From Times Online: '...her self-made outfit consisted of an oversized necklace studded with flashing lights and a transparent handbag that doubled up as a television. In fact, the necklace was a digital sign displaying messages that her fans were writing on to her Twitter profile.

Preview: JCDC Versus LEGO


Do you know or recall this?


...or these?


Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (also known as JD/DC), the Moroccan born and French through nobility fashion designer is known for his imaginative designs as presented above... Fancy watching a fashion show with some familiar figures?

This is a
CGI animation of a LEGO fashion show by Fabrice Pathier (Four H) (http://vimeo.com/user546241). The clip features designs by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (http://www.jc-de-castelbajac.com/). You will recognise some of the clothes from his past of the creations (well except you won't find the teddy bear coat...)...and also a familiar face we all know from Vogue!

Featuring: The Tantrum Throwing Alarm Clock...

Imagine you are sleeping soundly...suddenly, right next to you, there's tantrums right next to you...

It's none other than the 'Tantrum Throwing Alarm Clock' by Hammacher Schlemmer... hit the snooze button too many times and you'll get it from this little thing! All you need are hour AA batteries to get it running or just plug it on the socket. Loud and noisy...just the thing we need to quickly get out of bed so that we won't be late for class, work or any appointments...
