I know real cassette tapes are, like, ancient artifacts, but vintage is so “now”, yes? Notice how the handles resemble the unraveling tape. For a relatively cheap 15 bucks, you can impress your friends with your retro-cool factor on full display.

Sick of that lame-o book bag your mom picked up WalMart? Upgrade yourself by swapping that thing out for this. It’s plenty roomy and durable enough to handle all your books, homework, laptop, notes to your friends about the cutie you’ve been eyeing in the hallway…you get the drift.

Available for $15 by clicking here right about….NOW!

The LG GD910 is one of the first 3G watch phones, with the ability to support wireless data connectivity. It even has a secondary video camera for video calls. Oh, and that’s not all folks! User input can be accomplished through this fresh lil joint’s touch screen. Sweet!

If that’s not enough awesomeness in one lil package, this watch phone can also handle speech recognition for input via your own voice. Now that’s really telling somebody what time it is! (Come on, you know you wanna laugh at my corny jokes!)

Ready to make a mad dash to scoop one up? Hold your horses and pump the brakes, people. Those of us in the States will have to wait a little while. LG has plans to launch the watch phone first in Europe, then in the US.

As clothing trends go, I’ve seen worse than the current fad of wearing two mismatched socks. Heck… I do that half the time simply out of laziness, and Sal Mineo famously did it in Rebel Without A Cause, the best teen movie ever, as a symbol of his inner conflict. But here’s the deal… can’t you do this without actually going out and buying mismatched socks? I mean… stay with me here… these things are sold in packs of three, as if to prove to you that the “odd socks” thing is intentional, and not just a screw up on a tough Monday at the sock factory. We get that. But really, can’t you just grab two pairs of socks randomly from your drawer and (here’s the magic part) simply swap the socks? Presto-chango, al-a-kazaam. No money spent, cool trend followed. Tell me I didn’t just blow your mind a little bit.

Here’s a question:

How do you save the world, look like a celeb, and still have enough cash for next Saturday’s party outfit? Try this on for size: pick up an “I’m Tired” bracelet from www.imtiredonline.com.

These hot lil’ numbers are making their way around Hollywood circles with sayings like “I’m Tired of Cancer”, “I’m Tired of Global Warming”, and “I’m Tired of Animal Cruelty” among others. Think of it as a metal version of the Lance Armstrong “LiveStrong” bracelet.

Be a do-gooder like Jenny McCarthy, Kim Kardashian, Christina Milian, Shannon Elizabeth and Lance Bass, who have all been spotted with these fashionable, eco-friendly bracelets.

For every $10 bracelet you purchase, the website donates $5 (that’s half!) to the charity of your choice.

What are you tired of? AIDS? World Hunger? Child Abuse? Autism? Heart Disease? Something else? You pick, they pay. Easy as that.
