

The Zelda corset from the looks of the back of it, appears to be more of a cute corset than a functional one. Real corsets are strung slightly differently, so you won’t have to worry about gasping for air the entire day. All of the different corsets are being sold for $99.98.

The Altec Lansing MUZX earphones

Monday, March 31st, 2008

altec lansing earbudsI have from time to time gotten annoyed over technology geared towards women and girls turning out to be pretty, but excessively lacking in the specs department. These earbuds from Altec Lansing is a refreshing change from that issue.

For all those drawn to all that sparkles and shines these cute little earbuds feature enough Swarvoski Crystals to keep anyone satisfied. It also features a snug fit for those more petite girly ears as well as a bit of passive noise reduction.

It has 9mm neodymium drivers and gold-plated plug to give you a nice quality of sound. Altec Lansing is selling them for $59.95, however, Amazon is selling them for a bit cheaper at $29.95.

The Blossom Pendant Lamp

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

blossom pendant lampIf you have a thing for pretty pendant lamps and can’t wait another minute for spring to come, this lamp kills two worms with one bird, that or two stones with one bird. I’m not sure which, I never was that great at throwing around deep and meaningful quotes. This flower lamp not only features a bright and cheerful design, it offers a bit of creative customization as well.

The petals on the flower are bendable, so you can place the flower in any position you like. It also features a low voltage energy saving bulb, making it slightly more eco-responsible. Frankly, if I could afford it I’d add several of these during the dreaded winter months to cheer me up when it’s so dreary outside.

The laser cut petals can be purchased in either red, black or white. The rest of the lamp is made of both acrylic and stainless steel. Unfortunately as with all the pretty lights, this one is slightly expensive, it is being sold for almost $700.

Kensington offers the Contour Balance laptop bags

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Kensington is offering a line just for the women who need to tote about their laptop on a regular basis. Although they don’t offer bright and shining colors, they do offer a slightly more logical design.

Kensington laptop bags for women

One of the bags offered is on wheels and although I really don’t like the idea of rolling my laptop around, I understand the necessity for some. I myself have a bad back and have on occasion not been able to carry my laptop bag. The Contour Balance bags are made to be ergonomic, compact and made from water-resistant fabrics.

They also feature a impact-resistant laptop compartment. The bags come in three different designs, one having the classic shoulder strap design, another a backpack and the third being the handy one that you can wheel about. Prices have not been announced just yet.

Check out these fun Gameboy plush toys I came across in my recent Web travels. Featuring a whimsical, cartoony take on the classic hand-held gaming system, they’re the perfect gift for the Nintendo Fanboy or Fangirl in your life.

Created by Wisconsin crafter KungFuCowgirl, each of the squishy game systems has its own unique personality, thanks to the slight variations in each handmade Gameboy.

They measure in at just a wee-bit bigger than an original Gameboy and come in red, yellow, green, pink or teal. They cost just $14 bucks a piece (so why not buy a bunch?) You can find ‘em over on Etsy.
