Fashion In a Stab Prone Society

Stabbing

Long gone is the era when your chances of getting stabbed only increased by the total amount of time you spent in dark, seedy alleyways. Nowadays it seems that you are equally prone to getting shanked on your way to Mr. Whithers 7th Period science class. Luckily technology has come to the rescue, again, and has posed a brillant solution.

No, it’s not that we are going to be kinder and gentler society….it’s Kevlar laced clothing. I know you might be weighing the options of giving up your favorite hoodie for some protection, but thanks to Bladerunner Armored Clothing - you just don’t have to! Check out their line of armored clothes before it’s too late.

Browser Geek T-Shirt Wars!

Firefox Girl

What point is there in a t-shirt if it doesn't make some kind of humorous statement about your geekish devotion to one browser or another?

But you'd be wrong if you thought that every browser-loving nerd was on the same side– it's time to get with the etiquette of the tribal browser wars that take place on geek's chests worldwide.

1.The 'Defiantly Pro-Mac' T-Shirt Very common in geek circles… Pro-Mac'ers will enjoy smugly reeling off statistics at you about how superior Apple and Safari are over all else. Avoid conversations of this kind at all costs, and NEVER utter the word 'Windows'. (You are permitted, however, to rub their nose in the failure of Vista).

2.The 'I Really Hate IE / Pro-Firefox' T-Shirt… Common in Windows users who think Macs are overpriced… Some pro-Firefox t-shirt wearers are loud and obnoxious, but remember an 'I Hate IE' t-shirt might just save you a beating from a crazed group of Mac users.

3.The 'I Only Use Linux' T-Shirt Get instant geek-cred with a Linux t-shirt… this works because it suggests that you actually know how to code and program, and are therefore truly a geek. Can be rare in today's climate of mainstream geek chic.

Louis Vuitton Commercial vs. Abercrombie

The first Louis Vuitton commercial is now airing, but it feels more like a Mastercard or Retirement Planning commercial than a clothing retailer.  But the colors, images, and music really caught and captured my attention. At the same time, the only other company that I can think of that shows less of its' clothing in advertising is Abercrombie and Fitch.

The Devil Wears Old Navy

 

It's the hottest marketing term in consumerism today as every industry is going "green" - from automobiles to household cleaning products. So of course clothing and fashion markets are bound to follow suit. Several events such as Seattle's Green Fashion Week are springing up all over the country to promote new lines of conscious wears.

These events stand up against synthetic fibers and labor intensive sweat shops. But they fail to address the real problem in sustainable attire, and that is disposable clothing. I consider disposable clothing anything that you would rather throw away then repair, donate, or use as a hand me down.  The piles of these disposable clothes not only cause problems in landfills when they reach the end of their useful lives, but created harmful carbon emissions during their factory incubated production.

Retailers that sell these disposable clothes such as Old Navy, Wal Mart and Target are just simply reseting all the carbon offsetting that their consumers are dedicated too.  Cheap t-shirts that cost less than a cup of coffee and muffin are bound to be worn several times and then tossed in the trash.  $20 cargo pants will be discarded as soon as the fashion trends change towards the next best thing.

The key to sustaining a plan for green clothing is two-fold. First, insist on purchasing good quality durable clothes that will last, and donate them to others when you are ready to move one. Secondly, find alternative uses for clothing that will offset other disposable industries, such as making your own Swiffer Cleaning Pads.

Geek Girls are Sexy

For decades, scantily clad female models have been used in promotional materials for Hot Rod carsGGRS and their associated parts and tools.  In the land of tech, we see these same models posing with a new CPU or hosting advertisement in the back of a trade mag.  But we also come across actual classy, sexy women that are part of the tech movement, not just professional models.

One of the biggest repositories for these tech vixens is over at the Geek Girls are Sexy Photo Group on Flickr.  Composed of over 8,900 images, the set will satisfy anyones taste for the girls of geekdom.  You do need to have your own Flickr account and be signed in to view the photos.


Although you can comment on the Flickr photos, there is really no way to rank them.  And just where would we be without a Digg.com type of social interface to show your support? Luckily, Dig a Tech Girl comes in to fill the void.  Digatechgirl.com allows users to submit their favorite tech evangelists, 'digg' her up or down, and provide their very own comments.  Of course, yours truly could always use your support!

Gamer girls are sexy too. Gaming doesn't have to be about 30 guys at a LAN Party dreaming of challenging that super cutie from fourth period to a game of Final Conquest when the Fragdolls are involved.

Now, this next site is where the traditional feminists might get a bit queasy.  However, knowing ones IP address is essential in setting up networks and troubleshooting.  You could use boring old 'ipconfig' command, OR, you could go to MoanMyIP.com and find out those delicious little digits.  Listen closely as each numeral of your IP address is read aloud by a very talented voice over actress, just keep in mind that some folks may find this very NSFW.
