Hot One Inch Action stands large with the creative ones..

Hello kitties.

I like buttons. You like buttons. I *really* like buttons. in fact i went to the Taboo Sex Show just to get a Terminal City Rollergirls button. which is only a half truth: i actually went to the Taboo Sex Show to TALK to the Terminal City Rollergirls and the button-getting was just a bonus secondary action. Fuck. yea. for bonuses.

Back to buttons. buttons are awesome. tiny, cool, and you can stick them virtually anywhere (animals and computer excluded). plus they can display fun mini art visions, words, business cards, faces, virtually anything you can fit on a button (there are no exceptions to this one!) Welcome to the table: Hot One Inch Action.

So the perfect recipe is buttons + art + TRADING….. wha? i d.o.n.t. want to trade my buttons. damn you. well, okay… but only for that one.

I want : the necklace that could kick my ass.

hello my kitties.

i have actually found a necklace that could and would (if cornered in a dark alley on a stormy night) kick my ass. like this necklace is so BADASS that my fierce self would not.stand.a.chance.

plus, this necklace does all the cool things like incorporate juxtaposing elements precious metal shaped like bullets and rare raw gem stones. hello people.. meet the badass necklace called the Moonage Daydream Collar.

Fashionable Podcasts: Lipgloss and Laptops

Hello all the pretties out there.

I know that technology and fashion go together like chocolate and marshmallows but this thinking extends to have technology infused into fashion. it goes the other way as well. mostly.

i am talking about fashion infused to the utter amazingness of geekiness. first topic of this high concentration of geekiness is the devised in the mode of the podcast. if you are reading this blog, then you know what the internet is, and you may have heard a podcast without even realizing. trust me on this.

the basic of a podcast is that it is an audio or video show that could be about anything. anyone can make them (almost anyone) and anyone can listen or watch them (they kinda rock). and you know what.

The podcast called Lipgloss and Laptops rocks. alot. and really hard. Why you ask. Of course I will tell you. Not gonna leave YOU hanging.

hello all you pretty kitties.

life has been fierce as usual in the homestead of technology and fashion. i have a few amazingly.awesome things up my sleeve but until then you will have to wait your patient butts. eagerly if you may.

it is always an exciting thing to see upcoming rad fashion designers create a collection that truly embodies the meticulously chic of wearable couture mixed with the clever delightful insanity of a circus ringmaster and a touch of the je ne sais quoi of a rock n’ roll leading lady legend.

tailor some purely ornamental zippers and viola: you have, from project runway canada, kim cathers’ new kdon collection.

technology and fashion. these are two words that i am completely obsessed with. absolutely love thinking about fashion and its technological future all spun in a creative revolution.

le sigh. fashion is about to explode in a massive transformation with technology. it already is. and someone is documenting it. and being a revolutionary. singlehandedly.

(i kinda want her to be my new BFF for realsies.)

Alison Lewis is part awesome, part rad, part LED, part femme cyborg and 100% editor/creator of the I Heart Switch blog. this blog curates a palate of commentary on life, style and technology.

terri & larry go together like fashion and… alpacas.

who ever thought that alpacas would ever become fashionable?
but they have. oh have they ever. and their truly fashionable and sustainable side is being shown in larry.
who’s larry. well. larry isn’t an alpaca. but is made of alpaca.
larry is amazing because each piece is a woven piece of art. and it’s wearable. which makes it that much more awesome.
stellar even.
