Limbo String- Be The Life of the Party

Monday 28 July 2008 @ 6:00 pm

Your friends will consider you one hell of a popular guy if you tote this around. Not only is it a great ice breaker fore those stiff parties, you’ll also give your new pals a workout.  Fancy that: combining health and socials into the Limbo String!

It’s an-all-in-one device. This geeky gadget does what the limbo bar, the char and even the music player does in a real limbo get together. Push a button and a colored string shoots out while some cheesy, tinny music gets people into the groove. Folks then wiggle and write under the bar. Did the last round get too easy? No problem. There are settings to lower the bar and make things more intense. Just don’t lower it too much that knickers start flashing.

At $40, this cool toy affords you top quality features:

* A compact unit that shoots a cyclical string across the room.
* The string spans 7 feet and is consistently fed through the unit to keep it in the air.
* The string is black light responsive and goes all ‘dayglo’ in the dark..
* Choose to limbo to your own music or opt to use the unit’s tropical tune. Continue Reading »

Review: Belkin 3G iPhone Cases

Tuesday 10 June 2008 @ 6:18 pm

You know you’re anal about your iPhone when you clad it in crystal cases, clothe it in silicon condoms and even swathe in in faux pas Louis Vuitton skin. Now Belkin (maker of famous gadget accessories) jumps into the fray with a really hip leather jacket just for the iPhone.

Starting at $29, the formed leather jackets for the iphone come in a multitude of styles and afford supreme protection. They’re thick enough to withstand a 2 foot drop and prevent scratches from daily use. There’s no visor for though screen , though. You’ll have to obtain one for full protection.

Personally I’d pick the basic black design. It’d go well with my Armani suit and my weekend biker’s garb. What about you fellas? What’s your poison?




How My PC Makes Me High-Really High

Monday 2 June 2008 @ 12:00 am

You all know aromatherapy. With the use of scents you can feel instantly relaxed- or ragingly libidous. Why wait until the spa to get your dose of of the happies? Now your PC can give you that instant high with USB-powered aromatherapy diffusers! It’s great for those places where carpets smell like soggy dogs or your officemate constantly forgets to brush his teeth after an Indian meal.

I gave this little toy a run and found that the scents last a week. After which you can replenish the canister. I’m hoping someone will come up with a hack for this thing so I can inject my own scents with a syringe. Imagine putting in pheromones into this thing. yeah baby- everyone would feel libidous around me! Continue Reading »

Waterproof Fanny Pack – Buying a Suitable Fanny Pack

Monday 18 February 2008 @ 10:32 pm

A waterproof fanny pack can be an indispensable tool for people who enjoy the outdoors especially those who love water sports and related activities. These bags allow the full and comfortable use of the bearer’s two hands because they are usually worn around the waist. Also known as the waist pack, this type of bag is usually made on nylon, PVC, neoprene or any other waterproof material. It can hold small tools and other important items that you can’t leave home without.

For a lot of sports enthusiasts, it’s important to invest in a quality waterproof fanny pack as it is probably one of the most convenient carry-all to date. You can just wear it around your waste and practically forget about it as you go through your day’s work or while on a fishing trip. Some fanny packs are even designed to withstand water pressure making them suitable for scuba divers. These packs are made of durable airtight material with water-resistant zipper closures.

How to Look Like a Model

Saturday 24 November 2007 @ 9:41 am

Chances are 99% of all the photos you have of yourself suck. Well, maybe not suck. Just reek a bit. Maybe the skin’s a tad pale. Or there’s a stray hair going out the nose.

If that sounds like you, you need a bit of photo magic skills so you can doctor the images and make yourself look like a model. Imagine the benefits: your friendster profile gets more hits, your resume gets more calls and you feel better in your driver’s license.

I recently purchased Mark’s 101 Awesome Photo Tips and got my mojos out of it. For $67, I was treated to scores of special effects demoed on video and adroitly explained by an overly enthusiastic guy with lots of hair. I kid you not. In 30minutes, 10 of my stuffy old photos suddenly glowed with life.

Like a pale pic of myself suddenly superimposed on tbe foreground of a Ms. Universe Pageant. But that wasn’t just it: I sported a healthy tan, literally glowed with a dazzling aura and my eyes took on an azure hue.

I literally looked like a model surrounded by delightful dames!

Check out the tutorial. Let me know what you think.




Looking Like a Bum Is Unforgivable!

Tuesday 20 November 2007 @ 9:09 pm

fashionsexy.JPGThat’s what my wife told me.

“You wear a Prada bag, but your shirt screams 80s and your jeans look like they went through a grinder. If you weren’t my husband I’d dump you”

Sigh.

So I began scouring for advice on the web. “Metrosexual tips” she hinted to me as a starting search point in google.

I found a lot and discovered this wasn’t gonna be an easy task. For starters, I didn’t want to look err… queer… or badass. I just wanted to be me.

So wifey directed my browser to some site called Emoda (this isn’t some paid review, k?) where fancy threads were sold, opinions were rife and fashion faux pas were placed out in the daylight.

Instantly I was hooked. Man… not only did Rock and Republic jeans go for less than what Nordstrom charges me, I came across lotsa cool articles that ensure I won’t look like metrosexual road kill.

I’m still browsing the site right now and enjoying every minute of fashion nirvana!




AndroticsDirect.com – Great Products, Lousy Service

Friday 16 November 2007 @ 5:42 pm

After all the glowing reviews, I made a purchase from this pheromone site that promises me feel-good vibes- not just for myself, but also for people around me.

I liked the product when it did arrive. I felt super! It’s literally like Prozac perfume. No matter how stressed I am, wearing this scientific cologne gives me kicks.

The bad side is it took these people almost 2 months to deliver. Now that’s unacceptable. I suggest buying from speedier, more customer-friendly sites, like lovescent.




Ston-O-Max Crap

Thursday 25 October 2007 @ 12:00 am

stonemax.jpg

Yesiree! Here’s anothe fun and dandy little device that promises to shed my marbled fat while I watch TV with a tub of popcorn. Their ad tickled me pink!

By using Ston-O-Max you’ll be able to get the body you’ve always wanted. The Ston-O-Max is the first and only machine that utilizes the patented CBS (Centrifugal Body Stimulation) technology. Its elliptical motion causes muscles to contract and in turn build muscle and break down fat

Sure sure sure. It’s another Osim clone (remember the Uzap endorsed by those oh so sexy chinese girls?). If I wanted the same effect, I may as well pile my girlfriend’s ten vibrators on my stomach and vibrate away.

Last time I used a similar device was two years ago. All I got was a backache.




KnockOffs with Honor

Tuesday 23 October 2007 @ 12:00 am

lv.jpgCan there be a knock off vendor with honor? Hmm… that sounds like an oxymoron.

But truly there is!

My fashionista sister recently stumbled across a site selling imitations of brands without passing them off as originals like 1000s of miscreants out there.

Visit Highreplica. Right on the frontpage, they tell you that their stuff is all imitation. That doesn’t bother me though. Their prices are superb and my sister received an LV that looked just like the real deal she got at the LV store. Down to the date codes!

Now, no one can tell you’re carrying a -ahem – fake.




Zunic System Melted 1 inch of My Bulge- in 1 Hour!

Monday 22 October 2007 @ 12:00 am

I just returned from Australia four hours ago. The place was memorable! Superb beaches, azure skies, delicious women, and Zunic!

Err… what??

My aussie mates took me to a wellness place that offered a system of fat burning. The chided me how lousy my gut looked. It dangled over my $800 Hermes belt like sad blubber. But no sweat they said. For $100, I can burn off an inch with Zunic.

What the hell. With 12 hours before my return flight to CA, why not? And if it works, the $100 wouldn’t have been wasted on a large Dominos pizza that would have swollen my gut further.

The sexy therapist looked like she’s been Zunicing all her life. Not an inch of fat on her body. If I looked 1/10th as good as her, my social life would be glowing better than the dull candle stick it is right now.

So I fell asleep while she got me through the paces.

And I woke up. Man, my gut was red and sore– but… wow! I really did lose a big chunk. Proof? I had to tighten my belt a notch.

Looks like Im definitely coming back for this. Both for the Zunic and the therapist!




The Bag that Turns Heads

Tuesday 25 September 2007 @ 9:22 am

pradabt0567.jpg

Here’s a beauty that’s crept into the arms of many a beautiful lass- yesterday, I saw at least 17 women toting this… errr… tote. And my sister bubbles about seeing it draped on the arms of Silverstone, Jolie and Jessica Alba. Sigh. Do women always have to copy celebrities? Where’s the uniqueness in imitation?

Aanyway, admire all that gold-work and luxurious nylon! Whatever it costs, I’m definitely not going to show this to my wifey or she’ll strangle me till I get her one.

Prada, whatever designers you have in your payroll- double their salary!




Gravity Defying Shoes

Thursday 6 September 2007 @ 4:56 pm

GadgetUniverse proclaims it the most advanced technology in footwear- “The only shoes that make you feel like you are defying gravity. Walk taller and with more confidence than ever! ”

Cool claims! When two friends bought it and then eighteen eventually followed suit, I knew I had to scope it out.

My browser gave me the lowdown:

Scientists investigating shocks absorption for buildings during earthquakes discovered a special polymer that was both light weight and absorbed shock and vibration. This material lead to the revolutionary material used in the Catapult MMXT3 Gravity Defyer Shoe. The researchers and the engineers behind the Gravity Defyer Shoe surprised the entire shoe industry when they launched the first of its kind energy reciprocating shock absorbing sole in a dress shoe nonetheless!

It was scientifically constructed with a hidden 1/8 inch shock under the heal that releases its reciprocating resistance power each time you step. As your weight changes to the balls of your feet, the hidden shock absorber generates upward pressure pushing your body upward. This mechanism gives you the feeling of jumping like a kangaroo (or some say feel like flying) each time you step with the Gravity Defyer Shoe.

Hey, how about that! Shoes with real bonafied shock absorbers that bounce.

grav-defyer-land-pg_03.gifp7185a.jpg

Bill let me try out his Marseilles model shoes – and in the 30 seconds I used it I was a convert. They did bounce. I actually felt like flying- from leather shoes!

Not even the Nike Airmax 360 or the Adidas Bounce KG gave me this much power and comfort.

These are real springs that BOUNCE! And bounce with a BOING!

I kid you not: you’ll bounce faster and higher with these secret agent shoes than Shaq Attack in Air Jordans.

And the comfort. Sublime bliss. Better feeling than memory foam. It’s literally walking on air.

I almost murdered my friend to keep his shoe.




Irwin Naturals Steel Libido

Sunday 2 September 2007 @ 11:24 pm

Sometimes staying till 3am working at my internet empires knocks my libido hard. My girlfriend chastised me: “Marcus, you get turned on by your keyboard, not by the Twins! Let’s talk about this.”

Before it escalated to a full blown relationship disaster, I tried Irwin Naturals Steel Libido on the reco of a friend.

Man. On the first night I used it, our household looked like a quadruple X love den.

I mucho recommend this!




Casio G-Shock GW700A-1V

Monday 27 August 2007 @ 11:49 pm

casiog.jpg

Smiles:
High – bristling with tech, syncs with atomic clock and solar powered. Ditch those batteries!

Grimaces:
Aluminum Bezel scratches from minor bumps.

FULL TAKE
I owned my GW700A for about a week. This baby is loaded with gadgets and more functions than that 200-feature DVD remote control.

The display offers concise data- easier to read than other G-Shocks I looked at. I have found the atomic time setting function to be dead on – to the second – when checked against Time.gov website. If you’re OC, you want this!

It is a hefty watch. At a size larger than average, expect to bump it across doorways and chairs. Strangley, my cat stares at it with lethal eyes. Does it look like a mouse?

The only thing I would change is the metal bezel. Forged from aluminim, this achilles heel dents and scratches easily. Not good.




Versace Dreamer

Monday 27 August 2007 @ 8:53 am

versace.jpg

Pros
The Versace bottle is something you’d show off!

Cons

The hefty smell can drive away the sensitive. How hefty? It will bowl you over even in a smokey bar. That’s how heavy Versace’s punch goes.

Full Review

Versace Dreamer boasts a very strong, intense scent that is appropriate for daytime wear. The scent and quality are good, but not the best.

While strong, the scent quickly fades within the hour- you’ll have to spray yourself over and over throughout the day. That isn’t cool for such an expensive bottle.




Fashionista Los Angeles 2007 Bags Awards

Wednesday 15 August 2007 @ 11:17 pm

My darling cousin presided over the 2007 Fashionista Network, LA Chapter (FNLA) Bags Awards last week. Local community papers wrote it up as ‘a posh affair of decadence’ held at the swanky MoonDragon Club.

At $100 a ticket, I can imagine how much richer the organization is right now. FYI, the FNLA commands 2500 fashion conscious members. So at $100 x 2500, the treasury just witnessed an income of $250,000. Enough to buy out the entire Sak’s inventory for the day!
