Well, actually, that's a lie, but I needed some excuse to publish this, ok?

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

<![CDATA[Duct Tape Hoodie Is Basically Geek Chain Mail...Err, Geekier Chain Mail]]> Duct tape, Man's greatest micro engineering accomplishment. It's strong, waterproof and it glows like some magical metal shark skin alloy. Why aren't we wearing this stuff?

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]

<![CDATA[Wind-Sensitive LED Dandelion Dress Is Made for Pretty Night Fairies]]> I like this dress embroidered with dandelion lights. Called Flare, it was created by designer Stijn Ossevoort. The LED flowers glow up gently when the wind or your breath touches them, causing much swooning and sighing in the process.

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

<![CDATA[Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses]]> These JSDF shades have apparently been endorsed by the Japanese military because they won't fracture even if struck at 106mph by a 6.5mm (0.3-inch) diameter object. Not quite bulletproof, but the picture looks cool.

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]

<![CDATA[Beautiful Dress Made Out Of 24,000 LEDs]]> 24,000 full-color, super-thin LEDs, 4,000 Swarovski crystals, and enough iPod batteries to keep everything glowing for about an hour. This picture doesn't do the Galaxy Dress justice, but the video comes close.

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.

<![CDATA[Vitruvian Voltron]]> If only Leonardo da Vinci had 1980s cartoons as his muse, it would be Voltron representing Man's innate tie to geometry and architecture. Live in that better world by purchasing this $18 t-shirt, or sniffing more Crayola. [ThinkGeek via RedFerret]

<![CDATA[MIT Media Lab: Electronic Wallpaper, Conductive Threads and More]]> Diana Eng, who you might remember as Project Runway's premiere nerd designer, took a look at MIT's Media Lab and found some pretty cool stuff, mostly run off of Arduino microcontrollers. Check it out below.

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]

<![CDATA[Nu Pop Watches Make Being Hip Almost Worth the Inconvenience]]> Ignore the site's lame hip hop and its general theme of trying too hard, because these nu pop watches by designer Pascal Mouawad and musician Jermaine Dupri are pretty snazzy in their own right. $145.

<![CDATA[What Space Invaders Really Look Like (T-Shirt)]]> All these years, we pegged the Space Invaders for grotesque aliens. Really, they're men and women just like us, flying spaceships in a war they neither want nor understand. $18. [Threadless via FashionablyGeek]

<![CDATA[In Addition to Making You Look Like a Douche, Cellphone Holsters May Also Reduce Bone Density]]> Bad news, people who carry their phones on your belts: according to Turkish researchers, you may be at risk for reduced hip bone density.

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]

<![CDATA[LED Eyelashes Are the Next Stage in Woman's Self-Torturing Arms Race]]> Designer Soomi Park is a betrayer of her own sex. She could very well start a trend with these LED eyelashes, forcing women everywhere to painfully affix electrodes to their faces, blinding themselves with each eye-smile. (See the video!):

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

<![CDATA[Ecko Star Wars Watches, If You're Not Fett Up Yet]]> We can only imagine how much money there is to be made on a $100 geek hoodies, which probably why Marc Ecko, teamed with Timex, is looking to release a line of Star Wars watches next.

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!]

<![CDATA[The Shark Still Looks Fake]]> Strike fear into the hearts of men with the courteous Three Dimensions of Terror t-shirt ($10). Its 3D shark is kind enough to wait for its victims to put on glasses before commencing the attack. [Threadless via Super Punch]

<![CDATA[DNA-Inspired Closet Is As Space-Efficient As It's Twisted and Curvy]]> Irina Alexandru's design is more of a coat hanger than a closet, but it's intended to allow for the maximum amount of clothing hangers in the smallest amount of space. I just plain like the curvy double helix design.

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]

<![CDATA[Limited Edition Nokia N97 Mini RAOUL Goes Well With Rich Mahogany]]> This limited edition Nokia N97 mini comes with lots of leather and the stamp of approval from fashion plate RAOUL. Also, leather—did I mention that yet?

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]

<![CDATA[T-Shirt States the Painfully Obvious]]> We cannot defeat the aliens without robots, but robots will eventually turn on us. It's a paradox, friends. Enjoy that burn in your head; it's called "thinking" (though "wasting time" is also applicable here). $40. [Cuppa via FashionablyGeek]
