This is, reportedly, the world’s only pink Segway. It was made to be a charity auction item and bidding was to start at $7500 (a basic Segway starts around $5100). I have no idea if it ever sold; it was to benefit the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, a research and support organization. […]

In 2002, the Japanese company Takara released the Bow-Lingual. Reportedly, this device could tell you if your dog was happy, sad, frustrated, on-guard, assertive, or needy - all based on its bark. In 2003, the company followed up the Bowlingual’s success with the Meowlingual, designed to tell you how your cat was […]

This is not a gun. It is a hair dryer. Yes, that’s right, a hair dryer. For only $35, you can get the Western Dryer from…Japan, of course. This is not a good idea, in my opinion. If you live anywhere but Japan, it has to get through customs, […]

Not to obsess too much over Torrid, but I want to point out that they’re on the breast cancer awareness month bandwagon. This cute little change purse will hold some coins plus maybe a chapstick, and not much else! It’s perfect for the aforementioned skull purse

I hate to say it, but it looks to me like this is a useless pink kit. I don’t know what possessed the pink toolbox people to come up with this, but it really doesn’t belong in a “kit” at all. The Pink PC Kit contains:
A mousepad
A wireless mouse (Bluetooth)
A USB receiver […]

It’s a, uh, chair. And you wear it. Not carry it around like those little combination cane/seat devices, you wear it. There are some distinct disadvantages to this, the least of which is that you look like a dork. According to the pictures, you can only sit on the floor […]

Most of the places where I saw this Juicy Couture product mentioned expressed surprise that it was called a “survival” kit, but didn’t come with a knife, matches, etc. But I ask you: what kind of camp does the typical Juicy Couture customer go to? That’s right, Idol Camp. And what […]

I’ve collected some interesting Hello Kitty items recently, so here’s a post to make sure all of them get mentioned. First up is the anti-static keychain from Brando. As near as I can tell, this thing is exclusively for discharging static from metal objects so you don’t get zapped. I actually […]

It’s a grill. It’s a pig. What? Yup, it’s a barbecue grill shaped like a giant pig. Traeger, a grill company, has come out with the BBQ Pig for $1600. It’s obviously a girl pig - you can tell from the eyelashes and the teats. It’s on casters, […]
