Reebok goes the way of Dov Charney...

I keep pondering who the advertisers are trying to target here. Gratuitous boobs shot say men. Sneaker says women. I'm lost. Are women supposed to want men to be checking out their butt instead of their boobs? Even leery, drooling camera men? Is this supposed to be empowering? My head hurts.

Google, what should women do?

I have yet to get as intimate about my visits from Aunt Flow on twitter. Though I may have ranted about the horridness of my crampy state of being once or twice. To each his own. At least it's funnier then I'm eating a muffin.

Battle of the Gendered Brains

The Trivial Pursuit experiment site lets males and females face off for ultimate brain power supremacy. Or at least ultimate trivia knowledge supremacy. Ladies let's up the scores here.

Advertising for love in the 19th century

Some of these old school missed connections seem a wee bit stalkery and yet somehow they seem comparatively msf Kissing to Kink 45. See more vintage ads here.

After the fall out over the "Amp up and score" app by Pepsi you might think seducing a suicide girl could be dangerous territory. Actually I think this app will be quite popular. True, it seems as if the premise is the same, but the difference is in the packaging.

Here's the idea:

"Meet the sexy Zoli Suicide in a comic book shop and—if you make the right choices—you will get a sexy, 17+ make-out session with her (it’s not that racy, but it’s cute). Make the wrong choices and get shot down by a SuicideGirl in 10 different humiliating ways!"

In this game, suicide girls aren't victims to your app induced seduction skills, instead the pseudo "hot"girl has the power to reject your attempts and even humiliate you. The game plays with the idea of the stereotypical punk girl without stereotyping them. In essence, the difference is between content from people who know and content from people who to think they know.

Adorn yourself in vadge

I'm usually for female empowerment wear. Supposedly each piece of jewelry is an original hand sculpted in the image of the owner to remind her that regardless of what the world and people may tell her: she is beautiful.

I get the premise. But there's something just disturbing about wearing a replica of your nether regions around your neck. Just so you know, I share this sentiment about penis necklaces. I'm not anti vagina as much as I am anti-disembelowed vagina. For some reason, I just don't want to see private parts make their way up fashion food chain. That is all.

smart design for changing times

Every once in awhile fashion serves a utilitarian purpose. In this design, the form follows function. The expandable maternity dress by marisol rodriquez is wearable with baby bump, without baby bump and during everything in between. Clever stuff.

A year in self-made shoes

Just came upon Makeshift on PSFK, artist Natalie Purschwitz had decided to make her entire wardrobe for a year including shoes and bras, in order to investigate the relationship between making clothing and living. How amazing would this be a project runway challenge?
