This is Steve Jobs’ wardrobe evolution since 1998, the year he returned to command Apple as interim CEO. You gotta admire a man who is loyal to his style no matter what.

Barbarian beefcake fashions, from Conan to John Carter

With a remake of Conan the Barbarian coming out this Friday, it’s time to contemplate the awesomeness of sword and sandal movies.

Nothing says “sword and sandal”…

I Hope Temporary Teeth Tattoos Never Become Popular in the U.S.

Trend hunters in Japan say the island nation’s latest fad is for people to stick temporary tattoos to their teeth. If these pics are any indication, it looks as if someone’s teeth are falling apart.

Microsoft’s Twitter Dress Is Way More Appealing Than it Should Be

We’ve had meat dresses, bubble dresses, cocktail-serving dresses; so really, what’s so crazy about Microsoft making a wearable, paper Twitter dress? It actually looks pretty good—sort of like a tissue paper laser fairy. http://gizmodo.com/5803717/an-oxygen-bubble-dress-for-those-who-crave-clean-air-and-infinite-attention The dress uses a “corset keyboard” to project tweets onto the transparent white skirt so everyone can read them.

Neo-Nazis in Germany were given free T-shirts at a recent right-wing extremist rock concert. The black shirt, complete with skulls and bones, said “Hardcore Rebels: National and Free”.

Looks Like Batman Hired Puma to Make Him Some Sneakers

Apparently Bruce Wayne needed some shoes to go with his business-casual wardrobe. But when your business is being Batman, even “casual” has to be intense. Okay, so these aren’t actually a prop from The Dark Knight Rises or anything like that. They’re actually a part of Puma Creative Director Hussein Chalayan’s upcoming “Urban Swift” fall…

Fierce, fashionable Vikings filed their teeth and ironed their clothes

A mysterious cache of dozens of humans skulls discovered earlier this year in Dorset, England belonged to Viking raiders.
