edwin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:45:20 +0000

Do you happen to have a wad of cash which you are not too sure what to do with? Well, you could probably buy a very nice house instead of spending all that dough on the Louis Moinet Jurassic Tourbillon which actually comes with some fragments of dinosaur bones. Of course, the price is sky high not because of those ancient, decaying bones, but simply because you get 3.46 cts of diamonds, an 18k white gold case and an 18k gold clasp to go along with it. This nifty timepiece has a 72 hour power reserve and a functional tourbillon.

This gadget is but a simple lockbox that can hold up to a quartet of prescription pill bottles. Meant to keep your medicine secure from prying hands, it also prevents others from snooping around and deducing your ailments from the medication that you pop each day. We don’t think that this $14.95 device is worth it, as you will need to remember another number combination, since a regular locked bathroom cabinet ought to do the trick, don’t you think?

Nothing screams fashionable like a purse made out of Legos. At least that’s apparently what’s on the mind of Studio XXB. They challenged designers to use Lego blocks to create prototypes to be shown off at the BrickWorld Exhibit. This one is created by the designer Kara Ross. Maybe the Lego craze will leak its way into main stream fashion. After all, it’s not like fashion has boundaries or has to make sense. Just look at the 80’s.
