Wanting: LaCie Monolithic Hard Drive

Backup, backup, backup. My whole life is in my Macbook, so I back up everything onsite and off. LaCie makes sexy hard drives that sit pretty on your desktop, and I love the matte black of this LaCie Monolithic hard drive…

Using: LaCie Porsche Hard Drive

I’m a sucker for Porsche design. I adore my Carrera’s classic clean lines, and this LaCie Porsche hard drive has the same elegance of economy…

Hating: LaCie Golden Disc Hard Drive

I like the unusual design of this LaCie Golden Disc hard drive, but the waves of mirror gold is a little Lady Gaga for me… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/07/14/sexy-lacie-hard-drives-k-is/feed 0 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/06/23/porsche-lighters-k-is http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/06/23/porsche-lighters-k-is#comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:20:24 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2600

Wanting: Porsche Torch Flame Lighter

I go Gidget for Porsche gadgets, blame my being a Cracker Jap (one-quarter Tokyoite, three-quarters Euro mutt). Porsche design is just so choice: flawless form fused into function, for meaningful minimalism. Carreras are of course classic, and so are little Porsche lighters like these…

Using: Porsche Electro Quartz Lighter

Before I bought a beetley black 911, I bought this Porsche lighter because I needed something to light my Jimmyjane massage candles. This lighter looks just as sexy lying on your nightstand…

Hating: Porsche Laser Flame Lighter

Porsche products are all designed in house, no licensing, so I’m sure the burgundy ribbing of this Porsche lighter echos some obscure part of a Carrera. I just prefer the clean, cold colors Porsche usually plays with… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/06/23/porsche-lighters-k-is/feed 1 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2008/12/19/porsche-luggage-k-is http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2008/12/19/porsche-luggage-k-is#comments Sat, 20 Dec 2008 06:55:35 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=1572

Wanting.

When I visited the Porsche store at Two Rodeo, the publicists schooled me that all the gear was designed in house: even the pens aren’t licensed. And when you feel product like this Porsche PTS luggage, you can tell.

I love the elegance of economy in Porsche design, and when your 69-year-old, billionaire boyfriend buys you a Turbo, you’ll find out how Porsche luggage perfectly fits into the cars…

Using.

That Porsche “Carfit” luggage wheels have Carrera rims is a little cheese. But I love that ultra basic ballistic nylon, the lightness, and–

That Porsche luggage is a great ice breaker with Korean businessmen when you’re laid over in Seoul…

Hating.

Somehow that airbrushed Porsche duffle doesn’t match the minimalist Porsche design I’m drawn to… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2008/12/19/porsche-luggage-k-is/feed 1 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2007/09/28/porsche-sunglasses-carrera-style http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2007/09/28/porsche-sunglasses-carrera-style#comments Fri, 28 Sep 2007 17:35:34 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2007/09/28/porsche-sunglasses-carrera-style

Most people’s “when I make it” includes a car they’ll accessorize with leather interiors that clean nice after pricey blow jobs, but I’d rather own Porsche sunglasses–Carrera-style–and a driver, than a Carrera.

Till Alfred’s chauffeuring me to strip clubs, I’ll be in fifth gear in five-inch heels and these Porsche sunglasses, sipping a hellish hot soy latte, double-checking appointments on a smart phone smarter than I, I–

Figure I can blame an accident on being a ¼ Asian Cracker Jap.
