I just can’t believe the extent in which technology is seeping into the remotest part of our lifestyle. Only when I see the good old bikini turning into a Gikini or the bra glowing up with LEDs, I realize that we have actually moved ahead.
Another example of technology getting too close to us comes to fore in the shape of this UV Intensity Bikini. On one hand this one is a cool piece of garment not only to get tan at the right places but also tells you the right kind of tan that’s good for your skin.
This happens with the help of the tiny miny purple beads hanging on the bikini. These beads will keep changing their color to darker shades of purple as the UV rays in the sun grow from Moderate to Extreme levels. The darker the beads the more potential there is for crisp skin, sunstroke and skin cancer.
After all prolonged and extreme exposure to sun rays containing the UV effect is no good for your skin and we all know that all tan is no good tan…so why not sun bathe only till it’s good for the skin.
Price: £99

Bikini is passé Geekini is the latest buzz word among the gamers, nerds, geeks and above all –MEN, who love anything that’s somewhere linked to the female form and this one gives them an easy access to the most desired assets of hers.
The Geekini is somewhat like a gaming bra. Designed by the naughty and innovative French designer John Nouanesing, Geekini Nintendo Controller classic two-piece bikini featuring strategically placed A, B and directional buttons from the original Nintendo controller. So to get into the player mode either you have to wear this on your self and then enjoy the game or get a real girl get into it to give you some real action.

I wonder who will play the game when he’s pushing all the right buttons at the right time. The girl has to be head over heels in love with you if she says yes to get all that mashing and pushing of her twin assets. Just have a look at the placement of the buttons and you’ll die to hit START and she’ll never want to PAUSE! I can bet men will immediately start their prayers the moment they know that geekini is just a concept awaiting materializing.

Business professionals and the people who get in close proximity to them must be well aware of that eerie and dirty smell of sweat that comes common to them, thanks to the thick business suit that they don 24 X 7 irrespective of the temperature and humidity levels.If you too are a victim of one such stinking boss, gift him the all new Farago Aircool suit from Aoki.
What’s so special about the Japanese suit is the fact that it emits deodarant to keep your boss smelling good and cool always. The Farago Aircool suit is lined with a deodorant antibacterial silver ion lining that not just absorbs smell but also stifles smell.
I guess it’s a perfect match to that air conditioned shirt that we showcased a few days back. As far as the price of the Farago Aircool suit is concerned, this good smelling suit comes with a price tag that most of us won’t find good enough. It reads $370 on sale.

Usually we have seen people grooving to the music, but the pacer suit flips the convention and comes to fore as a gizmo that produces music at the hint of your movements. All you need to do is wear the suit loaded with sensors and integrated speakers, which send out tones corresponding to the movements of the wearer.
Now, if you eye at listening to music that your shaking is producing just wear the headphone that comes along and get the taste.
Again a futuristic concept, we doubt as to which will be the usage this piece of wearable technology will be put to. Ah!…here comes something, how about musicians dancing away on the stage to mak some good music for people to groove upon.

Adding a new dimension to women’s self defense mechanism comes the No-Contact Jacket to keep you protected.
Once you wear itand activate it, 80,000 volts of low amperage electric current starts flowing just below the surface shell of the entire jacket which keeps any kind of unauthorized contact away from you as the moment someone touches you cannot escape the shock. The current would cause disorientation and loss of balance to occur and of course
The racing current is visible in the picture in form of little blue things near the neck. is actually arcing current. A great gift for your sisters and girlfriends and of course for your own self if you are a woman.
There’s no update on the pricing and availability though you can keep watching this space for the same.

If you vouch for wearability, sleekness and innovation in the motor cycle that you ride, then the Yamaha Deus Ex Machina is sure to catch your fancy. Designed by Jake Loniak, this one scores high on wearability quotient since the driver is required to be worn bythe driver. Yamaha Deus Ex Machina is an an electric, single passenger, vertically parking, wearable motorcycle, that is controlled via 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators.
If that was enough to let your curiosity buds go on a tizzy, the let me tease them further with the news that the mean machine is good enough to hit 0-60 MPH in three seconds and 60-0 in the side of a bus. I wish the concept all the best as I don’t think the so called wearable bike will score high on comfort levels and any body would like to be spotted on road looking like a wasp scrolling the streets in that ugly looking auto attire.
