Hasta La Gadget!

Unless you have been hiding under a huge rock for the last few years you will know that, in 2010, Lady Gaga shocked the world when she wore a dress made entirely from meat at the MTV Video Music Awards. This got me thinking, although I’m not sure it should have, about whether there may be any other crazy clothing items out there made from food. It turns out that there is. So take a look, there are some absolute crackers.

Smudged screens are one of my biggest pet peeves. Unfortunately, they’re virtually unavoidable when you have a smartphone because every tap or swipe on the screen will put greasy fingerprints on it.

For that reason, I carry a microfabric cloth with me wherever I go. If you can’t be bothered to do that, then you might want to consider switching out your regular shirts for these Summer Oxford button-downs. (Sorry girls, guys only!)

Aside from giving you a stylish and dapper look, the shirts have a not-so-dirty little secret microsuede patch on the inside that can be used to wipe away smudges on your smartphone’s screen. Heck, you can even use it to wipe down your tablet, if those darned smudges are bugging you that much.

Aside from the hidden microsuede patch, the shirt also has a pocket lined with bright fabric that you can inverted so it’ll look like a spiffy pocket square. Neat-o.

The shirts are made by VoyVoy Clothing and sell for $98(USD) each.

It’s a great conversation starter and a pair you can actually wear, if you dare.

Finn’s not selling the pair he made, but you can make your own pair with some LEGO bricks and some super glue. Though you might have a hard time finding a shoe as big as this one:

Staring at another person’s clothing is generally considered rude—in fact, the mere concept of gaze has its own history and critical literature. But in this particular case, it’s recommended: These two dresses, by Montreal designer Ying Gao, aren’t really complete unless someone is staring at them.

Any tech that allows humans a new type of insight is inevitably turned on ourselves. We want to know what else we can find out from peering in on our bodies or minds in a new way. Of course, x-ray machines were pretty much used from the start for that purpose, but it’s amazing to see these 1908 photos examining how a fashion trend was impacting health.
