I See No Possible Dangers to Embedding Swarovski Crystals in Contact Lenses
Posted by Adam Frucci at 2:00 AM on September 3, 2008
Gee whiz guys, why didn't any of us think of this sooner? You know Swarovski crystals, those fancy, shiny pieces of glass that kind of look like diamonds but are much cheaper? Let's put them in contact lenses! Sure, it's essentially putting shards of glass on your eye, but it's just so cool looking! Bling bling! Going blind is totally hot this season anyways, so we'll just ride this wave of trendiness all the way to the bank! The eye bank! Hiyo! [Mami Magazine via BornRich]
Ah Miss IFA, Miss IFA... Miss IFA with your--fake--red hair, Miss IFA with your--real--long legs, Miss IFA with your really big Philips and Swarovski Active Crystals... how much do we love thee? Let me count the ways.
Hello, I'm a sexy lady who has been Swarovski-encrusted by my PR people in order to publicise something called the Urban Performer Unit. It's basically a handbag with a little pocket for your iPod which enables you to control your music from the outside of your bag. Nice idea, don't you think? There is, however, one slightly disturbing thing about this Austrian-designed purse:
I've proposed three times in my life. Once was with a traditional diamond ring (it went well). The 
As if adorning an otherwise fine laptop in Swarovski crystals or Hello Kitty logos wasn't bad enough, NEC has made a laptop with both Swarovski and Hello Kitty, making this the worst laptop we've ever seen. Seriously, we're not even going to bother showing you the specs, because if anybody purchases this thing from Japan, we're going to have to revoke their Gizmodo license. We're sorry, but it has to be done. [
There's a new Swarovski-encrusting, gold-plating organisation on the rise, going by the name of Gilty Couture. It's got a wide-range of precious metal hard-cases from $60 to $225, with crystals "evoking the Gilded Age of the late 1800s." However, one enclosure in particular evokes something else: it gives the newest "fat" iPod nano a Swarovski trim that makes look an awful lot like a first-gen Zune. My guess is that this was unintentional, but hey, if you're one of those fence-ridin' types, this might be your ideal stocking stuffer, in gold or silver. [
We normally avoid posting things coated in Swarovski crystals like Asians avoid SARS, but this particular crystalised Wii looks spectacular. The console has the Twilight Princess Link/Wolf engraved on one side, the TriForce logo engraved on the other and the actual TriForce (with
Just when we thought we'd stop writing about things that are coated in Swarovsky crystals, they had to go and slap their shiny mess all over a toilet. It costs $US75,000, which means you could easily coat a regular toilet in 750 $100 bills and have it come out looking better than this. Actually, you could take a dump, pick up said dump, rub it all over the outside of your can, then urinate all over the finished product, and still have it look better than this. Harsh? Yes, but fair.
