Awaseba : The Virtual Fitting Room
Online shoppers have been waiting for this: a software application that allows users to virtually try-on clothing and accessories on their personal computer. Now Avielon Co. is debuting one, called Awaseba.
The product is being marketed to online retailers, who can then feature the Awaseba service on their sites. A one-year rental fee for the program costs ¥630,000 (about $6,000).
In exchange, the service is free for the online shoppers, who create an account with an email address and password login. First-time users simply upload a photo of themselves onto the Awaseba server that will function as their virtual self inside the virtual fitting room.
It is inevitable that with all the online shopping going on today and the predicted growth of online sales in the future, many softwares/programs will be developed to create a more hands on/ interactive ways to shop. I read about Awaseba via the Killian Nakamura Blog, where I got sometimes to stay in tune with trends in Japan. This program does not sound phenomenal but it will definitely provoke some programmers to creat something even more clever.

Chanel Phone – prototype
- Sorry to post this news a little bit late, but we were in Vegas with our Showroom… So here is the prototype of the Chanel Phone which I find to be beautiful. At this point it is just a design, but its definitely an accessory that all the fashionistas will want to have.
Marijuana Vending Machine, Los Angeles
The Posso’s tipped me off to L.A. City Zine’s article, ‘The World’s First Weed ATM at Your Service”. Unbelievable! If that’s not a boobie trap than I don’t know what to call it. The world’s first marijuana vending machine is to launch on Monday, January 28th 2008, in our city of L.A. , just on the corner of Melrose and Western. All you have to do is have a club card and leave your fingerprint to the D.E.A.
Oh and there is one restriction, you can only buy one ounce a week, so if you truly need it, you’ re in trouble.

Apple is hitting hard again ! If you are fans of Apple you probably know already, but the New MacBook Air is a”bijoux”, thinest notebook on the market with a 0.16-0.76 inch (0.4-1.94 cm) and a weight of only 3.0 pounds (1.36 kg) ! Only bad point is the dvd is not incorporate on it, they have it in external ( you have to buy it
) but you still will be able to read Dvd, software and CDs with the new option they call ” Remote Disc ” which mean that you can access remotesly any dvd/cd reader from ANY computer !! First price starting at $1799, available in 2 weeks…
Mac Book touch screen wtf !!
I Sumbled upon this really good visualization of a possible MacBook Touch, at least the way I imagined it to be. A bit of the new iMac mixed with the iPhone and there you go. Would suit me just fine ![]()
Bluetooth and Usb Technology
I love the new product they introduced on Thinkgeek
The BluAlert bracelet uses Bluetooth technology to buzz discretely on your wrist when your phone rings. Even in the loudest room, or the most boisterous dance-floor, you won’t miss it when BlueAlert goes off. Even better, BluAlert acts like a security device! Once paired with your phone, if it should suddenly find itself more than 5 meters away, BlueAlert buzzes. Not only will you never miss a call, you’ll never lose your phone.

This Palm Beach, Florida home theater was named the best theme theater installation at DECIA 2007. features “motion-activated air-lock doors with series sound effects, and a “Red Alert” button on the Crestron TPMC-10 controller to turn all of the LEDs bright red and flashing. The system also features “one of the largest Kaleidescape hard-drive based storage systems” ever created, amassing eight servers with 3,816 DVDs.”
Thanks Peter Sciretta for the story!

Bag, Borrow, or Steal
Vintage Chanel Quilted Backpack
YSL Black Faubourg Drawstring Tote
My Favorite: The Fendi B. Bag
As much as we want ( some may say need) those shoes or purses, the reality is that for some of us we can’t always have every fashion accessory we may think we need. The clever people at Bag Borrow or Steal found a way to give people the opportunity to own/borrow these items!
The monthly membership can be as low as $5/year and you can pretty much borrow anything for as long as you want. You can also borrow items as a guest, but it’s definitely cheaper to register as a member. Each item is priced differently though. The red vintage Chanel purse shown above can be borrowed at $289/week or $850 a month. Or the Fendi purse ( which I personally love even more in blue patent leather) goes for $80/week or $235/month. Sometimes, if you develop a relationship with your item and just cannot give it up, you have the option of “stealing,” which really means you get to buy it for a negotiated price.
Dollface, Expressing the Futility of Vanity.
The detail and expression in Andy Huang’s Dollface animation is done amazingly. The subtle details embellish the angst of achieving aesthetic perfection in a robotic following of mainstream media.Andy’s works have also been displayed around the world including the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art. We look forward to his future projects.
Michel Gondry Does RAZR 2 Commercial
Charming, theatrical, eccentric…Michel Gondry’s spot for the RAZR 2 is delightful. Earlier in 2007, Motorola had Gondry create a commercial for the phone. Unfortunately it was never aired (probably because it was too cool). The commercial is still very accessible in a Target commercial type of way, but you can see Gondry’s stylish visionary directive.
I kinda feel like the actress is going to bust out singing Human Behavior.
Thierry Mugler : 2007
“The prophet of Futurism” , as he has been referred to, Thierry Mugler is an instinctive designer who never looks for inspiration. According to Thierry Mugler, “intellect is the servant of the spirit.”
He strongly feels that his clothing is modernistic and not futuristic. Clothes of today should have nothing to do with the past. They should create elegance with simple form and structure and add defined shape to the body, volume, form and simplicity.

Thompson Hotel Beverly Hills Scheduled to Open this Month

“Beverly Hills is suffering under the tyranny of beige,” he jokes, before adding more seriously: “The fact that Beverly Hills has no lifestyle hotel [in the area] interested me. This area needs a tremendous injection of adrenaline,” said Jason Pomeranc when speaking about Beverly Hills and his next hotel project. Pomeranc co-owner of Thompson Hotel Group, one of the sexiest collections of Hotels. Scheduled to open this month in LA is Thompson Beverly Hills. The Hotel is to replace what is now the Beverly Pavilion Hotel and bring an whole new vibe.

The Next Generation of Legos

Designer Jin Woo Han’s idea was to recreate autonomous interactivity between people and demonstrated this in the form of electric legos. The main circuit board performs two functions – to build upon the notch and to conduct electricity. The possibilities are endless. In this Simpsons’ example done by the artist, Marge and Homer will begin talking to each other. When you add Bart to the mix, he will be recognized and the conversation will change. If there is a t.v. in the setting, the toys will comment on what is showing.
I love the eyes on the Simpson’s lego pieces!
