I don't know who you are, Erin, but this Tetris Dress that you made makes me kind of want to marry you. There isn't much more to say about this great garment than that. And sorry, people, but it's a one-of-a-kind, so you can't buy one. But if you're the crafty type you can get the fabric here and make your own fashion tribute to the iconic '80s puzzle game. I really hope this becomes a trend.
Erin, call me?
Custom shirts with Shirts My Way
(Credit: Shirts My Way)After reading Rick Broida's post on how to save a small fortune on custom eyeglasses, I decided to do some research into what other custom clothing items you can purchase online. I found a Web site called Shirts My Way that lets you design your own dress shirt using a variety of different fits, fabrics, and cuts.
The project started with co-founders Michael Yang and Peter Crawfurd, who married their knowledge of custom tailoring with Web programming to start the site. The interface of the online design studio is simple, but comprehensive: the ordering process begins and ends with the shirt designers page.
From here, you choose everything from fabric (stripes, checks, denim) to design (collars, cuffs, yokes, pockets) and even minute details like the number of button holes and custom monograms. All in all, there are more than 7 trillion possible dress shirts combination possibilities.
The cost of the shirt depends solely on the type of fabric swatch you choose--all the aforementioned add-ons are included in the price. The company just launched the site last year, so introductory prices currently range from $59 to $69 with free international shipping, but prices will soon start at $65 and work their way up from there. Finally, the site is also running a 2-for-1 Easter promotion until April 19.
For more information on pricing, design, and how to order, take a trip over to ShirtsMyWay.com.
It's been a stressful week for all of us. As such, this week's episode is all about finding solace in the kitchen...mostly. It's also about unintentionally wearing your privates on your prom dress.

Once upon a time there were no iPods, iPhones, Xboxes, Blackberrys, or Tivos. Really, I'm not kidding. There were PCs, though. And they were really expensive. But we didn't have anything else to spend our money on, so that was OK. We paid $2,000 for our PCs and liked it.
Back in those days, there were three microprocessor companies--Intel, AMD, and a little Texas (it's an oxymoron, I know) company named Cyrix. If you don't recognize the name, that's because Intel had such a lock on PC makers back then that Cyrix's processors were sold primarily through the third-party reseller channel.
It's a popular misconception that Cyrix "cloned" Intel's processors. Cyrix's processors were actually all original designs. In fact, Cyrix's manufacturing partners--initially Texas Instruments, later IBM and ST Microelectronics--licensed Cyrix's designs for their own branded processors.

We thought this LED dress would be the subject of immediate mockery, considering our view on the infamous "Illuminated Handbag" some months back. But those who have far more fashion sense than us apparently think otherwise.
The lighted garment, which will reportedly be available only on the Japanese market later in the year, would apparently be de rigueur for club-wear, as far as Shiny Shiny is concerned. We'll stick to the kind of apparel we know--like solar-powered fan hats.

Countless apparel items on the market claim to play music, or at least play wearable iPods and such. But this dress tops them all.
The "Yuga," a conceptual frock from designer Teresa Almeida, has a speaker apparently woven right into what's called a detachable "belt," though it looks more like a saddlebag to us. But fear not, fashion mavens: Balance is everything, and this accessory can be offset nicely by a matching handbag for full stereo output. (Remember to carry it on the opposite side for proper acoustics.)
Perhaps a pair of speaker shoes will be designed for surround sound.

The only thing surprising about this product is that it didn't come out sooner. After all, even though Barbie is well into middle age (she turned 48 in March), she remains one of the most popular toys in the world.
So it's fitting that Mattel bring this enduring icon into the digital age the "Barbie Girl MP3" player for another generation of tween consumers that marketers covet so much. Not only will the $60 doll-slash-player hold at least 512MB worth of Hilary Duff's greatest hits, but Techie Diva says it also continues to the Barbie dress-up tradition with a set of accessories for another $10. Can a Ken GPS device be far off?
