Wait, wait, wait. WAIT. Is that girl actually doing her thing on the pooper? [Fashioncopious via BoingBoing]

Over at Instructables, one young visionary has shared his technique for weaving a hoodie from these godly adhesive strips. He says the resulting garment is quite warm and impervious to rain. And, if we might add, it's quite handy if you ever need to half-assedly fix something and you're too lazy to grab a roll of tape. [Instructables]

Less spectacular than the Galaxy Dress, but classier. [Fasioningtech via Bornrich]

The Japan Trend Shop also says the 2mm-thick lenses wouldn't shatter, even if a 500g 1.1-pound shaft of iron is dropped on them from 4 feet. You know, for those times when you escape the clinches of some evil mastermind at the last minute. I guess I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but it still kinda sounds like they're just pulling numbers out of the air.

If you're in the market for a pair of super-rugged glasses, these puppies will only set you back $317. Yikes. [Japan Trend Shop via DVICE]

This gorgeous thing was designed by Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz and they say that it's the "the largest wearable display in the world." I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that I wanted to cry when I read that the dress went straight from the sewing room to the museum mannequin, without ever being worn by a real woman. [Wired]

A lot of this stuff is just playful, so some of the clothes don't need to be too polished—but I love that electronic wallpaper. Down with lightswitches, I say! [Fairytale Fashion]

Yes, the study, published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, suggests that "electromagnetic fields emitted by cell phones may have a harmful effect on bone density." And you've already suffered with the shame that comes from wearing a belt holster for your phone. When will the bad news end? [HealthDay News via Textually]

But we'll admit it—this techno-barbarism is strangely hypnotic. [Soomi Park via fashioningtechnology via Valleywag]

From the Eck-man himself:

These are some teasers of my new watch collection. The range is inspired by Star Wars. A mixture of metals, rubbers and nylons. My amazing partners at Timex- completely rocked these. Yes...they feature "indiglo"...sounds...and other technologies. From Boba to R2...Stormtroopers to Vader...

There's no pricing information at the moment, but the Timex/Ecko mashups will be around this holiday season. You know, so you can buy them and stuff. [Ecko via aBlogtoRead via OhGizmo!]

For those who are having flashbacks to biology class: Yes, a double-helix is actually nature's clever way of squeezing a heck of a lot of genetic information into a tiny coiled pattern. It's somehow almost fitting that the same design would make for efficient clothing storage, too. [Core77]

When it hits streets in Asia around the end of October the kit will include a special back battery cover with RAOUL signature stripes, a leather pouch and leather dangler. Unfortunately for cows, the whole package is sold in a big leather bound box, all for about $590.

Because the phone is only being released in Singapore, you might as just wait for the inevitable knockoff and save yourself hundreds of dollars. Still want one? Head to Asia and snatch up one of the 1,000 going on sale after October 29. [GSM Arena]

The Master Chief hoodie is Ecko's latest geeksploitation jacket. It's $88 and vaguely resembles Spartan power armor, in a nylon and stickers kind of way. But if you aren't diving through the vacuum of space through a planet's atmosphere to land without a parachute or whatever, then this hoodie will serve you just fine. All Master Chief ever wanted, really, was to feel the warm embrace of semi-permeable textiles. [Ecko via technabob via DVICE]

Loaded with a mysterious, unnamed glowing substance (one can only assume hordes of ground-up lightning bugs), the shoes leave a simple footprint trail that can be tracked in case of sudden panic. (We're assuming this goop would be more sticky than slippery, though honestly, neither scenario sounds fantastic.)

Maybe these boots would help firefighters, and maybe they wouldn't (firefighters in the audience, please share your thoughts). But as some sort of child's toy involving special goggles, Nerf darts and booby traps, the glow boots sound like a lot of fun...especially if you can buy em in an men's size 12 and the liquid permanently stains carpets.

If there's an argument to be made, it's one of durability. These vintage Nazi backpacks are rated to last another 50 years (apparently WW2 was meant to go on a long, long time). Retrofitted with solar panels and batteries before being rebranded as KILLA Vintage series #1 bags, I have a feeling that the electronics will fail long before the cloth will wear away.

And while admitting this feels a bit awkward, I'm smitten with the design of the pack itself. It's almost too bad that only 20 bags will be produced yearly for an unspecified price. [Killa via taktomyshirt via therawfeed]

Photoshop Filter Heroes is a ludicrously dorky shirt by Chop Shop. Offered for a mere $20, all of your favorites are here, including the speedy Motion Blur, the rough and tough Mosaic and even the seductive Crystalize.

On an unrelated note, I knew there had to be a purpose for Glowing Edges. Now pardon me while I torrent myself some super powers. [Chop Shop via tcritic]

As you can see, the headset is more earring than funky robotic ear leech, and it actually looks kind of nice in a futuristic fashionista kind of way.

Like a traditional headset, you tap the sensor to answer an incoming call, and talk into the air like a idiot as normal. But you look good, especially if you happen to be a model. [Fandi Meng via Design Blog]

The Centerfold T-Shirt, available soon for $30, displays Miss April in 1/4 splendor—that is, until you undo two buttons to spew forth a tapestry of nudity fit for a king (or just a person with very little taste and/or restraint). Available soon in a limited edition run of just 100 shirts, it's hard to remember the status of fashion before this watershed moment in textiles—admittedly because we hadn't been paying this close of attention. [Owltooth (NSFW) via Fashionably Geek (NSFW)]

It's hard to pick a favorite from the new collection, but the $150 X-Wing fighter jacket is ever so tempting, while the $98 BDSM Vader hoodie is probably a pass. I mean, it's all a pass. I can't actually wear this shit outside! But when I'm referring to window shopping online, I'd go for the X-Wing jacket. [Ecko via CrunchGear]

UPDATE: This shirt indeed appears to be a knockoff of this shirt on threadless. Good eye, commenters, good eye.

Designed and decorated like gigantic toy cartons complete with the extra little flap thing that allows to box to secure itself to a hook (sorry, packaging terminology is not our specialty), they're just retro enough to make you think that you're going to get a real Transformer (but then you just get a stupid pair of shoes that you're just to old to justify ever wearing off of your own property).

Look for the limited edition Soundwave, Megatron and Bumblebee footwear this July for between $100-120—if you're able to score a pair before they head to eBay. [Kix and the City via StreetLevel via walyou]

While most of us dump coffee grounds into the garbage (OK, some of us might use them for compost or fertilizer), eco fashion company Singtex has taken three years to patent a process that converts used coffee grounds into yarn. And this yarn can weave shirts that aren't just Starbucks-approved, but that feature fast-drying, anti-odor properties. (S Cafe shirts look like any typical performance sportswear.)

Now if only they managed to infuse the fabric with a little of the coffee's caffeine we'd be onto something. [Singtex via Taiwan News via Greenlaunches]

So do what we do: Don't workout. Eat terribly. And only copulate with partners who promise to either ignore Cheetos-induced stretch marks or allow you to wear your RIPT FUSION t-shirt in a jacuzzi.

What's a RIPT FUSION shirt? Well it's "a classic men's undershirt injected with steroids," of course. For just $58, it'll add pecs and abs all while sucking in the flabby parts. But even more critical to society, it'll put geeks on the same playing field as jocks, the lazy on the same playing field as the obnoxiously active.

Even if the Ript Fusion is too gimmicky to make you look good, it could eventually make muscles look bad. And in the long run, that's really just as beneficial. [RIPT via Super Punch]

The 2UNFOLD laptop works as an urban briefcase, shoulder bag, safecase, rucksack, leather courier, canvas courier (it's reversible!), leather clutch or canvas clutch. No, I don't know what all those variations mean either, but the link at the end of this post contains handy photographs.

In vertical modes, the 2UNFOLD holds laptops up to 17 inches. In horizontal modes, it's suited for 13-inch notebooks. But either way, it makes for a zippy, pockety, and stylish bag that's a bit too beautiful for us to toss haphazardly onto the airport floor. $483.

(Sorry if that price part stings a bit.) [2UNFOLD via bbGadgets]

Well, it's intended to use Bluetooth, if someone ever makes it—for now, it's just a concept. A strange one. From the designer:

When you're in a pub or a bar, you can never, ever hear your phone!

So if you wear this dress, which has light-up scales on one shoulder, onlookers can warn you that your phone is probably ringing if your surrounding are too noisy. Sort of like...a vibrate mode?

Yes, but with fashion, and Maria Sharapova. Besides, I'm guessing her PR handlers almost certainly wouldn't have allowed her to promote any kind of vibrating product, just to be safe. [Reuters—Photo by Getty]

Hero Vests, $20, capture the essence of Hollywood's most memorable badasses—Bruce Lee's claw marks from "Enter the Dragon", Bruce Willis' NYPD getup from "Die Hard", and Sylvester Stallone's infinite bullet sash from "First Blood".

We're a little disappointed that no one has produced a matching set of John McClane broken glass shoes or a complimentary "Now I have a machine gun. Ho-Ho-Ho" sweater. I guess we'll just have to wait for next season's fashions before wiping out terrorism once and for all. [Red5 via FashionablyGeek]

The Diesel DZ4160 "Freak of Nature" watch combines a steel-strapped, oval case watch with a leather-strapped, square case watch. The result is a metal/animal skin hybrid that's not quite as stylish as either elite substance is on its own. Then again, Frankenstein's monster was no looker, except maybe when he starred in Raging Bull. [Watchismo via boingboing]

We're not saying that we enjoy dressing up in women's clothing when no one's around. We're just saying that, when we're talking about garments woven from fiber optic cables, a simple dress transcends the artificial social norms of male or female attire. It becomes something greater, something OK for a typical man's man to don during Mardi Gras, Carnival, or hell, any old weekend on the couch watching sports while throwing back some brewskies.

Plus, the LumiTop Sophia costs over $2000. And if you have that much cash to throw around on one item of clothing in this economy, chances are, everyone will be kissing your butt for a job, not questioning your techno-effeminate taste in fashion. [LumiGram via 7Gadgets]
