Perfect For Any Rave: Ultimate Beach Ball
Posted on Jul 26, 2010 @ 01:19PM - Add a comment
We saw this Light Up beach ball and immediately thought, “How great at a concert!” but of course, you’d never get it back. Maybe stick to night Volleyball. It changes colors with every bounce and is bright enough to light up the sky. Batteries included.
Available at the UK company Boys Stuff though we do take umbrage with the site name!
Diddybeats: By "Diddy"
Posted on Jun 21, 2010 @ 04:15PM - Add a comment
Produced with Monster, who brought us the sonic pleasure known as “Beats” headphones by Dr. Dre, the Diddybeats by Sean “Diddy” Combs, are the latest addition to the music family.
Combs, who knows a little about music, has incorporated the most advanced technology to bring an amazing level of audio sophistication to his ear buds. Play one of your favorite tunes on your old ear buds and then switch to the Diddybeats. That’s all it takes. With club-worthy bass, crystal-clear highs and lows, these high performance earbuds will make you a convert.
Dr Dre, who worked in conjunction with Diddy (and Lady Gaga for her production) says: “Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound. But people can’t really hear it with normal headphones… With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do.”
As with the designer himself, Sean John the Diddybeats look as good as they sound. With the high-tech aluminum casing and the smart flat cable design (so they don’t tangle) these sport a sophisticated look to match the sound.
The brand –new ones are being made available with Monster’s “ControlTalk” headphone cable, which can be used with iPhone and iPod for music playback control as well as to take hands- free calls .
At $149, these aren’t cheap but they’re worth every cent. Available at all Best Buys and Diddybeats.

Click It With Clipa

Like most gals, I own numerous handbag clips, meant to keep our purse off a sticky floor. Problem is, you can never find it when you want it, right?
So this Clipa gadget is pure genius.
Designed to work with today’s larger, heavier handbags, it keeps your Coach / Fendi / tokidoki purse off a sticky floor. (My husband calls mine my bag “luggage” just to give you an idea of what we’re testing.)
