The only thing worse than being trapped in a
sleeping bag, is needing to go to the toilet in one. Well cast those
fears aside as the new Selk'bag
is here. This sleeping bag is more like a body bag ( not the corpse
ones ). It's padded and shaped to the human form and allows free
movement both in and out of sleep, where traditional sleeping bags
don't. The various ties and adjustment belts allow for a very snug fir
which keeps the warmth in and gives you further control when moving
about. Selk'bag is padded with a number of layered inserts which
provide maximum comfort when lying on even the hardest surfaces. Best
of all , even the ugliest camper can look positively cute once wrapped
in the Selk'bag. Snug, Smart, freeing! Now selling online by Billy T

IN 2021, YOU'LL GROW A NEW HEART & ENJOY TOTAL RECALL

Imagine being able to instantly recall every
experience you've had, every conversation you've had and every image
you've ever seen. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel but
thanks to senior Microsoft researcher Gordon Bell it may well be
reality in the not too distant future. Bell's project MyLifeBits
endeavors to put all of this information onto a database which will be
searchable on your PC. If that's not eerie enough consider this other
freaky development in science: Glenn Larsen, the chief scientific
officer at Hydra Biosciences in Boston, is working on a regenerative
technique that will actually encourage the body to heal itself. If
Larsen's dream is realized humans will be able to literally grow a new heart after traumatic condition such as a heart attack. by Billy T. via Popular Science

Always wanted a piano but can't play? Add a bit
of drama to your interiors with this quirky design, the concerto table,
a multipurpose dining table built in the shape of a piano. The Concerto Table
is designed to be an integral part of the evening's experience so it
also features a mounted base and speaker system for your iPod. Simply
open the sound lid in the center of the table to reveal two surface
mounted speakers. You can also use this area for storage so the table
doubles nicely as a home office desk. by Billy T

HOT CASTLE PARTIES
|

Inspired by Kubrick's famous ceremony scene of
passion in the movie "Eyes Wide Shut", the Swiss Andrej Lorenc
organizes Castles Events in the same vein. He rents castles and invites
selected members of his club to spend a night of fantasies: garters,
black underwear, wasp-waisted corsets, capes and Venetian masks are
compulsory. Drink Champagne, feast your eyes on skin, dance to the
sounds of well-known dj's, and give in to your erotic--or perhaps
sexual--desires. Sexiness is also a prerequisite. Teased? Basically the
parties are scheduled four times per year, mostly in Switzerland. The
special of this year takes place during a weekend in an original
glamorous Mediaeval Castle in the middle of France in September. For
international guests there is an airport 20 kilometers away from the
Castle. The exact place will only be communicated to exclusive members.
The price varies according to the events. Price fee on this special
event varies between $700 - $1000 for a couple or single men. Single
woman pay $200. For 'High End' Guests, Castle Events provide an
extraordinary comfortable Service Package, which includes your own
Suite in
the Castle - varies 2000 - 5000€. Be aware there are only 20 rooms
available. The address for temptation: www.castleevents.com.. by Yvan Rodic

WHIRLPOOL - pret-a-porter
|

Who needs the dry cleaner when you can own your own pret-a-porter? Made by Whirlpool, pret-a-porter
is a clever new device that de-wrinkles, deodorizes, and gentle dries
your clothes in your home. It's an instant pick me up for your clothes
when they're not dirty, just in desperate need of revitalization after
too many outings in sweaty, smoke filled bars and clubs.
With
the touch of a button odors are removed via a dry steam system. All you
need is a cup of water. The compact little unit is the size of a vacuum
cleaner and is also mobile. To mark the launch Whirlpool commissioned
British designer Antonio Berardi to create a range of one off pieces,
plus a limited edition of leather pret-a-porter cases, which make the
pret-a-porter look more like a very swanky piece of luggage. All
Whirlpool needs now is to throw a party in a sweaty, smoke filled night
club so we've got a good excuse to wheel out the pret-a-porter. It will
be available from Septemeber. by Lisa Evans
