Hasta La Gadget!

Don’t let looks fool you, it’s no easy job being a fancy pants. Technology evolves at a breakneck speed and it’s a near-Herculean task to perpetually showcase an advanced sense of taste and sophistication. It seems every week there’s a new gizmo that you need to buy and then accessorize to the point of unfathomable exuberance. How can the stylish elite keep pace!? Thankfully, Slovenia-based Calypso Crystal has the decadent answer. The company recently introduced their new line of all-crystal iPod accessories.

Included in the new set is the Aurora Crystal Dock for a mere $349 (but act quick! only 999 pieces will be produced). Each of them is unique, individually numbered, and hand-painted with platinum.

Think a crystal iPod dock covered in platinum is a little too fancy–we are in a recession after all. Then you, my not-too-fancy friend, may be more suited to Calypso’s range of all-crystal iPod cases. It’s the perfect accessory for the music-loving plutocrat on the go. The crystal device covers are available for only $199 and come in three distinct flavors: Beau, Celestia, and Dune (I’m a Celestia man myself).

If Kanye West hasn’t tweeted about this yet, he will soon enough.
