Slanket party at my place!

Oh how we laughed at the sky pupa...
Well here comes Slanket!, a wearable blanket with sleeves. And from the looks of this cool crew, every slanket come with a wig or a prop. Presumably they're all taking a break from the wall to wall fucking that goes down at a slanket party. I can't decide which of them I'd prefer to strangle first, unless I could get my hands on the art director.

The Human Pupa

The poshAir sleeping bag is (so they say...) "a breakthrough in inflight comfort. This luxurious cocoon, that's easy to slip on and off, zips you into an extra layer of lightweight warmth. The poshAir features a hood, armholes, inside pocket and two belt loops for your visibly fastened seat belt to slip through." (Wow, tell me more)

PoshAir is a modern, hygienic sleeping accommodation for travel and a delicious way to transform yourself into a complete idiot. Convenient, chic (!?) and comfortable, the poshAir can make you look like an ass in private jets & commercial airplanes, and makes it easier for embarassed friends to toss you from helicopters, yachts, automobiles and trains.

"For a maximized poshAir experience, please remove your shoes before stepping inside. (shoes..? hell just take everything off.) Grey only. (I'd prefer the visibility of bright pink) Buy the XL size so your gal can give you a handjob in relative privacy.
Butterfly wings solds separately.

Just $99 from SkyMall

A World Gone Mad (But Fashionably So)






This fashionable neckwear is made of 100% silk on its outer shell and contains medical filtration fabric, which filters a high percentage of germs, particles, and debris from the air you breathe. Independent lab tests of the 95C product show this material filters 98% of aerosolized droplets containing staphylococci, when particles measure an average of 2.9 microns.

The Non-Expert's Desk: Men's Accessories

All Accessories, All At Once: You've seen this before: the publishing type who wears all his labels at once, plus creams his hair back, checks his watch, and worries about his Audi getting dinged on the street. On the same spectrum, the emo-rock boy who has six pins on his jacket, his hair poofing just so, the right glasses, the right shoulder bag.

If you're one of these, take a weekend at a spiritual retreat. If you see one of these, stand back, especially on a subway platform. Anyone this obsessed is the type of person who will line up for fascists, and you never know what their leader has already told them.

The new Camper site is, aesthetically, a major improvement over their old site. Navigation is (to be kind) a bit convoluted and confusing, but it's the type of site you want to explore, which I think matches with their "The Walking Society" slogan.

Tightie Whites contest in Repuls-o-vision

Dan Savage wrote in his column Savage Love a while back that men in tightie-whities are not sexy. His readers insist otherwise. Now the debate has reached the web with his "My Boyfriend sure Looks Hot in his Tightie Whities" contest.

It's a pretty odd testament to misguided male pride. If you have a strong stomach you can view the results, which seem to suggest
- Men look remarkably unrelaxed in them, and
- Some people don't know what tightie whites are.
- No one looks quite as gross as Jack Black in Orange County.
I can't decide if my fave is the gentleman shown with his dog and a chainsaw, or the guy holding a rooster?

Unplug The Oldies - For Good


Mick, Keith, Bob, Patti... what is this colostomy rock? It's not about rebellion, let alone youth. It's the antithesis of rebellion: it's nostalgia. And nostalgia is the death of rock.

(Rolling Stone put Crosby on its cover yet again that year, not for any musical achievement but for his Frankensteinian love-child arrangement with Melissa Etheridge, an affirmative-action rock mediocrity better known for her lesbianism than for any musical talent.) Didn't any of these people see Spinal Tap?
