Hi-Tech Shoes For Ladies Have Heel Height Extenders

Thankfully just a concept for now, the Goodie 2 Shoe is an idea in function, and definitely not in form. They're ugly, sure, but they have a neat trick: the heel is adjustable with magnets and hidden hinges, so a 1.5-inch heel suitable for work gets extended to a come-hither 3.5-inch for going out. Other parts can be customized, much like the latest Sidekick. Personally, we'd be confused if we saw an attractive lady in these shoes. It shows she's got a geek's mind, but also a geek's taste, which is not always what we're looking for. Still, we hope these appear on Lady Robocop in the 2010 remake. [Crave]

Japanese DVD Program Teaches Confidence By Staring At Women For 96 Minutes

Continuing our weirdness from Japan theme, a company called Avex has just released a DVD that teaches men to be more confident by staring at 50 different women for an hour and a half. Most Japanese men do this already, but instead of the women being in various states of undress, these women are just plain staring back at you, right in the eye, in a sort of glowering manner.

Just Wanna Do Something Special, For the Laydeez of Computex

Dilemma of the day: Blam has been asking us to keep an eye on the tone of the site recently, saying that we need to be more highbrow. However, there doesn't seem to be much happening in mundo gadgeto. Although there is this delightful gallery of booth babes at Computex. So, to keep you guys happy, and to keep Blam happy, please enjoy my Chaucer-esque homage to the ladies.

Peeandgo, The Lady Urinal with a Splash of Gold

You may be forgiven for thinking it's toilet week here on Giz, but how could we not show you this? The Peeandgo, designed by Chen-Karlsson takes its inspiration from traditional squat urinals in Asia and the Middle East, and I'm guessing its *ahem* provocative shape is designed to stop splashback. There's no info on pricing, or indeed on whether that's real gold, so it looks like a design prototype. It's nice to see a rethink, and a bit of luxury devoted to the oft-ignored porcelain things in the bathroom, but, ladies of Giz, do you think this design is actually convenient nowadays?

Crossing Guards Become Big Brothers

If you wanted a sure sign that the Orwell-ization of Great Britain is underway, then look no further than this. Lollipop ladies, those kindly old women who man the main roads next to school, similar to the US crossing guard, have been issued with video cameras to record lollipop rage—as school-side road rage is known.

Italian Perv Professor Claims Ultrasound Can Hunt Out the G-Spot

A professor from the University of L'Aquila in Italy says has discovered a clue which may point the way to the fabled G-Spot—or at least prove that some lucky ladies have it, while others don't. Emmanuele Janini's findings (he scanned 20 women, 11 who experienced vaginal orgasms and nine who didn't, with a vaginal ultrasound) have set off a raging debate inside the wonderful world of lady-pleasure.

Orgasmatron Delivers Instant Orgasms at the Touch of a Button

While many misguided designers think that creating gadgets for women involves merely making a phone pink or giving it a makeup mirror, Suart Meloy knows what ladies are really looking for: orgasms at the push of a button. And that's just what his Orgasmatron does. More »

Giz Salutes the Non-Booth-Babe Babes of CES

Everybody always talks about the booth babes at CES: models hired to draw nerds in with skimpy outfits and heads full of air. But who cares about them? If you want to see girls in skimpy outfits, there are plenty of places other than CES to find them. We're more into the non-booth-babe babes of CES, the women who are here who actually know about technology and are here to, you know, work. They're the beautiful women of PR and tech journalism who are a whole lot more than just a pretty face, and we'd take them over some bikini-clad airhead any day of the week. Videographer Richard Blakeley and noted letch Nick McGlynn went out and snapped some pics of some of the real babes of CES.

Guitar-Activated Vibrator Will Get Your Girlfriend to Listen to You Practice Scales


We all know that musicians have an easier time picking up the ladies than mere mortals. Something about being artistic, talented people that have the confidence to put themselves out there on stage rather than curmudgeony shut-ins who only express strong opinions when behind the protective wall of a keyboard, I don't know. In any case, this guitar-activated vibrator will only enhance their reputation as sexual dynamos. Simply plug the guitar into the contraption, and then whenever it's strummed the vibrator vibrates. I'm sure many ladies would agree that it's the only way Dave Matthew's catalog is made bearable. [NotCot.org via Boing Boing Gadgets]

Ikan Promises Ukan Shop From Home

Ikan's how people have been expecting to shop from home "in the future" pretty much forever. You scan the barcode of your old peanut butter jar at the Wi-Fi-connected terminal and it gets added to your online shopping cart. From there, you can have it delivered by your "preferred retailer," pick it up all ready to go or simply print out the list, making it an overblown grocery list organizer. More »

Best Buy and Liz Claiborne Hooking Up to Make Electronics Accessories for the Girls

Liz Claiborne's jumping into bed with Best Buy to design a collection of "electronics accessories for women." Since they're for women, naturally the entire collection is composed of bags and totes for things like laptops, cameras and MP3 players. We're going to go out on a hunch and guess there's going to be a fair amount of pink involved, since the only electronics accessories women need apparently are small, pink bags to carry their small, pink electronics. Progress for women, progress for technology. Thanks, Best Buy. [Yahoo!/Reuters]

Apple Command Key Ring: Totally Geeky, Not at All Classy

This ring is another fashionable addition to the fabbed-from-Apple-notebooks line of geek jewelry—if you're around six years old. On the other hand, even a six year old can afford it, since it only costs $4. [Etsy via Shiny Shiny]

Tampon Pan Flute Will Make You Musical, Awkward

You like crafts, don't you? Of course you do. Well, get ready for a fun and educational craft project, my friends. First, get some tampons. Got 'em? OK, now make a flute out of the applicators. Done? Great, now go get yourself forcibly removed from marching band auditions. As the instructional website says, "the hills are alive with the sound of tampons!" Oh, and did I mention there's a video of someone playing "Ode to Joy" on one of these? Because there is. More »

PowerBook Earrings Are Totally Geeky But Totally Classy, Too

What to do with an old PowerBook when you replace it with a shiny new Santa Rosa MacBook Pro? Make jewelry out of the power buttons, of course. While these are of the dangly, girly variety, they would make a pretty killer pair of gauges, too. [Flickr via MAKE]

Introducing Jezebel, Gawker's Lady Blog

Since most of our staff is unable to speak of females without demeaning them to the extent of jail time, I will tackle this. Today Gawker Media is launching Jezebel. It is described as "celebrity, sex, fashion, without airbrushing," and it seems the ladies running the blog definitely don't need airbrushing. Damnit, there I went. Regardless, check it out. More »
