Dieter Rams Hairdryer Review from shiny tiny on Vimeo.

In a country that lets you ride your bicycle without a helmet while trams and cars try to hit you for points, it’s nice to know that on very special occasions they can really let their hair down when it comes to safety precautions and try to set the city on fire.

Happy 2010!

The closest brand I could find to these is Playboy vintage sunglasses. Pharell made some lookalikes for Louis Vuitton. Neither are the perfect combination of square and cat eye.

I need to have them.

I never cared much for this show, but the title opener is pretty fabulous. She-Ra of course is the sister of He-Man, another Lou Scheimer production. Mr. Scheimer was not only the executive producer of the show, but he was the voices of many of its characters. Oh, and he was also the executive producer for Fat Albert (I’m pretty sure he didn’t do the voice overs for that show).

What I love most about this opener is She-Ra’s voice: she sounds like a 49-year old drama teacher. At first, this is puzzling ad weird. But watching it over and over, I can’t think of anyone better to project a Princess of Power. In contrast, let’s listen to what the foreign exports sound like: Spanish: young and girlish. French: 60’s vamping. Italian: serious business.  Russian: kick your ass bitch. German: zuper zexy! Mandarin: Kung-fu goddess war cry.

Meanwhile, I can’t get enough of this:

And, how unfair is it that Raz looks like a lady hobo? Shouldn’t she be modeled after generations of beautiful Fairy Godmothers?

Totally not fair. Uh-oh, who’s this guy?

Lastly, if you remove the 70s trumpets from the theme song, you can totally hear the freestyle beats coming through. Can you feel that beat in my heart?

Riiight? I call her SheRa Lisa.
