KRZR me!

Published by

I was asked to preview the new Motorola KRZR and since I love to give my opinions to whoever will listen I said yes. 🙂 I met with Ian from Hill & Knowlton to pick up the phone. He handing me this snazzy metal briefcase. Jesus, I said, am I on some kind of secret mission. The photo below was taken with the KRZR. Not bad at this size. I’m a Moto Q user so I’m not loving the phone as much as I would like. I really miss my email access :(. I said I would use the KRZR so I bit the bullet and switched the handset yesterday. Yes, that’s email withdrawal in less than 24hours. I’m pathetic. If I wasn’t already spoiled with a smartphone I think I would love the KRZR. I’m still getting used to the phone.

Kidrobot Gloomy Bear So freaking cute. Kidrobot makes some killer toys. You might remember my Madvillian toy and the video I made, it’s Kid Robot too. The whole back story behind Gloomy is hilarious Gloomy, an abandoned little bear, is rescued by Pity (the little boy). At first, he is cute and cuddly, but becomes more wild as he grows up. Since bears do not become attached to people like dogs by nature, Gloomy attacks Pitty even though he is the owner. So Gloomy has blood on him from biting and/or scratching Pity. You can get a bloodier version of Gloomy too. You get Gloomy at Magic Pony in Toronto.

Christian Dior 2007 collections videos

Published by

I thank Frillr for these runway videos. The Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring Summer 2007 is fun. The video is the complete show and it has lots of great closeups of the model’s makeup, detailing on the clothing and full body shots. I love the opening song, ahh 80s music. I can’t remember the name though, madame butterfly or something. If you know, please tell me. The Fall Winter 2007 Ready To Wear collection is out too. Watch the video. I was surprised at how tame he was at the show this year, no costumes.
