SUB-ZERO NINJA

When the temps dip below freezing and you need to venture outside, the first thought is protection. Layering is of course a good idea, but to take things to the next level, you might want to invest in this: the Cold Avenger Expedition Balaclava. Perfect for shredding the slopes on a frigid morning, or taking the dog out for a romp in the snow. It provides about as much warmth as if you were sitting on the hearth, directly in front of the fireplace, not to mention you look like a bad ass samurai.  The Darth-Vader-style breathing apparatus is made of medical grader plastic and warms incoming air... Perfect for when you are dog sledding through the Alaskan wilderness. This balaclava will keep you feeling hot and toasty, even if your nuts are not!  Kick ass reflective goggles not included.

WARM YOUR BUNS!

Directions: Pre-heat bus stop to 180 degrees Celsius & bake for 15-20 minutes. 

Don't ya just love public transportation? Especially when waiting in the sub-zero conditions, with a nasty north wind freezing your eyelids shut?! Well, our clever friends at Caribou Coffee in Minneapolis, Minnesota have created the warm and toasty atmosphere inside the frigid public transit shelters throughout the metro area. These shelters are equipped with genuine heaters and highlight the 'Hot n' Wholesome goodness' one expects to receive at Caribou Coffee. Did we mention that they serve a truly potent cup o' Java? But when temps dip, stay away from the iced coffee. 

LOVE ME TENDER

Agent Provocateur reminds you that Valentine's Day is fast approaching!

Model Rosie Huntington reminds you gentlemen... Don't forget Valentine's Day!

What will you get for your special something this Valentine's Day? Agent Provocateur has some revealing ideas! The short film, 'Love me Tender," written and directed by our friend Greg Williams stars model Rosie Huntington and reminds men everywhere that work does not always come first. This campaign was released last year, but it's so hot we thought it was worthy bringing back into the spotlight... What do men want for Valentine's Day?

THE WAY MAN WAS INTENDED TO LIVE

TWO STEP

We love Dave Matthews and the music he and his mates create, but John Varvatos gives us lukewarm feelings. The two teamed up with Dave being the new face of the Varvatos Spring 2011 ad campaign. There is also an accompanying video you can check out here. Frankly speaking it's a little nuts, and semi-disturbing in a Nine Inch Nails sorta way. The cymbals between the knees make him resemble Forrest Gump when he walks. Honestly, the recently discovered homeless man with the golden voice, Ted Williams, would have been a much better fit for this campaign. Give the monkey a bowl of pistachios and be done with it... "Crash Into Me" ... Looking forward to hearing your responses.

VERSACE UNIQUE

The newly released Versace Unique.

A full assortment of colors are available.

Chances are this is Allegra Versace's color choice, wait lets give her a call.

Just when you thought you couldn't see another 'fashion' phone, Versace launched the Unique. A superior mobile device that far surpasses any other fashion phone that has previously hit the market. You know the ones we are referring to, (those other Italian designers not named Versace). This collaboration between LG and Modelabs of France is hand-crafted with elegant luxury in mind, ahem, move over Vertu. One great feature worth noting is the 'scratch-proof' sapphire crystal touchscreen. Perhaps this phone should have been made 'bullet-proof' ... now that would impress. There's plenty other features too. Oh wait, do you like my Versace bag? How bout my purse? Shoes, also Versace? OMG and my phone... you got it,  Versace (hand clapping and giggles!) There's plenty of sick features on this gadget, including the price. (over US$8,500).  It's time to take a walk down Via Gesu in Milano and whip mine out...
