Wanting:

So I’m still using the white earbuds that came with my iSomething or the other. These Vivienne Tam “Butterfly Lovers” earbuds — noise-canceling, built-in mic’ing, beautiful — could change that…



Pong Radiation-Reducing iPhone 4 Case by Case-Mate

Using:

pong radiation reducing iphone 4 case by case mate Pong Radiation Reducing iPhone 4 Case by Case MateSo I’m a 20-something chick. And I blog about Italian heels, creaseproof eyeshadow, and rechargeable power nail files for a living.  But I also blog about how to remove spyware from your computer, run Kristopher Dukes, Inc. (my sexual harassment suit against myself has been settled). and tie Hermes scarves around my German Shepherd.

So I’m not as vacuously superficial as you might assume. In fact, I’ve chosen to use Case-Mate’s extremely ugly Pong radiation-reducing iPhone 4 case, which features the only technology proven by FCC-certified labs to reduce cell radiation while keeping your phone’s full signal strength.

You see, I cherish my pretty little brain above anything.

Because without it, I wouldn’t be able to put as much money and time into improving my face…



Mirror Screen Protector + Chrome iPhone 4 Case by Case-Mate

Wanting:

mirror screen protector chrome iphone 4 case by case mate Mirror Screen Protector + Chrome iPhone 4 Case by Case MateA mirror screen protector and chrome iPhone 4 case by Case-Mate? Choice, and a perfect excuse to avoid eye contact with fellow humanity, should I run out of Ayn Rand, Henrik Ibsen, or Edith Wharton ebooks to read on my iPhone.

People who believe smart phones are conduits for frying human connections and amplifying cheap narcissism are luddites I never want to meet with hair half as good as mine…

Zeo SmartWake Alarm

Using:

Zeo SmartWake Alarm Zeo SmartWake AlarmMarilyn wore five drops of Chanel No. 5 to bed, while I sleep in my Marlies Dekkers

And a mask of Retin-A, hydroquinone, and cortisone; manicure mitts; and a Zeo headband.

I first read about Zeo in how-to-hack-your-health guide The 4-Hour Body — Zeo tracks your light, deep, and REM sleep, allowing you to get the most out of your unconscious hours in bed.  If you’re an athlete, knowing how much deep sleep has healed your body means knowing how hard you train the next day.

Since my workout just consists of a bruising game of tug-o-war with an 80-pound puppy, Zeo’s best feature is its SmartWake alarm, which wakes you in your light-sleep window, leaving you less groggy in the a.m.

I just started using Zeo, so I’ll have to let you know if I’m still snorting lines of matcha green tea powder a week from now…

Barely There iPhone 4 Case with Credit Card Slots

Wanting:

Barely There iPhone 4 Case Barely There iPhone 4 Case with Credit Card Slots

I’ve always hated iPhone condoms, and I imagine Jobs Almighty’s intelligent, perfect design makes them sinful. But the iPhone 4 — for which I waited an eternity for in line at Apple’s Soho store — feels too holy to roll around naked in my Hermes Herbag. When the Barely There iPhone 4 case with credit card slots is back in stock, I’m buying one.

Or maybe this is a sign from Steve…



Digitalize Snail Mail with VirtualPostMail.com

Using:

VirtualPostMail.com Digitalize Snail Mail with VirtualPostMail.com

I’ve hunted for a good way digitalize my snail mail for ages. Earth Class Mail is the best known online postal mail service, but last I checked everyone hates Earth Class Mail for its slowness and price. Zumbox wants to effectively give every brick-and-mortar mailbox its own email address, but then your traditional mail problems — receiving junk and having to change your address — just get digitalized.

Virtual Post Mail is the first online postal mail service to make sense. You’re stuck with an address in Walnut, CA — no, I didn’t move north — but you’ll receive your mail fast and securely. You log into VirtualPostMail.com –which vibes like Apple’s Me.com — to see scans of the front and back of your mail. You can then have your mail opened and scanned, forwarded, shredded, or some combination of the three. While using VirtualPostMail, I received a bajillion-page document, and Virtual Post Mail actually called to ask if I wanted it scanned or shipped overnight. (Service? Go fig.) Virtual Post Mail is a perfect way to get the privacy of a PO box with the convenience of email, and convince ex-toyfriends you moved to Walnut.

Where is that city, anyway…



Vivienne Tam “Butterfly Lovers” Netbook

Wanting:

vivienne tam butterfly lovers netbook Vivienne Tam Butterfly Lovers Netbook

I just received Vivienne Tam’s “Butterfly Lovers” netbook (thank you, HP). Vivienne Tam’s latest digital clutch is as light as its butterfly looks but heavy with features, making for the double happiness (双喜) stamped on the keyboard. Glowing in brushed gold, the netbook’s as charming and smart as Ms. Tam, whom I had the luck of latte’ing with months ago.

So how is it I’m left wanting?

I need to Hackintosh it…

USB Travel Shaver

Using:

USB travel shaver USB Travel Shaver I travel with as few things a possible. Before I had my Alstermo Bruk hand-made, hard-case carryon, I managed to stuff stuff for international trips into my laptop bag.

Impressed?

Given that, I usually don’t bother bring a razor, as any decent hotel’ll have one. But this USB travel shaver was just too amusing. The USB-powered shaver lights up bright blue when you plug into into your MacBook…
